Susie, I can just see Annie racing after the cavalcade of squirrels...... Gus and Elsie go berserk when there is even ONE in the yard, and we have hundreds of them around - - black, red, grey........The United Nations of Squirreldom, it would seem....... :lol:

Oh, Weezee is so jealous!!!!!!!! There are NO squirrels in our community :angry: evidently they were not given teh gate code...........

seriously though - since they cut down virtually ALL PRE-EXISTING TREES, there ARE no squirrels any more. :( There was ONE LONE SQUIRREL in the orchard where we walk......alas, they cut down the other three corners of orchards :( and that squirrel is gone..........so yeah, Weez was in PURE heaven. So very cute!

Note her new av - she is smiling in it - bottom teef showing and it cracks me up........

And I know I jumped in with both feet, without announcing myself or anything. It's kinda like when you try to join a circle of conversation at a party without anyone noticing, and it never works......

Welcome to the Bunnie :)

How many of you thought I was talking about rodents?

<raising hand>

A Schmoozle posting! Tis you Susie who has been quiet, a quiet Dingo Girl makes me go --> :huh: or :unsure: or :o or :(

Me Mum just phoned me from Spain to tell me she arrived safely.....I am jealous ..distinctly chilly here

I pooped in to catch the last few posts and noticed all this quoting from stuff I hadn't seen . . . GADS!!! Gobs of posts I missed!! Had to go back and read . . .

OK . . . JoDog is driving me nuts. We have a pergola over our deck with a wire grid on it to get some honeysuckle to grow up the side and cover the top (at least that's the plan). When Josie spots a squirrel and it jumps on this wire mesh it makes a metal tinging noise . . . so does the toaster when you push down the lever or when it pops up when it's done. Everytime she hears the toaster, she goes nuts and has to go out on the deck to look for the squirrel.

I swear, the useless facts I have stored in my brain :lol:

Note to self: Always place myself on Julie's Trivial Pursuit Entertainment Edition team....... :rolleyes:

Oh no, more poo crimes :(:(:( Poor little Al, I hope he has an ok day.

Glad to hear it's improved, Nik.... . .Actually, I think a true poo crime is commited by these women who sit in the public stalls, waiting fer you to leave before they unload... . .I mean, c'mon...... . such a silly crime.... . . well, all right, perhaps just a misdemeanor. Drives me nuts, however. They should get ticketed....like a bylaw infraction, er sumfin......... :huh::lol:

2 Julies......2 Lisas......there was 2 Donnas............we are slowly becoming double sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An ark! An ark! My kingdom for an ark!! :lol:

Mygawd!!....big teef :rolleyes: ......the bane of me life pre orthodontic work (and when your teeth seem too big for head..'til you grow into 'em)

Mygawd......when I was a kid, my dad had a popular kids' show on TV, and the main character that he played had HUGE, ridiculous buck teeth. Dad would come home for dinner, then go racing back for evening filming. He'd be dressed as Floyd, and would pull these incredible teeth out of his face and place them behind the table as we sat down. I remember them sitting there, like oversized Chicklets or horse's teeth, and me thinking, "how in hell does he speak wif those things in, let alone get them in his mouth??"

Wait.... . ..think there may be a pic online.......

Okay, it's not really clear, but try and check out the choppers of the guy on the left:

She is a beeeeootiful dog, Soozie. :)

. . . so does the toaster when you push down the lever or when it pops up when it's done. Everytime she hears the toaster, she goes nuts and has to go out on the deck to look for the squirrel.

Does it work the other way? if you go outside and rattle the metal fencing, do yer kids come running into the kitchen yelling, "Toast! Toast! We want sum TOAST!" ?

Nikki--does he still eat things like soy and dairy? I'm wondering if maybe he has become intolerant to something else. Actually, it was dairy that came to mind first, reading of his symptoms.

How does he feel in between these episodes?

Yes, a squirrel-less abyss!!!!!! :( OMG squirrels AND cats - we're coming to live in yer shed! Get ready! :P

Nicola - poor Alan! Does he get feverish when glutened? (I think some do)

What could this be? has he lost significant weight? He has only been with you - at home or on vacation - for weeks now, right?

Mmmm, ok-ish.....but if I'm honest, he's not been himself for quite some time.

Yep, alot of milk in his diet... :(

YES!!!.....this IS the perplexing thing..........he's been with us for almost 6 weeks

Just weighed him....he's lost 14pounds :(

I am a bad mummy :( ......Gee-sus...you could cut yourself on his cheekbones

Gonna start cutting out the obvious, Codex A , you guys familiar with this??

Really don't want to have to cut out dairy if I can help it <_<

...also need to talk my gp into prescribing Ensure again

But now I must watch tv, new series of 'The Riches' (Eddie Izzard, Minnie Driver).....have you seen it????

Why am I strangely drawn to Eddie Izzard?? :unsure::blink::huh:

I think that's a great idea--I would think doing that would give you an indication pretty quickly. I know if I ate according to Codex, I would be continually ill. Keep us posted :)

And one more thing, Nik.....don't you dare call yerself a bad mummy!!! You are a great mum--you'll get to the bottom of this thing with Al. This stuff can get tricky--what works for a while can sometimes prove to be not enough as time goes on. He's probably gotten super sensitive....it sucks, but it's manageable once you know ;)

No yer not a bad mummy!!! Not like he lost that weight overnight . . . it was gradual . . . and if the kids there are like the kids here, all the clothes are loose and baggy . . . would be hard to tell that it's more looser . . . You'll get him straighten out in no time!!

Codex A . . . is that the 200ppm? . . . I'm not familiar with it . . . and I hear you on the dairy. My daughter has always been more dependant on dairy products than she ever was on wheat products.

Lost 14 pounds you say??? Hell!!!! I've got it!!!! It's just sittin' on me arse!!! I shall box it up and send it to you post-haste!!

      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.
