All hail the Angelic Millennial Monarch!

I'd bow, but I'd probably fall over :P

Late meeting last night (OK, it ended up in the bar....).

The city's (BI, not Seattle) cultural art budget is expected to be cut by 75%. And we, the theater group, get a chunk of money from them every year. Much smaller chunk this year. We need to figure out how to make up the shortfall. And the city's vote isn't finalized, and the city itself is $3million in debt, so it's not unthinkable that we'd get none. :angry: Stupid economy.

Patti, honey, can you just fix all this? We could compile a list for you...

A new day, a new millenium, a new Queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

yes, loaves of crutch-tip bread all around, pleez :P

(um, I think that NO ONE would be able to figure out what that thing is next to the bricks without explanation. They are NOT thinking that it's crutch-tip shaped bread, because, they just don't know what in hell it is and can nae remotely fathom it :huh: ) :lol:

Ohhhhhhhhh I am so tired. I seem to have drug-resistant insomnia........am just babbling on and don't know what I"m saying........ :wacko:

But - WHO IS OSCAR???????????? HOW DOES PATTI KNOW??????????????????????

:blink:

can't stand it..........

BTW I tried to be so stealth with Weezel last night, waiting in the wings......but, kept having trouble accessing the new account......every time I would try to post an av, it kept telling me I didn't have access to that feature..... Kept frantically tying to log on anonymously......was not allowed........

couldn't do anything, in fact, and I was really feeling that I was being discriminated against, fer being a dawd and all :blink:

so finally went to the link sent to Weezee's new email address :lol: again, clicked on the CORRECT link......but then I wasn't even signed in anonymously, so Padt knew I she was here

ruined the surprise it did, mommy's incompetence :lol:

Time for the Silly-gross out story of the year---

We work in an office of 19. We all bring in treats from time to time- baked goods and such. Most of the baked goods I obviously cannot partake in which is fine- I do bake and bring in stuff that is gluten-free. Sometimes I am envious the stuff looks so good--A few weeks ago I found out something that makes me glad I can't eat it. One of our coworkers does not wash their hands in the bathroom after going.....and this includes both types of visits *shudders* There are a select few that know about this now and we inform each other of who brings in what. This morning an apple pie arrives and it looks so gross--I have seen store bought pies look better---turns out Dirty woman baked it....

The woman next to me is in the loop and so she refrains from the treats- she looks at me and says how about some pie...and I look at her funny. Turns out she was pretending to scratch her behind as she asked me....

Then at lunch time John and I were sitting on a couch outside the bathroom--The baker of the pie comes down the hall and goes into the bathroom....was in there a few minutes doing her duty...and then the toliet flushes and she came right out. John looks at me and says I didn't hear the water run. I then explained why I told him he was not allowed any pie when he had been in my office. He had spotted it and asked to have some and I told him there was only enough for the office....He almost died of grossness.

You know several of us have caught her red or shall I say dirty handed in the bathroom. She has not gotten the hint yet. How gross can ya be????

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana
    • trents
      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
