How pleasant and entertaining to wake up to a phlurry of posts from me sillies!!! :D

Mark and I went to Kohl's (sale on towels, I had 2 gift cards to use) last night after dinner and we stopped at Starbucks (natch) on the way home and the caffeine kept me up till 2 <_< Note to selph--don't do that again.... :P It had cooled to 95 by 8 o'clock--we're finding it's more comfortable to go out after dark.

It's so weird to me still that it stays so hot at night. I'll get used to it--it's just so novel this year. :rolleyes:

Leisough--sorry bout the garage sale :angry: So much work goes into setting them up and then to have a disappointing turnout ......bah! Have phun dancing today--no heels fer Brian!! :lol:

Nik--getting yer Sven on!! B)

Em, that par-tay sounds like such phun!! Can't wait to see some pics from that :P

Shroomie, me dear, take care of that elbow! Ouch :( We gotta get some of that sillie back fer ya :)

Soozle :wub: Such a rough time for you. Between the memories of last summer, the heat and the general warm weather doldrums.....I would love to read more of your thoughts if it helps you to write/get them all out. Do what you need to do to pheel better ;)

Sills--did you see me new pizza av?? I made that yesterday from a crust recipe I got from here. Phirst pizza wif CHEESE (real, melty CHEESE!!!) I've had in like 5 years :D Twas so freakin good :D HAD to take a pic to show youse guys!

However, Basenji's are suppose to be African barkless dogs and she is definitely NOT barkless. Also, I have never detected even a hint of an African accent.

Could she be... . . .Burundian?? :huh:

:lol:

Yes, Shrooooomie, that is rotten stuff going on with yer elbow. Take care o' yourself... .. . . ...

I would SO love to see an av pic of you with Farrah Head, as well as one of Brian in his stilettos. :lol:

The list of Nevers???

For me, I'll start with 'NEVER drink wine on an empty stomach'

That is a good one. Here is my current entry: "Never walk casually into a huge, private party of one hundred-odd Middle Eastern women in burqas as it seems more interesting than the party you are attending whilst wearing tattoos, a large red brassierre over one's lacy T shirt and blackened-out teeth".

Nope. Do NOT do this. I will not do this again.

:huh:

Hey psillies . . .. <weak wave> .. ...

Day3 of no coffee here. :angry:

Haven't gotten the tight headache I had last time I went coff-free, but unsure whether that's a good thing. :unsure:

Maybe if I were feeling some sort of withdrawals it'd mean something's changing?

Anyway . ..blah .. ...been wondering if I've become intolerant to something I've thought of as safe for years.

Better not be lemon juice, garlic or olive oil!!!

So, I've tried 2 wks egg-free, no change. Redbridge-free, no change. What else-free . ..bleh can't remember . .. . .

[the summary of all summaries]

Congrats on all the good things :) , sorry about the bad stuff :(

I miss mySELF. :(

Yeah, I miss me, miss the psilly-Pseu, miss the daily joy of spreadin' the psilly & uppin' da wackl .. . .....losing confidence that it can really come back. :(

Susie, I too knew that end of June = bad anniversary, & wondered how you'd be w/ it. Hope it's not too bad. :wub:

Hope you're ALL doing as well as possible. :wub: :wub:

Hey psillies . . .. <weak wave> .. ...

HALLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO, PTAOUGHMGHMNUSS! :):)

Great to read your words again! Even though they are quite sad/frustrated/tired. Sounds like you've been free of almost all potentially offending stuffs. Almost... . . . . ....

Anyway . ..blah .. ...been wondering if I've become intolerant to something I've thought of as safe for years.

Have you always thought that tobacco is safe? I seem to constantly return to this variable when I think of you, Ptaoughmghmn, and your unrelenting sickness. Even if you are not intolerant nor allergic to the chemicals/nicotine, that crap cannot be helping.

And it may be the entire reason. :)

Dunno... . . . .....it almost seems like too easy an answer. . . . . ...

But I now know two young people who got their lives back by quitting smoking. Both were quite ill.

Thinkin' about you, friend. :wub:

Yep--black olives, sausage, and cheese :rolleyes:

I will require the calorie-free cake recipe :lol:

Oh Patatughmn....it's so good to see you but not to hear that yer still in the midst of problems :( I would be happy to kick ideas around wif you--I had to do quite a bit of figuring out phood intolerances myself. Let me know if I can be of any help :) One thing that you want to consider is that it's probably something you eat often--like daily or nearly that often. It's so difficult to decipher sometimes.

Well... . . . . ....you canna really see our costumes in their full trashiness here. There were two shots taken of our whole bodies, both at the partay, and it was so dark in the hall that they are not very good. There were NONE taken of me after about 10 pm, when I took one of the bras, a big red one, that was hanging with underwear and socks from makeshift clotheslines around the ceilings, and put it on over my top. Don't even know if this is trailer-parkish (Jyaghnutt?), but I could not stop meself. <_<:rolleyes:

We are flying to Edmonton (Alberta - -4 hours due west) where we will stay with a dear old college buddy of DH's for two nights. Then we are driving to Calgary for three days, then Banff (dear gawd, I cannot wait to see the Rockies) for two nights, then north to Jasper for one night, and back to Edmonton for day ten.

The drive northward is right through the Rocky Mountains, and is apparently one of the most incredibly beautiful trips on earth. Cannot wait. .. . .. . .....

      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.

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

      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.

      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!

      @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.
