I made my first troyal appearance today. You won't believe what happened!

Queen Bev visits a major hospital to open a new ward.

She is shown around first by a nurse so she can inspect the facilities.

On her way, she hears orgasmic groans coming from a nearby room.

She goes to the room to investigate and, upon arriving, finds that a man is masturbating on the bed.

She asks the nurse "Why is that man doing that?"

The nurse replies "Oh, he's got to relieve himself every so often because he has a disorder."

"Oh, OK then," Queen Bev said, and moved on, but on the way she hears more orgasmic groans.

She looks in the room and sees a nurse pleasuring a man.

Queen Bev asks her escort "Why is that nurse giving that man a ball bearing job?"

Her nurse escort says "Oh, he's got the same disorder as the man before, only this one's got health insurance!"

Ahhh, the Kingdom doth prosper, and grow! Daughter of the Light, please come into our grand Processional Parade...I believe you would add much interest with your propensity for dancing. You could appear in the middle, performing your Danzon, or a merengue, which I noticed you mentioned in your last post. However, methinks you should be performing something more like a dirvish, as this all has a very Medieval feel to it. Hmmm....we could even have you on a large Carebear float, if you wish...

AND ALL HAIL OUR RIGHTEOUS QUEEN BEVERLY!

Nay to Papal Smeareths!

...and ALL balls bearing! :lol::lol:

additions to said decree (stolen from Uncle ray):

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bas#@* who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

9 This is my oath... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask;

"Because you are my friends."

Your Highness, Queen Beverly! The great overseer of hospitals, et al: We MUST induct Uncle Ray into our Empire (Poet Laureate? Certainly Court Jester) and he must be the Commissioner of the parade.

I well remember the Altoids thread, but I didn't know a vehicle made it into the Rachelville thread. It should be LEADING this parade. In Fact, Queen Beverly must ride in the Altoidmobile, and all follow behind.

I've realized something...Sarah, your name means "Princess". Need we say more? ;):lol:

Yes, I say, YES!! :lol:

Wow...this thread is developing into a palpable realm all its own...an empire with King, Queen, fifes, serfs and duchesses, many court jesters, (hmmmm...me....I could just be the slattern in the alehouse)....I think we should break into a huge virtual parade, with tassle-twirlers leading off, our Monarchs in fine livery, Lord Tom piping everyone in with his sax (could you manage something regal-sounding on a medieval hunting bugle, Lord Tom? Just for this event?) Tostito eaters and a fine yeti would bring up the rear. So regal...I wish we could parade all through Celiac.com! Just like the Santa Claus Parade, up and down all the threads and forums!! :lol:

<why didn't I keep that old band hat! You know the type :lol: >

WegetaparadeWegetaparadeWegetaparade!

Love the idea but I can't do it if ya put me by the Tostito eaters. I could tell you STORies!!

Health First, ya know. B)

And it's like that "peeing section of the pool" bit. In Calaveras, they found ambitious debris 5 FIVE ROWS AWAY!

But . .. . . . . .

Lord!?? LORD!???

M'lady! 'Tis worst of bad tidings to make-eth pre-appointment! :p34r:

T'will'i'n't thine 300th scroll precedeth annointment?

I'd predict a succession of queens.

Emily!! "slattern" . . .. .

This one hurts more than the other 2.

Where do I send the plaque. <_<:rolleyes::lol:

So now there's a tasselito?

All right, all right...Lord Tom cannot be near the Tostito Eaters due to cross-contamination issues...And I realize that we also now have burritos somewhere in the fray...wait...you don't react to yeti meat? You see, we have one of those, so we'll just put you at the rear with him.

...Altoids to the men?...Hmmmm, what a concept. Methinks this Kingdom could become quite an interesting place to inhabit! Hey, if I'm the village wench, I'll be the one with all the Altoids! :lol:

OMG- Yeti Burritos :P (closest emoticon to licking your lips) YUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Yeti will shovel off the roof of My Ice castle and THEN will make him into a burrito (sorry carla- this makes NO sense please disregard.

However, in the spirit of all things spooky, I found GORGEOUS photos of Open Original Shared Link

tom Contributor
So Sarah, can you eat a burrito in the parade because apparently the Tostitos aren't funny?

:lol:

Got back in Phx this afternoon. Off plane; to restroom. I sure never expected to be paying such attn to the width of my stance.

Ohhhhhhhhhmagod . .. . .did I smell a curiously strong exhaust of burnt mint a block&ahalf upwind? That can only be the Altoids Car!!

So . . . .. . did everyone personally debunk the myth? :blink: Maybe a Designated Debunker?

What else? . . . . . Murph the Serph?

Yeti-wrangling? Ack! Don't remind me! ESPN2 had on Yeti-wrangling Regionals the WHOLE time I was at the airport!

And Carla? Can ya wax up & play the melodies? I'm hoping to do '3rd line' stuff. B)

"Yes, we do take requests, but we're gonna keep playing anyway."

Sorry, I can only play notes that fall on the staff ... not typically notes written for a flute player ... I really should forget to turn my mike on on Sundays, but that would drive the guy in the back balancing it all nuts!

Plus, I can't march and herx at the same time .... much less, march, herx, and play my picc.

Ok, ok, so Tostitos have been known to assume dangerous flight patterns around me, howevah- I assure you that the company of us Tostito Eaters is nothing like being in the peeing section of a pool, thank you very much! :lol:

QB1!! :lol: "same disorder as the man before" :lol:

And another!! :lol: "Because you are my friends."

Question:

Are people misspelling 'baring?'

:lol: :lol:

Great, we'll pass out the Altoids to the MEN!!!

Hey! A little "lookin' out for #1" eh? Sounds like evidence of a fading herx.

You play flute? So do I! I hadn't played much in the last year but recently got back into it. I was out of practice and had to put one of the corks back in because my pinky wasn't covering the hole. I have an Emerson that I brought in first year university that I saved up for sooooo long to buy and I cried pretty much the rest of the day for spending so much money. It was worth it though; playing flute (or any instrument) is a great hobby. I can't worry about other things when I'm playing flute -- it's a good escape. Okay, that's enough boring flute talk. Sorry!

Nope, herx not fading .... just starting in fact.

Pretty sure I saw an enactment of The Herx Provision.

Didn't Queen Bev the First make it a post-herx parade?

Edit P.S.

~alex~!! Another flute! :D:)

I play tenor sax mostly but I'll bring my guitar anyway. The guit just got freq flyer miles for the 1st time since ~'81 & I think it likes to travel.

You want melody or high harmonies?

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

      For reference, daughter is 18 mths old. Was having painful severe constipation with pale stool and blood also bloating (tight extended belly.) Liver and gallbladder are normal. Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
