Oh, Nikki...sorry you're ill. :( It's only man flu if you whine and complain like a baby. ;)

Really?? Well I never ;) complain so *blows nose* it MUST be an authentic illness !!! *wrapping blanket a little tighter*

Does that mean that you've already got you Christmas stuff down, Sarah?

Tis unlucky to take it down before the 6th Jan!! (the twelve days of christmas an' all that)

And shame on me....I bought another box of the chocolate gummi bears yesterday.....I hid them though after I had a few...

No problem!!....diets don't start until next week ;)

Mornin all!

I was just catching up on all the Sillie news I missed yesterday.....My son and his girlfriend came from NJ, and we all had such a nice day. And yes, there was wine involved :D I'm a fiend :PB)

Our Sarah is back! Stupid Christmas glutenings :angry:

Bevvie wevvie!!! :D

Nikki--you poor thing :( The flu is awful--I hope it doesn't last long....take care, get lots of rest and don't forget the chicken soup ;)

I also need to go on a diet--way too much candy and cookies as of late--and all this talk of marshmallows, caramel and toffee is not helping :lol: M-m-m...toffee.....

Love The Sound of Music! If I had to choose, I would say "My Favorite Things" is my favorite song from it, but all of the music was so good.

I have to say, though, that I can't wait for Desparate Housewives to come back.....

Peter is our sillie oracle---that struck me as so funny. "oracle" :lol:

I bet that was nice, get to show the house off :)

I spent Saturday with my mom at her house. It was a lot of fun. I exchanged gifts with everyone and got to play with Sabrina. I bought her this Playskool walker/riding toy. She enjoyed the box more than anything. It was an exhausting day though, since I drove 2 hrs to get there and 2 back...by 10 that night I was out. I slept through John watching the patriots/NYG game....darn! LOL :)

Good Morning Emily!

How are you on the last day of 2007?

Well, I just went and executed one of the toughest workouts in years. Pushed myself VERY hard on the treadmill, flames coming off my runners, etc., as damage control. I am not weighing myself...not until next week...or perhaps the week after.. :rolleyes:

Tis unlucky to take it down before the 6th Jan!! (the twelve days of christmas an' all that)

Oh!...Bring on the bad luck...Cannot stand looking at the suff anymore. It's COMIN' DOWN TODAY!!

Love The Sound of Music! If I had to choose, I would say "My Favorite Things" is my favorite song from it, but all of the music was so good.

Yes, I think I'm the only one on the planet who just cannot manage to appreciate all of the SOM score. Now, if we're gonna talk about unforgettable performances and music that is in a class by itself, THIS gets me every time:

Amanda - cute new Av - and excellent captionizing . . . ain't it the truth.

She actually spent Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the following day with her biological mom...and when my mom picked her back up at Child Services on Thursday, she found out the baby hadn't had a change of clothes the entire time she was "home" My mom peered in the diaper bag at all the clean clothes she sent, it was obvious none had ever been touched. Then the one pair of pajamas that she must have worn her whole visit, were literally pitch black....eww! My mom dunked her in the bath tub the minute she got her home.

So after my rant...sorry had to get that off my chest. So I saw her and we all gave her presents on Saturday. She is such a pleasant baby...she has been in the system since birth...her mom has supposedly done almost everything that she needs in order to get her child back. But when the baby's father comes along (mom's boyfriend) she forgets about the baby...even leaving it alone for hours...and now the baby comes back to us dirty. So I guess if the mom screws up again the baby will go for adoption. So in my eyes, why not allow her to keep screwing up and let the baby go to a family who wants her....an adoptive home. The system will keep delaying it and delaying it and by the time she is ready for adoption she could be 3 or 4...if not older and than her chances of getting adopted get smaller and smaller...people want babies. I know some people need those chances to prove themselves but look at the best interest of the kid....give her half the chance to have a great life....

Sorry for the rant.

That was so good--I love musicals! :D

My favorites are "My Fair Lady" and "The Music Man"--I saw the latter twice on broadway during it's run a few years ago. We were there for Craig Bierko's last performance, a Sunday matinee--I'll never forget it.

Nothing beats the original movie, though--this just mkes me happy--

Silvia and Sabrina are only a month apart so that is like having built in playmates too, when Silvia comes to visit twice a week.

OMG - how evil - did you know that See's candy has been doing this exact thing for years? 'tis my favorite thing in the store........PURE EVIL!!!!!!!!!

I made homemade marshmallows last night...enjoying them in my coffee now (um, they ARE to be given away).......I guess my no-sugar rule has not gone into effect yet..... :ph34r:

So do I !!!!

(Susie doesn't .. :lol: )

Back to bed....

you guys WON"T believe this....I LOVE Sound of Music!!!!!!!!! :lol: watched it last night, as a matter of fact, for the bazillionth time......there ARE a handful of musicals I do love - mostly from childhood - until I became a cranky-ass jaded adult. :lol:

Christopher Plummer is DELICIOUS in that role...............

NIKKI!!!!!! Man flu!!!!!!!! oh so sorry little kitten, make the boys wait on YOU today!!!!!!!

Oh, Nikki...sorry you're ill. :( It's only man flu if you whine and complain like a baby. ;)

Seems a little early for gardening. Does that mean that you've already got you Christmas stuff down, Sarah? And has anybody heard if the special adhesive garland (ie, duct tape) was all that Alex needed to finish off her tree?

hmm......what DID ever become of Alex's evil tree? :lol:

I want to PUNISH her stupid crack-wh_ _ _ mother....... (insert angry-faced emoticon)

Mornin' all. And happy almost (or current?) New Year.

I, um, own all the musicals mentioned so if anyone plans to torture Susie I would suggest kidnap and park her in front of my TV with some heinous musical playing :ph34r:

And maybe Peter can explain to me why my cat feels like knocking me over in the kitchen is the best way to convince me he deserves treats...

Somehow, I missed this....that's horrible :( I have to say I agree with everything Susie said on the subject of the mom. I will keep a good thought for little Sabrina :)

Happy New Year to all the sillies!

And to you too, Donna!

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      diagnostic testing variance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
