I can remember those days... I used to throw them up on the counter, look the cashier right in the eye think to myself "yeah, I'm getting some tonight - you got a problem with that?"

:P

:lol::lol:

It was more of the combination....drinking, pooping, sex :D .....considering it was ALL we bought (around 10 pm on a Friday night). It looked rather "amusing"

:lol::lol:

Now there's a date for ya! :P

yup, I'd take it.... ;) (not necessarily in that order - probably pooping last)

She's not ill-tempered though.

Someone should send her a pm inviting her to this thread. Laura could use another ish-ish. Were there any other ish-ish's?

I'm an ish-ish!! About half-wayish to fortyish :lol:

I was going to try to stay and play but I need to go lay down; I was an idiot last night and ate something when I wasn't sure if it was safe or not....I'm paying for it now :(

Look forward to catching up later!

hahahaha, Patti, that made me laugh.

One of my personal favorites was buying beer (for hubby), Imodium in large quantities (for me), and um, "protection" (for both of us, so yall figure that one out.) I stood in line with a straight face and was beet red.

Back before I was Catholic (now it's all a matter of timing things), the funniest was when Adam bought a bottle of wine, a box of "protection", and a package of diapers!!! :lol:

Still premature posting....

Reading about nail polish and movies. :D

I'm like Liz....a grown-up TOMBOY....I could never deal with nail polish...plus I was always biting my nails off anyway. All I have to say is thank Gaaaaawd I wasnt swallowing them! GROSS! :blink: I think I have enough problems already...balls of nails in my tummy....now that would really SUCK! (as if my other stuff doesnt suck :rolleyes:)

When I hit 30 for some reason I became more girly...dunno what happened. :huh: Yes...I'm still tomboy but now I actually have dresses and femine clothes....I also wear bras now. Real bras...not sport bras. :P

Oh...and then I started painting my nails....ALL THE TIME. :o

My nails grow pretty fast and decent now that I dont chew them off....thing is that since I got sick they are kinda weird. Like SUPER hard...cant explain it....they dont really break cuz they're almost indestructible now. My mom says this is a good thing....I'm thinking NO....not a good sign. If they do break its almost like breaking a piece of plastic. Part of its broken and I have a hard time just breaking the whole thing off so I can just get on with my day.

I dont paint my nails anymore cuz the fumes would probably make me delerious...BUT I miss painting them. :(

When I used to wear polish it would only last about 2 days and they'd be all chipped...looking like I had put the polish on a month before. Even though I'm sensitive I'd still try to wear polish if it at least lasted longer than 2 days. I cant be reapplying the stuff that frequently....so NO polish for me.

I do wear lipgloss....clear only though. I wear it over my lipstick....I cant have no gloss on my lips...it drives me crazy.

Favorites movie....I'll have to ponder this. I LOVE romantic comedies...suspense, its all good except the Sci-Fi stuff....I cant deal with that. Romantic comedies though....even though they are WAY too predictable. :)

What else???

Oh yeah...Susan NOOOOO....You musnt get sucked into the Krispy Kreme donuts world! Who knows what could happen??? :unsure:

Think about the nuggets addiction....what if this happened with gluteny donuts?? Would we ever see you again?? :o

Have to say....I never had a Krispy Kreme. :(

Took the whole thing for granted....thought they'd always be there....putting it off for another day. You never know what you COULD have had...until its gone. <_<

Oh well....when I'm all better I'm headed there myself. I gotta find out if I'm really gluten intolerant at some point right?? Might as well start with a Krispy Kreme donut....my first one ever!! :D

Be back later for more catching up.

I always wondered if that worked...guess not :unsure:

I don't know, I met a woman once who used it, she was older than I was, and her eyes looked GREAT!! There is an old picture of Adam and I on his dresser from 1999, I look older, had bags under my eyes, and my face was puffy. gluten-free is a beauty secret in its own right!

They even use duct tape as a "lift" for their assets.

No, no, no, it's masking tape ... imagine pulling duct tape off!!!! I've used that secret since I was about 16. The first time I did it around hubby, he couldn't imagine what I was doing!!!! :lol: Once at the academy awards one of the stars used a little too much and it was showing! :huh:

OMG--that is SO true! I have a picture that was taken about 5 months before my dx. I was at a function, so I was dressed up, had makeup on and thought I looked ok. I felt awful, though. Anyway, I came across it recently and scanned it onto the computer. What a difference between that and the picture that was my former avatar. The difference in my face was astounding! I wish I could put up a 'before and after.'

My daughter had a friend in HS who made her prom dress out of duct tape and her date made a tux. She said it was really pretty! But, they don't stick it to the body for clothes.

This is the second time today I've read about this appropriately named bread -- at least they have a sense of humor! WHERE CAN I BUY SOME!!!!

Don't be scared, I am here ... just got back from washing my car -- even had enough energy to vacuum it out and clean the windows!! Then I went to the grocery and bought myself a porterhouse steak -- I always have leftovers for breakfast, nothing as good as steak and eggs!! Now, I need to get cooking!! Then, relaxation for the rest of the evening, I'm supposed to be banking this energy, not using it.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8, Yes, the bloodwork is confusing.   One has to be eating a sufficient amount of gluten (10 grams/day, about 5-6 slices of bread) in order for the antibody level to get high enough to be measured in the bloodstream.  If insufficient amounts of gluten are eaten, the the antibodies stay in the small intestines, hence the statement "tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet."  The bloodwork reflects anemia.  People with anemia can have false negatives on tTg IgA tests because anemia interferes with antibody production.  Diabetes and Thiamine deficiency are other conditions that may result in false negatives.  Anemias, B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, Thiamine deficiency and gastritis are common in undiagnosed Celiac disease.    The DGP IgG antibody test should be given because your daughter is so young.  Many young people test positive on DGP IgG because their immune systems are not mature and don't produce IgA antibodies yet.  Your daughter has several alleles (genes for Celiac disease).   Your daughter needs to be checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Iron (ferritin) B12, Vitamin D, Thiamine and Vitamin A should be checked.   Were any biopsies taken during the endoscopy? Keep us posted on your progress.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.
