YaY Alex and Congrats!!!! Now don't you be telling us too much about the wedding night . . . you know how easily we're shocked and don't like to share information about ourselves!!!!

I'll be the first 'merican to ask . . . What is May 2-4? Some sort of drinking holiday? Get drunk then set off fireworks?? Sounds like a grand plan.

Mrs. Alex somethin' is back!!!!!!!! :) :)

Glad your day was that great. :)

Congrats!

So . . . I'm a righty with straight hair and I do like math. Spelling on the other hand has always been my nemesis.

Oh sure .. . .as she correctly spells nemisis nemesis.

One more in the Math column!! :D

And if I'm not back before the weekend, happy May 2-4 to my fellow Canadian sillies. Since we're all diabetic I guess none of us will be drinking a 2-4. Either of you doing fireworks?

Now THIS I gotta hear more about!!

It's a drink? A day? Not the 2nd thru the 4th? The 24th? No .. .that's not this wkend .. ... :confuzzledface:

Every holiday up here is a drinking holiday! The grandest of plans, to be sure..... :lol:B)

We celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday on the third Monday In May, and it makes up a three-day weekend. We call our cases of 24 beers a two-four, and this weekend is May two-four, even though there is no connection to beer, and it rarely falls on May 24th. Yeah I know.....Only in Canada...... :rolleyes::lol:

Jack's next query is most interesting: He wants to know who the most interesting character is when you google your own name.

Nothing too exciting when I google my name....a realtor, an author, an employee suing Pepsi. When I google my birth name I get a musician and an artist who does mostly silly cats. Now those are people I can relate to :D

When my mom was choosing a name for me before I was born, she liked the name of the Playboy centerfold :P for January of the year I was born. She had never before seen the name LISA. The only Lisa's I have met have been younger than me.

(wondering how old I am aren'tcha?)

So many funnies over the last few pages I have missed..I wanted to reply to it all, but was busted for too many quote blocks and then lost it all, POOP :(

Congratulations to Alex, sounds like you had a lovely day!

Tom and Susie sorry about your struggles and Laura on the new med, you guys must feel better soon!!!! And no Bev sighting?? I am afraid that means she isn't feeling so good either :(

I just got my allergy test results back and I'll have to totally change up my Edna :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Oh, and I googled my name, the most exciting thing that came up was a character in a mystery novel :lol:

on a serious note.............Sillies, I don't think my Effexor is working at all. :( wondering if I should switch.......

I know I'm new around here, but how long have you been on Effexor? My DD used to be on that....and several others at different times. Many of the ones she tried worked at first, but after a while became ineffective. She hated to keep changing and was sure nothing would ever work. She's been doing really well for over a year, but I don't know what it is she's been on. I'll have to ask.

BTW, what kind of jewelry do you make?

Morning Sillies....boy did the board have some spam last night!

Morning, Sillies!

I went walking in a big, overgrown expanse of field near our house last night, and there is an active train track at one end. Trains rarely come by - - it's usually at night and we'll hear it's long, plaintive whistle (there is nothing like that sound) and the engine rumbling quietly....Anyways, last night I heard it coming in the distance. Well, you should have seen Elsie! I thought she would be terrified, as she is shy and gentle, but the train began to chug by in the distance and her ears perked up, she stared, and was gone! Racing full kilter after it like it was a huge metal rabbit. After I stopped laughing, and regarded Gus who was trotting happily in her wake, saying to himself, "for Gawd's sake...it's a bloody train! Save this for a groundhog", I yelled at her to come back, which she did. Promptly. Too phunny.... :D

I Googled my name, and came up empty :huh:

Patti! I'm so disappointed for you! By all means, take one of Ptaoughmn's...did he have any circus performers in his list? :lol:

Instead, all the little stuffed animals, have beds, pillows, covers, capes, scarves, tents, you name it, they've got it and its made out of Kleenex!!!

on a serious note.............Sillies, I don't think my Effexor is working at all. :( wondering if I should switch.......but you know something? I loathe the idea of going to dr. to ask for something else, admitting defeat, thereby admitting that the gluten-free diet is NOT the complete cure for depression, as I have declared it is.....

but my thoughts and brain are so awful and dark, and I feel completely hollowed-out and dull beyond belief. :(

Susie, what dose are you on now? I was on 75 mg daily, and as you know I recently had to increase it. I'm at 150 mg daily now, and feeling much better. I had been on 150 before, and eventually dropped it down. I had been at 75 for about a year and a half.

I definitely think these things have to be adjusted every so often, whether it be dosage or trying something new!!!

Gotta run for now, but I'm going to Google myself later. (That almost sounds dirty.)

Janet.....this calls for some heartless but necessary action. You're gonna have to use one of the capes....

Amanda! You are about to make what perhaps could be judged a big flipover (4500)....Perhaps we get skin irritations at the smaller flipovers once we get high enough, and the fluid deluges at the thousand-marks. Susie, did you hit a 500-flipover when you went to the cabin? These rules could change throughout the duration of this thread, so we must be ready. Perhaps King Peter has been briefed on such matters....

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Hi again - I received the biopsy results but haven't had follow up appointment with Dr. yet.  Wondering if you could comment on this: "Duodenum, random, Biopsy (Cold Forceps): MILD VILLOUS BLUNTING WITH PROMINENT INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, CONSISTENT WITH SPRUE (MARSH TYPE 3A). See Comment. Negative for Infectious Organisms, Dysplasia or Malignancy. COMMENT: While characteristic, the histologic findings are not diagnostic for gluten-sensitive enteropathy / celiac disease. A number of additional entities can enter into the differential diagnosis of celiac disease based on the histologic features, including tropical sprue, bacterial overgrowth / stasis, unclassified sprue, specific food allergies, many drugs including NSAIDs, olmesartan and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a wide range of autoimmune diseases including adult-onset autoimmune enteropathy, diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus and multiple sclerosis and occasionally common variable immune deficiency. History of drug take, celiac serologies, HLA-DQ status and response to a gluten-free diet might be a key for a definitive diagnosis" They say "consistent with Sprue (Marsh Type 3A)" and then comment that the findings are not diagnostic for celiac disease.  I thought Marsh type 3 was conclusive (and I know that 3A is the best outcome as it relates to intestinal damage). Is this just normal caveat language or am I missing something?  I had appt scheduled for tomorrow but Dr. is sick and now rescheduled to over a week from now.  Appreciate any insight you can offer in the mean time.  Thanks!!
