:o:huh: ...uhhhhh hallucinogenic drugs plus high places are pretty far down my list of things to do before i die...right towards the end...just above scaling a razor ribbon topped eletrified chain-link fence...naked...in the rain...at night...on national tv...in Alabama

*yawn* been there, done that.

:lol:

Susie--

Open Original Shared Link

For recaps, go to "Pick a Show" and scroll down. The forums are pretty funny :P

OMG! excellent, thank you Pah-ti.

Given some more thought to the whle moderator question... perhaps the big cheese has slected our moderators witht he whole "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" mentality...HE (capitalized to show respect) is really keeping a close eye on a select bunch of known table dancers and trampoline bouncers...it makes me feel better to think this is true...anybody see my hallucinogenic meds? :huh: My model glue? My whiteout? Something!Please! My cherry flavored highlighter !

hmmm...I think your theory fits, Scott did ask yours truly - that's right - a few months back, to be a moderator. :o

:huh:

shocked the bejaysus out of me....I pondered it for about a day and did decline. told him that I needed to be free to be as silly as I want.

Did not tell him that I have hardly a SHRED of common sense. :lol::wacko:

She was young and needed the money ;)

Patti....did those hallucinogens arrive ALREADY??? :lol:

PATTI !!!!!!!!!

Are YOU taking Susie's drugs??? .......

Merry Mirth Makers

:lol:

THEY (capitalized to show distrust and contempt) don't call them "drugs"...I have heard that THEY take a daily SOMA supplement...just a rumoUr as far as i know :huh:

OMG - I have nearly a full bottle of SOMA in my cupboard....from the heinous back debacle of July....hmmmm, forgot about those!! Will pull them out for painting assignments and carpet shampooing. ;)

Tom - sillability index. :lol: Once you're moved, you may find your mojo in San Jose. MOving is THE most heinous thing imaginable.

So, how does our Grand Poobah notify one if there's an offer of Moderatorship on the table? (I would be under that one, too...) Does he call in the early evening?..I've been screening calls big-time lately, and one persistent individual whose ID is "unknown source" has been trying to get through. Can't have been Bob Goulet, as he is clearly not speaking right now. Perhaps...hmm, no, it can't be. There have just been too many posts of mine in the last couple of years that Scott would flag and say, "Uh, Patti...(or Bev, or Ursula)..make certain that I never consider that individual as moderator material".

HARRRUMMMPPPH.....

(You probably have to know lots of MATH to do that job, anyways! Icky-poo!)

Well....long before the daily addiction to the silly thread....I WAS quite a serious poster! and, ahem, you may find this hard to believe...but I still DO sometimes venture out of this realm of madness and write something of......just the slightest usefulness. ( <---- <_< questionable)

What? Who, Scott? really? are you kidding me? Scott and I.....well, I'm not sure if I should tell you guys this but he calls me daily...wants my thoughts on this or that....keeps asking me to write a book, "the Celiac.com Chronicles," has asked that I travel along with his family to many an exotic gluten-free locale (Finland, Italy)....I tell ya, sometimes I just don't answer, he really just wants too much of my valuable time....but we teleconference frequently with all kinds of Celiac experts, they work it around MY schedule.....

*snort*

:lol: :lol: :P

off to the store. I think there is a bag of Nuggets in my future. :ph34r:that part is true.

Ah, this does not surprise me. I was expecting I might hear something like this. You see, just after I arranged that initial meeting all those years ago with Scott regarding my plan for a website for celiac patients and insisted he run with my idea, he told me he would go ahead on one condition: that I stay with him as the CEO, a second-in-command, if you will. The pleading...the grovelling...it is difficult to recount these things, to remember Scott as being so...needy and unsure. I was forced to tell him that I had another life I had to carry on with, and that he would have to find someone else to write the prototype for my book...you guessed it..."The Celiac.com Chronicle". I assured him that there would be another equally capable individual, somewhere. I also informed all of the gastrointestinal researchers that I could no longer head up the teleconferencing (I still do the odd flowchart for them). So, in a nutshell, Susie, you have to start screening your calls, like I do. I'm SO glad he's found you! :lol:

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd :lol: :lol: :lol: So YOU were the one!!!! :o I knew it...I just KNEW it!!! You know I don't really mean to brag or anything but Scott (and all the medical experts) do say that my flow charts are WAY gooder than yours. Now now, don't be upset, it's just the facts, as they are. My flow charts are - well I don't know if I should give this away or not, but since it's trademarked, I suppose I can.....my flowcharts are Tollhouse-cookie-scented. And I do mean the REAL ones, w/ gluten, not the ersatz facsimiles.

*snork*

oh you are FAR more than slightly off your rocker, my dear.

Plus, remember, you're gooder w/ numbers. :blink:

Okay, well, Susie, you may have configured smelly flowcharts, but you must remember that I mastered visual mapping of athletic T-bagging. And I presented such while up on a table!

:wacko: <---- Or maybe this is my thoughtful face!

I think I'm going to paint some sheets. Maybe next weekend.

I do believe I have had a bonafide case of brain fog today. The high point was when I was having an interior debate about... something... "Should I or shouldn't I, should I or shouldn't I...." ...and then realized I couldn't remember what I was trying to make a decision about.

      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.

      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?
