Only in my dreams. Nothing but grade A coffee in my travel mug. EVER. A crash is imminent, however Robert Goulet is in the hospital awaiting a lung transplant :o (I kid you not), so my afternoon slumber will be undisturbed. actually it is a co-workers birthday, and it was is my turn to supply the cake - a NAMASTE chocolate cake with sinful dark chocolate frosting....refueling to begin in 1 hour.

I did see that Bob is in the hospital! :huh: So yes, your afternoons seem quite safe for a while....but now we must appoint another LIMPSY ambassador.....how about Bridget Bardot?

Is the cake quite good? Haven't had one yet.....have not had cake in nearly two years. :angry:

(only in my dreams in Patti's snack kitchen :lol:)

No time to be cheerful. I was just checking in on the puppy. Glad Annie's OK.

If I had time I would do a huge rant on stupid bosses. If everyone would just roll your eyes at my boss for me I'm sure he'll feel it.

:wacko: We could use this eye roll - different directions at the same time.

<_< But this one is probably most appropriate for the situation.

After we get the green guy emoticon worked out, we'll shoot for the eye roll emoticon :whatever!:

Richard, so sorry to hear about RG. I noticed that it said he was coming back from NY . . . was that a personal visit to your house then?

:blink:

...and now we get to the REAL reason your mojo has left town!

NO CAKE IN TWO YEARS????! :blink::o It's no wonder your subconscious is forced to raid Patti's Uber-pantry. Forget LIMPSY - SOMEBODY GET SUSIE A CAKE! STAT!!

This cake is soooo rich (with the homemade frosting = a tub of cool whip melted with 6 squares of semi-sweet chocolate, cool slightly and drizzle over cake) I always bring a carton of milk. It's guaranteed to make your teeth hurt! :)

Never saw him. The only thing I can think is that he ran into the 'Hoff. Perhaps the smell of wee was so strong that the ammonia caused chemical burns to his lungs? :o

it's a darned shame. :angry:

It didn't work out for George Costanza...but then again nothing ever did. Maybe you could try the bottle/can deposit redemption scam :huh:

Don't you need a mail truck for that? Now where is Susie going to come up with a mail truck? Susie, is your mailman (or mailwomen) open to advances? Would said mailman/woman be wooable with your womanly charms? (Reading back that last sentence makes me think of Barbara Walters!) :lol::lol:

I was out doing errands, and the big sad news about Bob came over the radio. Now, only this crazy thread could make me actually be amused at news as bad as this. I said, aloud, alone in my car, "Bob Goulet! Lungs...why is this amusing me?!"

Sheesh...poor man...with an unbelieveable voice like his, he couldn't have been a smoker. Hmmmm..ammonia burns, possible. Severe, asthma-type reaction to yeti fur, a possibility.

All right, guys. You know he was here a few afternoons ago. I'm feeling a sickening responsibility, here. After all, it's too big a coincidence! Did I somehow cause this?! Ohhhhhh......he walked by my husband's hockey bag.... :o:o

:o ahem, excuse me, Cool Whip is rather evil, isn't it? is that really considered homemade frosting? all right, I confess, it DOES sound teeth-hurtingly good. :(

I have lost FOUR POUNDS on my strict calorie intake diet. :) So, NO CAKE FOR ME. :angry:

Now here's something. curiously, there is no consistency in the mail trucks or drivers here. Sometimes the mail is delivered in an orange jeep :huh: (only one I've ever seen on mail routes in my entire lifetime in California), sometimes a standard mail truck, sometimes another jeep, and SOMETIMES, not kidding, it's like a gold Toyota Celica or something, but with driver's side on right side. :huh: That one REALLY throws me.

Different drivers all the time. I will see if I can hijack any of them for my madness. mwoo-hoo-hooooo--HAAA-HAAAA-HAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:diabolical emoticon:)

I don't *think* Barbara Walters has ever delivered the mail, but who can really be sure? :lol:

gotta love my coworkers...

While I was gone in search of candy I was gone about 10 minutes.

The girl next to me says...Amanda I have a confession.

While you were gone I was kneeling on my desk and I farted loudly.....

So she was hiding and peeking around the corner making sure no one heard.

Ahhh! Never a dull day in Clinical Trials!

I adore my cubiemate, we are a perfect match. The reason we are so relaxed around each other. About a year ago, we were walking down the hall and a fart escaped on her, she was going to die. She said my facial expression is unforgettable.

We can be ourselves around each other. So when she says want to hear a funny story, I know it has something to do with farts or people exploding in the bathroom or something along those lines.

We do have fun here.

Anyone want to come to the Clinical Trials office and work? We always have food here!

putting binder away on the shelf storage above the desks. We have no room in our office, there is barely room underneath my desk for my feet. There are lab kits and stuff under there.

Suffering from chemically burned lungs myself <_< Just got my hair cut. The odoUriferousness of my hair is starting to iritate my throat. Time for a mid-day shower so that I won't have to join RG in the ICU :huh: I'd hate to think of the mass riots that would ensue against me if I beat him out for the next set of lungs.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
