Both of my grandpas have been gone for a long time, so it's been many years since I've had any humour from their very funny generation. But my son has a favoUrite joke:

What's green and smells like bananas?

Monkey puke.

:D

:lol: :lol: :lol: @ the fart jokes!!!

Interesting things my kids have said recently...

Ezra still has trouble pronouncing the word "gluten." He generally says "bluten" or "gyooten." He has also been hearing lately that "Mommy has the flu."

Soooo.... This morning, when we walked into his preschool class, he announced to his teachers, "Mommy has the fluten!" They gave me rawther funny look, like I might have something really diabolical. :ph34r:

Lucas has been studying fire safety at school, and tonight had to recite and write his address for homework. We live on Joseph's Lane; his father asked him what street we live on, and being a true fan of Superman, he piped up confidently, "We live on Lois Lane!" :blink:

One example of how I know smartassedness (I made up a word) is hereditary--

Ezra has the disconcerting habit of sticking his hand down the back of his pants and scratching his butt. One day we got home from school, and he was feeling grouchy. As is not uncommon, he had his hand down his pants scratching his butt, and he followed me into the kitchen, and demanded at the top of his lungs, "I NEED SOME JUICE!" To which his 6-yr-old brother replied in a mutter, "Well I know one thing... you're not going to find it back there." :o :o

I don't think I have EVER laughed so hard in my life. If you're wondering where the hereditary part comes in... He gets that from his father.

Kind of fits the theme we've got started . . .

HYPNOTIST AT THE SENIOR CENTER

It was entertainment night at the senior center, and the Amazing Claude was topping the bill.. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his stuff.

As Claude went to the front of the meeting room, he announced, " Unlike most hypnotists who invite two or three people up here to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. "I want each one of you to keep your eye on this antique watch.

It's a very special watch. It's been in my family for six generations." He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch..."

The crowd was mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch until suddenly, it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces..........................

"Sh*t!" said the hypnotist...

It took three days to clean up the senior center.

EMERGENCY IN THE VET'S OFFICE

****************************

A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead.

The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.

The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows.

The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead too." The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead.

The vet brings in a black labrador. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks.

The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too."

The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes.

The vet answers, "$650."

"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaimed the man.

"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."

At 9:30 I turned it back, and there is Alex waking up with Eva......the old intern in surgery.....and.....O'Malley's wife and the wretched Asian doctor (can't think of her name) are cackling in surgery about their woes....

Halllooooooooo back atcha!

I was painting in the old Dutch style of well, the Dutch boy. It was a fairly large canvas (the south side of my parents house) perched atop quite an easle (40' wooden ladder :o ). It went alright. I didn't fall. I was charged with scraping and painting the eaves and everything more than 15' off the ground. I was about 75% successful. Must go back Sunday and finish. BOOOOORRRRRIIINNG

Perhaps someone else can fill in further details...I inadvertantly tuned in just in time to see an ambulance pull in with an organ donor for some old guy. It turns out it's his daughter. He doesn't wan the heart until the hobbit talks him into it. Meanwhile some pumpkin carver is in the ER (carves pumkins w/ Chainsaw? :o ) and has cut off his finger. Brought saw and severed finger lodged in saw with him. Guy behind curtain # 2 wants his foot removed for no good reason makes off with saw and saws off his foot. I can't keep up with the couplings so I paid them little attention <_< I'm sure someone else can better synopsilate (My new word :rolleyes: ) for you.

Big HARUMPF today. Work is SLOW whilst I'm here...they apparently come out of the woodwork when I'm away. have far too many phone calls to return and emails to process. Work is indeed a 4 letter word...

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By trents · Posted

      So, you have three symptoms of a gluten-related disorder: weight loss, brain fog and lose stools. Of the three, the lose stools that firm up when you cut back on gluten is the only symptom for which you have reasonable cause to assume is connected to gluten consumption since the other two persist when you cut back on gluten. But since you do not have any formal test results that prove celiac disease, you could just as easily have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In fact, what testing you have had done indicates you do not have celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten is the antidote for both. What muddies this whole question are two things: 1. Lack of official diagnostic data that indicates celiac disease. 2. Your persistence in consuming gluten, even though in smaller amounts. Your anxiety over the insomnia seems to outweigh your anxiety over the weight loss which prevents you from truly testing out the gluten free diet. What other medical testing have you had done recently? I think something else is going on besides a gluten disorder. Have you had a recent CBC (Complete Blood Count) and a recent CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel)? You say you don't believe you have any vitamin and mineral deficiencies but have you actually been tested for any. I certainly would be concerned with that if I was losing weight like you are despite consuming the high amount of calories you are.

      False blood test positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AndiOgris! Recently upgraded guidelines for the "gluten challenge" recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least 2 weeks to the day of testing to ensure valid testing, either for the antibody testing or the endoscopy/biopsy. 10g of gluten is roughly the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. So, there is a question in my mind as to whether or not your gluten consumption was intense enough to ensure valid testing the second time around. And was the tTG-IGA the only antibody test that was run? That is far from a comprehensive celiac panel. Concerning your negative biopsy, there is the possibility of patchy damage that was missed due to inadequate sampling as you alluded to. There is also the possibility that the onset of your celiac disease (if you have it) was so new that there had not yet been time to accumulate damage to the small bowel lining. Your total lack of symptoms at the time of diagnosis would seem to support this idea. Having said all that, and this is my informal observation from reading many, many posts like yours over the years, I wonder if you are on the cusp of celiac disease, crossing back and forth across that line for the time being. My suggestion would be to keep a close eye on this for the time being. Watch for the development of symptoms and request a more complete celiac panel a year from now. Here is an article that discusses the various antibody tests that can be run for celiac disease. Note: The EMA test is kind of outdated and expensive. It has been replaced by the tTG-IGA which measures the same thing and is less expensive to run.

      Hi, yes. Much more solid and firm, as opposite to diarrhea like when on gluten.

      False blood test positive?

      By AndiOgris · Posted

      Hi all I have had a very confusing year with celiac disease (or perhaps not as it turns out) and wondered if anyone can help me make sense of it? My mother was diagnosed with celiac disease (in her 70s) a couple of years ago. I am in my early 40s and did not have any symptoms, but I took a blood test in November 2023 and it came back positive (TTG IGA 23.4 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). I was referred for a gastroscopy to confirm, which was scheduled for October 2024 (I use the UK health service, things move slowly!). The gastroscopy found no evidence of celiac disease.  My gastroenterologist has asked me to retake the blood test, and it just came back negative (TTG IGA 1.6 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). Given the long wait between my initial positive blood test and my gastroscopy, I reduced my gluten intake but never avoided it fully. In the 6 weeks before the gastroscopy and the second blood test, I made sure to eat at least two slices of bread a day as recommended, and often I had significantly more.  So what's going on? I understand that false positives are very rare for celiac blood tests, and usually associated with other serious diseases which I am fairly sure I don't have (my health is generally very good). After the negative biopsy, I thought that (i) either they did not take enough samples, or (ii) I have "potential celiac disease". But now that the second blood test has come back negative, I'm running out of plausible explanations...  Can anyone make sense of this? I have not spoken to my gastroenterologist yet - I wanted to get a better sense of where I am beforehand so that I can ask the right questions. Under the UK system, specialist doctors can be very hard to get hold of, so I need to make the most of my time with him! Thanks!

      Do you mean that your stools firmed up when you began to cut gluten from your diet?
