Yea, I can just picture it, the celiac with her butt hanging over the edge of a balloon! :lol:

I think that's the universal signal for "send toilet paper"

Just the thought of having to...um...use snow for that purpose is making my bum crinkle. You know, like that feeling when you peer over a ledge at a thousand-foot drop? Bum-crinkling. I dunno how else to describe that. :lol::lol:

The only thing I can liken it to is if you've ever put your hands into really hot dishwater and not expected it to be so HOT, you jump around and wave your hands "HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT!!" it was like that in reverse.

:o

Or the universal signal for "duck and get out of the way" :lol:

...Look, up in the sky,

It's a bird,

It's a plane,

It's...It's...It's Gluten Intolerant and it appears to be having a bad day! Run, Run for your lives!

I like the analogy of "HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT" only in reverse! That about says it all!!!

Still saying though, to be able to ask for TP in a pub . . . he's got ummmmm......still politically correct, "the goods." :lol::lol::lol:

Reminds me of the song "Stranded" that we used to sing when we were kids . . . . !!!!!!!!!!

I think we women find ourselves stranded in restrooms without said toilet paper because we go through more of it, i.e., we use it for...both...so it needs more replacing. I've been stuck and had to use a cheque...can anyone beat that for crazy-things-I've-used-in-lieu-of-TP? Besides Triticus Toxicum's snow, of course... :lol:

Yep, I recently bought a computer peripheral and on my way home was struck down.

The nearest loo was a disgusting portaloo..... but at this point I knew I had seconds, not minutes so I went ahead and .................... then I ripped open the shrink wrap packaging and started with the instructions in Russian, Arabic and Polish etc. working towards more useful languages ....

So, you started with the Russian...I hope you were able to avoid the use of our good King's English, and please tell me you spared le Francais!

I just thought this: what a way for a person to void a cheque!!

You guys are cracking me up!!

Funny how many languages the directions come in ... one day I gave up finding the English instructions and just read the Spanish. My son started reading over my shoulder and couldn't believe it. I said it was easier to read them in Spanish than to find them in English!! So, I hope you saved the Spanish ones, too.

Ok time for some totally useless information...

All of this bathroom talk got me to thinking about adult diapers. Thinking about adult diapers I remember reading somewhere that when astronauts go "spacewalking" they wear adult diapers. This raises a question and simultaneously answers another. The question being, how is it that we can design all of the necessary technology to put somebody into space, but once they're out there they're just hoping the TANG doesn't disagree with them? The question is answers, how come those guys always work so fast when they are out on a spacewalk? Don't they always seem to finish in record time? It's because they are trying to get inside before they wet themselves! :blink:

That mysterious object that floated out of the cargo bay last week was probably a Diaper Genie that wasn't lashed down!

Diaper space junk...

You'd think the astronauts have been outfitted with diapers so that they in fact would be totally relaxed when out on their spacewalks. "Oops...gotta go...but hey, it's all good, 'cause I'm wearing my Pampers Ultra-man Pull-ups! I can just take my time collecting these samples. Thanks, Pampers!"

Hey, I smell a very effective advertising campaign. :lol:

Is Wally Schirra still around? He's the former astronaut that did the Sudafed (nasal decongestant) commercials in the states back in the 70's and 80's...He would be my choice as pitchman. He has "experience" as both a pitchman and as an astronaut in diapers.

See, are we not the MOST innovative, BRILLIANT group of collective thinkers you've ever seen? These companies should monitor our threads, because quite frankly, they could make a BUNDLE.

GFP -- I like it a LOT that you used the instructions!! That was beautiful . . . let's me know now what I need to do with the instructions that I get in Japanese when I purchase something. And I mean ONLY Japanese. What in the heck are you supposed to do when your product arrives with instructions in Japanese? My daughter is the one who speaks and reads that . . . she's in Lexington. My son? Spanish. Me? English - and American English at that, which we all know is NOT necessarily one of the "beautiful languages".

Sure it is, with that southern drawl!! You and Steve, if you ever see each other in person, will have a hard time understanding each other!! You'll have to write things down!

I have a pretty plain midwestern accent ...

Figures a man would use instructions to wipe his .... we all know they don't actually read them!!

That is a great enviornmentally friendly idea...I think I'll just fold up all the instructions that my husband has immediately discarded from new purchases, and put it all in a nice basket holder in the bathroom for him to wipe his...

I love it! :)

Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks. Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference. Then after...

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
