It sounds to me like this poor old woman has nothing better to do with her time than cause trouble for people. She should maybe be careful carrying all those things in case someone were to cause trouble for her ;)

So I have to laugh....last evening, we found our 4 y/o standing at the top of the stairs, and from what I can tell, she had been there for some time. My wife says, "Hi T." DD had a can of pop (soda) in her hand, which she managed to get out of the fridge downstairs al by herself, and asked if my wife would like to have it. My wife replied, "Oh..no thank you sweetie." At which point my daughter said, "Well, there's no beer mommy!" I almost died I was laughing so hard.

Hope you all have a good day. :)

Too Funny!

I actually have a funny beer story. Where we are in PA you cannot buy beer or wine or anything in the grocery stores....yep we are still in the dark ages. Last weekend we were in FL @ Publix and they had a huge selection of different beers and such. So John was gazing and this mother came up to the selection and she had her daughter with her and the girl was no more than 4. The little girl out louds says, Mommmy are you buying beer today? The mother looked at the beer and said I am not sure. The girl replied. You always buy beer here.

I was laughing and then I told John that was something our kids would never be able to say since we cannot buy it that way. Interesting huh?

Did I tell you about our nosy neighbor lady that drives us all crazy??

These are the best neighbors to have! Think of the fun you can have!

Jen:"yah, last week they tried to sell Landen to some people in <insert upscale neighborhood>".

John:"Oh, I just spend the night with either Amanda or Jen, whichever one isn't feeling tired."

Amanda:"No, Landen is really MY baby, I just let Jen take care of him sometimes."

Any of you:"Landen? Did I have him today? When did you last see him?"

Amanda or John:"Oh, we lock the door. He'll be fine by himself"

or "If I have to go out I just grab that guy that lives in the doorway down the street."

Wow--that's amazing....we had flocks pretty close to that in South Jersey every so often. When they landed, every tree, power line, lawn, everything was dotted with the birds.

I thought it was amazing too. The lighting wasn't very good in the video, I don't know if it was a stormy day or an ameteur camera or what. There must be ALOT of birds in that flock :lol:

Speaking of the Sillie Summit.....Emily must be in Philadelphia by now and it's on the way to 92 degrees with oppressive humidity. :o Good thing there are lots of air conditioned places to duck into.

I hear this morning that the humidity is supposed to be much lower beginning on Thursday for the Summit :D

oh rub it in. Probably the day will start with a light shower to freshen the air and paint the sky with rainbows while the afternoon sun will make the flowers glow and every color of butterfly will descend on the city whilst the unscheduled troop of Romanian pipers fill the air with lilting, mysterious melodies and the children all laugh and dance in the streets.

I have very bad news to report. Due to some last minute scheduling at my job with our new studies I will not make it for the Silly Summit. I told my boss I would like to bypass the one meeting, her answer was if you would like we can bypass me working here..... :blink: I guess I better come to work.....

I would have liked to have join you for the Psilly Psummit, but it's a wee bit of a treck for coffee. Have a wonderful time and take PHotos.

Now, think about the Outer Banks in September or October (HIGH HURRICANE SEASON, BUT THE HOUSE IS CHEAP....hee, hee, hee.) Any interest???

Hi Sillies- Sorry, I am WAY behind the curve. Was with the famdamnly from Thursday to last night on an island in the middle of Lake Champlain. We were technically in VT but you could swim to NY or Canada (I swam to neither :P). I had a GREAT time still antibiotic free!!!!!!!!!!! However, several strange events occurred that I must tell you of:

1. I think that Gus the Yipper is secretly vacationing on this island under the name of Bosco. I do not have a picture to prove it but I SWEAR he was staying at the fishing lodge we stayed at!!!!!!!!

2. I met a fellow celiac (his wife calls it Silly Ass disease) and I can confirm that the sense of humor is CLEARLY related to celiac. His name is Arnie and he is supposed to pop into this thread. Look out for him- he's pretty funny. He will probably also tell you MANY things about me that are only slightly true :lol: :lol:

3. Due to the yummy mixes of Namaste blondies and brownies- we were invaded at midnight by chocolate zombies (uhm- men and women in their 60's with pantyhose over their heads who came out of a VERY dark woods moaning for chocolate). You'd think they'd go after the REGULAR chocolate cake but no........

Of course, I thought of our Psiouxie constantly. :wub:

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!!!!!!! And the summit is coming!

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By trents · Posted

      So, you have three symptoms of a gluten-related disorder: weight loss, brain fog and lose stools. Of the three, the lose stools that firm up when you cut back on gluten is the only symptom for which you have reasonable cause to assume is connected to gluten consumption since the other two persist when you cut back on gluten. But since you do not have any formal test results that prove celiac disease, you could just as easily have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In fact, what testing you have had done indicates you do not have celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten is the antidote for both. What muddies this whole question are two things: 1. Lack of official diagnostic data that indicates celiac disease. 2. Your persistence in consuming gluten, even though in smaller amounts. Your anxiety over the insomnia seems to outweigh your anxiety over the weight loss which prevents you from truly testing out the gluten free diet. What other medical testing have you had done recently? I think something else is going on besides a gluten disorder. Have you had a recent CBC (Complete Blood Count) and a recent CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel)? You say you don't believe you have any vitamin and mineral deficiencies but have you actually been tested for any. I certainly would be concerned with that if I was losing weight like you are despite consuming the high amount of calories you are.

      False blood test positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AndiOgris! Recently upgraded guidelines for the "gluten challenge" recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least 2 weeks to the day of testing to ensure valid testing, either for the antibody testing or the endoscopy/biopsy. 10g of gluten is roughly the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. So, there is a question in my mind as to whether or not your gluten consumption was intense enough to ensure valid testing the second time around. And was the tTG-IGA the only antibody test that was run? That is far from a comprehensive celiac panel. Concerning your negative biopsy, there is the possibility of patchy damage that was missed due to inadequate sampling as you alluded to. There is also the possibility that the onset of your celiac disease (if you have it) was so new that there had not yet been time to accumulate damage to the small bowel lining. Your total lack of symptoms at the time of diagnosis would seem to support this idea. Having said all that, and this is my informal observation from reading many, many posts like yours over the years, I wonder if you are on the cusp of celiac disease, crossing back and forth across that line for the time being. My suggestion would be to keep a close eye on this for the time being. Watch for the development of symptoms and request a more complete celiac panel a year from now. Here is an article that discusses the various antibody tests that can be run for celiac disease. Note: The EMA test is kind of outdated and expensive. It has been replaced by the tTG-IGA which measures the same thing and is less expensive to run.

      Hi, yes. Much more solid and firm, as opposite to diarrhea like when on gluten.

      False blood test positive?

      By AndiOgris · Posted

      Hi all I have had a very confusing year with celiac disease (or perhaps not as it turns out) and wondered if anyone can help me make sense of it? My mother was diagnosed with celiac disease (in her 70s) a couple of years ago. I am in my early 40s and did not have any symptoms, but I took a blood test in November 2023 and it came back positive (TTG IGA 23.4 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). I was referred for a gastroscopy to confirm, which was scheduled for October 2024 (I use the UK health service, things move slowly!). The gastroscopy found no evidence of celiac disease.  My gastroenterologist has asked me to retake the blood test, and it just came back negative (TTG IGA 1.6 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). Given the long wait between my initial positive blood test and my gastroscopy, I reduced my gluten intake but never avoided it fully. In the 6 weeks before the gastroscopy and the second blood test, I made sure to eat at least two slices of bread a day as recommended, and often I had significantly more.  So what's going on? I understand that false positives are very rare for celiac blood tests, and usually associated with other serious diseases which I am fairly sure I don't have (my health is generally very good). After the negative biopsy, I thought that (i) either they did not take enough samples, or (ii) I have "potential celiac disease". But now that the second blood test has come back negative, I'm running out of plausible explanations...  Can anyone make sense of this? I have not spoken to my gastroenterologist yet - I wanted to get a better sense of where I am beforehand so that I can ask the right questions. Under the UK system, specialist doctors can be very hard to get hold of, so I need to make the most of my time with him! Thanks!

      Do you mean that your stools firmed up when you began to cut gluten from your diet?
