Morning peeps :)

Woke up to the news about Michael Jackson... :( .....not exactly shocked as I didn't think he looked particularly hail or hearty

Alsey back from Paris last night - he had a FANTABULOUS time!!!...they saw all the sights AND squeezed in a trip to Euro Disney!! :D

Anyhoo, washing machine on a double shift now <_<

I have some good news to report, Arnie has really made a lot of improvements with his separation anxiety/bonding issues. He does have a ways to go, but there has been progress :)

JOOLZ!!!! :wub:

The A dog dealing wiv his ish-ewes!!! :D

But I have to have a TVU (no- not Tuvan throat singing lessons- a va-jay-jay ultrasound). Will wear sparkles and perhaps jewels!

NO perhaps about it Bevel - you simply MUST!!!!!!!!! (A gal has to look her best! ;) )

OMG.. . . . . .. :lol::lol: Perfect timing....a phonecall to bring me outta this sad time.

My mom is currently sitting with my dad in the ICU, and just rushed to the phone to call me after the first exchanges with him.

About an hour ago, he seemed to awaken briefly. His eyes fluttered open, and he looked briefly at my mom. He mumbled something, and then said, more clearly, "you're beautiful". Mom's heart swelled, and she apparently took his hand.

Nothing for an hour or so, and then his eyes suddenly fluttered again. Once more his eyes found Mom's face, and he whispered, "you are nice".

Mom's brow furrowed and, half smiling, she asked, "Hey..... . . . .what happened to beautiful?"

Silence. Then Dad quietly replied, "the anaesthetic is wearing off".

:lol:

Now this warms the cockles of me 'eart

Les back on FORM!!! :D

Morning Sillies

Yea its the weekend! I am def getting home to see the family tomorrow. Nice weather, swimming weather! Plus my mom is watching the grandbabies so I get to see the new baby and Silvia. I cannot wait!

Still in shock over Michael- Farah we all knew was fading fast--but I must agree with Nik- Michael has not looked well- but I often wonder if the early death was caused by all he put his body through....

Think of you all often......am keeping up via gmail but in the words of David Lee Roth " I ain't got nobody no psilly". Too much going on but the general gist is nerve pain in the legs, medication changes up the wazoo.

Good and bad news- I don't have Addison's! :D But I have to have a TVU (no- not Tuvan throat singing lessons- a va-jay-jay ultrasound). Will wear sparkles and perhaps jewels!

Welcome back Bev, I think of you often too. So glad the Addison's results came back negative!!!

Definitely go in style to your TVU.....get out the Bedazzler and jewel-ify yer va-jay-jay!!!

Not good . . . apparently, Susie's old stylist has relocated here. She started off hardly taking anything off . . . I was a bit annoyed but didn't say anything. Then she started to really wack some pieces off. I think she was trying to get it to lay right . . . I don't know . . . but I think she decided she would have to take it REALLY short to get it to do what she wanted . . . so then she just stopped . . . it looks horrible, but it's the middle of summer and he could care less. His hair and fingernails grow obscenely fast so it won't take long to get back to where it was. I do need to find somebody (and then stick with them) that has the ability to cut thick curly boy hair.

I am dying to know what Sooooozle meant by this emoticode..... . .. .a dog's tongue is said to be lolling when it is hanging out of its mouth while it pants.

Haven't posted in eons, but have downed my third cup of wine, so feeling capable. Unbelievably long week. No word on the job. Lots of stuff at my real job, including being in charge of our newest person, without really being in charge.

Roomie is pounding away in my kitchen. oh crap, and i haven't fed the chickens. Back in a bit

Hey all--I've returned from the forumless powerless abyss of yesterdays storm. A big whopper blew through here yesterday afternoon and poured down 4-5 inches of rain in twenty minutes with 70 mile an hour winds that destroyed trees and property all over the place and flooded the roads. Gads, what a mess!!! I lost all of my food--my whole freezer full of gluten-free stuff for my daughter:( Scott was up all night bailing out the sump pump, and it was hot and humid and miserable. Power came back on this early evening, so I headed out to forage for food but it never occurred to me the grocery store lost all of their food too :blink:

Emily--great news about your father :)

Bev, TVU is not fun imo. It gave me a yeast infection, too :angry: But, it doesn't hurt or anything like that, just not comfortable.

The storm wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but it was RELENTLESS. The rain just kept coming and coming. Then the wind--my God the trees were bending over, the tornado sirens went off, and there were weird groaning sounds coming from outside somewhere--I don't know if it was from the trees or the transformers. Then the power went out, and everybody came out to see the damage. I swear, 2 blocks south of me they lost 60-80 foot trees, but it doesn't look like they hit the houses. Driving through town was pretty rough.

Many years ago Scott and I had a tornado take out our neihborhood up in Washington Twsp, before we moved here. THAT was the scariest storm I've ever seen!

I think we might head back up to the cottage tomorrow. I can't buy food here and Hubs has Monday off. I'll have to see how much laundry I can get done in the morning.

Toronto had some very heavy rains yesterday around noon. I don't know how much came down, but it was flowing down the street in front of the shop inches deep. We are in an old, somewhat decrepit building. Our neighboUr, the owner of the patisserie (bakery) beside us, came in just after one o'clock and told me that he was getting water in his basement coming under the connecting door to our basement. We followed it back to the source, and no, there was no broken pipe, just water coming in through the seams in the cinder block wall from outside. Power was not disrupted. The landlord will fix the problem. When pigs have wings. :angry:

At the height of the downpour, a parking enforcement officer on a bicycle rode up in front of the store and wrote a ticket for a car in the no-parking zone, then rode away up the alley going north. He had no raincoat or umbrella, and must have been drenched to the skin. :unsure:

I am here by myself tonight and tomorrow. Jacquie has gone to a hen-party with a bunch of friends out of town. The cats are confused, because I have been feeding them and that is not what they expect. They seem to be eating, nonetheless.

Come to think of it, he was pretty soaked when he came in, and there was that loud knocking that I mistook for hail hitting the siding :unsure::blink:

Seriously, poor guy had to set his cell phone to ring at 3 am to go down and scoop gallons of water out of the sump. It was filling at rate of 7 inches every fifteen minutes last night <askeert>

I am following the plan as outlined by the boss. But the cats associate food with her.

I come in the front door around feeding time. They all ignore me. JACQUIE comes in the door--three cats rush to her, meowing and rubbing her legs, expecting food. Meh. I don't count. :(

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By julie falco · Posted

      BRAND NAME: NOT BURGER PLANT-BASED PATTIES  A product I came across labeled gluten-free bought it when I got home I read the back ingredients further to notice that it says gluten with a line going through it u will see in the attached pics.     The label says down below that it is processed in a facility that also processes "WHEAT".  I tried to put this on the Gov. website as false advertisement but couldn't do it.  Maybe on here at least the word can get out to others not to purchase anything gluten-free without throughly reading the whole label....It won't let me upload 2 pics.  says to contact manager.   The products name is Not Burger    INGREDIENTS: Water, Pea Protein, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Bamboo Fiber, Less than 2% of: Methylcellulose, Dried Yeast, Rice Protein, Salt, Cocoa Powder Processed with Alkali, Psyllium Husk, Potato Fiber, Red Beet Juice Powder (color), Chia Protein Concentrate, Spinach Powder.   Manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat and soy.          MANUFACTURED FOR: The NotCompany, Inc, 438    Treat Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94110.

      I think a UTI caused by Aspirin, made me a Celiac

      By jimmydee · Posted

      Let me start by saying that I am self- diagnosed Celiac. I didn't want to pay for tests, because I don't have health insurance and the doctor said I would HAVE to eat gluten for the tests and I am afraid it will kill me. I diagnosed myself by quitting dairy, sugar and gluten for a couple weeks and figured out the problem by process of elimination.  ANYWAYS.......here's why I blame "Aspirin low dose safety coated" for my Celiac Disease.  I started taking regular Aspirin for a couple weeks for back pain and decided to switch to low dose safety coated Aspirin because I thought a smaller dose was safer for regular use. Well about 3 days after starting low dose safety coated aspirin, I got a terrible UTI. I didn't know what to do (should have gone to doctor) I started taking cranberry pills and read Aspirin can cause UTIs, so stopped taking that. A week later, the UTI was getting worse but then my Dad gave me some probiotic pills and the next day I felt better, so I took those for a week and the UTI was gone. About a week later, I bought my family cake and pizza for a birthday party. I ate a whole bunch and there was some leftover the next day, so I ate a bunch again. Welp, that was my first Gluten attack. I was home alone and almost called an ambulance, my stomach was so full of gas I couldn't breathe, I was covered in sweat and thought I was having a heart attack.  Since quitting Gluten I haven't had the "gas attacks" or had the awful constipation that lasts 3 days. So I'm certain I'm Celiac and I absolutely blame low dose safety coated Aspirin, I think it's the time release binder that is the problem, because I was fine with regular aspirin, I was just breaking those into halves or quarters. Actually now that I think about it I may have even used the regular aspirin at other times in my life before that, just not the little low dose safety coated Aspirin, that's what I think caused it. What's weird is my Dad took the low dose safety coated Aspirin for years and years, for it's reported heart benefits, and he never got Celiac.  Anyways, I felt this was important to share, so they can find the cause of this disease, which seems to be affecting more people than ever before. At least Gluten Free Pizza exists, that's been my new staple food in my diet.

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.
