I WISH so bad it was my dog, but it's not. Actually, Viola sent it to me because when I first joined the board she PM'd me to find out about my user name: Berneses and if I had a Bernese Mountain dog. I told her that i didn't, but wanted one more than anything and she sent me some great shots she had. I'm not sure where she found this one (there are a few Berners in her dog club). I have never met a Bernese Mountain Dog I didn't like.

As soon as we get a house I am going to have 50 running around the back yard. Actually, I was the one who was going to start the Bernese Mountain Dog Center for People who Can't Digest Good ( from Zoolander) where the gluten-free food flows and the puppies run amok! B

I always thought it was Burmese, DUH!!!! :P

Guest BERNESES

That's so funny- I did too! I was like, "Wow! These dogs come from Burma- cool!" the first time I met one. Then I googled it and I was like "Oh, duh!" I guess they're from the Bernese region of the Alps. A little less exotic, but still beautiful doggies.

And I could still use that puppy hug as it seems some posters are still feeling feisty. WTH is going on? Was it really a full moon? maybe some people haven't recovered yet. Jeez! B

Guest BERNESES

People have definitely NOT recovered- this place is starting to make me really mad. Maybe I'm the one who needs a break.

Just let it roll off your back, I already learned that lesson......

Oh my God! that "Leave my Wife Alone" picture is GREAT! Is that Mr. Canadian Karen? He looks like a hockey player. Where in Canada are you? B

Yep, that's Mr. Canadian Karen, a.k.a. Terry. Hockey player? I WISH! Nope, he's a teacher (he teaches Grade 3). I was born and raised in a suburb of Toronto called Scarborough (home of Mike Myers), but a year ago moved the family about 45 minutes east of Toronto.

Oh no,and it's in the thread I started :(

Hey maybe it's the time of year?

I need Karen's shell to hide in-tell me when it's safe to come out! :unsure:

Chin up!

Karen,I'm loving your 'Mr Canadian Karen' avatar.LOL ;)

Guest BERNESES

Nikki- In no way is what's going on your fault! And don't you DARE feel bad. You already have enough to deal with. Maybe we can just get a big turtle shell and all crawl inside together.

All i was trying to do was keep the thread productive in helping you but apparently I am now a "cry-baby" "whiner" and a tattle tale. How's that for adult language? grrrrrrr. Maybe I need to post a picture of a Doberman instead of a puppy.

Canadian Karen Community Regular

Throw your hubby up there!

Nikki, don't you think in any way, shape, or form that you are in any way responsible for that. There just seems to be many differences of opinion here lately...... How is your hubby?

Hugs.

Karen

Yep - I do! Never met a real Canadian I didn't like come to think of it. My husband, flying beagle and I often contemplate moving up there but I don't know if you'd have us. especially the beagle- it hurts when he lands on your face.

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
