Well, Emily, I hate to inform you of this, but you are NOT celebrating a "family day"!!! You are indeed celebrating the US Open Original Shared Link. They probably thought you Canucks might not be inclined to participate if they told you what it really was.

:lol: :lol:

Alex - ugh on the double whammy :(

LOL Emily @ latest av & caption. I've always enjoyed Jess's sig too.

Now .. . ... ..here's an interesting proposition that came my way this morning.

Shelly invited me to go to Tahoe toMORRow for a couple days! :o

Her 9yo is all into snowboarding and she has access to a cabin.

Wish I was feeling more travel-worthy :( but I'm ~30% right now on going.

If I were anywhere near as consistently great as the 1st 4 months soy-free I'd go, no question.

Another plus is that I might also spend Tues/Wed in Fernley NV w/ Teresa (old girlfriend) & Nic&Nat. (For the newer sillies, I've known both kids well since birth & love 'em dearly. :wub: Their father's never been a part of their lives)

This sidetrip would mean taking my car separately, but since Shell's talking about leaving @6am tomorrow, that's not such a bad thing. ;)

So I really gots me some ponderin' to do!

Well, Tom, I say go, as long as you have your phone with you at all times so that you can be checking up on Michelle. :lol::lol::rolleyes:

Actually, you will be away and distracted from her crossing of the finish line, likely late Wednesday. Me, however, with next to no life, will have no conflicts here...I will be watching obsessively. :rolleyes:

President's Day, huh? We have no Prime Ministerial Day here, so you must be correct, Janet. "Family Day" sounds so middle-of-the-road, politically correct, sappy....so Canadian.... :lol::ph34r:

Hey .. . .no poop-in from dingoland today? :huh:

Does this mean Dingy was out up past 3am??

I bring this up because I'm about to say .. . . .the Green Phaerie is in the house!!!!!!! :lol::wacko::lol:

Couldn't find the local one anywhere, so instead of driving up to Alameda (next to Oakland) to buy strrrrrrrrrrraight from the distillery, we got the Swiss Absinthe. (see new av) :wacko:

I have strep throat and an ear infection-- boooo :angry: . It came on very quickly. Started antibiotics today so I should be feeling better soon. I was throwing up last night and I was thinking how unfair it is to puke when you have a sore throat. A painful combination <_< .

Yikes!!! NO fun at all. I've had one after the other before but not at the same time! Feel better soon!

Just had to share with you all, thanks for all your support today.

Sounds like a great shoot!! Can't wait to see the final results!

I shall email BIL and tell him about the virtual following of Michelle. She actually is quite an underdog (pun intended)...Some illness/injury during last year, of her and her lead dog, plus being female, no one expected much to be happening with her for this race. In fact, her being in it at all caused many seasoned mushers to raise eyebrows. LOVE IT!! You go, grrrrrrrrlll! :)

Okay, I just may have to check this out...sounds VERY exciting!

So why do cats look like aliens when wet?? :unsure::lol:

Anyhoo - he smells great and his fur is lovely and soft now ;)

:lol: Do you do your kitties fur up like AMy's... :lol:

Now .. . ... ..here's an interesting proposition that came my way this morning.

Go! The fact that you can even consider going after how sick you were is pretty amazing really!

Still wanna be there with me? :lol: Ya gotta be screaming right along with me..... :D;)

I'm not Ptaum, but sure DOES sound like fun. :lol:

I'd lean towards going--and I can completely relate to why you are hesitating ;) Since you'll have your own car, it'll make it easier to stop if you need to, etc. I bet you end up having a good time :)

Who will provide the summary please :P?

Gawd--where to start..... :blink::lol:

I've always been very curious to know what it tastes like..you'll have to describe it!

Absinthe........Hmmmmmmmm.

How about this as the new budgie's name? He's the green that I would picture absinthe to be....it has kind of a lovely sound. I like it. The kids will probably pull another one of these, however:

Hi Sillies!

Had a great day shopping with mom. We always have such a special time together. Sabrina is doing good. She has this jumperoo and she goes to town in it. We visited my sister and my niece. It was just an all around great day.

Frosty morning here, as well...Gus is out rolling in the snow like a real circus performer: pouncing on some imaginary thing with both front legs straight and extended, then crashing onto his side and flipping back and forth, snow flying everywhere. Methinks he is trying to make a dog angel. :lol:

OMG- are you all talking about the IDIOTarod? Is Michelle using poodles? Snoodles (snowy poodles)? Pekinese? Chihuahuas? OMG- imagine like 50 chihuahuas pulling an Iditarod sled- It would sound like this:

"Yip Yip Yip!"

"Mush!"

Let Angus pull a sled and he'd sound like Chewbacca! Wish we could download audio or videos here because when he talks he sounds like a Wookie!

I do believe my brain is returning and I can ASSure you, nothing good can come from it! MOO HOO AHH ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!

Susie violated the rules of her contract by not reporting in yesterday and will be subject to a SEVERE punishment (like being licked to death by 10 Chinese crested dogs). :rolleyes::lol::o

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you - that makes perfect sense and I understand. celiac disease is an autoimmune disease which will cause further damage while gluten sensitivity is different. Based on my symptoms and bloodwork, I am almost certain I have celiac disease.  I kind of hate to hope for a positive biopsy but a negative one would be frustrating for sure. Regardless, I have done a lot of research on gluten-free diet and am prepared to begin a new lifestyle journey - with a lot of questions along the way.  I appreciate your information and advice!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      Let's talk about terminology for the sake eliminating (as much as possible) confusion. Unfortunately, the terms "gluten sensitive" and "gluten intolerant" have, historically, been used indiscriminately. There are two primary categories of gluten disorders whose "official" terms are 1. celiac disease and 2. Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short.  I believe there is an evolution toward using the term "gluten intolerance" to refer to celiac disease and "gluten sensitive" to refer to NCGS. I say that because the words "gluten sensitivity" are actually found in the official medical term for the non celiac medical disorder involving gluten. Does that make sense? The difference between celiac disease and NCGS is that celiac disease causes inflammation in the small bowel lining and (over time) does damage to it so that it becomes inefficient in absorbing nutrients from what we eat. This is the area of the intestinal track where all of our nutrients are absorbed. Of course, this can lead to any number of other medical problems. NCGS, on the other hand, does not cause inflammation or damage to the lining of the small bowel and therefore does not produce the antibodies that celiac disease antibody tests look for. Neither will NCGS, therefore, produce a positive biopsy result. NCGS and celiac disease, however share many of the same symptoms in the area of GI distress and NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is, at the present time, no defining test for NCGS so an NCGS diagnosis is arrived at by first eliminating celiac disease for which we do have tests for. Having said that, some experts believe that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.  Yes, you are correct in stating that both conditions require a gluten free diet.  So, in the absence of official testing for celiac disease (and official testing done under the proper conditions) a person who is experiencing distress when consuming gluten cannot be certain whether they are dealing with celiac disease or NCGS. Not to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease while actually having the condition makes it difficult for some folks to stay on the gluten free bandwagon. It's just the psychology of the situation and wanting to rationalize away a very inconvenient and socially isolating medical condition.

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you!  This is super helpful and confirms everything I have read. I was definitely eating lots of gluten before both testing and endoscopy. If the biopsies do come back negative, I'm wondering how conclusion/distinction is made between celiac and gluten intolerance is made.  Or does it matter because presumably recommendation of gluten-free diet will be the protocol??

      Weak positive blood test and marsh type 1

      By trents · Posted

      You are welcome! We frequently get similar comments. Knowledge about celiac disease in the medical community at large is, unfortunately, still significantly lacking. Sometimes docs give what are obviously bum steers or just fail to give any steering at all and leave their patients just hanging out there on a limb. GI docs seem to have better knowledge but typically fail to be helpful when it comes to things like assisting their patients in grasping how to get started on gluten free eating. The other thing that, to me at least, seems to be coming to the forefront are the "tweener" cases where someone seems to be on the cusp of developing celiac disease but kind of crossing back and forth over that line. Their testing is inconsistent and inconclusive and their symptoms may come and go. We like to think in definite categorical terms but real life isn't always that way.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      Hey @Morgan Tiernan, Sounds just like my experience. I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis over 10 years ago. It appeared suddenly as a very itchy rash which looked like Eczema. When a steroid cream didn't clear it up, my Dermatologist (who had come across it before) suspected dermatitis herpetiformis and performed a skin biopsy which came back positive for dermatitis herpetiformis. The important thing is to get a definitive diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis. What you've described sounds like classic dermatitis herpetiformis though. Hopefully, your Dermatologist has come across dermatitis herpetiformis before and performs the skin biopsy correctly as trents mentioned. I've had the blisters on the knees, hips, forearms/elbows or anywhere that pressure is applied to the skin ... from clothing or otherwise. They itch like nothing on earth, and yes salt from sweat or soaps/shower gels will irritate a lot. I've been on Dapsone and it is very very effective at eliminating the dermatitis herpetiformis itch, and improved my quality of life in the early stages of getting on top of dermatitis herpetiformis while I adjusted to the gluten-free diet. But it does have various side effects as trents said. It can effect the red blood cells, lowering hemoglobin and can cause anemia, and requires regular blood monitoring whilst on it. You would need to consider it carefully with your Dermatologist if you do have dermatitis herpetiformis. Here's a very informative webinar from Coeliac Canada discussing everything dermatitis herpetiformis related.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAdmsNiyfOw I've also found this recent interview with a Dermatologist about dermatitis herpetiformis to be educational.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZnLeKutgUY Keep the chin up and keep advocating for yourself for a proper diagnosis. Though it sounds like you're on top of that already. Are you in the UK or Ireland? I'm curious because your surname is Irish.
