That is an incredible amount of sugar in one place!

But, is it gluten-free? Inquiring minds want to know.

I get ill just thinking about it......and I'm not a diabetic! :P

Hello Sillies- I somehow went into hiding :huh:<_< Hmm...twas a long weekend here and there was Much Ado. Saturday was my BIL's birthday so everyone came over for barbequebusness and birthday cake. Then we had friends over Sunday for more grilling and yesterday was my niece's 6th birthday......busy, busy, busy.

I read a bit to catch up- sorry about all the injuries, perfumings, blisters, premenstrual nastiness and all other things.

I ain't got no silly in me. My one year anniversary of starting antibiotics is next week and I still feel Lymey. Thought it would be over by now :( .

OK- I do have some phunny in me..........have you guys seen Open Original Shared Link on Flickr? Oh...funny stuff!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of my favorites:

Ok- Found some funnies:

First Cut is the Deepest

Once upon a time, two little boys, Sammy and Tim, were sharing a room in the hospital. As they were getting to know each other a little bit, Sammy eventually asked Tim, "Hey, what're you in for?"

"I'm getting my tonsils out. I'm a little worried," said Tim.

"Oh, don't worry about it," Sammy said. "I had my tonsils out and it was a blast! I got to eat all the ice cream and Jell-O I wanted for two weeks!"

"Oh yeah?'' replied Tim. "That's not half-bad. So, Sammy, how about you? What're you here for?"

"I'm getting a circumcision, whatever that is," Sammy answered.

"Oh my god, circumcision? I got one of those when I was a baby and I couldn't walk for two years!"

or.....

Let's Talk

A guy was seated next to a 10-year-old girl on an airplane. Being bored, he turned to the girl and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The girl, who was reading a book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, "What would you like to talk about?"

Oh, I don't know," said the guy. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff... grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

The guy thought about it and said, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the girl replied, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know sh@*t?"

Hi, Julie and Bev! :):)

We were just wondering aloud about both of you last night...funny how it's so obvious when there's a silly or two missing for a couple of pages. Your absences are felt.....

Julie, it's been more than a couple of pages for you! Glad to hear you are okay...

Bev! A year on antibiotics? Man......Big Pharma luuurrrrves you, I'm afraid..... :(

Jess! How are Lefty, Max and Lyle, the Three Cabalieros?

You MUST try Bacardi Breezers (can you get them in the US?)

White rum mixed with fruit juice and sparkling water :P

No laboUr

Pleasant buzz

Um.......do we have those here? I want some! :P

Did you see "The Worst Summer Cocktail"? They said it is Pina Colata, but that the mo-hee-to is a much better choice! Thought that would be some good news for the Kisseys :D

:D Yes, good news for the Kisseys......they were mighty tasty last night! But 'twill be an infrequent treat, too much laboUr for so fleeting a pleasure..... :lol:

:lol: Indeed, and makes me wonder, are they in cahoots w/ Mr. Chow, somehow? Some sort of meditative tai chi?

BEV!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good funnies and - sounds like you are plum wore out from your weekend.... one year on abx?? :( this is heinous.......can't be long now, can it? You WILL be better soon!!!!!!!!!!! :)

and there's Julie.........oh honey - - knew you weren't well when we didn't see you for a while.....glad you're out of it now and you've come to play.

OMG that sugar drink - - could throw up just thinking about it :blink:

And speaking of sugar - Em and Peter - - my first cousin is a very severe diabetic (also w/ Crohn's, hashimoto's, and very definitely Celiac but won't remove gluten <_< ) anywho, Jean Marie has been severely afflicted w/ diabetes since - her teens, maybe? eats TONS of sugar, and just uses more insulin. what in hell? has an insulin pump on her body. Um, this girl has almost lost her foot from gangenous diabetic atrophy of some kind.....just nearly died of kidney failure...has gone into horrible near-diabetic comas and in hospital for long periods of time...but......doesn't really change her diet. Charming, darling girl.......always very, very sick......and was addicted to Bella Donna for about 30 years (opium, right?) that her dad prescribed for her because her stomach was always in so much pain. :huh: <shaking head> so - shouldn't she NOT eat sweets? <not that she would make any changes> It's very sad........I'm sure she'll not live long. Alas, 'tis another crazy relative that we don't talk to so......won't affect my life directly. :(

okay - back to silly - and yard work - and........................OMG carpet shampooing is coming up soon.......EGREGIOUS................................ :angry:

Julie and Boev are back!!! (my 2 favoUrite Lymies ;) ) with PHUNNIES!!!!!!!!

Susie - how tragic for your cousin ...but also interesting.

This at least proves that you have the 'auto-immune' gene thing floating around in your family.

Absolutely NOBODY in Terry's family (other than our Al) has :blink: ....I find this odd

Love Janet's video of the temper tantrum :lol:

Amanda - hope the antibiotics work soon!!

...SO tired <yawn> ...t'was a 6am start but that's normal.....I think I'm STILL recovering :rolleyes: <lazy slug sot>

Just TOO old to partay the night away :lol:

Glad you at least got this figured out, Amanda - - I remember you being concerned about breathing troubles during exercise....

Susie! It always breaks my heart to hear stories about people, especially young people, who refuse to take control of their diabetes and end up with all of the serious, but essentially unavoidable, complications like blindness, gangrene/amputation, kidney failure....how very sad. And she's on a pump? Gad, there is absolutely NO excuse - - the insulin pump makes things so much easier for those who have brittle control....

Wow. Not much more to say. King Diabetic Peter?.....

There isn't really anything I can add to what Emily said. It is sad to see something like that, and know what lies ahead. But she's in denial and there is really nothing anybody can do to force her to change.

Arrrrrggggh! The weather forecast for tonight contains the words "frost warning." :(

I know.....she won't do anything to change these things except - take steroids, maybe? is that the prescription? I don't know......we speak to her/see her once a year, on Thanksgiving. She's my age, so much fun, and we have so much in common........but she makes no effort with us and doesn't follow through. :( Has two kids, divorced, always sick, went through rehab at least twice for her painkiller addiction......great to hang out with but I can't emotionally invest, she shows up for a bit, then vanishes for.....a decade or so. :( Her husband is fighting for full custody and may get it.

Okay.....Kissey and I have had an argument. :o this is our second one, total. OMG - - OMG - - OMG. What is the world coming to? :lol: It stresses me out.........

Amanda - hope you get your sinus infection under control soon..........

OMGAWD- can't believe the temper tantrum video came to Sillyville- we have been talking about it all weekend. Saturday the "men" were playing bocci in the backyard when my 3 year old nephew Cooper walked out and went to grab one of the balls (my sis and I had just run out for ice cream). All the guys yelled, "Cooper, NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" and he started bawling his eyes out.

My sis and I return home and he is in his mum's arms doing much better. Takes one look at me and explodes again, "Auntie BEEEEVVVVVVVVVV". EVERYONE cracked up. Poor wee Cooper!!!!!! Too funny!

Bev & Julie - happy you guys could poop in . . . now we can stop speculating. Hope you're feeling better soon, Julie. And hope you quit feeling so lymey, Bev.

Ooh...what did you think Julie and I were doing? :o we do have a secret plan to vacation in Fiji once we both feel better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely hate that it's a whole year and you're still fighting the Lymmies :angry:

You and me both- I have to keep reminding myself that the reason I'm still doing battle is that I had it for a LONG time, but I also have 4 other tick-borne infections :(

I don't know about anybody else, but I don't leave my balls unprotected out in the yard where children can grab them. :ph34r: I would for sure be nuts to do that. :D

2oC here overnight, with a wind chill (in May??) of -2.

      Welcome to the forum, @ellyelly! How much gluten were you eating in the weeks prior to the endoscopy? Many people with indeterminate results had cut down or eliminated gluten from their diet beforehand. This can lower the autoimmune response and decrease the symptoms (lower antibody levels, reduced inflammation and intestinal damage may heal). ...

      @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12? B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly. Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing. Are you on any medication for your Gerd? Here...

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Because of your anemia, you may not be making sufficient antibodies.  I hope they did a total IgA as well as the tTg IgA, and DGP IgG.  I hope you will share the results with us.  If your body isn't making a large amount of antibodies, then the intestinal damage would be less as well.  The antibodies attacking our own cells is what causes the damage. Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies besides the ferritin?  Several vitamins and minerals are needed to correct iron deficiency.  Have you been taking any vitamin supplements? Positive on the genes, I see.  Increases the likelihood...  Good job on ramping up on gluten for the test!

      Thanks so much for the link and for your thoughts! I have been on a gluten - containing diet and ramped up my intake in the couple of weeks leading up to the endoscopy, so I’m hopeful that the biopsy is painting an accurate picture.    I don’t quite understand what else might be causing the lymphocytosis and the inflammatory cells/ clusters of plasma cells and struggled to get clarity from the specialist. Perhaps this is common and nothing to be concerned about?!   In case relevant, my mother sister are both celiac, and I have the genes: HLA-DQA1*05:01 = Heterozygous HLA-DQB1*02:01 = Heterozygous Thanks again!

How much gluten were you eating in the weeks prior to the endoscopy?  Many people with indeterminate results had cut down or eliminated gluten from their diet beforehand.  This can lower the autoimmune response and decrease the symptoms (lower antibody levels,  reduced inflammation and intestinal damage may heal).   If you weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten per day in a minimum of two weeks prior to the endoscopy, you may want to do another gluten challenge with repeat endoscopy. Here's an article that explains, be sure to read the comments.

      Hi all, Such valuable insights shared here - I am so grateful to be able to read along! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom.  I (37yo female) have recently had an endoscopy to screen for celiac given a strong family history and extremely low Ferritin for the past 7 years (not responsive to oral supplements). I am awaiting celiac blood panel results (completed post-endoscopy to provide another piece of the puzzle, I think was just an accidental oversight not doing earlier).  The endoscopy results are as follows: Gastroscopy:  Stomach: Mild gastritis and one 4mm benign appearing inflammatory polyp in the body.  Duodenum: Largely normal but few shallow erosions seen in the duodenal bulb. Microscopy:  1. Sections show specialised and non-specialised gastric mucosa with increased numbers of chronic inflammatory cells within the lamina propria including occasional clusters of plasma cells amounting to mild chronic inflammation. No active inflammation, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or malignancy is seen. Immunostains for Helicobacter organisms are negative. 2. Sections show small bowel mucosa with normal villous architecture. A mild non-specific intra-epithelial lymphocytosis is noted at the villous tips of uncertain clinical significance. The lamina propria contains a normal population of chronic inflammatory cells. No granulomas or parasites are seen. There is no dysplasia or malignancy. Conclusion 1. Gastric: Mild chronic inflammation 2. Duodemum: Mild non-specific intraepithelial lymphocytosis with preserved villous architecture.  The GI specialist, assuming blood tests come back normal, feels it is unlikely that it is celiac given the normal villous architecture. Suggested continuing on as usual and monitoring for symptoms etc, screening with blood test if required in the future.  Worth a second opinion or does this seem accurate? Anything else I should be considering? I feel a little lost as to how to best proceed! Thanks again.
