Our wings are not tired.

Fortunately, the upstairs neighbors had decided that evening was a great time to start aerobics workouts.

Perfect timing! And you didn't even have to pay them.

That is a great house, flea.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist

I read that earlier. It's not exactly medical news that FODMAPS can cause GI problems, but it's interesting that gluten might just be one of a handful of problematic foods.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I overheard a student on campus saying something like, "Yeah, I'm tired all the time, and my hair is all dry. Maybe I should stop eating gluten."

My eyes are leaking and so is my nose. Trees! Why you gotta be doing this to me?

I slept in and then dragged myself into work because I have a Situation that needs wrangling.

Neko Case was great last night. And then we went to a bar after to watch the rest of the Blackhawks game. A good evening all around.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My sinuses are killing me today, but only started after I had been in the office (in air-conditioning and not breathing pollen, presumably) for a couple of hours. I don't get that.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

There is definitely something wrong with my intestinal system, but every time I read any of the diet things, I don't want to do it. But I possibly should not need to poop 10 times a day.

That...does seem excessive.

Sorry for oversharing. I have always been like this, so when my doctor asked me if there were any changes in my bowel habits, I said no. Then I realized that other people did not do this!

I had to ask a doctor how often a normal middle-aged female is supposed to pee, because all I heard was "are you urinating more often?" This is information we need, people!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Sophia, with numbers not quite that high, but still feeling like I was spending all afternoon in the restroom most days, I started a food diary. Which is how I zeroed in on lactose intolerance. Pain in the neck sometimes, but I prefer it to feeling sick all the time. Maybe a food diary would be a not-too-time-consuming place to start?
