Watch that Dave, you are going to give Bev and some others

COLON ENVY

:o

:D:D:D:D:D Colon envy- I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And DOG ENVY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your puppies and dingos and doggies galore are all making me jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vincent -I hope your test goes well with minimal discomfort. You stay on to of them them and make sure they put things where they are supposed to go.

The Dave- You are only declining town hottie because you are being humble. That is a lovely quality but I think you fit the bill and will wwait to see if the others agree.

Karen- I love the geese that end everything with "eh?" "HONK, eh?" Yeah- they are checking for microscopic colitis and I'll find out Friday.

Picard- I'm supposed to do that same test for lactose. Been putting it off for months as I don't eat much lactose anyway and I'd have to drive an hoour and a half to do the the test.

Isn't TODAY the official full moon? Karen- I really miss you when you go off in your straight jacket.

I say we all congegate here tonight under the full moon and dance naked! Hey- it beats being in a straight jacket. And since rachelville is on the ocean, which is always warm, we can skinny dip. Mia mia- it doesn't matter what you look like! It's not about that! We love you just the way you are.... I hate Billy Joel music tho. :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

I'm off to have afther daughter day- going blueberry picking with my dad who is 76 and cute as a button. Do we have any older single women in rachelville? He could use a companion!

My dad's been in town for the week, too. He's 70 and could also use an older single woman for company ;) We're going to the mall ... blueberry picking sounds fun ... but he wants to take my other daughter (not Morgan or Chloe) shopping for her birthday.

Well, all the gluten-free people in our house are here!!! Morgan, Chloe, and me!! Morgan has her own laptop, so do I. The family computer is disconnected from the internet right now, so Chloe is having a fit. Maybe I'll let her on mine later.

Well I survied it. Wont know anything till Mr CardioDude looks over the results...

Did he tell you to buy some new running shoes? Or was he okay with the boots?

If everyone was over here, then, OMG, it would truely be madness!!!! Rachelville would have five more town idiots since they are all gluten eaters, and our house would be a civil war for the computer...if it's not already in the midst of that war now.

Oh I do nto see him for the test, the test has to be done by the radiolisgt ppl with all teh fancy licenses/stickes/etc that say they can use nuclear materail and stuff. He will get the results and call me, usally the same day, but sometimes the next day.

Some kind of heart test, which I'd tell you more about if I could remember, and well, the explanation is about 30-40 pages back I think and it's too scarey to go back in this thread. Vincent? :P

VydorScope Proficient
Survived what?

Nuclear Holocaust. :D

Fine okay heres the post I made on it about 9.7 billion pages back....

The MUGA Scan... aka MUltiple Gated Acquisition is a pretty easy test realy. I show up and they take some blood (why do docs ALWAYS need blood? Sheesh) and then they put a radiotative dye in it and inject it back in to me. Thats the freakest part cause you blood at this point is COLD and it it freaking weird feeling it travel up you arm to your heart. Theres no way to describe how wierd that feels.. anyways after that they stick me under a big camera and I have to try and lay still for it for a while OMG thats so HARD!

As for why? The short version, my heart is all brooken and stuff.

The longer version... I have a left bundle branch block. You see there are 2 major nerve branches that contorl your heart, one on the right and one on the left. In my case the one onthe left is non functional (aka dead) so theres no "BEAT NOW" message being sent to the left side of my heart. The body is designed with a back up plan for this case, and the message can travel via the right side and jump over, but its slower and less efficent. So the end result is my heart does not pump enough blood. I score about 44 or so % in what they call "ejection faction", which is not at all good.

So I get this MUGA twice a year to see if its getting worse or stable. If its stalbe I might be okay, if its getting worse that would be very bad. A pacemaker is almost garrenteed to be in my future... oh yea. Im only 31 way to young for this junk.

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref. ID:1335211 Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix.               On Friday, December 6, 2024, 1:04 PM, Consumer <baking@continentalmills.com> wrote: December 06, 2024   Dear Janie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix. We appreciate your interest and are happy to provide you with additional information. This product does not contain gluten. However, it is not manufactured in a gluten free facility. If I can be of further help, please contact me at 1 (800) 457-7744, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT), or visit www.alpinecider.com and select "Contact Us." Sincerely, Kristin Kristin Consumer Relations Specialist Ref # 1335211   I hope this helps everyone.  I am currently looking for a spiced hot apple cider drink and have yet to find one that is not made in a plant that manufactures other gluten products.  It's so frustrating.

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.
    • Rogol72
      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Thank you, Scott!  This is just what I needed.  Appreciate your site very much and all of your time and energy that goes into it! Kind Regards, Peg

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
