and I'm not going to tell you guys when I do.

but you must

In the interest of science, experiments and results must be published.

"pshaw, screw science" you say?

<take 2>

For the benefit of every one of your deglutenized colleagues, anecdotes of cheating and its consequences, or lack thereof, can provide CRUCIAL information.

(or, for YOUR benefit, don't ffffff arkin cheat at ALL!!)

Even Johnny Cochrane says "if you do the test, you must confess"!!! :o

The reckless feckless femme is most uncooperative!

I didn't want to resort to this.

"Men!! Lose the cats & reload the array of catapults w/ carp!!"

"Did 'e say we're to fling poop?"

" 'e said CAAAAAAAAARP u orally dyslexic twit!"

"But we're OUT of carp! I was at The Carp Shop & and the sillywalking man said it was runny AND that the cat's eaten it!"

"Try the Pet Shop"

"Blimey I did!! Some bloke was goin' on about a parrot he'd killed!"

"Would a cow work?"

and now for something COMPLETELY similar

"Are the trout in the trebuchet?"

P.S. Now I might be conflicted in the moments the : rolleyes : emoticon used to seem appropriate! Since I don't choose using the little pictures, I'd only use it to signify actual eye-rolling! :blink::rolleyes:

Have I underestimated the versatility of the humble :rolleyes: ?

:lol:Ptaum's post's are back to their old self I see !!! (well my head hurts anyway) :D

YES !! Susie, you will be 'the coeliac canary in the proverbial mine'

But !! - we really need you have bloods/biopsies before/during and after <_<

No amount of pisceneslapping can stop me!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: Mon dieu!!! Will nothing stop you !!

:rolleyes: <--- THIS is the emoticon I think is most confusing for people - - to me, it means verklempt with glee - - but I've seen others use it when they are rolling their eyes (at a useless doctor, for example)...but to me, it looks really happy, like it would be clapping its hands with joy at some newfound gluten-free delicacy, perhaps? WHAT SAY YOU

To me, he's saying ''Good grief !!'' with exasparation -- rolling eyes to ceiling, absolutely no hand clapping glee involved at all madam.

Oh -- and very pertinent questions to Daughter of the Light ..... I anticipate the reply.

Yep, I gotta side with you on this one, Nikki..." :rolleyes: " means, "Good grief!" or "What an idiot!"....no--I take that one back, as he's got a little smile, suggesting good-natured deprecation. More like "Isn't that just silly?" Nope, that little guy doesn't stymie me like :ph34r: . Or how about this guy?---> ^_^ WTH is HE saying? "I feel adorable?" "I am sleeping as I type?" Hmmmm. Then there's his lesser called-upon cousin -_- . An archetypal foil? Too many little faces, and not nearly enough time!! :):P:rolleyes:

Thanks, it looks more like me because I seldom go to the trouble to straighten my hair like the old avatar.

I think it looks like someone who got caught ... "Yeah, it was me who ate the whole bag of cookies."

I'm not really keeping up, my brain just cannot process this stuff right now ... you know, they say that when learning a foreign language, learning the humor can be the hardest part ... It also seems it's the first thing to go when your brain goes on vacation. I just wish I knew where it was so I could join it .... I won't make it come back to Ohio, I'll just go wherever it is. :P

I must kindly beg to differ, I think the emoticon used in taht case is this one ---> :ph34r: which, to me, signifies shame, also fear, but most of all, guilty admission.

True, but I'm talking about admitting something you're not ashamed of. This one is more like you're hiding. :ph34r:

Aww Dingy . . . . .no further discussion of the "and I'm not going to tell you guys when I do." ????

<tom's afraid that means it's a done deal>

Seriously Susan (you can tell it's serious when I write 'susan' ;) ) - every single one of us worries about CC and what the effects might be. :ph34r: (<--- his very NAME is ph34r, aka fear!!)

You are in a unique position to supply this silly little community w/ valuable info.

*I* think that if you really think about it, you'll realize you're too much of a humanitarian to withhold info as valuable as this.

Now . . .. . . .do I have to end every post w/ another plea to not poison yourself or can we just stipulate it? <_<

P.S. Replies to actual silliness on the way, after another soy latte :o

I still say that little guy signifies bank robbery, oppressed sect or Martin Brodeur, none of which I ever want to suggest. Well, maybe Brodeur...he can make his way into my conversation anyyyyy time. :wub:

Susan, do NOT cheat knowingly! Off with the silly hat, on with the support/counselling one (Ow...hurts my head...does not fit)

BTW, my son appeared this morning with the worst bed-head I have ever seen. Incredible, and I thought, "Now wouldn't that be a challenge...to depict that via emoticon."..

Something like this...

susie is quite pleased with the clever use of emoticons.

:rolleyes: [ <---- used in this case to signal glee ]

Amanda - - perhaps inventing a new emoticon hairdo, or pondering the Care Bears with machine guns could cheer you today?

...and ENOUGH stalling for me. Must wash windows and tend to many other tee-jus chores. BAH! :angry:

Nope, sorry, you'll just have to go look at the orange haired troll on your workmate's desk. :P

Yeah, he'd be that grumpy old man who doesn't let little kids cut through his yard again ... I think he's wanting to be reminded of when he first joined the forum ...

Oh, I have the curly hair, too ... very interesting hairdos in the morning, that's for sure!! And you can't brush curly hair when it's dry, so the only solution is a hat or water.

For Amanda:

A man went into a bar after work and ordered a beer. As he started drinking his beer, he heard a female voice saying seductively, 'You've got nice hair'.

The man looked all around him but couldn't see where the voice came from.

A minute later he heard the same voice saying,

'You are a handsome man.'

The man was really puzzled by this so he asked the barman what was going on.

The barman replied, 'It's the nuts - they're complimentary.'

Oh but it tastes-eses so good!!!

And it's just a small amount. And I only sometimes vomit a little. So what's the harm?

I'm not gonna worry about your cheating. You'll be as well as you want to be. I mean, c'mon . .. .. Susie's gonna do what Susie's gonna do.

The part I'm ready to harp endlessly on is that the rest of us may as well learn from your st. .. . ..uhhh .. . . .recklessness let's say.

okay - FYI - - the small vomit happened due to the RICHNESS of the foods - extremely uncustomary for me. Tollhouse cookies w/ real butter, and then FRIED CHICKEN??? a NON-celiac would vomit.....trust me.

okay Tom - - we are going to LET GO of the topic of Susie's cheating now. and, this is exactly why I shall not mention it again - - it just keeps coming up (like the burps after a doUGHnut binge!)....

can we PLEASE talk about something more important for God's sake, like the Care Bears with machine guns???????????????????

:huh:

Thanks I needed that. We are preparing for an audit at work tomorrow, since we do clinical trials, every 2 years the Cooperative Group comes to audit. This is my first audit so I am a little stressed...nervous...you name it. :)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
