Would love to, you guys have a blast in the "B" household :lol:

Morgan could give me hair tips too :)

We do have a blast. Morgan is no good at all with hair tips ... hers just looks that way. Trust me, I've tried to get her to teach me, but she does nothing to it!!

I'm sure the weight will fall off as easily as it piled on ... if gluten caused it, gluten-free will fix it! Don't worry too much.

You've never once had me do your hair, you'll just ask me how your's looks and then tell me how terrible mine looks

I've got to get the baby boy to bed. By the time I get back you all will probably be gone. :(

Such is life with little ones. :P I miss most of the fun this time of evening though. Gotta let Mitch on for awhile too. He is usually on while I'm waiting for Seth to go to sleep. He's into playing in the crib now that he can stand up. So now it takes longer for him to settle down and go to sleep.

I look, thanks. :)

G'nite Penguin. :)

Come back tomorrow and tell us whats up with the challenge....is it officially over today? Does this mean you've had your biopsy?? How did it go??

Didnt you lose weight the first time you went gluten-free.....I'm sure the weight will come off once you're back on the diet. Are you all glutened out now...did you at least have donuts at all during the challenge??

I miss donuts....I see them all day at work...see people eating them....smell them baking...dang....I wish I could at least have a Kinnickinnick donut. Even those rock hard frozen things look pretty darn appealing to me. Gaaaawd....if I ever bought a bag of those theres no doubt I would Rachel them...it would probably be some kind of record or something.

Isnt it sad that our donuts come frozen in a bag? :blink:

How come noone makes fresh donuts...the kind that are still warm and soft?? This is something I need to put on my "lifetime" list. One day I will have a soft warm delicious gluten-free chocolate donut. :)

Wow.....I think I've had too much sugar today and now I want more and more and I'm now rambling on about donuts.... :ph34r:

I think its time for bed.

G'nite everyone. :)

Congratulations Ryan on the Greenland job transfer. You must tell us all the Greenland "inside info" .

Hey did anyone see the Anthony Bourdain -Beirut special on "No Reservations" last night? (travel channel) Unbelievable -he went to do a cooking show and ended up stranding when the bombing started. I missed the first half :( .

Andrea, it is good to see you are still your perky organized sweet self.

Susie-dingo--How are the girls, the decorating and the cement staining going? Also, in the-matters of the heart-you are in my thoughts and prayers :) .

I have an announcement:

THE GLUTEN CHALLENGE IS OVER!!!!

Praise God! The tooth fairy! Santa Claus! The Pillsbury Doughboy!

Funny thing is that right now I'm so preoccupied with weight watchers that I'm barely noticing the gluten-free thing. DH had to remind me to read labels in the store, although everything I picked up is in my gluten-free rotation, I did double check labels, though. I like gluten-free food better, anyway :P

Yes, I ate donuts while I was on the challenge just because I could, I don't even like donuts. I ate tons of muffins though, and an entire pizza yesterday :ph34r:

The biopsy went fine, not quite sure what the dr said, as I was out of it and Adam wasn't paying that much attention. :rolleyes: I guess he said that everything looked normal, except that my intestine was a little red, but he had no reason to suspect celiac damage. At any rate, he did biopsies (I think around 8, that's what he said in the appt) that I'll have results on by the end of the week and put me on the gluten-free diet. Boo. Now to get all of my family members tested :rolleyes:

Chelse, I am so excited for you!!!!! Congratulations on making it through to the biopsy, and best of luck getting started with your new gluten-free life :):)

Hi Robbin :)

Good luck Morgan with no sugar today! I like your new picture :)

I never really ate a whole lot of donuts in my lifetime, but after becoming gluten-free I wanted them so bad :lol:

You know what are so good? Imo at least, the Enjoy Life Foods cinnamon bagels, not really donut like but a distant runner up. Unfortunately there is amaranth flour in them and I am avoiding all gliadin grains as well :(

SusanW- that's cute your daughter took the picture, she did a good job!

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.
