Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

:lol: :lol: :lol: why, it most certainly does! See, we TOLD you!!!!!!!!! :P

Well, I did. It is a small lot, four spaces in all, perpendicular to the front wall. Five lines to paint using a roller on a long handle. The whole exercise, including watching it dry, took less than two hours.

:lol: watching it dry = phunny

It is a step in the right direction, and certainly less fuss than an overflowing toilet.

:lol: indeed.....

Emily - NO!!!! 'Tis NOT a good thing Susie has chips!!!!!!!!! :o it's totally heinous, and I'm gonna pay for it tomorrow, I'm pretty sure. Egregious craving took over and.........I am not pleased. :ph34r:

Well Lisa, let the cute-off begin!!!!!!!!!! My Lemon Squeezee is....is.....incomprehensibly adorable....that pose in my av? She does it nearly every morning, when she's just come in from going potty......plops down on the carpet in front of me, rolls onto her back, and does the wiggly self-spa treatment. :lol: The cuteness of it can stop one dead in one's tracks - positively no one is immune to is - and 'tis only so I"ll stop and scratch her belly. :P

Susie, at least you escaped the nuggets...

:blink: I know but..........are not chips even MORE egregious and injurious? :unsure:

OMG - I am trying to barbecue and don't know what in hell I'm doing. :lol: Do I leave the lid up, or down? which side does the meat go - fat up or down ('tis that most California cut known as tri-tip)....and - when do I flip it over? how long does it stay on? how do you know when it's done???????? :unsure::lol: :lol:

It's for the mens, really......I have no business doing this.

Also I have just cut the back of my own hair. :ph34r: Another thing I have no business doing. :lol:

I WANT NUGGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you googled asapap [asap after posting]

How'd it turn out?

It's ALWAYS soooooooooooo good every time I've had it.

I remember being entirely flabbergasted at 1st tri-tip w/ the thought "how can I have not even HEARD of this????"

Also I have just cut the back of my own hair. :ph34r: Another thing I have no business doing. :lol:

Let's see what else belongs on that list.

Morning, Amanda et al!

Glorious morning, here...bright sun, dew sparkling on our lawn, the second round of tulips bursting forth....

And now TWO dogs staring at me to go walkies....

I am going for a run with them both today on the trails, so we'll see how things go. Elsie had one accident sometime last night - - peed right by Gus's bed (significant?), so I'll keep an eye on her. May have to monitor/ration her water somewhat at first.....

Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

YYYYYYYEEESSSSSS!!

Lisa's in!

/||||||||\

Janet! That is an incredible font rendering....you may just well be a frustrated artist, and have missed your calling. Those are SO crooked banglike!!!! :D

Never heard of Tri-tip! Want some.....

How do you guys feel about Canadian (or peameal) Bacon? Mmmmmmmmmm...... :wub:

Morning Sillies!!! Beautimous day here today. I'm hoping to get some landscaping work done today . . . after a meeting and some errands.

Elsie had one accident sometime last night - - peed right by Gus's bed (significant?), so I'll keep an eye on her. May have to monitor/ration her water somewhat at first.....

Perhaps just rationing it close to bedtime . . .

Location does seem a little telling, eh?

Well Canadian Bacon sounds a LOT better than Peameal Bacon . . . we like it on pizza.

I like to chat about bizarre things. One time the doc told me all about how to clean a dog's anal glands (swear to god). That's the only part of the day I remember.

Maybe you could bring up the glue question.

Or ask about the roll of TLRs in inflammation.

One time (after I had assumed the position) my doc said "Now let your knees fall naturally apart". And my response was "On this day, they don't do that!!"

Finally the truth comes out:

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.

5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.

8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:

1. No sale of bread to minors.

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.

3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.

4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.

5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

What an interesting coincidence.

I had my yearly physical yesterday morning, and the doctor and I were discussing this as we prepared for the male-specific unpleasant event: digital rectal prostate examination.

She said that she thought it (the rectal probe) was not as bad as a pap smear. I think this is one of those great questions in life that will never be properly answered. I mean, it's not like we can find a panel of subjects who have had both experiences. :unsure:

Yes, you may want to monitor Elsie's water consumption in the evening. The location of the accident may or may not have any significance.

It is a beautiful sunny day here. :)

Just got done talking to my best friend K. (tis the one and same that you met, Bev). She told me that for Mother's Day, her daughter bought her a gluten-free cook book because . . . said to her by her daughter . . . "you liked all those things that Janet cooked, I thought you might want to learn how to do it, too." :D:D

Amanda--Did they put him on antibiotics in the meantime? If they did, once they kick in, the pain should greatly diminish. Hope he feels better soon :)

OK . . . True Story . . . and I am in no way recommending this . . .

My cousin had an infected tooth that needed to be pulled. The dentist put him on an antibiotic and told him to come back in ?? weeks. He went back to work (he was working as a supervisor in a diesel engine (semi-trucks) garage) and took a pair of channel locks and pulled out his own tooth. With the tooth comes a handful of puss and blood. Two employees were watching. One passed out and the other threw up.

OK . . . He's the one that I heard the story from . . . I guess he could have made the whole thing up . . . but I tend to believe him . . . It's the kind of thing he would do.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!

Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Positive biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.
