I am most bored.....everyone seems to be somewhere tonight 'cept moi <_<

POeter! You must rustle up a terrific costume (like, an Oracle robe and mitre, er sumfin') and head out with an empty pillowcase!

Then you can give out all the candy that you get to the kids who come to your door in the next hour, as, like me, the stuff is off-limits for you.... . . .. <_<:angry:

other than the prostitutes, this sounds like the making fir a fabulous vaca!! If I wasn't a married old lady with beh-beh's, I'd be seeking out Nik's son and his friends!!! :)

Yep, me too.. . . . .....legal marijuanna?? Wow......don't need a prescription er nuttin'.. . . ..... :huh:

Well, I was in and out of the city administration building in about five minutes. :huh::huh:

No line-up. Filled in the paperwork as I stood there, went ahead in, sat beside a nurse, felt the jab, then left.

People have been lined up by the THOUSANDS the last five days -- waiting times of two to six hours.

:o wow! so....should we all head to Canada for our phlughue shots? :lol:

I am most bored.....everyone seems to be somewhere tonight 'cept moi <_<

I am askeert to go back over and let him back in.....might get caught again...

other than the prostitutes, this sounds like the making fir a fabulous vaca!! If I wasn't a married old lady with beh-beh's, I'd be seeking out Nik's son and his friends!!! :)

Soozle, I just checked yer profile. Haven't done that afore. At yer advanced age ya should be damned happy to be buzzing, vibrating, etc., etc., and glad for any extra hours tomorrra :lol: Ye have truly out lived yer allotted time on dis earth!!! Ye gods, ye is coming up to 100 years old :o I dunno anyone who has lived dat long :rolleyes:

I would say that as elderly as ye is, that Brach's candy is definitely not in yer best interests, 'cept in keeping ya alive!!

We have a basket of candy (all made with corn syrup derived from wheat) which no trickortreaters cared to come and ask for (only 4!) but which we have to maintain as the only " 'Mericans" on da street, since we are likely targets, but our driveway is probly a bit long and scaaaary for wee uns (but it's daylight forevvins sake)!. Ya want me to send it over there so ya can live for anuvver two or three days??? Wide awake and vibrating??? :lol:

Pseriously, psorry psomfing gotcha :(

We used to do the hiding behind the blackout curtains bit too, but over here we are on daylight savings time and it is light forevver so long, and you get the teenagers sometimes coming around after dark phinally comes, so trick or treating can last forevver, 'cept it's not really big here so you end up with Mounds of candy ya nae can eat :( And can't in good faith give to annyun. Mebbe take it to the rest home???? :D

Take care, and 'night 'night.

Dear gawd... . .. .... ..I have dropped an iron caplet on my bathroom floor, and when I picked it up, with it was some obvious dirt, some unrecognizable li'l white thing (lint? Soap piece? End of Q tip?) and the back of an earring. No hair -- incroyable.

SO: no putting a big jar o' pills back in the bottle over here once they've been on my floor, unless they are filtered and fumigated through a major system.. . . .......

Jess--can nae wait to see the pics!! Will check FB in a sec to see if I missed anything. As I just hate to miss anything....

Nik--I wonder what happened with Tel.....could it possibly have been an inner ear disturbance or something like that? Sounds very scary, I'm relieved to hear he's better but do not let him wriggle out of going to the doc tomorrow. ;) He has been through more than his share........poor thing.

Uh-oh....carpet shampoo'in time again fer Soozle. Gotta gear yerself up fer that--it's like cleaning out a closet--you just have to be in the mood :P

We're taking a break--blinds are all up except 3. Have to run to Home Depot fer a couple of other things--quick stop at Starbucks--and then back to woik :D

Talked to Judith this morning--they are on their way to Ohio as we speak. Will visit phamily for a day or so there and then will set out for CA on Tuesday. :)

Em--yer pill :lol: Reminds me of a Simpsons we saw years ago where Homer eats a hot dog after it falls on the floor of the Kwik-E-Mart and rolls under the counter. By the time he takes a bite, it has various things attached--a band aid, a paper clip, dust, etc. Very phunny :P

I have decided against it. Did the 30-Day hell Shred workout, 'tis such an EGREGIOUS 20 minutes. :blink:

Now, just goofing around, getting a whole lot of nothing accomplished....puttering on projects here and there, starting and not finishing things, half-arsed cleaning out closet and then....getting distracted by sumfin' in the other room. :lol: Story of my life. I NEED a BORDER COLLIE here to HURD (sp?) me. :lol: I notice I am spending more time THINKING about what should be done....and then so much time has passed as I've fretted over it, that it hasn't gotten done. :huh: Super productive.

Have decided AGAINST carpet shamPOO for today. it's either mid-week this week or next week, when my boss is gone. Putting it off as long as possible as am hosting some high school friends (I think) around Thanksgiving. Bah. May switch venue to a restaurant. :unsure:

so today, can't decide between.....juicing some carrots and apples w/ a bit of spinach, or......just making fuzzies and watchign my movie :lol:

I am SURE I know what all y'all will say. :lol:

I gots ta git me o'er ta the book, czech oot thoze piks!!

Is it sick and wrong that we REALLY need a new bed I've been sleeping on the aero bed in the basement for a month cuzofa bad back, so we go to mattress world last night and of course the bed we need and want is the very most expensive bed in the whole darned place, so we asked about a floor model, they had what we wanted in the size we wanted--right place at right time and got a 7500$ bed for 2400(!!!) BUUUUUTTTTT, it kinda grosses me out that creepy, dirty, stinky peeps have layed on this bed icon8.gif

Hope y'all had a great candy nite. My kiddo's got in some majah trouble last night for being ornry and got all their candy taken away. My sonny boy was huntin 'round for it this morning. Too bad for them-they each only got 1 piece, too bad for me-the rest of the candy sucked, nothing worth eating! :rolleyes:

I gots me my vita-mix yesterday and have been pureeing everything in sight, kidz bettah watch out... Made cream of broccoli soup that tasted like crap <_<

Once I was having a dinner party and dropped an entire (cut) loaf of homemade gluten-free garlic/rosemary bread on the floor. Before anyone could see, I quickly picked up, reassembled and served :huh: Is that wrong?? :P

Are ya shredding yet Sooz?

Lots o' dealings with crutch tips here, lately. Wood crutches have tan ones, metal crutches have grEy ones. Hubby did his pirate thang for Halloween. So when he took off his artificial foot, he had to add a crutch tip.

.....Aaaand heeeere we are!

      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!

      @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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian! So, for the sake of clarity, you have self-diagnosed yourself as having celiac disease but are not officially diagnosed by medical testing. Is this correct?
