That would be fun Julie, count me in!

I'll send you an invitation Carla! :lol:

Oh no, Julie....that sounds awful! Is it a random thing, where you never know where or when an outbreak will occur? I hope the new doctor in Arizona will be able to shed some light on this.

It is Patti, very random. I never know when I am going to get an outbreak, or where when it does happen. When it's in the throat it's quite scary as it could close up and block my airway. So I was quite on edge, but it finally did let up and started to go down.

today . ...totally amazed .. . .White Chicken Chili w/ ZERO forbidden ingredients!!!!!

SWEET!!!!! Don't you love it when that happens, finding a recipe that has all safe ingredients in it?!?! :D

But, Susie does have a point about the aftermath of White Chicken Chili, beware of the gas bomb bloat :lol:

Is it weird of me to give the figurine to her? I know it's worth sort of a lot so maybe that makes it kinda weird. I don't want to make her feel awkward or anything. I would give it to her in private, not in front of all of the party people. I keep going back and forth. Would it feel strange to you if someone gave you a gift like this given the situation? :unsure: I'm so scared that it's going to come across as creepy.

So I am a little late in weighing in on this, but I agree with everyone else. I think it's a lovely gesture, very meaningful and from the heart, and not weird or creepy at all.

Popping in to tell you all that I spent the day at one of the least likely places a Celiac would go to.

An all day beer fest!

YAY Laura, glad you had a fun day!!!! Quite the brave celiac :lol::lol:

I saw the most heinous, vile display this morning on the Today Show.....a woman was standing in the crowd, holding a little dog in her arms, partially covered with a blanket. She was telling the host how the poor dog has only one eye, is missing a leg and has skin cancer. She went on to say that the vets have given him about 9 months. :(

Here's the part that made me turn off the TV in disgust.....this woman is carting this poor creature around, entering him in The Ugliest Dog in America contest. <_<<_<<_<

This is just heinous and in such poor taste. I see by the link Emily posted he won :o

Got home late Friday and by Saturday afternoon my arm was in flames and had to have PICC line immediately removed. It was a relief as I was ready to do it myself. Arm was so itchy and yucky. It's much better today but I expect after all this excitement, I will sleep for days.

Hi Bev!!!!! Been wondering where you've been. I'm so sorry about the picc line :(

((((HUGS)))) , hope you get some rest!

more later. Movie time coming up, sitting on our respective couches in the cool, darkened room. Going to make Kissey barbecue tonight, I am not lifting a finger. :)

Movie Time!!!!!!!!

What ya watching tonight??

Llama Lady, is that you?? I am confoozled about Terri Hatcher :blink:

Emily, so sorry about Sophie getting car sick , I hope she is feeling better :) What are you and jack going to do while holding down the fort?? :lol: Finding other uses for hockey pads I suppose is on the list. I am thinking you can put them on as elbow pads and in your next marathon take out the competition?? :huh:

Yes, Laura's "DD" stumped me for a few minutes as well, but then I got it. We could just add a "cicle" to it because that is alwyas funny, am I right Sarah?? :lol:

Patti, Design Star is on tonight!!

Tis a great time at the driving range....then we went to Chili's....and I believe we were sickened by food there, 4 of us out of 6 are stomach ill with the "D" and vomiting and such. For me it feel much different and much worse than when glutened....I feel terrible!

The worst part was it hit while I was in Wegmans buying my groceries...I could not get out of there fast enough....It was a close call...

So now Landen is in his walker, I feel a little better just made dinner and I am going to take it easy....

Amanda- POOPY COW!!!! You and Nikki are both down with an evil bug- hope you both feel better soon......

it looks as though I must go back- Julie is going to AZ, Sophia got sick and Alex is deciding on a gift.....

Don't have regret, you might make just as much progress on orals as you did IV. :)

Thanks Carla, I needed that :):wub: :wub:

:lol: Pseuzee .. .I had no idea at first on the DD, but cup size??? :lol: THAT never came to mind.

Did I hear right that it was up to 110 in Phrez???? :ph34r:

WHAT? Laura had DD cups for a day? :lol: :lol:

You can do that just for a day?? Do they look real? Or do you have to be not drinking beer at the time? Or with people who ARE drinking beer?

Bev! I'm so sorry about this horrid picc line nightmare for you. But we must listen to Carla....she knows her stuff, and you will likely improve in leaps and bounds on the abx. :):) Now, you've just gotten back from NYC....any chance you can flit over to Philly to meet us the afternoon of July10th? Please say you can! How awesome that would be........

Julie... ..I cannot begin to imagine the fear that must encompass you when a throat angiedema flares up. How horrific.....thank goodness you're okay. :)

Amanda! You and Sophie, the barfers.....hope this passes quickly! Sophie is fine now. She and her buddies are on my brother's computer, mapping out their plan of attack once they scale the walls of the Grand Eaton Centre. Three fifteen-year old girls skipping down Yonge street - -ah, to be young again! :wub:

Yes, now........who IS that gorgeous Aussie woman? Is it our Llama lady? If I did not know better, I'd suspect that it is our Susie - - ya know, dingos = Australia, jewellery-making.....Susie! Is it YOU??

This is SO nice, Alex! :)

Man, I guess I should be treating my dad more like this....putting him beside the fireplace, cooking really healthy meals for him, letting the neighboUrs in to visit more.... :rolleyes:

...After all, he is about 15 in dog years.......

:lol: Making sure his favoUrite toys are near his bed is another good thing we found! Also hip massages and tummy scratches if you can manage that. And don't forget the frequent kisses on the snout! :lol:

Ryan and I went looking around some used car lots today. We have one safe newer car and one beat up '89 Toyota Corolla. So we have decided to start looking for another car to replace the '89. If money were no object we'd probably go for one of the 2004 Toyota Echos we saw but used Toyotas are just so dang expensive compared to other cars. (edit: actually if money was no object we'd be heading down to the Lexus dealership!). So it will most likely be an American car -- we saw some well priced Ford Focus Sedans (we're not hatchback people). When I told my dad about which cars we were thinking about he immediately went online to start looking up their safety reports! It's such a dad thing to do! :P

Janet.............My wildlife ecologist son called this evening, so I asked him about your frog dilemma. This is what he said........

Most likely your frogs are not wandering off. They probably have been falling prey to herons, raccoons, dogs, cats, etc. It would be a good idea to plant some tall grasses along the pond to give them some protection. It is also possible that the water quality is not favorable, especially if there is no circulation. If that's the case, adding water plants will improve the quality of the water.

Mornin, Sillies!

Do NOT see Amanda OR Nikki on, yet......it's rare that I find myself alone in the early morning. Feels.......lonely.. . ..rather like I am talking to myself, which I do regularly throughout my day as it is..... <_<:rolleyes:

Hmmm.... . .tumbleweeds are just too complex visually to represent wif these characters.

How about. .. . .

"""" """" """" """" """" """"

Those are crickets.....can't you hear them? :rolleyes:

Hope you are over your icky stuff and ensconced at your work post, Amanda!

We're into the first week of the kids' summer holidays, and it's raining pretty steadily.... . .. might be a museum-filled day.

Morning Everyone.

Finally feeling a little better today,. thank goodness since I am at work! Landen had another good night, I think his first tooth is almost completely in. He will not let either of us look at it but when he laughs a certain way we can see it.

I guess thats all for now.

That is such a "dad" thing :D Whenever I mention we are in the market for something like an appliance, my dad goes into his library of Consumer Reports. I once called him from Lowes when we were comparing washer/dryers :P

I had not seen this--I just woke up. Sad news :( --Mark and I saw George live in the late 70's. I always loved his observations on everything.

Hello Everyone!!! Today's the big day!! Zoning Board meets tonight. All weekend has been spent getting ready for tonight's presentation (I'm mostly moral support and proofreader). Hubby is going to the Zoning Board and I'm headed to the School Board meeting!!! Lot's of fun tonight !!!zzzZZZ!!!

Can't be bothered with the quoting, I'm too far behind . . . I've read everything, just late on comments.

To the Barfers . . . STOP!! . . . Oh Wait, I think you have . . . GOOD!!!

Julie . . . OMG!!! On the throat swelling thing!!! Glad that seems to be behind you. I'm going to go google so I can understand what that is.

Alex . . . What a lovely gesture . . . I would be cryin' my eyes out . . . as either the giver OR the receiver.

Bev . . . I'm sure it feels good to have the pic line out. My fingers are crossed that the oral meds kick some lymie a$$.

Nikki . . . :lol::lol: . . . nice job taking a phrase out of context!!!

Lisa . . . yes, I've started wondering about the raccoons myself. I'm sure it's not cats or dogs. Could be a heron. In the five years we've been here, we've seen one twice, so how many times did he come when we didn't see him. The other frogs we had were leopard frogs and tended to come out more at night. Now we have a bull frog and she (I looked it up and figured out it was a she) seems to be out during the day and hidden away at night. Water quality should be OK, we have goldfish too (with no problems),and there is a small waterfall, too. Lots of nooks and crannies in the surrounding rock to hide in, some lillypads and reeds in the water and some perennials planted around the outside (some tall, some not). Also the deck overlooks the pond so there is access to the underneath of the deck (probably where the raccoon is hanging out though). I have seen raccoon paw prints on our deck. The kids have named the frog Ripples. We have been digging up worms and tossing them onto lillypads and then she goes and gets them. It's been a lot of fun for the kids. She doesn't duck away as soon as we walk up which is nice (might not be good for her though, huh).

And to all the other sillies . . . howdy.

Janet--Good luck tonight! Hope it all goes smoothly. :)

My pond sounds a lot like yours :D I'd say either one should be a frog's delight :P Our little one is still hanging around--although we live out in the country and there are plenty of critters around.

Nik--glad yer appetite is back! Whinge--I love that! Much phunnier to say than whine ;) I'm adopting it from now on.

Hi Ryan--yes, tis sad about G. Carlin.....he was phunny for sure.

Janet!! I want yer pond! It sounds like a bit of heaven. :)

Speaking of backyards and water, I think we're going to go ahead and have a hot tub put in....rather $$$, but DH and I are now entrenched in our forties, with muscles and tendons that just don't shake off long runs like they used to. So, I'm justifying this as a health expense. Think it's out of our budget right now, but hopefully by winter.....

Gad. I guess I have to hope that there are NO frogs in our yard - - a rather heinous death for one of these little cold-blooded creatures, hopping into 100 degree water... . .. :o

      Still unsure.....

      By badastronaut · Posted

      Dear forum members, I’m still trying to find out whether or not I actually have gluten sensitivity or not. Recent blood test showed a slightly elevated Bilirubine and Lipase but an abdominal ultrasound showed no problems with the liver or pancreas. My zinc and folic acid where both too low. When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal. I also have been quite anxious and little bit down for quite some time now and it seems to correlate with my gluten intake. The problem is that my colonoscopy showed no damage to my gut and my blood test for celiac always come back negative. Can you be gluten sensitive without damage to your villi? (I believe that’s what is normally seen in celiac disease). Thanks for helping! I don’t seem to get anywhere with my doctor so I thought I’d give this forum another try.

      Can gallbladder issues cause symptoms of celiac disease?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @robingfellow and @Mr-Collateral531, I also had to have my gallbladder removed in emergency surgery.  The gallbladder uses lots of thiamine vitamin b1 to function.   The gallbladder cannot secrete bile if it doesn't have sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine provides our muscles and glands energy to move and secrete needed enzymes and hormones.  The thyroid is another gland that requires lots if thiamine to function and secrete hormones.   Our brains, just thinking at a desk job, requires as much thiamine as our muscles do if running a marathon.   Migraines are linked to thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is the first of the eight B vitamins that our body needs. Thiamine can only be stored for three weeks at most.  Our thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  We need more thiamine when we have a physical injury (like recovering from surgery or fighting the flu), if we're emotionally stressed or traumatized, and if we're physically active.  Thiamine, like the other B vitamins, is water soluble and easily excreted in urine or most in diarrhea.  B vitamins are commonly poorly absorbed in Celiac Disease.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact with each other to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine deficiency can affect individual organs.  Gallbladder dysfunction is connected to thiamine deficiency, as is hypothyroidism.    Migraines are connected to thiamine deficiency.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi (abdominal pain, vomiting, etc.) is a result of thiamine deficiency.  Tachycardia and fatigue are also symptoms of thiamine deficiency.   Thiamine and magnesium make enzymes that are essential for life.   Thiamine is needed to absorb certain minerals like iron.  Anemia and thiamine deficiency frequently occur together.  Thiamine deficiency can cause poor blood cell production (including low antibody production).   Thiamine interacts with other vitamins and minerals.  Vitamin D is not utilized by the body until turned into an active form by Thiamine. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses of thiamine correct deficiencies quickly which prevent further health deterioration.  A one a day type multivitamin is not sufficient to correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies that occur in the malabsorption of Celiac Disease.   The Gluten free diet is low in vitamins as they are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing.  Supplementing with thiamine and the B vitamins boosts their absorption.   Helpful Reading: Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Wernicke's Encephalopathy Triggered by One Session of Heavy Drinking https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6739701/ P. S. Try a DNA test to see if you have any known genes for Celiac Disease before doing a gluten challenge.

      Certified gluten free oats

      Thanks for the reply ! I am asking because tomorow i have egd and nobody told me not to eat gluten-free oats… and i was scared that it could ruin my biopsy results…

      Certified gluten free oats

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I would think that for the 10% of celiacs who can't tolerate oats it would cause villous atrophy just like gluten. No, it would not produce marsh 3b villous atrophy in a couple of days. Nothing will produce measurable villous atrophy that fast. It takes at least two weeks of at least 10g of gluten consumption daily (10g is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) to develop measurable villous atrophy and even then probably not 3b villous atrophy. Are you asking these questions in because you are considering taking on a gluten challenge?

      Thanks for the awnsers i understand there is maybe system reaction but do they create or cause villious atrophy? And igmf you it them for example a couple of days di they instantly induce marsh 3b?
