Sounds good, I will have to work on it this evening.

I want to get to Rochester one day, to the Tastings Restuarant at their one store, they serve gluten free things.

At my Harrisburg store the other day, I inquired about a salad that was in the deli case, and the chef came out and told me it was gluten free and then he told me he just got back from a Celiac Conference and such. Very impressive.

Hopefully one day you will have a Weggies closer to home. Or next time you go to Rochester stop in one of their stores, I hear Danny walks the aisles all the time.

He has agreed - with one catch. He wants his picture taken with you and Danny Wegman. Chuck's a big fan.

The whole incident reminds me of a friend who said she could understand why some species eat their young!

mmmm, Carla....

I wouldn't try that with all your food and lyme issues. Heaven only knows what kind of reaction you'd have to 'surly teenager'.

If he hints about staying just tell him to frisk his wookie and be done with it.

My answer to him is, Great! I'll help you pack! LOL

A girl that I used to work with said for her 18th birthday, her mom gave her luggage . . . just in case you hadn't thought of anything yet.

Richard, that is an INCREDIBLE avatar. The bar's been raised, and I can't imagine anyone topping that one. :lol::lol::lol:

Amanda, you could fire off a wedding invitation to Danny, and then your photographer can take a professional shot of Chuck with him. In fact, why don't we approach Danny for a corporate involvement in the parade?! Yes...we could advertise for them (large Wegman's float, perhaps, which he would be riding, with Chuck alongside)...Does Wegman's sell machine guns? We can give them that business, as well.

We haven't got Weggie's up here. Just a poor Canadian box-store attempt, Zellers. Now that our dollar is above par, I must try to get down there and find me a close Wegman's.

Carla, tell your son to get in this parade. A surly teenager can only come out of this endeavor a different, better person--he can measure the yeti's inseam, as apparently I may risk...exciting him... :o:lol:

In my vast photograhic experience, I have found that nothing "makes" a picture quite like a little Chuck Norris. B)

Susan did an interpretive dance

Until the yeti lead with his prance

She was immediately enamored

With the yeti's malodour

Enough to put down her wine glass!

Tom brought the Yeti to wash

But alas he was too big to squash

Into the bathtub, Tom tugged and tugged

And settled on perfume so posh.

Light wanted to braid the yeti's fur

With seashells that would make yeti purr

He still was quite smelly

As Tom didn't wash his belly

So light bathed him in balsam fir.

NICE AVATAR SUSIE! And TOM! And Richard....

The yeti held Chuck in his arms

Protecting all of his manly charms

Till Chuck round-housed kicked

The yeti through a wall of brick

Now the Yeti lets Chuck lead without harm.

BEV oh my LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD :lol:

And yes *glances around* I am slacking off on science. I'm SUPPOSED to be doing a quiz... BUT!!! yeah.

But LOOK how you are developing your creative and wacky imaginary skills here, with us!!!!! WHERE ELSE will you get to braid seashells into the stinky yeti's hair!!!!!!!! :P

Rarely am I at a loss for words, but Richard, your avatar design skills do, in fact, leave me speechless. However, it is becomig surreal--I, as well, think Amanda is posting when it is you. So NOW we must remain witty AND keep an eye on who is saying what, and it could be a trick!.....owwwww, my little brain....

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      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?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      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?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      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.
