They Might be Giants....SO much well-written fun. Moxy Fruvous are as good, as clever, and every bit as toe-tapping. Home-grown boys you must check out if you've never heard their stuff. The King of Spain, in particular.

Oops missed this part!

(It couldn't be some insidious plan to up the post count! <30 posts from p300? :o )

Moxy Furious Fuehrer huh??? WTH KINDA NAME IS THAT!!??

OK everyone, you MUST check out the Grandeur of the newest Whole Foods!

So many features, but my fav line in the article is:

"While you shop in the store, you can drop your husband off and he can have a beer and watch the game"

Wait a minute, wait a minute...my dad was at our party with us, portraying the Dalai Lama. Unless...now, wait, I'm confused...maybe that really WAS the Dalai :o . Oh, Gawd...I kept calling him a crazy old fart. Ah, so that pained expression wasn't just some really convincing emoting on Dad's part. Naaaah, it had to have been my dad. Old Tibetian monks cannot dance like that...and drink! Whew!

oh my gaaaawd :lol: :lol: :lol:

oh the hell you say!!! You should have SEEN said crazy old fart (the Dalai Lama, or just DL as I call him) at last year's 46th Annual Chuck Norris Wee Cotillion of the Tasseled-Hassled Yeti and Friends. Um, we don't really talk about that night :ph34r: Don't even ASK Janet what she was doing under the table there.

Since we all intimately know and love Superweasel, "she" can justifiably be used, here...

GREAT cross-referencing, Tom!! Aunt Em and tornadoes. Neither obtuse nor oblique...I love it. I also loved Auntie Em. She just was not in that film enough. And neither was Bert Lahr, my hero...

Well, Duh, Tom! Of course the pronoun is in the neutral if it refers to an inanimate object..."the picture" requires "it". Are you going to dangle, next?! Tuning instruments is acceptable...but no dangling...! :lol:

Benicio could not possibly stink- he perspires the wafty arroma of TES-TOS-TEROOOOOONE!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, I heard Emily's dad (who really IS the DL) does too but neither are quite as potent as Chuck's.

So . . . Just a question . . . Are we going to get like a dozen posts from Emily as she makes a mad dash for page 300? She just wants the Open Original Shared Link, you know. She doesn't want any of that heavy responsibility that Bev has had to shoulder!

Well, Duh, Tom! Of course the pronoun is in the neutral if it refers to an inanimate object..."the picture" requires "it".

Oh dear .. .. .you've missed the conundrum .. . ..

In my attempt to say I LOL when I see Dingy's avatar, the it vs. her issue is more whether to, in a pronoun-y sense, refer to the avatar (it) or to Super Weasel (her).

Perhaps there's no conundrum a'tall.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
