Ok, I'm only caught up to page 2272. I know, I'm a horribly recalcitrant sillie.

In other news, I created cinnamon buns (almost!) and I'm going to bed.

Am I the only one who really never has anything interesting to talk about? I'm sure something interesting has happened in the past few weeks, parently I'm just too tired to think of anything. I want a dawg, you guys're makin me jealous with yer aminal talk! I'll be back tomorrow to see who the new Reigning King/Qween is!

Welcome back, Julie. It's good to see you again. Not everybody here has a real life--I'm sure some of them are just making it up. :ph34r:

We have some new members in Sillyville since you were last here. While you are reading you will see Rachel, Rachelle, Jillian, and maybe some I phorgot.

GIANIT!! are yer inlaws movin in wif ya? :unsure:

Nope . . . they've already got an apartment lined up. Plus when FIL is in town, he prefers to stay at a hotel . . . he likes his privacy/down time. At the most, me MIL might stay with us again for a couple of days if she comes in to take care of a few more details . . . she does not like to stay at a hotel by herself.

In other news, I created cinnamon buns (almost!) and I'm going to bed.

Am I the only one who really never has anything interesting to talk about?

I find these two sentences contradictory . . . I think cinnamon buns are awfully interesting!!!

Meese are an interesting challenge. We get them in the house once in a while, but never are sure whether they get in on their own or have help from our cats. A while back Riley cornered a chipmunk in the front hall. We think she chased/brought it inside from the back deck. We opened the front door and it ran out, but only after a lengthy standoff.k

I am starting to phind it very hard to type a normal response to a pserious kwestyun. One duz not want to phrighten opphh the pholks with pserious kwestyuns. Dey mite think we woz mad???

Good morning, Psillies!

MmmMmmmMmMMmm. . . ..cinnamon buns. . . .. .. . ...

Buh-knee, have you tried concocting these with Splenda? I have always found that baked goodies suffer when I replace sugar with an artificial sweetener, even Splenda and especially gluten-free recipes. Probably just as well. . .... . ..dunno what would happen if I had a dozen of these things sitting in me kitchen, totally legal.. . . ....

Jyaghnutt! Thank GAWD yer in-laws are not movin' in with you! Actually, I sound much more uptight about that potential situation than you do. Cannot imagine why... .. .. <_<

Must tell you all about the unique experience we had last night. We were invited to attend The Carnivale Lune Bleue, for dinner and the shows afterward:

Open Original Shared Link

Well, it was like stepping completely back in time, into a 1930's depression-era carnival. Sword-swallowers, fire-eaters, side-show freaks (Sooooze! I just KNOW I walked by the Clovis Zombie Man), an incredible show of acrobatics, magic and mysticism.....fortune-tellers, bawdy showgirls, a wonderful swing band. It made me realize, and my kids now know, how tremendous these times were, how much better in many ways these entertainment venues had to be, back when there were no high-tech special effects. It was an unforgettable, "playful place of whimsy, wonders and delights, of sensual sights, sounds and smells; of historic rides, sparkling lights, stunning banners, captivating games of skill and charismatic characters who beckon you to partake".

Think I wanna run away and become a carny.

Morning Sillies-

Been quite a week--

The trip to Niagara was wonderful. My mom enjoyed it so much. She had never been and that made it all the better. From the falls we went to Fort Niargara and visited the Fort Niagara Lighthouse. It was the first lighthouse my mom had been to. It was really cool too. We then went into Rochester and did some shopping. My mom got stuck in a bathroom and could not get out and that was funny.

Tuesday I found out I was pregnant...before you jump for joy--finish reading. It was nice to be able to share that joy with my mom. I came home to my own house on weds. John and I were out doing some shopping and I was very crampy....very painful- odd cramps...by the time we got home I found out I was bleeding. We took a test and it came up negative. So I went into the dr yesterday morning and it turns out I had a chemical pregnancy and that means I miscarried early. So I was pretty upset and so was John we had both been excited but since we didnt really sdhare the news with anyone other than the close families it was nice to not have to share the worst news. As you can see I didnt post any good or bad news on the phacebook- there are many people who I will never share this news with. I did want you guys to all know. We are all close on here. Anyway, we put that behind us, we will just try again next month. We are just taking it as it wasn't meant to be.

So now I have 3 days left of vacation and we are going to try to get to the beach. Maybe late tonight and stay through till tomorrow.

Right now I am watching Hurricane Katrina....its interesting. A rainy day today here.

Hi to all our new sillies who came while I was on my sanitycation.

Judy- I bet that house sells soon seems like there is a lot of interest- always a good sign

Em the tree looks beautiful

How's Max?

to all I missed I am sorry :) Hi JULES!!!!!!!!!

So sorry to hear that. Is this your first attempt? Please keep healthy and keep trying. My heart goes out to you.

I'm so sorry too! That happened to me while I was at work 2 years ago, it was a horrible day. My silver lining was that my bestest friend had her baby girl on that very same day, I figured since I already had 2 beautiful kids and she had been trying for years with no success, God must have thought she needed my baby more than me. I pray that it will happen for you soon :)

jerseyangel Proficient

I'm so sorry, Amanda. I think you and John have a fabulous attitude--it will happen :)

Glad you and your mom had a nice getaway!

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Thanks guys!

John and I have been trying on and off for a few years but in the last six months have been more serious about it, watching for the fertile time, making sure we are eating much better, reducing things that harm you during the baby making process.

It just is hard since my SIL who lives 10 minutes away is already trying for #2 when she doesn't even ever have #1. She has her bad habits which you all know and sometimes I feel she rubs it in our faces that she has beautiful kids and we have none...its hard!

Amanda, sweetie, these aren't babies that you are losing. They are tiny angels that are preparing your body for the real babies. When you are ready, it will happen.

Hey, Manda!

I'm Sorry about your sad news. :( But hey....... . ..you guys are SOoOooo young, with nuttin' but time on yer hands. You've got the right attitude and it will happen! I cannot think of another couple who will make better parents than you and John. I have always listened to how you both are with your niece, Landen and your mom's foster kids and thought, "Man! Wait until they have a lucky, lucky child of their own!" :)

I had a patient last week who was going on and on about computer technology. He mentioned "cookies" then looked at me and said, "well, they're not the kind YOU eat." Did that jack-ass just call me fat? :huh:

Re: my 1st patient today:

Me hath decided toodae that I r officially not a fan of man-teets. I apologize if I am offending any of you gentlement who have these aformentioned teets. Maybe I'm not a fan because I be J-elloz and these guys have bigger (and firmer) teets than me, and I used to have bresticles so enormuz that I cudnt sleep on me back because I wood get short of air--Did you gnow that you can buy a size H bra?

I think I'll post what I did in the recipes section today, so you can check it out and see if it would translate well. I made it with only honey, so I would sub with agave nectar instead of splenda anyway. And the batter wasn't really thick enough to make buns with, so it was more like cinnamon bun bread/cake. I made it plain with just a thin honey syrup on top, I think next time I'll swirl in walnuts chopped tiny.

Manda, can I ask if John is taking pre-conception vitamins, or following a pre-conception diet? I've read a lot about traditional societies where the man who's to be the father goes through just as rigorous a course of action as the mother does. I'll look some stuff up. Obviously he can conceive though, which is great news!! I'm sure you guys will succeed.

NOW I have to ask. How do bresticles go from size H ( :o ) to so much smaller? And isn't you happy that they're not so hugemongous now? I'm a size C and I think they're annoying....

JNBunnie1 Community Regular

Oh, just thought I should mention, my boyfriend gave me his cold so I'm home from work today and not able to go and get stuff done while we have decent weather. So I'm sitting around drinking lots of tea and reading books and watching tv and playing with my sillies! The BF's also home from work, so I has company, it's kinda nice, he's blowing things up in the other room.

I boob-fed 2 kids for 13 months each and in between the little boob suckers, I lost 100#. Now I have size small C skin--can't even call them bresticles anymore--well maybe that would work because without a brazier, they hang like icicles :lol::lol::lol:

So....I just vacuumed fer about the 9th time. <_< Yesterday I knocked over a thick glass candle holder that phell about 4 pheet onto a tile phloor. The crash honestly sounded like a movie when something goes through a plate glass window! :o:lol::lol: So freakin loud--actually shook me up fer a phew minutes there.

I completely swept and vaccumed yesterday but I'm still askeert to go barephoot.

The phunny part is that it was a knock on the door that made me jump up so quick in the phirst place--it was the UPS guy and I opened the door seconds after this awphul crash.....he had earphones on and was completely oblivious. :lol:

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
    • Cathijean90
      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.
    • Scott Adams
      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.
    • KDeL
      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
