Well, I'm just joking around of course, but it is true you get that image of someone in your head based on their avatar.

I always wonder what people think of me

We think the guy in your avatar is your fiance because we always forget he's not. :lol:

I am going to bury my head for this but...I did one of those bathtub toots once....and John heard me all the way out in the living room. :ph34r:

:lol: :lol: :lol: I have never done that, I think simply because somewhere in the back of my mind I have this fear that instead of a fart... ok, nuff said! :ph34r:

John is a few years younger and is not as rich :)

I am waiting for the wedding to change the avatar. :)

I have thought, oh what a cute couple :lol:

Ooops, not the right couple :blink:

Based on all the avatars on this board I get the impression there are a whole lotta cats running around out there in this world with celiac :lol::lol:

It seems cats are the most popular avatar subject......

OK maybe I shouldn't bother .. . . .but it WAS a funny silly day! :lol:

...Did he leap up in the air, and it squished against opposing player's deltoid?

:lol:

<pulls up chair and reaches for another handful of popcorn> B)

:lol: :lol:

. .. and when he asked him what his hobbies were, Ryan said practising trumpet. My grandpa and I almost died laughing!

ROFL :lol: :lol:

. .. .. He was in fact teabagged to death by chuck Norris.

So sayeth the Queen!! :lol: :lol:

Well, that settles it . . . Amanda, you need to trade in your Danny (No, that is not my fiance) at Wegman's av for your furball Lucky cat av! :lol:

Oh...I'm confused! :rolleyes::huh: Need some clarification, or play-by-play of my own, here. I read the definitions of T-bagged, then tried to imagine a player T-bagging another player on the shoulder. Huh? Cannot configure this...Did he leap up in the air, and it squished against opposing player's deltoid? I need a flowchart!

Wow . . . that was today? Seems like so long ago . . . must be time for bed (in the eastern time zone). SOME people have to go to work in the morning!!! . . . not me, but SOME people . . . ;)

You should see the rock climbing ones, it's quite a skill to climb AND carry the glass of wine without spilling a drop.

:lol::lol:

:o:lol: the skydiving one was impressive too!

And the steeplechase and the cartwheels.

Nary a spilt drop. :lol:

Perhaps your purpose is spreading the word on the oft-ignored gluten/mental health connection.

You'd do it well.

that's what I thought, too.

:( But....I'm....too.....tired. Seriously. Why didn't God take gluten out of my life a decade earlier, when I had all my FIGHT and STAMINA???

(oh sorry - too serious - - will take up elsewhere, or not at all, as it were, when menstrual hormones are spent) :ph34r:

I am just in a ferociously cranky mood tonight. HARUMMPH!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, boy :rolleyes: ....I'm a piece of work. In the context of this thread, I find it all hilarious: machine guns, yetis and their poop, T-bagging, 38 longs, Gay Chuck and the gang... nothing disgusts me.

Can I be saved? <_<

No. There IS something wrong with us, definitely. :lol:

Our Maine Coon is actually a Maine Coon mix of some sort, he is 1 and 1/2 and he is huge! He weighs about 14 lbs. He is so loveable.

OHHH!! a fourteen-pounder!!! My beloved dead Cookster Kitty was 15 pounds, all her life. Bit fat fabulous and fearless ball of Him-ahl-yan fun. No cat like her in the world. She was wildly popular - two of my friends had pictures of the old girl up at their desks at work. :huh: When she died, 14 years ago, is when I said to myself, there will never be a cat like that again. I must get a dog.

:huh:

and then dingos entered my life.

I absolutely believe that it's genetic. In my case, I got it from my father, who I think may hold the record for the longest fart in the history of the world. Or at least since Chuck Norris last had beanie wienies.

-Sarah

:lol:

Did y'all know I can do the longest BURP in the entire world? such a special talent....can only say a portion of the alphabet though. workign on that. ;)

OK, I have to bring this up now. Maybe some of you guys that have been around awhile have seen other pictures of Susie. But to my recollection, I've only seen this one with her holding a glass of wine. So now I have a picture of her in my head of her Larry King interview while holding her glass of wine. In fact that is how I always picture Susie . . . because thats the only picture I've seen. Holding a glass of wine while she does her yard work. Holding a glass of wine while she walks the Dingos. Holding a glass of wine while rummaging through her trash. And sometimes I think . . . "Susie! You really shouldn't be drinking at 8:00 in the morning! Put down the glass of wine for Pete's sake!"

The hell you say!!!!!!!!!!!! Put the glass down? WHAT? :lol:

Well, I've seen LOTS of pictures of Susie Q, and you are right, in each and every one she is holding a glass of wine.

You should see the rock climbing ones, it's quite a skill to climb AND carry the glass of wine without spilling a drop.

a true talent and skill, I tell you.

Oh, Oh, Oh . . . a debate!!!! Nature vs. Nurture. Is humoUr (and the type of humoUr preferred) hereditary or environmental?
'

Well, I was raised in a family that disallowed all scatological humoUr.....it just made us worse and worse. :lol:

By the way... :ph34r: Christian farts are funnier. :o

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! good one!!! yes they are.

You know what I think about all the avatars here on this board? Seems to be a whole lotta cats running around out there in this world with celiac

Have I told you lately how much I love this picture?!?!?!

This is what set in motion I believe the "what do you want to do when you are better/now that you are better" question in OMG.

A rock climbing adventure is inspiring :D

OMG, I am addicted to TLC programs. My favorite is Little People Big World and John and Kate + 8. THose crazy Rollofs and now John and Kate and their 8 kids.....good times!

Plus I like anything to do with medical mysteries, and I'll watch anything that shows a surgery :huh: I know, I'm a little strange...

Is there a genetic component to "bathroom humour," which only some have? (perhaps the same marker that lets only certain members of population detect the bitterness in cruciferous vegetables?)

I think there is :lol: ..and lets remember,if everyone found cruciferous veggies bitter then there wouldn't be quite so much excess wind in the world ;)

Well, everyone has something that bugs them. I'm horrified by the machine gun references, but I understand that people see things in different ways and if someone can find a way to make guns funny, then more power to them. We need more laughter in the world.

Agreed - guns kill people - farts don't.....wait :unsure: ......maybe Chuck Norris farts kill.

Nope - no hope whatsoever :P

Well, Christian farts may be funnier, but Agnostic farts are smellier. (I dunno WTH that means...! :lol: )

A genetic predisposition to bathroom humour...yes, definitely...something that was not passed on to me. I have never been able to figure out why my family and I never found poop and farting humourous, when the world guffawed around us. But that makes sense--generations of hard-wiring. May have to hit my reset button for this thread!

What fascinating personal genetic markers can we share with one another?

Let's see...I'm something of a boring wasteland. I can fold my tongue in half...I have perfect pitch (gone, now, I believe! :( ), my second toe is a good deal longer than my first, and oh! Anyone else have dimples above their bum?

Susie, I like the new av . . . however, we REAAALLLLY don't get a clear view of you right hand . . . you could still be holding a glass of wine. :lol:

Hmmm . . . I can roll my tongue, my earlobes are free (remember that one, do they dangle (free) or are they attached - I hesitate to use the word dangle on this thread with all that has been said before), and when I was younger, I could lay on my stomach, arch my back and bring my toes around and touch my nose - that would put me in the hospital now.

I wonder if bathroom humour is associated with the Y chromosone - it sure seems to be predisposed to development by men more so than women. (An argument for genetics, then, eh?)

That was me a few years back! I'd have more if my health had been better ....

Agreed - guns kill people - farts don't

No, people kill people ... farts might make you want to die though ...

      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like you’ve been on a really challenging journey with your health. Your symptoms (stomach pains, bloating, low iron, joint pain, brain fog, etc.) do sound like they could be related to gluten sensitivity or another condition like non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). It’s interesting that your bloodwork hasn’t shown celiac markers, but the lymphocytosis in your duodenum could still point to some kind of immune response or irritation, even if it’s not classic celiac disease. The fact that your symptoms improved when you went gluten-free but returned when you reintroduced gluten (especially with the donut incident) is a pretty strong clue that gluten might be a trigger for you. It’s also worth noting that symptoms can be inconsistent, especially if your body is still healing or if there are other factors at play, like stress, cross-contamination, or other food intolerances. Do you have more info about your blood test results? Did they do a total IGA test as well? 
    • KDeL
      For years, I have dealt with various gluten related symptoms like stomach pains, bloating, IBS-C "ish" digestive issues, low iron, low Vit D, joint pains, brain fog, and more. I finally got a double scope and stomach looks clear, but I have some lymphocytosis of the duodenum. I am wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, where I have not shown celiac red flags in bloodwork IGA tests. WIll be following up soon with GI Dr, but so far, my symptoms are intermittent. I go back and forth with gluten-free diet (especially this past year.... did two tests where the stomach pains I had went away without gluten in diet. HOWEVER, I added it back a third time and I didn't get the pains)   Anyway, I am so confused and scared to eat anything now because I recently had a few bites of a yeasty donut and I immediately got so sick. Any thoughts??

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.
    • Scott Adams
      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.
    • trents
      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.
