MIL is due to arrive tomorrow morning. I am frantically trying to clean the house and make it look like "yes, this is how I always maintain my home". I'm pretty sure I don't have enough time for that :P

Don't you hate having to put on an appearance for people!

What's going on over there? Is she still mopping up rainwater? I wonder if a ballcock would help with this job.... . . . <_<:rolleyes:

PuhLEEZE!!! Try naming a job a ballcock wouldnt help with!!

Ptaoughmghmous! How are you feeling on your new bottled concoctions? Perhaps too early to tell.......

Excellent play-by-play of signed words, Lisa! I must go out and find a deaf person, and practise these words (perhaps test them, as it's true, Lisa could be tricking us... .. that last one with the hand spreading out behind our bums could in fact mean "kiss my arse, honey!").....

BTW.......I unpacked my book of Signs of Sexual Behavior .and it says Va-jay-jay should be signed pointing down so as not to confuse it with *triangle*...............yeah, cuz I always confuse mine with a triangle :unsure:

Oh, gawd, yes, I HATE when that happens......Many an embarrassing geometry class in high school.... ..me looking at the test paper, not certain which was being depicted..... . .

And gawd, I HATED to ask........ . .. :lol:

I'm here, whatever that means. No rain expected today, low humidity, mid-twenties Celsius. I'm stuck in the store until sometime after seven this evening.

Hi, PeOter! These are the days where you and/or Jacquie are in the store ALL DAY, every day......how are you guys holding up?

<---- Look at Em's Belly!!!!

:lol::lol::lol:

Need to do more oblique work........

I'm pooping in and out . . . MIL is due to arrive tomorrow morning. I am frantically trying to clean the house and make it look like "yes, this is how I always maintain my home". I'm pretty sure I don't have enough time for that :P

Oh, dear gawwwwwd.....Janet, I've done my long MIL shift, and I've passed the baton to you. How long is she staying? Does she go through you medicine cabinets? Purposefully rearrange everything in you kitchen drawers, explaining while clicking her tongue and shaking her head, "Things are really much more efficient this way"....., constantly ask disapprovingly why the children aren't in church, voice great concern over the choice of dog food you purchase, clothes detergent you buy, lack of time spent defrosting the freezer ("the ice in there is just awful!")............

Gaaaaahhh!.....Someone stop me! <_<:lol:

Is that what yer need when yer bum's SO big it's dragging on the phloor??? :unsure:

Good summon Em .. ... (I'm not touchin' that 3x line :ph34r: )

<ptaum forms an L and taps thumb to chin>

:lol: Ptaughmus!!!!!!!!!

Lisa, can you explain to me how I can unfurl the garden hose when I pull it out to water the plants and NOT have it all tangle up, so that I don't have to walk all the way back over and UNtangle it? <_<

Indeed an international problem!!......it seems to have a life of it's own :huh:

........and, UnFurl sounds much better than unCurl doesn't it???

Sign for the day: FART

Make a fist with thumb alongside index finger ( not placed in front of fingers like you normally would) This is the letter A, so we will refer to this as the A hand. Bring your A hand around back, with thumb pointing at ......well...you know. Then open hand spreading out fingers to the #5......Hey...this could come in handy.......we already know what #1 and #2 are.....now we have a #5!!! By the way....... in ASL, facial expressions are important. So when you open your hand, blow air out of your mouth by going *Puh*

OMG LIsa!!!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

I'm totally loving your self explanatory signs!!!!!!!!

....but WAIT!!..........there is someone who I can try these out on!!!

......one of the evil pheral pharkwits is deaf (remember them???, the gang of teens causing trouble in my street)

...will he understand me???....Is ASL different to BSL (that's British Sign language :rolleyes: NOT the other words that BS are associated with :lol: )

Maybe Lisa could teach me

''Kindly bog off to yer own street'' :unsure: (maybe with more profanities ? ;) )

I prefer this format. It makes more sense when you type

A brave attempt by Jan to fool us into believing SHE AIN'T AFEARED!!!

triple post? what? :unsure: the computer was being DASTARDLY last night.....it would not post but....I don't see three..........

Hmmmmm....yes, the illiterate individuals..... . . . .could provide an illustration, or I could now use American Sign Language. Only thing is, I only know "penis", "vagina", "lesbian" and "helicopter". Well, I could just start up a line of conversation where I only need to use those words. Not a problem.

I'm sure you can work it out

...Wonder how our Susie is managing.............. :(

today is.......I dunno know why........not the best day.

I feel............stuck!

It does. I question its use here, however, but decided to go ahead wif it, as it is a word that comes trippingly off the tongue. Flags unfurl, old documents unfurl, hair can unfurl from a clip or elastic....but a hose? Not sure. Unwind, yes.....

This is the kind of menial thing, unfortunately, that stays in my head and bothers me..... :huh::lol:

Pythagorus' wife conTINually accused him of a porn addiction.

Hmmmm... . .Well, she may have been a very integral part of mathematical history. I mean, Pythagorus could have been lying awake in bed one night, racked with formulae and calculations that weren't coming together...."Gads!" he may have muttered, turning over, sitting up..."I almost have it! If only I had a triangle at hand, I'm sure it would come to me presently".....and then, a sudden glance at his sleeping wife beside him - - and the rest is history..........

Worked on the weeds garden some more today, and my back is now scorched purple. And I've got a stink goin' on. Someone came on a little bit ago and revived the GlutenEase thread... but I'm just too tired. :rolleyes: I'm gonna go take a shower. :lol:

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      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?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      diagnostic testing variance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
