I've thought about this too. Maybe in person we'd sit there and look at each other like this :huh:

Na--I think the ice would be broken pretty quick :D

Yeah, the first time somebody farted.

Which reminds me, will there be bubble bath in this hot tub?? :P

Well.......as Patti has succinctly pointed out, we won't need it....Particularly if Nikki's there, with her banned substance! :lol:

I think it would be great if we all met. We would laugh for hours. Think about it, we have one thing in common and we started a friendship on the celiac/gluten free thing...look how far we have come. I love having you guys as friends, whenever I have a bad day or I see something about celiac and yeti's and stuff I think about our fun here.

As for the parade, I would really like if we could maybe have Bon Jovi singing on a float....He is very hot!

Since I am doing PR for Wegmans, I have borrowed my other hottie, Danny for our parade too. He says he will bring gluten-free goodies!

Hey!! Reminds me of someone else's Sillyville start - who was it that got a shard of Tostito in her eye despite allegedly-protective eyewear?

Hey everybody, I would like for you to meet Julie . . . she's a loser (of cookbooks)

Susie, I often find myself wondering this. Everyone who's coming to the Mt. Tremblant chalet, best to bring a laptop, and if we're sitting around the crackling fire or lounging in the hot tub, and the laughs just are not coming...well, we simply start typing, and passing our screens to whomever we're posting. If we practise ahead of time, I'm certain we can all make reasonable facsimiles of the emoticons with our own faces. I'll need to work on a few....Gad, dunno how close I can get to this one: ^_^ Or this guy: :wacko:

gahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! :lol:

Yes, laptop on standby in case there's just a room of us, blank-faced and mute :mellow:

(not bloody likely - give just me, for example, two glasses of wine and I cackle madly and my voice escalates - just ask everyone around me )

Think of all the energy that would be saved with all us Celiacs in there together :lol: Wouldn't even need to plug it in B)

But wait. According to our recent Fart Chartage, we seem to have a deArth of flatus in our group. With the exception of nicola, of course, who doth Fart for England. :lol:

I mean, I"ve only had three today....and many days there are ZERO.

We'll need champagne. :lol:

As for the parade, I would really like if we could maybe have Bon Jovi singing on a float....He is very hot!

:wub:

Absolutely. I am not a fan of his music, but I am DEEPLY in love wif him. Major hottie. And BACK OFF girls, he is MINE. :P

Well, you may have missed one or two items.

  • the parade
  • the travels of the Yeti
  • the royal succession that led to our current Queen, Jess
  • Amanda and John's wedding
  • numerous events involving companion animals
  • linguistic differences among the USA, Canada and the UK

OMG, Julie......

You have been warned about me....

Let's see...Did you miss anything?....Don't get me started....

I've learned to stay calm in my welcoming demeanor....

Entrance exam to follow.

Just one initial query: How many times did you pass gas today? Were you ingesting any banned substance(s) to affect this result (Benefibre, psyllium seed, etc.)?

Hey!! Reminds me of someone else's Sillyville start - who was it that got a shard of Tostito in her eye despite allegedly-protective eyewear?

That was Sarah...what a superb entrance... :lol:

Which reminds me, hey Tom, please keep your eyes/ears open for ANY casting calls in San Jose area........I've got free lodging and have simply GOT to do one more important film for my career. :lol:

:lol:

There WAS a casting call a few months ago held at my FAV coffee house - yes, in Willow Glen, across the street from that purveyor of the candy-bar-in-a-cup, Charbucks. (Hey, try it black - tastes burnt ~every time)

Strange train of thought this morning led to ballpark peanuts. If you had a bag of peanuts-in-the-shell and a friend asked "can I have one? I only want one" - discounting those lonely mutant singles - they'd get 'one' but it actually is TWO nuts.

That's my wake-up-fart, avec companion. Do I count it as one or as two?????????????????

Yesterday, I kept wondering if I was truly at zero or do they simply garner no attention?

I'm not sure I can keep a running total, but I'll say I'm at 4 or 5 so far today.

"What a difference a day diet makes"

So there's my 2 scents on the Fart Chart.

Darn210 Enthusiast

A trip down memory lane . . .

(ok, my 1st post in here)

... ;) I am not winking, I have a Tostito in my eye.

-Sarah

First - two Donnas, Now - two Julies . . . another crises!!!

Hey, did you guys miss me?? Had a quick trip to the basement for a short tornado warning. Bad weather rippin' through. We were in the 50's about a half hour ago. Now we're in the high 30's and dropping fast.

Lest we forget, Peter -

Fart Charting is now required by all participants. Edict # 1230298430957290187301298123233, passed by unanimous vote. ;)

:blink: what in hell...........

:lol: :lol:

sometimes, farts are just entirely necessary.......for ex. in the first year of gluten removal, I seemed to be intolerant of flax seeds. Yet, I would still occasionally binge :ph34r: on Trader Joe's Soy Flax Seed Tortilla Chips. (OMG OMG OMG OMG they are SO good - not allowed in my house any more.) So..........next day, there could be an extremely painful, hard, BALL OF GAS in my stomach which DEMANDED to be released (often at that wicked art store where I worked). Hence, that night's emissions were.........mygawd. Like an over-filled tire - quite necessary to release the pressure. :blink:

Yours, Tom, are simply perhaps ancillary in nature, like that second peanut.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I cannot beLEEVE we actually talk about these things/analyze in such great detail, and how much EXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORBItant pleasure I derive.........

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

....and people still want to join us?

*snort*

(only the truly mad, to be sure)

Yes - Sarah's Tostito entrance was MARVELOUS :lol:

I am going to send.......well, I WOULD send Annie after her, but she won't go alone........ (gawd, we miss Tika :( )

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! A "quick trip" to the basement? How do you know when it's safe to emerge? :o

What did you guys do down there? games, snacks, WHAT?

And BTW - those other Donnas and Colleen.....they are back in their makeup cult. I don't think Mango's letting them out any more. :ph34r:

:lol: (a loud guffaw & cackles until I needed to breathe!!) :lol:

Hmmmmm Susie's Mr. Carrot .. . .. . .before my time, but ... ...<ack should I tell this tale at all??????> it reminds me of a college roommate's girlfriend and my being thankful at not having dinner w/ them one particular night. (Oh NO!!! What if these things happened often!!?)

Anway <ewww> I was told that <ewww> a cucumber she'd used uhhhhhh <ewwww> recreationally was later used in the salad!!! EWWWWWWWWW!!

LOL Emily @ facial emoti-contortions!!!!

Oh!! Jooooo-lee, you must be prepared to answer to any and all foe-neddik spellin's of your gneighm. :D:P

~alex~ Explorer

All of this wedding parade talk is exciting! Much more fun than planning an actual wedding I think. :lol:

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and my mind swirling with guest list issues. Ack. I want a wedding planner! It seems so much more real now that we set a date. Is it weird to only have a maid of honour and a best man and no others in the wedding party? So many things to figure out!

Yes, between Mango and Colleen's wicked boss, we have seen her in ages and as far as Donna#2 goes . . . Emily, what did you do?

Not to worry basement is decked out. We watched the news (weather radar) and then the kids started playing with their Wii (not to be confused with their wee).

Welcome Julie- you haven't missed a (sane) thing at all! You can jump right in

We've booked a HUGE, rustic, lovely chalet/condo for our skiing/falling trip in the Laurentians. There is room for twelve in this place, and we'll be nine total, so a bunch of you can come and crash on the couches. Huge, outdoor hot tub, games room with pool table, huge stone fireplace, 50" satellite TV, enormous kitchen, four baths.....

I'm coming too!!!!!!!!!!! But don't tell the aliens. They might follow me :ph34r: I showed it to my nurse today and she said it's clearly self-inflicted which makes me wonder....are we so attached that when Patti's itchy, do I scratch? When Nikki farts, do I excuse myself? :lol:

OMG - mammogram today. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smash my poor, wee boobies into metal places........... :blink: Egregious, as we all know.

Ugh! The gramming of the mammies!!!!!!!

Our hospital has issued an internal disaster meaning that due to a large volume of accident victims and trauma's coming in our ER needs help. So traumas are coming from other hospitals, we are a level 3 trauma center so we can get the worst of the worst. So they are triaging in the hall and stuff down that way...its a zoo!

Amanda- Hope you survived the day. :wub:

Yup, sure we believe you, Ms. Machine Gun :P

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Can someone American vote for him please???.....is he into politics??? :D

OMG- Uncle ray for president!!!!!!!!!!!

And when you pass gas for England by all means curtsey at the end too...and remember to excuse your bum! Be polite about it LOL

Gah!

      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?
    • Cathijean90
      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?

      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.
    • KDeL
      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.
