Mygawd...there are a whole slew of us posting.....what in hell do we all have to say? :lol:

Jess, that is a beautiful little boy! The accent does sound somewhat English, but perhaps more Afrikkaner (Southern Africa - - slight Dutch lilt)......hmmmmmm....tres interessant.....

Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour.

When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you?

:lol::lol: Great one, Janet

Sarah, being is a mom is so hard. Bless you for trying so hard. Sounds like your such a good mom.

I absolutely second this, Judy.... ..so well said. Your kids are so lucky to have you, Sarah! :wub::)

Are yer saying it right Susie??? :unsure:

(she pronounces it wrong you know :rolleyes: )

Nicola! Souzzle has put out yer name with the stress on the first syllable. Could it be in the unusual, fetching positon of second syllable? Ni-CO-la.....

Or p'raps you were catching the long vowel sound on the first syllable, when it should be short.....Ni-cola, not Nee-cola.

Mygawd.....how boring. :lol: Please ignore the last ramble. Me and my schwa, diphthong, cadence obsession.....

I believe it depends on what nationality she's masquerading as. I would say Ni CO la sounds Italian, while NI cola comes off as Greek. Equal stresses, hmm, maybe seductive French NI CO LA? And Nico LA? Russian?

Excellent - - but if you did it in Fresno in July, they'd, um, both be DEAD :blink:

:lol::lol: Here too, or anywhere in the dead of summer.....OMG, makes me think about all the idiots that leave their pets or kids in a car for a long period of time.

Boris - poor wee kitty. I don't really like vaccines for pets - - I do rabies and that's about it - - Tika, after her cancer treatment, never had a shot again - and she lived ELEVEN whole years after chemo, in superb health!

I don't either, my Palmer got so very sick and reacted to the vaccines the first few ones he had so after that I no longer vaccinated him.

You guys wanna hear something incredibly stupid? :ph34r:

I took the bag out of the fridge today and put on me reading glasses and saw the warning--made on the dreaded shared equipment as wheat.

Does anyone think this may have contributed to the elevated liver enzymes? One was slightly high right before I was diagnosed, and went back to normal by 6 months gluten-free.

I'm really embarassed :ph34r:

Patti, don't beat yourself up, this is really easy for any of us to do. They are changing labels all the time and being more specific about labeling if there are shared lines or shared facilities, you would think plain nuts would be safe so i understand you not giving it a second thought.

I guess it could contribute to the elevated liver enzymes :huh: Can you talk to your Dr about it?

What she said.

Wouldn't you rather have your problems attributable to a momentary lapse in diligence, rather than some body part staging a rebellion?

Hee hee--I'm back after me tirade! :lol:

I just told Mark on the phone--he was really nice and just said that it's better I found out late than never. :)

Anywho.....

Jess--that little Riley is adorable, and does have a bit of an accent. :D And you're right about the rebellion--the timing is just too perfect.....

Julie :wub:

Sarah! Hope ya'll get to the library for some cool, quiet time :)

Mygawd, Patti, I can't tell you the number of times this has happened to me.....I'm fairly lazy about re-reading labels, much to my peril, it would seem. Incredible to me is the number of companies who suddenly decide to put wheat in their products. :angry::angry:

I believe it depends on what nationality she's masquerading as. I would say Ni CO la sounds Italian, while NI cola comes off as Greek. Equal stresses, hmm, maybe seductive French NI CO LA? And Nico LA? Russian?

Yep. Canadian would be the addition of an entire new syllable......Nicola-eh.

:rolleyes:

So, MIL flew off last evening.

Hmm......now, which emoticons to choose.. . ...?

Boy, that's a toughie...... . . . . .

Lemme ponder this for a while... . . ....

Ah!

OMG.....We should do this. We should start a thread and call it just that: Ednazone - - for those who need help with Edna. Can you picture the expressions on all the non-Sillies' faces?

:huh::huh::huh:

Who is Edna?? Is she a new, troublesome forum member? Have I read her posts? Is she inappropriate or profane??

Then they would pause for only a moment, and slowly shake their heads...."Ah......but of course. It's those individuals on THAT thread".............

Sarah- (((((((((((Hugs))))))))). I think you sound a lot like my mom -she would have sat up with me ALL night if I needed her.And the withdrawal you are going through sounds BRUTAL. I've heard people describe this and it sounds so terrible. Wish we could come down, open a bottle of wine and hire someone to massage your feet! :wub: :wub: :wub: You can ALWAYS vent here.

Bunk beds :lol: :lol:

I always think it such a waste when one has some innocuous internal thing removed, such as a gallbladder, tonsils, appendix, stones of whatever sort.....being an artist, I will always see everything as a possible piece of work.

Patti, if you have your gb removed, ask for it....you could have it incorporated into a sculpture that forever evolves, grows and changes. :blink::lol:

Em, you so crazy!!!!!!!!! I asked for my gall stones and they said NO :angry: I wanted to put them on a necklace :lol: :lol:

Patteigh! My friend in San Jose had elevated liver enzymes for a full decade - - drove her insane - and she is about as puritanical and healthy as you can get (LITERALLY takes about - four aspirins a YEAR - very light drinker, VERY healthy eater, etc.)....

NIcola sent the phunniest email of my life..........'twas a full recounting of her day................

NEEK-oh-lahhhhhhhhhhh...............asking permission to publish here, please :lol: :lol:

Patti I hope all goes well- and Suze, hope Weezie is OK too. Mine have randomly gone up before and then back down. I'm telling ya, I think we all have the weirdest bodies. Could we be our own species? Homo Psillius?

Nikkeigh- You MUST post your phunny diary!

I took the bag out of the fridge today and put on me reading glasses and saw the warning--made on the dreaded shared equipment as wheat.

OH PATTI!! :(

You and Terry both!!!!

GADS - Happens to the best of you - it ain't easy this cOeliac game :rolleyes:

Hope the effects wear off soon P'tea :) (Tel has swollen joints but negative toilet action so far )

Tel said the annoying thing is is that if he was going to 'intentionally' gluten himself he would have had a jam doUGHnut!!! :lol:

B) Very chic Nikki

Jules, I simply canNOT tell you how good I looked in 'em ;)

Poor little wee Boris, I know nothing of cats and vaccinations, but my dog used to get sooooo sick after every one.

I ain't gonna bother with 'em anymore

Lucy my 'old' cat never had any jabs.......poor BoBo (Boris) still seems 'fluey' :(

Jess, that is a beautiful little boy! The accent does sound somewhat English, but perhaps more Afrikkaner (Southern Africa - - slight Dutch lilt)......hmmmmmm....tres interessant.....

Very cute chap!!...but YES!, I concur with Em, sounds Afrikkans :) (short and clipped?)

Nicola! Souzzle has put out yer name with the stress on the first syllable. Could it be in the unusual, fetching positon of second syllable? Ni-CO-la.....

AND...

I believe it depends on what nationality she's masquerading as. I would say Ni CO la sounds Italian, while NI cola comes off as Greek. Equal stresses, hmm, maybe seductive French NI CO LA? And Nico LA? Russian?

:blink:

I dunno how to describe the right sound,

Suzle says Neek-cola (coca-cola sound)

We Brits say Nik- er-ler :huh::lol:

And the lemon tarts! :drool:

Nikki!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: It's your commentary that's so fab! :lol:

The science guy at the library today was a MAD Scientist!!! He was hilarious, and at the end, he said, "So! Science is BORING, RIGHT???" All those kids screamed "NO!" so loudly, it rattled the windows. :D Mommy is pleased.

I made dairy-free corn dogs for lunch today. At first, I was flummoxed as to how to make the batter without milk... Then I just said, "Phark it, ya make polenta with water, what's the worst that could happen?" (I didn't really say phark- I'm kind of a potty mouth. :ph34r: ) They turned out fine. The coating was a little more delicate than normal, but tasted pretty much the same.

Going to attempt df pizza tonight. My crust recipe is df already, and I happen to have some df "mozzarella" that I bought as a just-in-case... I gotta hunt down a pizza sauce recipe, though... all I have is a can of tomato paste. I'm pretty sure I can do something to it to turn it into sauce... :huh:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
