Monday afternoon.

The first interview was by phone, so maybe that doesn't count as a first interview? :blink: :blink:

BRAIN SCIENCE?? Dear gawd, this institute likely has an entire file on Psillyville, right from the earliest pages.... .. . . .."subjects for study and debate". . . .....

:lol:

Best of luck, Jyess.....looks like a sophisticated, cutting -edge place. YOU SHOULD BE THERE!

And Paul Allen looks like such a calm, gentle man . .. . .a lovely, brainy guy for whom to work. . . . . . ..

I need another shower <_<

How do people LIVE here????? HIH did they live here before air conditioning???? :blink:

Swear to gawd--it's like an oven out there :o Literally.

Um. . . . . . . ...... . .all right, let's leave the big Psillyville Psummit meeting location open for further debate, shall we? :unsure:

:rolleyes:

Part of the reason I grieved so hard when he died was that I didn't want to give up the 'new' & improved Daddy I had. So I find myself (uncharitably) jealous of those of you who've been able to live your whole lives with such special parents.

And about three months before he did go, he looked at me one day, tears in his eyes, adn said: "I finally found my daughter." *gulp* and I replied: "I finally found my daddy." We had dropped our lifelong weapons of defense, and in his prolonged illness, he softened so.

Don't think it's ever gonna happen.....just wanted to commiserate with you two. I really understand what you're saying and I'm so sorry.

Again, I am poignantly reminded (and it is vital, for me, that this happens regularly), of how very lucky I am. Every night now I count my blessings. :)

Geoss! very exciting!!!!!!!!!

"what should exist?" I'll tell you what in hell should exist, and I think about it every morning of my life whilst in shower. <_<

I'd like a leg-shaving razor that is about three inches wide. I mean, WHY IN HELL hasn't anybody invented this???? I'm to shave how many square inches of skin with a thing invented to shave a man's FACE??? :angry:

Really. We need a very wide razor. Three inches. Maybe four. Imagine how few swipes one would have to take. Please speak to that smart Paul Allen about this during yer interview, will you J? :lol: *snort*

(and no, this is not my brilliant business plan - that one's called Hire a Hag :lol: )

Monday afternoon.

totally counts now, and you passed. :)

Um. . . . . . . ...... . .all right, let's leave the big Psillyville Psummit meeting location open for further debate, shall we? :unsure:

:lol: am in full agreement. WE couldn't go anywhere near TexAss until late fall, I'm thinking, or dead of winter.

Count yer blessings, Em. Your dad is amazing. :)

PadTea - I'd forgotten about your mum. I soooooooo hope you can find your peace with her.....though she sounds difficult, and SOOOOO completely unlike you....

am boycotting the HS graduation tonight (erased the ranting about it from earlier post). They actually didn't even get me a ticket, we are pretty sure, so I don't have to go, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

This might sound a tad macabre, but I'm actually a bit jealous of you guys.

See, my dad was NOT an awesome guy. Not most of my life. He was angry, rather mean and abusive, and very difficult to live/work with. During the year he was sick, a great deal of that changed, and I got to have a year with my dad as my Daddy, as loving and kind and wonderful as I knew he always could be. I know exactly how evil his mother was (a woman with whom I will NOT associate), and how extroardinarily hard he worked to improve himself enough just to be the mean bastard I grew up with.

Part of the reason I grieved so hard when he died was that I didn't want to give up the 'new' & improved Daddy I had. So I find myself (uncharitably) jealous of those of you who've been able to live your whole lives with such special parents. I can only imagine how hard it must be to contemplate losing someone who's so deeply imbedded in everything in your life, who's so well loved. I sincerely hope he gets better.

And hey, so when did I become the traveling chef?!?!?! Who's gonna shell out for all that equipment, huh? Don't I get a vote in this?!?!?

I am really, truly sorry to hear this. I, too, can relate to all of the issues with parents you have all mentioned (I had many quotes, but messed up and lost them).

Bunnie, a big <<hug>>. I know you are/were a good daughter, because you are a good person.

Peter, big <<hug>> for you guys, too. It is so hard to watch a loved one's health fail. I cannot imagine what it would be like to with alzheimer's, or the pain of no longer being a part of that loved ones reality. It's as though a stranger has moved in to their body--you recognise the face, voice, but the person staring out at you is not the same.

Pat, big <<hug>> for you, too. I really identify most with what you said about your relationship with your mom. I soooooo get it :(

For the life of me I cannot fathom why otherwise intelligent people would put pineapple on a pizza, along with ham, and actually eat the thing.

Peter, I am all for bacon, black olives, etc,

but pineapple, ham, mushroom (and onion) is too DIE FOR. A truly mouthgasmic food experience.

Afternoon!!!!!!

Pineapple, ham and mushroom on me pizza please!!!!!!!!

See? What she said :)

Nikki, everyone--I was sent a virus through my facebook friends PM account this morning, along with every other one of her friends. If you recieve an Inbox message that is titled something like "Pprivate Pplease. Vvideo of yyou Ppublished" do NOT open it. Repeat--DO NOT OPEN IT!!!!!!

Okeydokey....I know I live in Texas...and it's the south....and it's hot.....BUT pseriously Sillies--this is the hottest day I've ever felt in me life! I ran to the store (drove, really) ... planned to get there and back asap. Well, I got back here, and first couldn't get into the parking garage, and then my keypad wouldn't work on the building door.

I had to park the car, traipse around the freakin building to the front door, groceries in hand, praying it would open....and luckily one of the property managers was there showing an apartment er sumphin.

I need another shower

How do people LIVE here????? HIH did they live here before air conditioning????

I feel better now

Swear to gawd--it's like an oven out there Literally.

I am sso nnot jjealous.

i have a second interview

Woo-hoo! That is excellent news :D

Best of kluck to you ;)

Yes, use us as references. In fact, e-mail some anecdotes and a facebook link. Invite him to join yer mafia :lol:

No seriously, I wish you the best. I sincerely hope you get it, and that it is what you've been looking for :D

I think what I really want is a lobotomy.......

Yes, that ASS HAT from my former life. The most ruinous man alive. The man I will never forgive and loathe the thought of. HE pops up as a "potential friend." HOW IN HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?????? his WIFE pops up also, all the time. Ass Hat and I have NO mutual friends.

Suze, you crazee wacko sil. No more wuvvin' from yer baby skittle? Job boring you to tears? As if that weren't bad enough....

former love semi-surfacing on the book, like some shadow stalker figure?

You two must have a mutual connection somewhere. Facebook automatically generates those potential friend sugesstions based on info you enter, like place of work, where you live or go to school.

Julie, as Jess said, relationships are often complex. You helped open a window into some of ours.

Patti, you really, really did say "really" as many times as I just did. B)

The parent/child relationship is the epitome of complex. We love each other so much it hurts. I really don't wan't to add my own sad tale--I hate telling people about it all (although if my folks had come stay with me for the four months like they wanted to, I would have been e-mailing you'se like every ten minutes.) But, I can honestly say I am a good mother, and that is what matters most to me.

You appear to have flummoxed us all.

ME first this mornin!!!!

I stayed home from work today, not something I normally do. Got my period this morning, and without being too graphic, I'll just say it occasionally has an unfortunate effect on my bowels. I wasn't in the mood for hobbling back and forth to the bathroom all morning. I wish Imodium would work on this particular issue.....

Doesn't happen every time, just 2 or 3 times a year, but when those days fall on workdays I's in trubbles.....

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I have the same problem. No matter what I eat, I seem to get a break out every 1 to 2 months. I do not do oats, citrus fruits, apples, onions and other foods also, as those cause reactions. The only time I have zero problems is when I fast. The only staple grain I have is quinoa, as that doesn't seem to cause me issues. I have linked mine to a microbiome imbalance. I am currently on month 3 of Skinesa. It's supposed to take 3 months before seeing results. I guess we'll see.
