I wish we had a section for humor! I had no idea where to put this. Please move it if there is a better spot.

The other day some friends were talking about giving things up for lent. I smiled and said I gave gluten up :D My dh is not sure if it should "count". I laughed and said he was just jealous because every year he has to think of something! Not me :) I jokingly said that since I give something up all year I am extra special! We had a good laugh :lol:

Me too me too! I will give up all chocolate that contains gluten, all candy that contains gluten, all cakes that contain gluten, all cookies....hhhhmmmm what else? How about all breads that contain gluten....and oh yeah everything except fish, chicken fruits and veggies.

Sheeesh, the sacrifice practically qualifies us for sainthood at this point!

I had a well-timed dx, I'm so hardcore that I'm giving up gluten forever!

Or, I could be more specific and say that I gave up bread. Or cake. Or cookies. Or communion wafers.

Beatify THAT :D Pope Benedict XVI!!!!!

erm, I hope lightning isn't in the forecast, cause I'm pretty sure that was blasphemy :ph34r:

I just burst out laughing!!!!! OMG- I can't stop. Actually, here's a link to photos that explain why gluten is so important to the Catholic Church (It's OK- I was raised Catholic- I'm in recovery).

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
