No....it involved religious discussions, I think. that specific thread has been removed. Harumph! I want Vincent back - - I begged him to at least get his mullett-ed self back to 40-something...too much pressure on Richard to sustain ALL the testosterone.........

Too bad! :(

What's going on lately?? :huh:

gotta clean my house, Stepford neighbor is coming by this morning :o:ph34r:

Happy Birthday Tavi! What's a number anyway - it's all about attitude.

Susan - I live south of Seattle. We used to be considered rural, lots of trees everywhere, everyone has at least 1/3 acre, etc. Weyerhaeuser decided to develop some big chunks of land and flattened everything all around our neighborhood. Six houses to an acre! Huge houses with only 10 feet in between them, 6 feet at the eves (sp?).

Rusla - I agree - I actually feel sorry for the coyotes. They lived in those woods with no problems for longer than we've been here, now they're starving and have no place to go. The problem is that our old neighborhood has big yards and lots of wooded areas so they can hide, so they all came here and are eating cats, chickens and anything else they can find. But they can't have my puppy!

Andrea - at some point I might make a trip down to Lingonberries to find stocking stuffers for my kids. It might be cheaper than paying shipping on things like licorice. I'll combine it with a trip to Centralia to the outlet mall there. It would be fun to meet you!

I missed the thread that Vincent had a problem on - is he gone for good? I hope not.

no.....I have a key to her house, she has called me from teh road to let her dog out....IT IS PERFECT - - a sink/countertop/stove that look as though they've never been used...I think she is appalled by my unfinished projects, doesn't comprehend that creativity works at its own pace.....and me? I work even MORE slowly these days...... :lol: Maybe I'll run over there and give her back her...what's it called....some electric sawing thing - to circumvent her trip to my house...brillinat idea!

Liz - - I LOVE SEATTLE and all environs - tried to move there - 15 years ago applied for teaching job on Bainbridge Island - - OMG - when I drove onto Bainbridge, I literally wept - felt as though I'd come home. Can't explain it - have never felt that anywhere else in such an overwhelming way. Maybe I need to vacation there and find a single man with a fabulous cabin-ish abode...

Bev - what say you? ;):lol:

It's definitely beautiful up here, but we try to tell everyone it rains all the time so too many people don't move here. Well, that hasn't worked, it's getting overcrowded... Anyway, I love Puget Sound and all the islands. Have you ever been to the San Juans? I never get tired of our annual camping trip up there.

I hope you have a very happy Birthday, Tavi! :)

I just popped in briefly....I now have internet, phone, and cable TV! I'm surrounded by boxes but I'll be able to check in every so often. I enjoyed the jokes----I need them right now!

By the way-What is Daily Strength? Numerous people have mentioned it and I don't know what site it is?

Back to boxes....but it feels like home already. Now we just have to find my husband a job so he can move up here...its going to get lonely real quick!

Hope yall have a great day....

xoxo

Thanks Laura

I just googled daily strength but haven't had any luck getting on the site yet. I think it's a site for daily strength through a christian perspective. I see a few people from this site posting there. I am trying to check it out but can't seem to get through the sign up process

You are so right. She's got beauty (inside out outside), brains and personality.

Well, since I don't come to celiac.com very often anymore, Mom keeps me updated on where the good conversations are. I heard that this was the place....I wasn't planning on writing anything though until I saw all the "happy birthdays"

The ish's are confusing me :huh: Do you get an ish if you're not forty, yet you still come on? (And thanks for your Fabul-ish Julie :D )

You have been very busy since I've been gone!!

Yes, Morgan is an ish-ish-ish!! And we do hate her hair -- it's always so ugly :rolleyes: She gets up in the morning and it looks great ... I try to fix mine, and it looks like I just got up.

Thanks Andrea ... I musta done something right .... don't know when that happened! :P

Hi MO!!! Did you have fun with Daddy yesterday????

Do you get an ish if you're not forty, yet you still come on?

Yes, if you're in your thirties, you're an ish ... 20's is an ish-ish. As in 40 ish, ish.

Richard, being a man and not a woman, is woman-ish!! :lol::lol:

Oh, he didn't tell me you went to Outback! Did you get a steak, too, or just dessert? Either way, it's better than dorm food!

I went straight to the dessert...it'd be impossible for me to eat a steak too....my stomach doesn't work that way.

      Alcohol

      By James47 · Posted

      So as some of you already know I was 47 turning 48 before my diagnosis so a lot and a lot of internal damage. I no longer obviously drink beer unless gluten-free variants of it but does anyone else really struggle when just drink any sorts of alcohol now. I'm really thinking going tea total and avoiding it completely

      Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend.  Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better!  It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better.  Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime?  You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well.  I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45.  I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a day.  Suddenly I had someone actually listen to me and the testing began.  What I can tell you is use this forum, talk to peers, read everything you can about how to gluten-free your kitchen, encourage your family to participate in your journey (trust me they love you enough to make the effort), how to order food in restaurants, and how to avoid cross contamination.  Accept that you will make mistakes and allow yourself grace as you implement your new normal and have a clear understanding that going gluten free will begin healing your body in ways that you will not even begin to understand until you actually do it.  So, have faith that the nutrient deficiencies that you are probably experiencing right now can be corrected and you are on a bright path to feeling SO much better.  Think about how incredible your mom journey is about to become as you begin to feel better!!  Your kids are going to be amazed at your energy levels, ability to play and go do stuff...you are leveling up knowing that you have Celiac.  Knowing gives you power my friend, harness it and have gratitude that it was discovered...even if the docs missed it - you know now and keep moving forward.  You got this!!

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
