You gotta figure . . . on all my other posts on the other threads, people have got to be thinking . . . WTH is that in her avatar! :lol:

AHOY ME HEARTIES!!!!

This morning I started to make my smoothie that I eat every morning ... Wild Oats was out of vanilla whey powder, so I have chocolate ... I added a banana and frozen strawberries instead of my usual raspberries ... I put the hand blender in and apparently hit the start button too soon and chocolate smoothie went all over everything.

:rolleyes: Don't you just hate it when that happens?!

I decide to wash my terrycloth robe

This would not be a decision I'd take lightly (and definitely not when herxing!)

My dressing gown as we quaintly call them is thick towelling with a hood and takes bloomin' days to dry ..hours in the dryer.....still damp...Heinous chore <_<

NIKKEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!! You must come for an emergency hair consultation and intervention!!!!!!!!!!

SUSIE !!!! You know I'd be there if you weren't the OTHER SIDE OF MY MAP!!!!!!!! :lol:

Do you remember the beanie hat you had to buy when you dyed your hair & it went green???......time to find it again :rolleyes:

...Yep, it's tout de suite. We anglophones often shorten it to "tout suite", but I don't think the French much like this.

The French don't seem to like anything much ......if you aren't French :lol: (but wait :unsure: ......do the Canadian French have a sense of humoUr????....Sacre Bleu!!!!!!!!!)

BTW I say toute suite and sod the French :lol:

Hehe . . . . . . . .will today become "Talk Like A Pirate About Susie's Hair" Day? :D

Avast ye saucy wenches!!

Bev!! Mention a soy plank agin & ye 'll be kissin the gunner's daughter! Arrrrrrrr!! :angry:

:lol::lol: You're really quite good at the 'pirate talk' Tom!!!!!!!

Begad we be needin' t'punish the blaggard responsible fer that bilge-sucking hair!

By gad we do...arrrrrrrrrrrrr

:lol: invert the troll's hair the other way - I am sure you math geeks have a name for that triangular shape - and that would be more like it.

Isosoles??????? ha ha total guess - I am inumerate ......is that even a word ???

MUST find new stylist THIS MINUTE. The man who colored my hair......I am not kidding - he has become one of the most hated stylists in Fresno. :angry::angry::angry:

You MUST promise NEVER to go back to this EVIL man!!!!!!!!!

Walking the plank is too kind for this swine who created the inverse orange triangle!!!!!! :angry:

Ok, must tend to poor coeliac child who either:

Has a bug or

Has been hideously glutened (when, where???? *sigh* ....who knows????...but he can't seem to get a clear run of even a week lately without this happening) .......... poor chap doesn't know what end to tend to first <_<

I thought I hit quote on Nikki's dressing robe comment ... mine is terrycloth, but it's lightweight, short, and has no hood. It actually washes up nicely. It's still in the 90's here (33 degrees C) ... Way too early in the year for the heavy robe!

You will all be very proud of me, the pathetic li'l struggler in math, with this:

<h1 style="margin: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 6px;">How many oranges in total would there be in a pyramid if the base of the pyramid has 36 oranges and the top of the pyramid has one orange?</h1>

Owwww....my braaaaaiiiinnn......

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Omg, if you put an orange pyramid on your head you will look like a cheese head!!!!

I am now cracking myself up!

Me either ... well, it was on one time at Penn Station (a sandwich shop), does that count?

Oh, drink a mojito for me ... and I think I can speak for Bev, drink one for her, too.

WTH? Miss herxing Lyme Brain actually tries to solve it?

Marge has an incredible head of blue hair that goes staight upwards for several feet. Like the Grand Poobah hats minus the horns. Now, you guys have tolerated my math ignorance, please bear with me for more ignorance: what's in a mojito?

CarlaB Enthusiast
91. Man, I hate math.

How did you get that? I thought it was the area of the base (36), times the height (6) divided by 3?

Nevermind, you can't do it that way. Are you helping someone with their homework???

tom Contributor

"Oh . .. . . My . . .. .. Gawwwwwwwd" is right! Where to start?

Why, w/ the math of course!

Owwww....my braaaaaiiiinnn......

O = sum of n sqrd, for all n from 1 to L, where L=length of one side of the base.

Yup 91.

<and nosoyboy is left trying to figure out why the 108 & 72 happen to differ by 36, the original # in the word problem>

OwOwOw!! now MY brain hurrrrrrrts!! :o

So Scupper THAT mateys!!!

Marge simpson rocks the blue hair. It is huge though.

DingoGirl Enthusiast

an old Havana, Cuba drink, now quite popular in all parts.

White rum, fresh-squeezed lime, simple syrup (sugar and water), and lime sparkling water. YUM!!!!!!!

This lovely libation wasn't yet popular when I was last a drinker.

But . . .uhhhhhh . . . . . .isn't fresh mint smooshed around in the glass w/ a mini baseball bat essential? Muddle mottle huh wth IS that word?

WTH??? STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

:lol: Once the math starts, it gains momentum (p=mv), and just gets harder to stop. The one to blame is the one who started it.

Spent almost 2.5hrs hangin w/ that new forum member, tvhealthfood. The TV is Tri-Valley and he owns a health food store.

Holy crap he knows a TON about health issues!! Spends a lot of time researching.

Plenty of fun talk, too. The time fuuh-Lew!

He has that thread soliciting questions. I wish I had a Q. Maybe I'll just snatch one from the omg thread, tho he's pretty skeptical about the *most* alternative topics.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
    • Ello
      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you
    • trents
      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.
    • Ello
      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response. 
    • trents
      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
