Laughter Is Healing

I promise not to make this a place for my own personal critique on everything I watch, but I just wanted to share this one thing because laughter is soooo healing and we all could use that.

 

I watched the most hilarious Ellen Degeneres stand up routine from 2000, called "Ellen, The Beginning" It was so hilarious, I can't think when I've laughed that much watching anything. Everyone has a different sense of humor I know, but if you like Ellen and you need a good laugh, as we all do at times, check it out. I like Ellen because she is not mean spirited and doesn't make fun of other celebrities in place of actual humor. Also because she feels for those who are less fortunate. It's refreshing, or at least I think so.

 

And... it's on youtube for free! :) Lots of amazing things to watch are. How great is that?

 

If Ellen's not your thing watch something else that makes you laugh. I keep a list of movies I know will make me laugh when I need to. It works wonders!

Want a giggle? John Pinette's bit about eating gluten free is HYSTERICAL.

I have to agree. Everyone here should see that, it is hysterical, boy can we relate. Also, I love that guy, never seen him before. Stand up comedy can be so.... what's the word... un-funny!!! Glad to learn about a good one. Thanks :)

Oh guys...it is absolutely fantastic...my son does a perfect impersonation of it....yet...s$#&...no easy way to say this...he passed away this week...same day as Mickey Rooney :(

 

So sad, he was exceptionally funny!  Hang on going to find the link...

 

 

and he does more...some find it off putting but we laugh our collective asses off.

 

And Bunnie is spot on...laughter is always a the best path thru a tough time.  :)

THANK YOU!

I love how the ad before one of his videos markets a product called Poo-Pourri. It's the only YouTube ad I've watched the whole way through!

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      I finally got rhe answer and Tylenol is ok. Thanks everyone

      If you're still eating gluten, I'd ask your doctor for a proper blood panel, specifically tissue transglutaminase IgA, total IgA, and maybe deamidated gliadin peptide tests. Home tests aren't always reliable. Since you mentioned fatigue and weight loss, it's worth checking for nutrient deficiencies too (iron, B12, vitamin D). Even if it's not Celiac, those labs can point to malabsorption issues.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!
