Amanda, when Jacquie and I were in Orlando, we went to the space center. This was in 1996. There were two tours available, one of the civilian NASA-operated Kennedy Space Center, and one of the more historic Cape Canaveral Air Force Station where the earlier missions were launched. We did both. I would do it again. It was a much more enjoyable day than the one we spent at Disney World.

I read a lot of books, and am currently reading "The Mushroom Man" by Stuart Pawson. It is a murder mystery set in England in the south of Yorkshire. The protagonist is Detective Inspector Charlie Priest, and when the story is from his point of view, the narration is in the first person. I read this passage this afternoon. Charlie is speaking.

I grabbed my book of numbers an wrote out a few for Gilbert. After stuffing a few plastic bags in my pockets I was down the stairs faster than a lighthouse keeper with diarrhoea and an outside toilet.

That image was just so, well, celiac that I had to share it with my silly friends.

I don't see any "warn(0%)" by your post count btw, and never heard of such a thing. Moderators know?

Obviously, this spammer must have nothing better to do today than to tell us about "pizzle enhancers????" Sounds like a personal problem to me!

Perhaps he should just go out and buy a sports car like every other guy who's trying to compensate for something. It's bad enough that we all get this garbage in our emails.

Well, g'night sillies. :)

Such d%$#@#$ baggery!!!!! Now MINE says "warn (0%)"!!

"Lighthouse D" belongs in the lexicon :D

In the context I'd always seen a$$cracker, it seemed more a combo of a$$hole and the southern usage of cracker, like an ignorant bumpkin.

Although, Em may have somphin there with the other boob thing :P

:lol: 'twas not the other boob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susie, you must 'fess up, my dear! :P

Okay...........here's what happened. :( and I am a compleeeeeeeeeeeet eejit.

We went to a restaurant where I have been at least a DOZEN times since dx, and eaten safely. There is a wonderful kitchen manager there, with whom I usually speak - no problems, EVER.

Well............Saturday night, after a coupla mojitos, this is where we went, and we had a new, young waiter. I told him about my issues, but quite briefly.............ordered shrimp w/ garlic/butter/white wine and asparagus. He assures us this is okay.

I ate my shrimp..........but noticed that there seemed to be a .........mealy? quality to the shrimp.......as if coated with something. I paid no heed and kept going. :(

Sunday, I was not well..........but attributed it to mojitos and - later - red wine. :ph34r: Yes, Kissey and I do like to get our drink on...........so I thought this, on Sunday, was the problem........more..... beverage than usual.

So - I ate the leftover shrimp/asparagus (which were so pithy and undercooked as to feel like eating a TREE TRUNK :blink: ) on Sunday..........and today.............. :( many, many trips to toilet and my BRAIN??????? As bad as it can be, my friends. Crying, emotional, dramatic, and thinking the darkest thoughts ever. I put it together..........our restaurant had failed us as there had been nothing else suspicious or not made from home.

Today's depression was quite dramatic.......horrible...very sad. :( Dark thoughts.

But - - I have gone to Save Mart and purchased ONLY safe, whole meats/fish/poultry/veggies/fruits - -have to be pure again and make myself right. HARRUMPH!!!!!!!!!!! Been living dangerously because I am trying to seem......normal..........going out and ordering things and eating other things that seemed....easy and right......but not being careful. BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I now know that I have to be more strict. Kissey can do his own things away from me and even with me but........*I* have to be quite careful as cannot afford to be this messed up.

and there you have it, phfriends. Susie is a careless, daredevil, gluten-brained, reckless eejit. :ph34r:

I swear Susie - I do NOT know how you can post all day seeming like your usual Dingo self (well, not 100%, but .. ..you know) under these circumstances.

:( I had the same shrink in Monterey for five years, once to twice a week. Loved her. She knew, if I ever lost my sense of humoUr (which is somehow a detached portion of my brain, and works better in writing than in person) that things were very, VERY dire......she considered hospitalizing me a few times.....and in hindsight, I wish I'd gone. Would have given more credibility to my struggles............but I fought like hell to stay out, because I had a wonderful mom, and dingo whom I could not leave, and would recuperate at the Janie sanitarium. :huh:

night, sillies. Bad day, but half the carpet is shamPOOed, tomorrow, the rest. :weaksmile:

Did I mention that Elsie has put on five pounds since we've had her? :) No more angular boniness to her frame, and her back legs do seem stronger. Such a happy girl.....

Elsie and Gus are currently sprawled out on the office floor behind me, chewing on each other's ears. When they are finished with each other they always approach me in a rush, completely covered in slobber (greenguy)......

Susie, what did you do about all the playful dingo slobber?! :rolleyes::lol:

She wants to know if he prefers dudes. :o:lol::lol:

Gaaaahh! Teen trash-talk.. ...how very....graphic and.. ...ewwwww.

Mornin' Sillies :D

Boy, this warning thing has people in a tizzy! I just logged on--can everybody now see their own, or does everyone see everyone else's? I'm confuzzled :blink:

Ah Suzzle--the restaurant meal :angry: Well, you tried to get a safe meal--that's really all you could have done. The safe foods prepared at home should have you back in the pink before too long. My last glutening (the dates <_< ) lasted 10 days, so be patient :)

I see Judy! :D

Em--your two pooches nibbling each other's ears--so cute! :)

Nik--still soggy, are ya? Glad to hear you're keepin them feet in sneekers! :P

I had a dream last night about Jess :lol: Alls I remember was she lived in a cool loft and had lots of people around.

elye Community Regular

I have no warning percentages beside me. I would think that not being part of this Visible Percentage Warning Club (VPWC) matters not, but by the sounds of things, it's currently de rigueur... ... .

I had a dream last night about Jess :lol: Alls I remember was she lived in a cool loft and had lots of people around.

Question: I have not as yet had any dreams involving Sillies, so I am curious as to how it will transpire when it does happen - - since we don't really know what Jess looks like, what did she look like in your dream, Patti? How did you know it was her? Did she have to tell you who she was? "Hey - - it's me.....you know.. ..Sillyville Jess"....

Others have had Citizens of Sillyville dreams....how do we know that we're dreaming of one another?! :huh::lol:

Nikki! You dreamed of me being quite wealthy and b!tchy....What did I look like? Was I lovely? Did I start to run, and look like a cow? :rolleyes:

elye Community Regular

AH!... .... . .. ...There it suddenly is.... ... ... ...I am part of the Zeros... .. ..... <_<:unsure:

Jestgar Rising Star

I have to post just so I can see my warning level :P

Hmm, cool loft. I'll have to work towards that.

The new cats are getting weened off canned food. They are certain that this signals impending death by starvation. :ph34r:

Suzzle

OMG!!!!

Susiepiggle suzzle!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Nik--still soggy, are ya?

Why yes Paddeigh, I am <_<

Nikki! You dreamed of me being quite wealthy and b!tchy....What did I look like? Was I lovely? Did I start to run, and look like a cow? :rolleyes:

Well now, you looked as you do in yer pics - frightfully stylish (absolutely NO mooing OR swinging of udders) in a black Yves St Laurent trouser suit ;)

I keep seeing that topic . . . Food Attachment Issues . . . and keep reading it as Foot Attachment Issues and thinking that Nikki is working out the logistics of her Feet Transplant.

Sillie Em...I've seen Jess, she had an av up a while back taken while on a trip. Also in that dream was the man who bought our house last summer.....I wish to heck I could remember more cuz' it was probably a good 'un :lol:

I don't dream all that often, or at least remember them, but when I do it seems that everything is all there at once :o

Weird.....and quite exhausting :huh:

On to more important news.....I fit into my size 10 crop pants as of this morning!!! :D:D:D And not lay-on-the-bed-and-hold-my-breath-so-I-can-zip- them, either :D Stood there and zipped 'em right up! :) I kept them hanging in my closet for 2 years, never giving up hope :lol:

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Susie, what did you do about all the playful dingo slobber?! :rolleyes::lol:

Well, Em, dingos don't slobber!!!!!!! Annie does, however, foam at the mouth and have shoestring spit ONLY and I mean ONLY at the dog park. :blink: 'tis most curious.........

So glad your standards are enjoying each other, and Elsie, gaining weight and strength! :wub:

I have no warning percentages beside me. I would think that not being part of this Visible Percentage Warning Club (VPWC) matters not, but by the sounds of things, it's currently de rigueur... ... .

:unsure: I don't have this either. OMG - does this mean - we're not even worthy of being told that we have no warnings? :lol:

      For me I gave up oat products and it finally cleared. I had a whole body reaction for months. Two additional culprits for me: shared grill at a restaurant or a shared toaster.  Hope you have relief soon.

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long before this.

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
