Is there some 'Most Friends' contest I haven't heard of, as my time has been entirely spent in pod-related activity?

3 of ya added me in the last day & a half!! :o

But before that, I was officially acknowledged w/ Friend status exactly ONCE, by someone I don't actually know at ALL - just know of. (xxxxxxxxx25 btw)

Well, I have a BIG confession to make. I have no idea what making someone your friend on here does,--why we do it, what the perks are...Richard suddenly became my FIRST friend a couple of weeks ago, and then more followed. I tend to be something of a sheep, and follow the great flock, so now I have started "befriending"...Do we go to each other's houses? Can I borrow makeup or books from you guys? Do I now have special access to your hidden journals? "Add as friend"...it's a lovely option, and when I get an email announcing that someone has put me on their Friends list, I'm just all warm inside. But I wanna go to some of my friends' places... :lol:

When I added my friends on here I looked at it as people who I can always count on. We may have never met, and some of us maybe never will but you are always a mouse click away (times ahve changed and phones are no longer the first choice in contact)

We laugh on this thread, but there have been threads outside this one where we have helped one another and I look at my friends on here just as I do off of here. You guys have helped me.

My newest friends on here are all my sillies :)

Well, you're in the right spot to get there as fast as you can. If I had just stuck with the other threads, it probably would have taken me over a year to get there.

BTW . . . I noticed (from your profile page) that Scott paid you a visit. Hmmmm . . . what's going on between you two? You're not getting any "favors" from him are you?

We've heard that Tom is also into...inflatable things. So the spiked heels may not be on his borrow list, but I notice that in our basement we have a blow-up Santa for our front lawn. ...If you're looking for that sort of thing, Tom. I have to think about whether or not I actually want to hear your answer; this is a Santa Claus effigy, after all... :o:lol:

Okay, I still don't know why we officially make some people "friends". I assumed that you guys already ARE my friends. :) We can send personal messages through PMs to anyone without having them on our "Friends" list. What am I missing? :huh: It's gotta be more than borrowing good stuff... and Sarah, what's with the full email box?! I never get emails! I'm out of some huge loop....story of my life... :angry:

Ahhhhh yes . .. ... . I SHOULD have already stated that it's all full up & ready to roll!! :) :)

Well, not roll exactly .. . . . .it's pretty kewl how they do it. It's like moving ships in drydock. A big contraption detaches from the truck, like a frame on wheels, and surrounds it to be lifted and moved around w/out any tilting or ramps.

The contraption is almost its own vehicle, but I think not since the guy 'driving' it isn't riding in it - just standing/walking.

I'm guessing it'll be on a train for the trip to the Bay Area.

Ahhhhhhh my wonderful Bay Area . . .. .. .home once again. :) :) :) :) :) :)

Goodness! I won't avoid the issue--kept my maiden name...but don't get me started on that. Although...I must ask this: Amanda, are you keeping your last name?....say you are...! ;):)

Okay, so now I'm REALLY a'wonderin...(Thank you, Tom): Not only do I not understand why we make a special Friends list, I haven't understood the dynamics of such list. A few people have put me on their list, and I figured that because we're "Friends", they would be consequently on MY list as well. But nooooo.....So I have to put these people on MY list? Duuuhhhh...what a way to run a railroad. So, here I was thinking I was getting an impressive Friends List in my profile, but there's only Tom. Tom, you're my only friend. :(:P

I was surprised, on my 1st beFriending, getting the PM to inform me I'm a Friend of someone I don't think I'd ever talked to, even once!

I'd expected an opportunity to say ..

SILLLLLLLLIIEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(shaking head)

You need not fret so over the FRIENDS list. It was a feature added - maybe a year ago? None of us is sure why....except that, if someone looks at your page, they can determine if you are poplular or not??????????

and THANK GOD this other disquieting feature was aborted: you could actually RANK people! Go on their profiles and rate from 1 to 5 stars. :huh: There was a big brouhaha about taht, and it was abolished........................

and yeah, what IS WITH Sarah and her full pm box???????????? Are all the hot guys writing to her???? I also am out of the loop on this! (well, I am a constant deleter, is this why?)

Carry on sillies, I got nothin!!!!!!!!! :huh:

I saw the Friend's List as an attempt to 'MySpace it up' a little.

I have no friends. :( Can anyone recommend a San Jose (we say it "sannozay" btw) psychologist/psychiatrist for me?

And woohoo! Car getting tune-up now and I'm Hittin' the Road this afternoon!!! :D

(Ahh reminded of old Meat Puppets song which starts "We got road, we got time, so we're outta here") :)

1st stop Las Vegas to visit a cousin and spend the night. Then it'll be off to the beautiful metropolis of Fernley NV, via what MUST be one of the most boring roads in the West. <yawn>

A few days of fun w/ the 11 & 8yr olds there, before heading west again.

Aha! Another lyric! "Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand". Neil Young, Thrasher, ~2min before the line in my sig. :) :)

So here is my funny of the day

I walk down to the car at lunch with John. I have a bottle of coke. I sit down in the car to open it and it was like New Years Eve when some corks a new bottle of champagne. All the coke was everywhere. All over my khakis all over my pink shirt and all over and down my sleeve of my white lab coat. I used my tide bleach pen as best as I could. I am still dirty though.

      Welcome sillyyak52, I'm not sure of your age or if you live with your parents. Is there a nurse in your family or friend of the family that may be able to explain your diagnoses? You can get a second opinion by taking your lab results to another GI Doctor. Good Luck!

      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.

      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!
