Daring doctors delve deeply, discovering diseased duodenae, distorted ducts and diverticulosis; don't doubt diagnosis!!!

Well psills, once more back into the fray after a five-day hospital detour for fluid on (and in) the lungs :huh::unsure::wacko: No diagnosis, so we'll see what eventuates. That stuphph gets awfully boring after a while. So here's your funny for today:

TODAY'S ENGLISH LESSON

No dictionary has been able to explain adequately the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. However, at a recent linguistics conference held in London, England, and attended by some of the best linguists in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese, was the clear winner.

His final challenge was this: Some say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. Please explain the difference in a way that is easy to understand.

Here is his astute answer: "When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE, but when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED"

His answer was given a standing ovation and it entitled him to receive an invitation to dine with the Queen.

So shadowicewolf can say that when her finals (exams and papers) are COMPLETE, she is FINISHED with the semester (but not completely finished.

Expiditiously - it always sounds like you are setting out on a great journey, but in reality you are just supposed to be moving your butt!!!! :lol:

Thanks for your thoughts and wellness wishes. Seems like this may be an ongoing problem, unfortunately :(

HaHa, haha, some of the hospital staff are glad I'm gone, I think :P I seem to have been on a grammatical kick lately, and it was driving me INSANE, the po-lite-ness with which I was being treated. Would you mind if I examined your back? :blink: Would it be all right if I lifted up your shirt? :rolleyes: Is it all right if I .... come around this side of the bed... remove your drip line.... etc., etc. Mind you, in some ways it was refreshing, but enough is enough.

So, instead of "Let me see your ID bracelet", I would get "Can you tell me your name and date of birth?" Eventually, (they had obviously been trained this way because they all did it) I just replied "Yes." An intervening expectant pause...... "Well?" Me: "I answered your question." Puzzled look :wacko: Then me: "Oh, you actually wanted me to do it. In that case you should ask 'will you please?' rather than 'Can you?' " Puzzled look of chagrin!! I almost got them trained, by explaining that when they said 'can' I wasn't sure if they were inferring mental incompetence or physical incapacity :P:rolleyes:

I wonder if you can get the Bisquick in Windsor? Perhaps some one should build another bridge!!? LOL :rolleyes:

Shroom ~ The only thing that I know of that has a food reaction and fluid on the lungs is, Lysinuric Protein Intolerance (LPI).

I noticed there was a little dark dot on KC.

We went to San Diego once for Thanksgiving a few years ago. It was quite cool. Didn't stop my boys ( hub included) from building skate parks/ mountain bike trails on the beach. We don't do sand castles!

Your men fit well here....we never made sand castles -- only huge pits at the top of high tide line which auto fill into pool for a bit then destroy the days work -- only had a few tears when they were little - grown now and they still dig even larger pits with their friends :)

PS...January, June and November are the toughest bet for picture perfect weather. Late Sept/Early October best bet.

We escaped Sannazay one early December because it was freezing there -- early 70's, permafrost on the ground -- and hung out in SD; brilliant ideah !!! Then we had to return to the reality of making Christmas in Sonoma for MIL... :wub::rolleyes:

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By Beverage · Posted

      I'd like to suggest nuts.com. They have a gluten-free section. I've never had an issue  and their nuts are super fresh tasting. I eat them every day as afternoon snack.  They label the packages as gluten-free, and more and more as Certified gluten-free. Here's their statement on gluten free:   Gluten-Free The FDA is the only regulatory agency that oversees all claims about food, including the use of gluten-free. A product can be labeled "gluten-free" if it contains less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Other third-party certification programs have developed processes and standards for their “Certified Gluten-Free” labels. Some of our gluten-free products are certified by the Gluten-Free Food Program (GFFP), the most comprehensive certification program endorsed by the National Celiac Association. Our certified products contain less than five parts per million (ppm) of gluten.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By Beverage · Posted

      My D was always low. It got better with gluten free diet, but was always below range or barely in range. I tried increasing D vitamins, found that K2 helps absorption of D. It improved a bit, yet remained on low end of ok range. After covid and bad flu years, i really wanted to get my D way up. We live in the Pacific Northwest, do lots outside 3/4 of the year, but sunshine is not abundant here in winter, when you are covered up anyway. I finally bought a vitamin D lamp. I doubt that the cheapie ones sold on places like Amazon are effective. Sperti makes one that uses florescent tubes, but I went with the Chroma LED Vitamin D lamp. They're not cheap, but I'm feeling a big difference. I haven't had my D levels checked yet since starting it this winter, but my hair has been growing in thicker like crazy, which is a sign of good D levels. Also, in spite of being around a few people who were ill, we haven't been sick with cold or flu...knock on wood. You will need more D than what is in your milk. Take a good high dose D3 and make sure it includes K2, or take a separate K2 at same time as D. I've been taking Life Extension Super K. Vitamin D needs acidic stomach to absorb, so don't take with anything that suppresses stomach acid. Get more sunshine 🌞 If all that doesn't get your D levels up, consider a vitamin D lamp, which I consider the best investment I ever made.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Hi Knitty! Thanks for the reply! I can do squat but with alot of trouble and power. I will take all You advices in consideration and explore them further.... I am really lost in all of this...i mean villious atrophy can create soy, gluten, milk, casein....i mean what is left to eat? So when i had first EGD histology was MArsh 3b. After 1y on gluten free diet and smaller intake of milk (mainly i was eating and drinking lactose free products) histology was OK and Villi was normal...although marked as "please repeat EGD because one of the sample was not representative". But mi Gastro doc says it is OK and i can continue gluten free diet. So my questions are: 1.can i eat milk now or i am still trouble with casein/lactose...?  2. Can casein create villous atrophy in duodenum  because i need to repeat in some time new EGD due to semi faulty histology sample? Also BEST WISHES for NEW YEAR and Hollidays for everyone in this community!!!

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Hello! I would appreciate help understanding my 17 year old daughter’s celiac panel.  Symptoms are general stomach discomfort, daily headaches (for years), fatigue. My husband is in process of being diagnosed as well.  test results: Demidiated Gliadin Abs, IgA - negative  Demediated Gliadin Abs, IgG - negative  tTG IGA - negative  endometrial antibody IgA - negative  tTG- igG - weak positive Immunoglobulin A, Qn, serum - *low* 72 (range is 87-352) vitamin D also very *low* at 21 (range 30-100) From what I’ve read the combination of deficiencies in vit d and immunoglobulin A plus weak positive tTG-IgG can indicate Celiac disease.  Thoughts?

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      By Sharke · Posted

      Just the blood tests originally, which lead to the biopsy. The original blood tests and what they provided are lost, though I don't recall any hard evidence that it was related to celiac. They found a few polyps, but couldn't link them to celiac or gluten-intolerance. I have been under my own and my doctor's assumptions this whole time.
