Happy Birthday Julie!!!

Here's to a year filled with more health and well being.

100 pages!!! OMG :o

Someone posted on another thread that they never viewed this topic cuz they thought it was just about me possibly being able to eat dairy. :blink:

:lol::lol: I laughed when I read that....I guess there was a time I thought maybe I could have dairy....when was that? Oh yeah....probably on page 1. :lol:

Happy Brithday Julie!!!!!

Have a beautiful day!!! :)

I posted about this thread on Lynne's thread and someone (I forget who, maybe ChelsE) posted that this was like a bunch of girlfriends at a slumber party. :D I thought it was a good analogy.

Hehe...in other words we scared him off with all our girl talk. :lol::lol:

Hmmm...maybe it was all the stuff about ovaries?? :ph34r:

By the way...my appt. with the OBGYN is tommorrow at 3:30.....hopefully I get something out of that appt. since I've waited a lifetime for it....well, at least 30 pages or so. ;)

Good luck with your appt, Rachel! Ask lots of questions ;)

This thread thing reminds me of when my sister and I talk for 3 hours on the phone. (we live in different states, and don't talk every week). My husband, or hers, will say--so, what did you two talk about? Well, only about 17,000 things, and I can't name one!! :lol:

Patti - - do you not have an unlimited long distance plan? My whole phone bill is $55 a month, covers DSL, all phone services, and unlimited long distance (in the US) - - - can't live without it as friends are scattered everywhere....just think, you could call your sister all the time! :rolleyes:

Rachel - - - hope it's a fruitful appointment!

Susan--I do actually :) I have Verizon that includes unlimited calling and my DSL internet connection (lifeline) :D I think we just get busy, and we know that every time we get on the phone, it's 2-3 hours regardless of how long it's been! She has a full time job and 2 young-ish girls, so we just don't talk as much as we'd like. It is nice, though to not have to "watch the clock" when making phone calls any more!

Patti, too true and too funny.

I think this thread is fabulous. It just strikes me that this is exactly what women do when we get together, we talk about everything and we do that because everything is connected to us. This thread has helped me to understand the frustration I have had on another board that seems to be dominated by men. The discussions are specific to the one topic and then they end which lots of times is just right but sometimes you want something that is broader and deeper than just one topic. This thread contains the community of, seems like, women who show up and anyone is welcome to. It is a gracious space, I have felt so at home and so happy to be here even though I kind of crashed in somewhere around page 76.

It is just the best darn pajama party I have been to in ages. :D:D:D

See ya later, off to pick up my sweetie.

Susan....you have to tell me about this. I'm still using dial-up and let me tell you...it sucks!!! Everyone tells me DSL is expensive. I already pay about $45 for unlimited long disatnce but how do I get the DSL thrown in too? I was told DSL alone costs over $50 a month. :unsure:

I jump into this thread to post the most random things....

I have cable internet (which I think is better than DSL?) and I pay $24/month. You should look into it.

Thanks....I gotta do something cuz I'm spoiled on my Moms computer all week with DSL and then I go home to my computer and I feel like I'm in the stone age or something. :huh:

I get impatient and frusterated.

Jersey...I also dont like to pin much cuz it takes too long on that computer..sorry. :ph34r:

I know you're picking up my slack. ;)

Rachel - - just call SBC and ask what is the best deal they can give you. Tell them your friend gets everthing - caller ID, call waiting caller ID, and one more feature (I think I have call forwarding but don't use it), PLUS DSL, and unlimited long distance. It's soo-per! Also - ask them about their "bundle plans" they were advertising a while ago. Don't know if those still work, but, you should be able to negotiate a good deal wtih SBC, and talk them down - - - they seem to have negotiating powers as I just got my DSL down from 20 to 14 a month, because I knew someone else who had that price.

Please note, it's a two-year commitment, I think, and if you back out early it's something like a $200 fine, so just make sure you can commit to the time. You will LOVE DSL if you've still been using dial-up!

So it's become a pajama party, and I can join in??? :rolleyes: It's such a long thread, every now and then I check in and see that it has nothing to do wtih eating dairy...... :)

Yeah....and for the record I cant eat dairy. It was just some crazy idea I got that didnt last more than a few days at most. :rolleyes:

Too bad I cant go back and change the title...to something like "OMG...I may never figure all this out" "but lets all have a slumber party instead". :P

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By trents · Posted

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
