So is the Yeti all measured up?

OMG so guys here is our reality laugh of the day. It was still on the warm side today, low 60's...warm for October. So when we went to church this morning I wore a skirt. After church, the people have baked goods and mingle down in the church hall. SO I was walking down the walk and a huge gust of wind came and up in the air my skirt went.....oh was I embarassed..... :ph34r:

LOL, I know I was going down to meet people, see it's John's church we were at and that is the church we are getting married in. It is Russian Orthodox, so the priest suggested I come to a few masses to see how things are. I am catholic so it is much different. There is a lot of singing, but no organs. It sounded beautiful and I really enjoyed it.

Now, we need to give Ol' DL some benefit of the doubt...that ever-present twinkle in his eye is more than Godly worship--it's the flickering of a terrific sense of humour. If he were on our forum, I'm certain he would be typing crazily to finish my organ thought. After all, remember how he partied that evening and...oh...Janet, you weren't there. You missed nothing, honestly, Janet. Where were you, anyways? Do we have to start checking all the stray B1 Bombers when we're having our parties? :lol:

How do you have room in your head for all of that minutiae?

How dare ye insult Wizard of Oz lyrics in this manner!!!! :angry:

<she said minutiae>

OK ok . .. . I couldn't get "If I Only Had a Brain" outta my head in early June after an extended visit w/ the Wizard of Soy-Free Ozzfest, and was playing it on guitar, so I HAD to look up the words.

Annnnnnnnnd had to look it up today to be sure of the right line.

THERE!!! Ya happy NOW!!! :angry: LOL :lol:

Back when the Gin Blossoms were almost big(-ish?) they did it at a club show I went to. And The Jeffersons song too. And maybe some Josie & the Pussycats. :D

Well, Silliests,

Off to my birthday dinner @ The Outback, but felt I had to share with you some information that I was met with when I sat down at our laptop. My son's grade five assignment material is on the desk here, where he is looking things up. He has carefully printed on the one page of notes:

-Less convex and bulging zygomatics, and more vertically oriented

-A distict maxillary notch

What is this grade five assignment about?!

...It's about David Hasselhoff, isn't it?! :lol:

And we shall be in attendance to make sure this does NOT happen until AFTER you walk down the aisle :o My biggest fear was that I would step on the hem of my dress and it would fall down :o (strapless). Wait, I'm brain dead- is it November 3rd (NO sillies- not today- the wedding!)?

Emily is correct- the DL has an EXCELLENT sense of humor (and a REAL organ) :P:D

Now I'm worried...WHAT is a bulging zycomatic? And perhaps most importantly, will there be one in the hottub at our honeymoon party?

Yes, but it's only SIX DAYS AWAY, Amanda! How can you concentrate at work? You'll just have to keep coming on here...I find nothing else that makes the time whip by like sitting here, fraternizing with the cohorts who really matter!

I am having a hard time concentrating. I am worried that everything will not get done.

Whoa...it's very odd. Amanda, you have no one to divert your attention and make the time speed by, and I am leaving to teach another class. C'mon, somebody...Richard, get on here and keep Amanda company while I'm out. Susie, can you watch Amanda for me? I'll only be a couple of hours... :D

      New Study Reveals Hidden Gut Damage in Celiac Disease—Even Without Gluten (+Video)

      After reading the study on Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease I stopped eating processed foods that have milk as an ingredient. Though Gluten Free, "in a fraction of coeliac patients, Cows Milk protein challenge may induce an inflammatory reaction of the same magnitude, as did gluten challenge". After three months my lower belly...

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis o...

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.
