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

...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! :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      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.
