OH!!! ROFL!! :lol:

<tom, palms up, slowly backs away, keeping a wary eye on his adversary>

"Take 1 . . . .. .roll film"

<Marlon Perkins voiceover>

"When confronted by the recently glutened celiacticus clovisivus, it is paramount to avoid further agitation. As we see here, tom's doing his best to avoid eye contact during retreat. . . . . Let's watch what happens next. . . . "

:huh: oh myyyyyyyyyyyyy gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen Ptaum. You are just wildly overanalyzing and overthinking my glutening. and yes, it WAS a glutening - - we all know the distinct signs :ph34r:

OK, Clara Peller, "where's the gluten?".

Seriously, does artificial vanilla have gluten?

And dammit :lol: it's NOT :lol: "wildly overanalyzing and overthinking" :P:lol: to wonder where the gluten is!!

Molecular mimickry can make the immune system think annatto (or is it just the coloring) IS gluten.

Um, halloo? anyone here but me think that Tom needs to introduce just a leet-le bit of soy back into his diet? :blink:

ohhhhhhhhh bah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: (x2)

C'mon Clara . . . . . "where's the gluten?"

P.S. Bah! Only my second over-emoticonizing ever! And this time I say it's Dingy that put it over.

P.P.S. Heyyyyyy Susan's changing avatars too quick!

That >dingo<>Dingy<>dingo< trio was barely seen! (And a reminder of my pre-gluten-free eyesight)

P.P.P.S. Was Nugget-Nirvana achieved?

Mmmm I did like a good nuggtasm in the old days.

P.P.P.P.S. Did I hear we have a reader not neighborly enough to say hello? Awww, the door's always open!

<hushed whisper> ladies and gentleman, it appears there may be an attempt to tie the rarely challenged record quintuple-post postscript . . . . .there's a buzz spreading thru the crowd . . . they appreciate the significance of the moment . . . .

P.P.P.p/'x

Grrrrr double post!

I'd barely hit [ADD REPLY] when my sister called and net stopped!!

She did have a funny story however.

Yesterday, they (her & boys 8 & 3 1/2) were at a friend's who has horses. And the littler guy is scared of 'em.

At some point, my sister, who's allergic to horses but loaded w/ antihistamines & whatever, goes to pet a horse's nose while holding Aidan's hand, hoping to calm his fears.

"See Aidy? They're nice & gentle & . ." <BLAST!!> a massive horse sneeze is ALL over her. ROFL She says <gag> "black boogers & dripping snot everywhere" and the kids and her friend can't stop roaring. :lol: Said she was exTREMEly glad their bags were in the car so she could change clothes.

I wanted it to be on youtube . . . . . .

So a few weeks ago I was having some really bad days and I really wanted to go out and stuff myself-preferably with beer and onion rings, but anything would have done.

Well, I can't do that anymore, so in a desperate attempt to substitute in a new bad habit instead of facing what was bothering me, I bought some lacy undies. As the totally mad lark, I included a pair of thongs (42 yo here).

Finally today I put them on, trusting in what people have told me: The wedgie feeling goes away and they become the most comfortable thing you've ever worn.

Now, it's almost 11am, and I still feel like I have a wad of material stuffed in my heiny. Just when does this feeling go away?????

:lol::lol::lol: It goes away. The nice thing about them is, no panty lines ... and your butt looks much better in jeans than with regular undies. After a while, they'll be all you wear. Don't try to sleep in them until you're used to them ... you'll have nightmares about being ripped in two.

"getting" ?? :rolleyes::wacko::P

I'm just stayin' outta the impending "butt-floss chronicles". :o

P.S. Whoa Dingdong!! Just a cottonpickin' minute young lady!! :angry: You're not getting away so easy w/ no further mention of where the gluten came from!!

Are we sticking w/ the "artificial vanilla" theory?

<wagging finger> now you just march up to your room and think about it until you come up w/ a better story!! :angry:

Uh, yeah, I'm sure you have no opinion on thongs ... are we really supposed to believe that?

This is just one of those deals where it will be more interesting for you to stand back and watch ... I'm certain you have opinions on this subject ... it would be a first if you didn't.

We have no problem w/ a VPL.

I'd liken it to the appeal of the old "x-ray specs" ads in old comic books.

:lol: Jess - - you nutty girl - - I've been wearing a version them since BEFORE there were thongs. Yup, in high school (uh, late 70's folks) I DID in fact BUNCH UP my knickers into a wedge and they were very distractingly noticeable to me in me crack. :ph34r: But I could not stand VPL, even back then. so.......been wearing thongs since FOREVER, and, if you get the right kind, you won't notice them at all after a while.

Doesn't it depend on what the panty lines look like? I mean, if they're granny panties, do you still get the same thrill seeing the lines?

Hehehehehe looks like 7 now w/ the way YOU were talkin, "new mom".

New?

Did you think I was the one with the gray hair??? No, I'm the one in the orange shirt ... the gray haired one is my grandmother.

Or were you referring to me "mothering" you by telling you to eat right. Sorry, I don't even refer to my hubby as one of the children! ;) So, no, it's only six kids for me. I'd like another, but the Lyme won't allow it.

Good point. The less material in the back, the less you notice them ... yours must have too much fabric.

Thank you (on thinking I was one of my kids). :rolleyes:B)

I'm trying to eat, I really am. I've gained 5 pounds and have maintained it! I'm on the weight charts. :) I have to force myself to eat every bite ... I'm just not hungry.

Thanks, but I'm chelating heavy metals right now, so I'm supposed to avoid fish. :( It's a shame, because the braces make it hard to eat regular meat.

I LOVE fish !!!

I'm having a renewed love affair with fish ...and am trying various types out.

I tried 'dab' this week :blink: (very boney) ,mackerel and cod.

Salmon next week maybe :unsure:

Pooh! My recommendation - - Trader Joe's Rice PUdding. OMG, could eat GALLONS of it. Unless of course you must avoid dairy, but I think you're okay with it?

and OMG, did I see queen Julie on the OMG thread? she's BACK?? :rolleyes:

:lol::lol: ...BUT! ....there is always a place in my heart for granny knickers :ph34r:

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat. 
    • trents
      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
