I have 2 boys who need work! They love animals and have more lightbulbs than they can use ( thanks to a FIRST Robotics fundraiser selling lightbulbs)

hm, would they come here? Or do I need to bring the menagerie to your house?

You could bring them here. They would like where you live and want to stay!

The theatre group is having a "Glee Camp" in August. Different age groups. I think I'll sign up for the adult session. I went to the rehearsal for Pirates of Penzance last night. It's gonna be another great show. :)

The Pirates of Penzance! . . ...Hmmm.. . .love this Gilbert and Sullivan romp....

I am trying to think of a suggestion to give to Jack's drama teacher, who runs the incredible musical that the school puts on every year. Next year there will be a BIG bleeding of talent, as most of the kids who get the leads (those who sing and dance like Broadway folk) are now leaving for university. This means that they will now need to take on a musical with a considerably smaller cast number, perhaps with a very small chorus or one that can be greatly reduced. So I guess that would exclude The Pirates of Penzance --ya need all them swashbucklers jumping around.

All right, you musical afficionados.....ideas? Man, where is Sooooozle when you need her? NO ONE paid greater attention to these things than she did.... <_<:lol:

Pirates is actually fun, and tends to attract men as they love being pirates, but yes, someone has to be able to sing...

Maybe the school will find new talents, now that the hams are all gone. :)

I am not really a "regular" silly, but I try to never miss a party so may I also wish you a Happy Birthday as well?

I tried to find one of those birthday-hat wearing, horn- blowing emoticons, but had no luck. Could only find the vomiting emoticon Peter helped me download, but not sure that is appropriate (until later in the evening)

Cheers :)

It happens every time. How cool is that?

I describe it and she finds it and makes it appear!!... She found those happy dancing animals that time and the confetti....

hey! let's try this.

I wish I could find that sexy mocha skinned cabana boy I saw that time in St. John's who runs down the beach yelling Cocktails! Cocktails! and he brings them to you... all melty and they drip down...

oh sorry, IH has been cooped up in the house too long with a bum shoulder. ...okay, gotta go get some air.

oh, I think you can find 'em pretty easily these days. My neighbor "Carlotta" in Bahston had size 12 platform sandals. Now, that "girl" could dance.

Well, I AM silly, granted---but to be a psilly...well.... That's special.

Jumping in on this thread is like coming into the middle of a movie. :lol: :lol: or..like my improv class back in college.

I have no clue what's going on, don't know who all the main characters are, no idea what happened in the first hour and there's no script to follow. :D

You could go back and read all 3000+ pages. After you did that you would be Psilly and cross-eyed!

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      I have the same problem. No matter what I eat, I seem to get a break out every 1 to 2 months. I do not do oats, citrus fruits, apples, onions and other foods also, as those cause reactions. The only time I have zero problems is when I fast. The only staple grain I have is quinoa, as that doesn't seem to cause me issues. I have linked mine to a microbiome imbalance. I am currently on month 3 of Skinesa. It's supposed to take 3 months before seeing results. I guess we'll see.
