I have to go out soon and shovel. Commounity services for the blind is coming tomorrow. They pick up useful household items, toys and clothing that we no longer need. Have to put out trash, if they will pick it up! They still have not plowed the streets near where I live.

I was worried about my friend, but she is staying with her son who lives near where she works.

My parents did not buy much food and now they are stuck at home like we are. Husband did walk to drugstore so if we really needed something, he could go get it.

We've got about five inches of snow at our house, but I have an Outback (and even have chains for it for icy conditions, just in case), so my husband was able to get to work. If Daphne wakes up before it gets dark, I might walk over to the store - we're lucky that it's can be a pretty short walk (~5-10min) if we shortcut through our backyard. It's looking like we aren't going to have the warming/refreezing thing that had previously been in the forecast for Wednesday (it's just going to stay cold), which at least means that we won't have the horrid, horrid ice conditions that could have occurred.

I hope you guys don't have to go out much!

My mom called and said we'll do Thanksgiving on Fri. So I'm redoing our meals. Chicken stew tomorrow. Lil Smokies in BBQ sauce for Thanksgiving, Thu. I can do those in the crockpot while I bake. Chicken is still partially frozen so that will have to be done on the stove.

Not good! We do have heat, but it's not enough. Had ice in th kitchen greenhouse window last night. Am going to bake a small cake now. The heat from the oven will help.

We had about 8" of snow at our house and it got down to 13º F (10.5º C) last night. It is 24º F (4º C) at our house right now. Fortunately we have a wood stove and it is nice and toasty at home.

We were on a HWY 12 in central WA and there was a little coupe that had skidded off the road. It was -3F and we were out there trying to dig and push the car out. The lady had 2 teenage sons and a new baby in the back seat :o 2 big trucks showed up and one had a tow chain, thank goodness! We were out there for at least a 1/2 hour before we got them pulled out. The lowest we saw on our trip was -7F and when we HAD to stop at a rest station, it was -5F! Soooo happy it was 47 here today!!

Glad y'all are safe and sound!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
