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.

:o:lol: Oh good Lord! Glad you're laughing about it.

well where IS Everybody? some are moving......but - - Nikki, Bev??? and where's Julie been? I think we lost Daughter entirely - :huh: Richard - too many paint fumes? (my god, remember when everything had to be painted in oil - - how DID we survive our lead-tainted childhoods :lol: :lol: :lol:)

OMG - is nothing sacred - there is Chris Botti playing Nessun Dorma on his trumpet (?).....that ain't right....what's next.....Kenny G playing Vivaldi's Gloria on his insipid sax??????????????

:lol:

slow day here, folks.......nothing to see......just drive on....................

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??????????

Yes, yes . . . the most popular wins!

OK for all of you nonfriendly sort . . . you can enable the ability to block people from adding you to their friends list by changing something in your personal portal info . . . you would have the ability to aprove them first. The default is that anybody can add you if they want to. So if you feel inclined to approve anyone that wants to be your friend then make the change . . . then that's were the friends pending list comes in.

Also, should any of you nonfriendly types want to PM somebody, you can type in their name or find their name in a thread . . . OR if they are in your friends list, you get a little menu that you can select them as your PM recipient.

Also with your friends list, you can do a quick check to see if they've been on recently . . . unless your Bev because she has that blocked and I haven't looked into how she did that.

Sorry to tell you, if you want your own friends list, you have to build it yourself. Doesn't mean you have too . . . doesn't mean that if we have added you and you don't add us back, we will be offended . . . much. :(:huh::lol::lol:

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........................

OMG...Talk about politically incorrect...Ranking people? I was blissfully unaware of this feature while it was around. I'd be ONE star, across the board--then, like you, Tom, I'd be asking for psychiatrist referrals in the Ottawa area. :lol:

I am so amused by the complexity of it all...Ha! :lol: Friends are friends because of the ease with which the relationship happens...Unless you're on the Celiac.com forum--then you've gotta WORK for them friends! And I must say...do any of us sit at work, or in the car, or stand at the bank, and suddenly think, "Whoa! Forget this--I gotta get to my computer and find out if Emily's been on lately!" An...interesting feature...(!)

Bev, it's funny you mention this. I was just thinking yesterday (y'know, deep birthday thoughts, where's-the-time-going, guilt, regrets, all those horrid yearly pinings as the hourglass slowly runs in the background), that I have been SO lax in my responibilities of helping the newbies who get on here, depressed and frightened. Our Cult of Madness makes it very tough to visit anywhere else, particularly with a straight face. I find myself about to post the funniest responses to very serious questions. "Help! My stomach just stays SO bloated!" or "What can I tell my mother-in-law when she brings over her homemade scones?", or "check these pics of my backside out...is this DH?" These things resonate, now, with an inane hilarity, and before my life in Sillyland I was easily able to empathise and advise. WHAT"S HAPPENING TO US ALL? I just smirk at almost everything now....

...It's fantastic!.... B):lol::lol:

I know...me too. I even find myself driving in my car thinking of funny things to tell you guys. I want to help the newbies too but right now, i'm so tired.....I just need to be free to be bawdily silly!!!!!!!!!! :D:o

Carla- EXCELLENT dope slap on your son! WHAT did he DO to deserve it??????? Teenage boys are always up to something evil (we need GREEN GUY AND DEVIL emoticon). :ph34r: <-------The ph34r guy just doesn't cut it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SARAH- a fellow Heroes fan! I LOVE that show but went to bed before it was on last night (we recorded it) so don't tell me what happened. I LOVE Parkman and Hiro. Something about Parkman just says "I am a big 'ol teddy bear". SO mad when his UGLY wife left him. To be in the 501 club just post like 150 times. We don't care if youo jibber at us...maybe it will even make YOU the next queen!

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:

Yes- Tom can borrow your makeup, Richard has access to your hidden journals and they BOTH know about your lingerie drawer. And there's always spouse/significant other switch night. :o :o :o :o If you have no significant other- not sure who does and doesn't- you have 3 choices:

1. Bon Jovi

2. Reese Witherspoon

3. A male or female yeti (freshly shampooed of course).

The friend's feature is lovely but my favorite is the COMMENTS section where you can say nice things about each other.

Also with your friends list, you can do a quick check to see if they've been on recently . . . unless your Bev because she has that blocked and I haven't looked into how she did that.

You caught me (shhh!!!!!!!) I logged on as invisible cause as a moderator theres a few threads I's keeping me eyes on. SHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do it by logging out, then log back in and checking log me in invisible. Then you can be but a mere ghost that no one can see, and SWOOP down at any moment, add a reply, then disappear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

With the star thing (when we had it) I thought it was evil so I just went in and gave everyone 5 stars.

Okay...I hate having no friends! I'm finding you all and you're ALL going to be informed that I've put you on my friends list. ..Wait, now...is this like facebook? Can you refuse to be my friend? I don't know how I would manage that. Any psychiatrist recommendations yet, Tom?

Well - I have been helping some newbies a bit - but I think I got removed from some friends lists :lol: because I told someone he could scrub the hell out of his cast iron skillet and still use it............ :huh: (well, that's what *I* would do anyway)

and then I tried to tell someone that she could consider getting her 'ROIDS lanced - she doesn't have insurance and I don't think it's a DIY situation... :huh:

Yes, and my offer is still there re. my blow-up lawn Santa, but Tom hasn't responded to it. Perhaps he thinks it wouldn't fit in his pod. TOM! Silliiiieeee!! It DEFLATES! Takes up no room whatsoever!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:o

Half-nekkid man alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm minding my own business, taking out the trash cans. Down the street, at the very end, is a distinctly slow-ambling male, clad only in thin pajama bottoms. No shirt. Or, I think to myself - - is it a flesh-coloUred shirt? I stare and stare. He's less than 1/4 mile away.

Well, I simply can't take it - I've discerned he's got no shirt on (not normal folks, even when it's 110 in summer). I jump in the car, and take a spin around the block.

Yup, he's got no shirt on, a shaved head, a ghostly palloUr, and is clutching his abdomen. His eyes meet mine, they are steely gray, adn DON"T WORRY EVERYBODY, I can do a police sketch if necessary. ;)

So.....I see that there is nothign further I can do....and go back home.

Soon, he is walkign AGAIN around the block.....shufflign very slowly - and is in front of my house. I whip out my camera, but alas, to take his photo, would have had to move the blinds and he would have heard me as window is open.

But - I was able to discern that he has a large bandage on his abdomen, indicating recent surgery - OR A STAB WOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o or maybe a GUNSHOT!!!!!!!!! (alas, no bandage or scar in rear, indicating bullet egress - - but then again, perhpas it is lodged in his SPLEEN or something, and hence the ashy paloUr) :huh:

but tell me this - what man in his fifties walks around, half-clad in cooler weather, who's just had surgery, in THIS gated, stepford, Aryan community? Has he LOST his MIND???

stay tuned.

I am out of my MIND for things like this. :lol:

Sarah,

What a story! I'm so happy to hear that gluten may be the problem. It's funny, isn't it...sometimes in the frustration of living with this food restriction, we wish the cause of our symptoms could be ANYTHING else! Hearing a story like this allows me to give my head a good shake--my illness can be controlled with a diet change. It ain't cancer!

BTW, I LOVE the name Ezra! It was the second choice on our list of boy names, and Jack won out... :)

      How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went.  I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks.  That helped enormously and once I realised milk and yoghurt was the cause, after a short break I went back to lactose very gradually and felt a lot better.  Now I can tolerate it well. From Coeliac UK "The enzyme lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine. This is why people with coeliac disease can be deficient in lactase at diagnosis. Once established on a gluten free diet, the gut is able to heal and lactose digestion returns to normal. Lactose intolerance is therefore usually temporary." So if this helps your daughter, this doesn't mean you have to give up lactose forever, especially as dairy is such a good source of calcium for growing kids.   Bear in mind you should be able to reintroduce it. As for fatigue, this can be due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies,such as iron, vitamin D and B12.  Were these levels tested?  If not, I would suggest you get them done.  If your daughter is deficient in these, it is vital you address the deficiencies, and get the tests redone in a few months, particularly the iron, because too much can be dangerous.

      Inhaler problem

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth. Riboflavin Targets the Cellular Metabolic and Ribosomal Pathways of Candida albicans In Vitro and Exhibits Efficacy against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36625571/   Thiamine deficiency can make ones voice hoarse and can cause localized edema.  Niacin deficiency can make ones voice hoarse.  (Niacin deficiency and Thiamine deficiency can each cause irritability, agitation, and lability.) Hoarseness in pellagra https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21507655/ Hidden Hunger: A Pellagra Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8152714/   Anesthesia can cause B12 deficiency.  B12 deficiency can show up as mouth sores and geographic tongue, diarrhea, and dementia. Vitamin deficiency, a neglected risk factor for post-anesthesia complications: a systematic review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11823251/ Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/ Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia: A systematic review of cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144777/ The Effect of Vitamin B12 Infusion on Prevention of Nitrous Oxide-induced Homocysteine Increase: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4052402/     Eating a diet that is heavy in carbohydrates can precipitate a thiamine deficiency.  As the amount of carbohydrates consumed increases, additional thiamine is needed, otherwise the carbs will be stored as fat.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/   The deficiency symptoms of some of the B vitamins cause gastrointestinal symptoms that resemble the same symptoms as when being glutened.   Thiamine deficiency can present as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain (Gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Niacin deficiency can present as diarrhea (Pellagra = diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, then death ).  B12 deficiency can present as diarrhea or dementia.  Not everything is caused by hidden gluten.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing foods are. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jnstefan! She should start feeling better within a week or two if she is truly avoiding gluten and if she isn't also showing intolerance to other foods. It is quite common for celiacs to be dairy intolerant (not just the lactose but the protein casein in dairy) and to oats (protein is avenin). Casein and avenin have structures similar to gluten. We call this cross reactivity (not to be confused with cross contamination). So, you might look at pulling these two food items from her diet to see if there is improvement. But achieving a gluten free state is more challenging than people realize when the first start in. It is hidden in so many foods you would never expect to find it in like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, just to site two examples. This might help:

      My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac 2 weeks ago. We've been on gluten free diet now for 2 weeks. She still experiences abdominal pain at times , and is struggling with fatigue. What is everyone's experience with how long it takes for the body to heal and stabilize after starting the gluten free diet? Thanks for any feedback!
