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:

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.

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

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. :)

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
