Morning, Amanda et al!!

yes, I agree...this week has crept along......

I bumped into this article on North America's earliest humans, pre-dating Clovis by 1000 yrs. Open Original Shared Link

This cracked me up:

"To make sure the Oregon cave material hadn't been contaminated with modern DNA, the researchers tested more than 50 people who worked at the site. The DNA testing indicated that the feces belonged to Native Americans in two groups that can be traced to Siberia and East Asia."

"Awright!!! Which archeologist crapped in the cave?? Earl?? AGAIN???"

I read this article in our paper this morning... :lol::lol:

'T'would indeed be interesting to meet the individuals who would knowingly (or not knowingly) compromise these findings by pooping within their work site. Mygawd....that would be like me pooping in the Embassy boardrooms.... :o:lol:

Busted. :ph34r: I actually DO sing in public, randomly, just outbursts here and there. Ask Kissey.

Susie....it is actually fortunate that we are not great friends within close geographic distance of one another, for I do this as well. Imagine the two of us, bursting into song together whilst out doing errands? :lol::lol:

......AND!!....can you believe we all got Patti'd?!?!?!?

....I am SHOCKED at the sheer subterfuge...(you gotta watch that Patti )

:lol::lol:

Our new verb...To Patti..... :lol:

Yes, I agree...must watch our Patti....still waters can run awfully deep..... ;):lol:

Hey Jess, little favor to ask . .. .short article and I can't tell if it might again be total bs.

Seems to claim leaky-gut can CAUSE depression. I can see correlation but for causality I'd have to know what all those words MEAN!!

I don't know where Scott finds these people to write articles. In the first paragraph the guy misleads you. I didn't read the whole original article, just the abstract, but in it the authors clearly state "It is suggested that the increased LPS translocation may mount an immune response and thus IRS activation in some patients with MDD and may induce specific "sickness behaviour" symptoms."

so IF you already have major depression, a leaky gut may lead to an inflammatory response (I would bet that it does) and could make you feel worse.

I know I'm lot less happy when I feel sick. I don't know why that wouldn't be true for everyone.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: As always, the poop jokes have me in hysterics!!!

Now that sounds like my kind of alarm clock....30 MIN SNOOZE!!!....perfect!!

Every alarm clock I have ever owned has had a 9 min snooze <_< .....why 9 mins???

Actually, my alarm clock is 9 minutes, too. I just hit it about 3 times. ;) I have pondered the 9-minute question as well, and have decided it's because it takes an average of 1 minute for that heinous alarm sound to invade a person's sleep. So, combine the 1 minute, plus 9 minutes of snoozing, and there's about 10 minutes between alarms. That's my theory. :P

Welp, it's rainy and chilly here (again) so what am I watching? HAD to pop in The Goonies DVD.

YAY, Amanda and I are MySpace Friends!! Who else has a page?? :lol:

Hi Sillies--

Quick poop in right now....am baking and preparing food for the party. I'm trying to keep calm--have to do laundry and pack. Gawd.

Amanda--it's dreary here, too.

Tom--crapping in the cave...Earl... :lol:

Jess--thanks, I was interested in that leaky gut article, too. :)

Too funny yesterday :lol: Be back later :)

Have a good weekend, I hear the weather will improve for Saturday and Sunday. :)

Ah, but would poop pics strike you the same way, Sarah? I turned the page of our paper just now and saw the remainder of the article on this prehistoric find, and there is a colour pic of the poop. Looks just like modern poop. Some things never change, I guess... :rolleyes:

Hmmm. Yes, why nine minutes? Perhaps it's metric time, er sumfin'...... <_<:rolleyes:

I had to look up "sickness behavior"

People are studying the interaction of inflammatory cytokines and neural-controlled behaviors. (yes, they're studying why you get grumpy when your sick.)

There's a great review written by some guy who made continual use of his "thesaurus of big words" that says:

"Last but not the least, the activation of this system is certainly responsible for the increased prevalence of mood disorders that is observed in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory disorders including autoimmune diseases, coronary heart disease, and asthma"

So other people have found a statistical connection between chronic illness and increased prevalence of mood disorders. What does this mean? Nothing concrete. It could mean the the genes involved in mood disorders tend to be the same ones involved in chronic illness. It could mean that chronic illness can induce mood disorders in people that have genetic predisposition to mood disorders. It could mean that being sick all the time makes you feel really crappy. It probably does mean that in people that have a mood disorder, having a chronic inflammatory disease could make their mood disorder worse/more difficult to cope with.

I'm more likely to go with this last statement. All of us that had some neuro- mood type effects with gluten, had them go away/diminish with the removal of gluten. But it's also true that some people have no neuro- mood reactions to gluten, so it can't be the only part of the equation.

. .. and you know.....he really should write a small summary on the first page of this thread - -saying - - "just jump to page 200 to see what it's REALLY about" ha ha :lol: wackl

I am in total agreement with our past King, here....mainly because I went back and checked on all of the new top-of-the-pagers. I STILL have no coronation to claim! :rolleyes:<_<:lol:

I've been feeling somewhat....odd today, and a little last night.

It's made my life timeline go off the rails....Cannot remember what day it is...feels much later in the day than it is....don't quite know who this man is that I'm living with....must PM Scott and inform him of how his minor administrative moves remain quite far-reaching.... :lol:

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By MomofGF · Posted

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      By MomofGF · Posted

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
