M-m-m....does it quack? Cuz if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck......

Then it's, indeed, a duck. :lol:

It's like a duck with a smaller, rather curved beak... .. perhaps more a budgie....

Busy night, and I TRY to pretend I know what you all are talking about, it just seemed easier to ask. And I thought I could offer a few chuckles.

And YES....those were THE biggest exclamation marks I think I've ever seen.

BTW I got the new Avatar to work, so enjoy.

:lol::lol::lol: I will say . . . you do catch on quick!!

And the name thang is a good thang . . . lots of the psilly names actually stand for something else . . . problem is, can't quite remember . . . hmmmmm

If you scare someone off (such as with an anal gland question) . . . you've Em'd them.

If you post something hillarious but nobody noticed . . . you've been Bev'd.

When you've been hit with an unsuspecting zinger . . . you've been Patti'd.

When you had something phunny to say but can't remember any more . . . you Dingo'd it.

When you've got something important to do but keep procrastinating (especially by camping out on the silly thread) . . . you're pulling a Susie.

Hey?? How'd she get two??

Can't remember the others . . . are there others??

Oh mah gah.... I gotta tell you guys...

So I went back to the Dr to get blood drawn, and the boys and I saw a brand new red Mustang out the back door. The boys, of course, were fascinated. They both love cars, though Lucas is certified Car Crazy. Turns out it was our doctor's daughter's car.

So she had her daughter come back and chat with the boys while I was having the blood draw, and you guys... my boys were SMITTEN! She's probably about 17 or so, and after we left, all the boys could talk about was how preeeeettttty she was, and how SUHWEET her car is!

:rolleyes:

Excellent summary, Janet!

I believe sometime over the winter I earned one:

If you spend a few days just reading and not posting, you pulled a Sarah. :rolleyes:

It has been an interesting day. Violent weather moved through the region this afternoon. We were at the store, and had torrential downpours.

Where we live, the thunderstorms were more severe, with hail the size of golf balls. There was much damage to trees which lost branches and leaves. Our deck was covered with debris, as was much of the neighboUrhood. The screen on my office window, which faced into the storm, has eleven holes in it varying in size up to an inch in diameter.

The yeti was last seen in a crossword puzzle I worked about a week ago, I seem to recall that he was 29 Across.

Tomorrow Jacquie and I will enjoy a day off together. It will be our last for the foreseeable future, barring a miracle. As of Friday noon, it will be just the two of us The person who we took on a couple of weeks back found it to be just too much.

      Cross-contamination?

      Thanks Scott!

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      Products can be both gluten-free AND made in a facility that produces wheat products. Why are you assuming that this product isn't gluten-free?

      Cross-contamination?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No, small amounts of cross-contamination won't instantly cause villi damage. In fact the protocol for getting an endoscopy for celiac disease requires people to eat at least 2 slices of wheat bread per day for 2 weeks before the procedure, otherwise any damage done might not be detected. Small amounts of gluten on a daily basis, however, may lead to severe damage over time, as it would have a cumulative effect. Some celiacs, and people with DH, have intense symptoms with even a single exposure with a trace amount of gluten, while others have little or no reaction to a lot of contamination (although their health risks from prolonged exposure are the same).

      Still unsure.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a challenging and frustrating situation, and it's understandable why you'd seek clarity. Based on what you’ve described, it’s possible to have gluten sensitivity without the hallmark villous atrophy seen in celiac disease. This condition is often referred to as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Unlike celiac disease, NCGS does not cause the autoimmune damage to the small intestine that’s detectable through a biopsy, and it won’t show up on standard celiac blood tests. However, symptoms like gastrointestinal distress, changes in stool, and even mood issues, such as anxiety or feeling down, have been reported by others with gluten sensitivity. Your experience with mucus in your stool, stool consistency changes, and mood correlation with gluten intake could be indicative of NCGS. The low levels of zinc and folic acid you mentioned might also hint at some malabsorption issues, even if the root cause isn't celiac disease. It’s worth noting that other conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or a sensitivity to FODMAPs (a group of fermentable sugars in many foods, including wheat), can sometimes mimic gluten sensitivity. Since your symptoms seem to improve when you avoid gluten, it may be worth continuing a gluten-free diet to see if it helps you feel better overall. You might also consider working with a dietitian who specializes in gastrointestinal health to rule out other potential triggers and ensure your diet is balanced. If you’re still struggling to get answers from your doctor, seeking a second opinion from a gastroenterologist might also help you move forward. You're not alone in this, and I hope you can find some relief and clarity soon!

      Certified gluten free oats

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Gluten-free oats can cause villous atrophy in people with celiac disease who are sensitive to oats (~10% of celiacs). While oats are naturally gluten-free and often safe for most individuals with celiac disease, a small percentage of people with the condition are sensitive to avenin, a protein found in oats that is structurally similar to gluten. For these individuals, consuming oats—whether labeled gluten-free or not—can trigger an immune response, leading to intestinal damage, including villous atrophy.
