The wormery is an alternative to a compost heap. great for small gardens as it's compact and the worms process very efficiently. Great also for small boys who love the fact that we are recycling our veggie and fruit peelings into worm wee and poo! :P Great also for worms, who now have a longer life expectancy as aforementioned small boy preserves them for the wormery rather than stretching any he finds to see how long they'll grow :ph34r:

We made the wormery ourselves (can't afford to buy one). here's the instructions for anyone interested:

Hey Lisa, you can create a wormery for YOUR garden. Then you will have some handy. When you want to eat worms - he he. :lol::blink::) Hugs

Hey everyone, I am not being mean as Lisa and I have been emailing each other. She knows I am joking.

Armetta:

I noticed that you have a hiatal hernia, me too (large one). Have you ever thought about getting fixed? I know that we share some stomach problems. Just something I'm thinking about.

And about worms, if they are so good breaking down compost, why shouldn't we eat them....might help with celiac symptoms :P:P Nah, just a passing thought. :ph34r:

The question is, are you sure those are gluten-free worms?

MY hernia does not bother me all the time. But, the one position I cannot do is watching TV from a semi sitting position in bed. I did think about having it fixed as it has gotten worse since I lost all that weight before diagnosis. Then when my food allergies went through the roof, I decided no way am I having any operation (if I have a choice) that makes me a patient in the hospital. But, if yours is that large, then I think you should seriously consider having it done. Make an appointment with the hospital dieticition and see what she says about feeding you. In our hospitals in this area they all speak Spanish and can't feed the diabetics safely, let alone me :blink::lol::ph34r:

Hi Rusla! Have not seen you for awhile. Has the beautiful Godess been at her cauldron. And NO people, I am not being nasty. Rusla knows I am kidding as I have nothing but respect for her religion. As you can see Rusla, that I am paranoid about joking on this forum. But, really, how have you been? Have I just missed the threads you have been on?

Mommagoose, sending some love out to ya!! Isn't it sad that things have gotten to the point where posting is stressful in itself. Let's laugh more, love more, and all get worm hotels, or what ever they are called. (I really want one of those, btw) :lol::lol:

Mommagoose, you are loved and valued :lol:

Hey there, it looks like you've been having a bad hair day...lol. Yes, I have been eating children perhaps that is why I have an extreme kidney infection. I have also been looking for some place to move to which is difficult when there is nothing to move to. I also had some stories to get out and I am lagging behind in my book which has to be done for Feb 28, So, I was just on a hiatus then, I come back and find lots of us oldies are missing. Perhaps they are just on hiatus.

I think my freshman live in this! :ph34r:

Rusla- It's REALLY good to see you! Yes, the board has been awkward lately. But this thread is full of love!!!!! Do you have any good ways to celebrate Samhain? I want to do something to honor the earth.

STOP EATING CHILDREN- it's very very bad. Although, it is a Modest Proposal :lol::lol:

You are right, eating children is like eating gluten. All that screaming inside of my stomach and their little claws pinching me hurts. It is great to see you again, actually great to see all of you again.

We as we celebrate the end of the year and our ancestors celebrate the eath. You can always do what I do, I do it for Yule also I leave seeds for the birds, stuff for the squirrels and on the hill I get on my vinyl gloves and leave out bread for the deers etc.

Due to probably weather and legal restrictions, I will dance naked in my house.

Alrighty, how many did I offend with that let me know if I didn't I will try harder next time.

I'll try harder....we want to have a bonfire in the back yard and dance naked. Can you get arrested for public nudity on private property? :P (I'm sure you can in America!)

That's cool... I just put out bird feeders and have been watching this group of 3 squirrels goof around on the old swingset that the previous owner left. They are such a hoot!

Yes, it has, I generally ignore the garbage ... I've gotten good at it so it's not unusual for me to seem ignorant of it (online and in "real" life!).

I don't think you can ... there was a couple who lived on a busy road who used to sunbathe naked on the front porch roof. The city tried and tried, but couldn't make them get dressed!! But, if you have neighborhood covenants, I'm sure they can get you through those!!

They are especially good bbq'd. The ones that are tougher would have to be marinated and some remind me of fishes so, those get cooked in lemon garlic butter and lemon pepper seasoning. Why pay more for your meat.

Hey Rusla, you forgot you are a Goddess, NOT a black witch. You are too funny and nope you have certainly not offended me - just have me laughing.

And I don't think I want to honor the earth by dancing naked in my home. I would barf with the image of everything bouncing and swaying to the music.

Actually witches are grey and I have the roots to prove it so, as a witch you must learn to work both sides when you need to. Now all of us women are Goddesses.

Ba ha ha ha ha......yes, my interesting thighs (hubby came up with that phrase and has never lived it down) would be quite a site. But I certainly wouldn't have to worry about black eyes. Do they make bras in negative sizes? THANK GOD FOR THE WONDER BRA! It's a WONDER they make one small enough for me. :P

Rusla- have you tried them roasted? They are quite tasty with some seasoning. :ph34r: Just make sure they're gluten free. And organic. And steroid free. and free range. And grass fed (or at least ice cream fed). And antibiotic free. Uhmm....did I miss anything?

      What might this EMA result mean?

      By RMJ · Posted

      g/L, a weight per volume unit, would be a very unusual unit for a celiac specific (EMA) test.   1.24 g/L would be in the normal range if this was a TOTAL IgA test. Best to ask the doctor.

      Searching for good MD/PCP in Portland ME Area

      By Lieke · Posted

      Hi Hi! I am looking for a PCP in the Portland ME area. I have been dealing with Celiac disease for 30 years. My specialist Celiac MD is in Boston, but I want somebody closer by. Am thinking of an MD working in functional medicine/integrative medicine who is willing to ‘walk the journey’ with me. Despite a strict gluten-free diet, I still have challenges, am ‘super sensitive celiac’ with at time cross contact issues when going out to dinner.  any suggestions?  much appreciated! lieke

      Food Tasting Salty

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Part of the body's immune reaction to gluten is to release histamine.  This tastes salty, just like tears and snot.

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I've had dry eye symptoms.  The eye drops did not help me.  What did help was making sure I was consuming Omega Three fats like flax seed oil and olive oil, and taking essential B vitamins, especially Riboflavin, Thiamin, and Vitamin C, as well as Vitamin A, one of the fat soluble vitamins.   Newly diagnosed Celiac can have trouble absorbing fats and absorbing B vitamins.  Most gluten free processed foods contain saturated fats which the body can't utilize. Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like gluten containing products.  The eyes make a film of healthy omega three fats which keeps the eyes lubricated.  Insufficient omega threes can show up as dry eyes.  Most newly diagnosed Celiac are low in Vitamin D, as well as Vitamin A, both fat based vitamins.   Thiamin Vitamin B 1 and Riboflavin B 2 are needed for eye health and optic nerve health.  Taking a B Complex vitamin supplement is beneficial.  Since the B vitamins are water soluble, any excess that the body doesn't need is excreted easily in urine.  The gluten free diet is low in essential B vitamins because gluten free processed foods that replace gluteny breads are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them in order to replace vitamins and minerals lost in processing as is required with gluten containing products.   Other things that are helpful is to refrain from using highly perfumed products (hair care, body washes, deodorants, room fresheners, cleaning products, etc.).  These can dry out the eyes, too.   Staring at computer screens can be detrimental because you STARE and don't blink.  The tear ducts that keep the eyes lubricated are in the corners of the eyes.  Take breaks from staring at the computer screen.  Look out of the corners of your eyes to the right and blink several times, then look to the left and blink to help the tears spread over the whole eye.   My eyes have sustained permanent damage because of nutritional deficiencies.  My ophthalmologist and my doctors did not connect any of my health problems with nutritional deficiencies which occurred with undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  My optic nerve shuts down and I lose my vision if I spend too much time looking at computer screens, led lights, and TV.  My vision goes gray and dim.  It's much worse than "optic snow".  It can take  hours or days for my vision to return.  My ophthalmologist said my vision might not come back from that sometime.  My ophthalmologist said the flash rate, refresh rate, is registered by the optic nerve which gets over stimulated and shuts down.  The optic nerve uses lots of Thiamine.  Thiamine insufficiency will cause permanent optic nerve damage unless corrected promptly.  My thiamine insufficiency/deficiency was not corrected promptly and I have this permanent damage and light sensitivity.  I take Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine that also is beneficial for healing the intestinal tract.  Riboflavin,  Pyridoxine B 6,  and Vitamin A are also needed for eye health.   Thiamine insufficiency can also cause anxiety.  Thiamine and magnesium will relieve muscle cramps. Talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals while your intestines are recovering.  Hope this helps!

      Reflux related cough anyone?

      By cristiana · Posted

      UPDATE I've been asked for an update by someone who sent a PM, but It's best to post health info publicly because this means fellow Mods can make sure I'm staying on the straight and narrow path with any advice I'm giving out! Alex...   Yes, my symptoms did slowly improve.  They started around October, from memory.  Approaching Christmas I remember the feeling as if there were feathers irritating my chest in my lower throat and in my lungs, and things like scented candles made things even worse.  I had a endoscopy and they found nothing wrong, I also had a chest X-Ray because of the cough which lasted more than six weeks and nothing showed. In the end I think the end it settled because I was doing the following: following a reflux/gastritis diet  (you can find lots of these diets on line, which focus on a low fat, low acidndiet, avoiding spices etc, avoiding alcohol and coffee etc) not eating three hours before I went to bed, which means going to bed with an empty stomach sleeping with a wedge pillow, which I still do, five years on... taking Gaviscon Advanced before bedtime, and after meals (not much, just a large teaspoon) using a blue Salbutamol inhaler, I think it was two puffs in the morning and two puffs at night. I felt a lot better after about three or four months.  I then only used the inhaler and Gaviscon when I had to, if I started to feel my chest was getting irritated again. I find keeping on top of reflux symptoms the way forward.  My gastroenterologist told me that the cough was to do with reflux/gasses in the gut coming up that can irritate the throat and airways and the fact I noticed improvement when using Gaviscon showed that that was what was causing it, because it provides a barrier that stops this happening. From the Gaviscon UK website: "It creates a protective barrier or raft over the Stomach contents (which is mostly acid, but also pepsin and bile)." https://www.gaviscon.co.uk/#:~:text=It creates a protective barrier,water and other neutral substances. This protective barrier stopped the contents of my stomach from coming up to irritate my throat, as I understand it, and allowed any irritation in my throat to settle. I do still take Gaviscon if I eat a late meal but not every day.  I hope this helps.  Do come back to me on this thread if I can help further. Cristiana
