I Just Need To Whine A Little Bit

We have been waiting for this weekend for ages. Our anniversary was last month and we are finally getting to celebrate with a spa day and a fancy meal out on Monday. I talked to the chef at the spa restaurant who seems to understand the gluten issue and promised to provide me a wonderful and safe meal, we have overnight childcare for the kids and I can't wait.

Except my hubby was hurt at work today and now we can't go. We also can't build our chicken coop this weekend or the kids' tree fort and I'm feeling pouty about the whole thing. He's going to be fine thankfully, he had some stitches in his leg and he's on antibiotics because there was exposed bone (ick!) so the massages and mineral soaks we had booked are out.

Plus I got glutened yesterday from some unknown source. Could have been the Butterfinger (supposed to be gluten-free), the Kosy Shack chocolate pudding (supposed to be gluten-free), the Kirkland bacon (looked fine on the ingredients) or the McCain hashbrowns (supposed to be gluten-free)... or some other mysterious source like a kitchen pot or chicken feed.

Blah. I'm feeling cranky and sad.

Bit extreme just to get out of a spa weekend and chores! :)

I would send J & M to build the fort but they still have to finish school before they move in with you.

Yes, we can reschedule but I don't want to. I want to go on Monday. :angry: I'll get over it though, I'm just disappointed because it's been almost a year since we got away from the kids for a night. Something bad always happens. We went away for 2 nights last August for my birthday and I came down with Meningitis and spent 2 weeks in the hospital and another month at home learning to walk again and wwaiting for my hearing to return.

Well our two oldest girls are going home to Vietnam for July and August so we'll have room for two more then. Send them up!

Funny how that conveys exactly how you feel. I can see the grouchy pout on your face and you stamping your feet as you say it.

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae.  I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health).   I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides.  I prefer the supplements.  I feel better and my bones feel stronger.   References: A composite protein enriched with threonine, lysine, and tryptophan improves osteoporosis by modulating the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41915427/

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!

      Hi, @Sue7171, I thought you might be interested in this article about Lyme disease and the discussion after the article.   I found this article enlightening.  The finding that not only can alpha gal be problematic, but advantageous infection with Staph aureus can be problematic.   The Acari Hypothesis, VII: accounting for the comorbidity of allergy with other contemporary medical conditions, especially metabolic syndrome https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11983536/
