Were you AT the convention?? I did think about you while watching the past few nights. It was quite impressive seeing the stadium full to capacity last night--so much energy :D

No :lol: ...but just about 15 or 20 minutes south from there.

I talked to a family member who had tickets and they ended up turning around and going home. When they arrived, several hours early too, thousands and thousands were still lined up outside waiting to get in. The security detail was quite involved, so they knew they would be standing in line for hours.

So sillies with the rainy day I have here I am thinking about picking up lunch on my way home and watching sex and the city for the rest of the afternoon.....

Sounds like a good plan :)

Well, ya know what they say... . . .the couple that pharts together...... .. ...

...probably isn't invited out to dinner as a couple very often........ <_<:lol:

:lol::lol:

Glad you're feeling better today, Amanda. It's not raining here, just kinda cloudy....sun is trying to peak out but not having too much luck. B)

I was doubled over last night with stomach pain/cramping. They found a hiatal hernia during my endo., and according to the sheet she gave me I think it had to be the onions I ate in my dinner. Gawd....another reason to have to limit more foods :angry:

At least this explains the hiccups and unladylike belching :lol:

GOD......One up Amanda........One down............Patti. :o oye vie.

Patti, I used to get like that with onions but can eat them now so maybe you will be able to also

so sorry for the pain. Couldn't have been excitment could it???? ;)

Is it gone now????

Did you wave at me?!?!?

Thinking about Bev :wub:

I sure did wave.......didn't you see me????

yep thinking of our Bevie.

Just hope it goes well for her this time.

Yeah--lots of trapped gas is what it felt like....but really painful from right under my ribs on down :angry: Ah well, what cha gonna do??

I did think about you while watching the past few nights. It was quite impressive seeing the stadium full to capacity last night--so much energy :D

Patti.....could it be your gallbladder? Did she test for that......forget :blink:

Yes, it sure was packed.......my clostophobia couldn't have handled that for sure :ph34r:

Last night John and I came home and Jen's kitchen window is on the porch stoop, so when its open I always yell in to her. So she was coming to the window and I bent down and let out this loud-very loud fart.....and John looks at me and starts laughing and pretty soon he lets one go too......We are a mess!

gives new meaning to '2 peas in a pod' :lol:

So sillies with the rainy day I have here I am thinking about picking up lunch on my way home and watching sex and the city for the rest of the afternoon.....Its cold out too. I dont even think it is 70 out....I hear it will get warmer by the weekend....last weekend of summer!!!!

sounds like a winner to me.

Nope--gallbladder is A-ok!! Ultrasound and blood work were fine for that. She saw the hiatal hernia during the endoscopy and this, she said, would explain my reflux/upper abdominal symptoms.

Gotta love when you actually get an answer for something! The other bloodwork and biopsys are still out, so we're waiting on those. Keeping me phingers crossed that somephin turns up that might explain all these phood intolerances.

At least, this doctor is willing to look...... :D

Nice googlin' Lisa--I had no idea he had such a name :o I musta watched The Wizard of Oz at least a dozen times or more through the years. :rolleyes:

The name is not mentioned in the film's dialog, nor is it in the original book. It is revealed in the fourth book in the series, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz.

Yep, there's certainly a particular whiff in the air when the heaviness of an impending rain approaches.... . .. . .

Let's be thankful that we're just smelling the coming rain, not yet feeling it in our knees, hands, hips...... . . . . . . . .. <_<:rolleyes:

Tonight a bunch of us are going to the Haunted Walk of Ottawa....a ninety-minute stroll around the old downtown and Parliament, with a guide who tells us all about the various ghosts and spirits that haunt the buildings and neighboUrhoods..... . .. . .

It includes an apparently not-for-the-faint-of-heart tour through one of the most haunted structures in Canada:

Well today was an adventure- last time the whole thing from start to finish took forty five minutes. This took four hours and was not fun. They tried to guide it in with ultrasound but it got stuck, had to wait an hour for interventional radiology. They had to guide it in with real-time x-ray and could only get is so far because I was having vein spasms. They finally got it in but it hurt like hell (after three novocaine shots) and I have a HUGE bruise.

Glad it is O-V-E-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Amanda---yer rain is here!! :lol:

It has been pouring hard all afternoon--I napped on the couch with my kitty, Kitty put his heads in my hands and we slept all afternoon.

Then Jen called me and asked if I wanted to run to Starbucks with her and Becky. So we did that.

I have to go to Wegmans but the traffic is nasty right now so we will go later.

      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.

      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?
