Yes, but it's only SIX DAYS AWAY, Amanda! How can you concentrate at work? You'll just have to keep coming on here...I find nothing else that makes the time whip by like sitting here, fraternizing with the cohorts who really matter!

:lol:

And - - the bigger the deadline, the more HEINOUS the task, the more I find myslef here..... :ph34r::lol:

Yes, quiet, quiet day!! Have we ALL lost our collective mojos? :huh:

I am just not feeling so funny today. Feeling quite blah, actually. And sitting here filling out paperwork for my first physical therapy appointment today (geez, back xrays and MRI were back in JUNE for pete's sake - it's about time!)......back is a TOTAL mess from vigorous carpet shampooing over the weekend (despite Clive Owens' massages ;)). So - - trying to describe on paperwork what back pain feels like. Pins and needles? no..... Numbness? no.... Burning? no... Stabbing? well, a little.....they haven't given the option of what it REALLY feels like - - as if someone has taken a gigantic metal vice and clamped the entire mid- and lower section of my back, making movement nearly impossible. :huh:

AMANDA - six days!!! :rolleyes: Everything will fall into place, it always does. And if it doesn't, you can put it on America's funniest Home Videos. :lol::ph34r:

Okay, that's better! Good Afternoon, Othersillies... I suppose you're wondering why I've called you all here... :lol:

Well, I am somewhat relieved and chuckling. Spoke to DS this morning about his school project involving bulging zycomatics and maxillary notches. It is for a poster he has to make about the austalopicethis, an ancient homonid (250+ yrs. ago). He looked carefully at me and said, "bulging zycomatics refer to their cranial structure, and maxillary notches are in their jaw area. What were you thinking about?" Ha! Who, me? :rolleyes::ph34r:

Ahhh Yes!!! This is me to a T!! . . . a Tee? . . . a Tea? (Darjeeling, Earl Grey . . . hmmm, I prefer English Breakfast . . . Is it OK to have English Breakfast in the afternoon?) :huh:

A silly from my daughter . . . the kids went to a haunted house at the Children's Museum over the weekend. There were goody bags after they had made it all the way through. My daughter remarked that they were Halloween goody bags because they said Aaaaaaa on the side like someone was scared. I looked at the bag and it said AAA (they were a sponser). :lol:

Uhhhhhhh.....Amanda....Hate to tell you this, but you may have to be re-ordering post haste. We'll be needing considerably more seating than for fourteen. There's your wedding party, then all of us...and you must know that the yeti will likely take up three seats alone. Will there be a sunroof that he can stick his upper body out of?

:lol::lol:

And when Emily says all of us, don't forget she also means the Dalai Lama, Chuck Norris, Robert Goulet (he may need his own ambulance), Michael Jackson, David Hasselhoff (will definitely need his own vehicle - preferably something that can be hosed out) and let's see . . . who have I left out? Bev? Have I left anybody out? I would HATE to leave anybody out. (The nose rubbing continues - heehee).

oh MOST DEFINITELY!!!! she probably will need to get three or four more stretch limos on standby....good God, there's no telling who will be trailing along in our motley crew....

Is the yeti allowed to bring a guest? a cute female yeti? because that would REALLY take up a lot of room.....

Well, I don't know about all y'all, but *I'm* riding in the limo with all the cute guys. Clive Owens, Benicio, Colin Firth, Rafe Fiennes, that guy from Mad Men (something Hamm), Robert Duvall, Sir Sean Connery.....it's a long list so we've reserved a 25-seat Care Bear float.

;)

That avatar is actually an illustration for a different topic that I started. Yes, surprising isn't it. I do sometimes post in other threads. I'm about ready to change it as the thread has slid to the second page and not likely to get any more responses.

In my pregluten-free past life, I used to decorate cookies. I actually looked into starting a business out of my home. Did a few jobs for friends. Word started getting out about the time my daughter got her diagnosis. I've turned down a few jobs because I won't have anything in the house that she would want and I would have to tell her she can't have it. So I was looking for a new gluten-free rolled sugar cookie recipe. I always like to do two related designs - thus flowers and bees. I did some turkeys and pumpkins last thanksgiving. If I find that photo, I'll post if for a few hours.

Well, I will get us the stretch hummer than, and it comes with a hottub on the roof. Yeti can bring a date, anyone got any suggestions as of who we can fix him up with?

Don't worry Carla, there is a Marriott right next to our reception hall. We are also having gluten free plates too.

We'd better make sure Ms. Spears is NOWHERE NEAR our procession...and everyone, as a precaution, watch your feet.

Susie!! Robert Duvall? Ewwwwwwwwww! Anybody else react to him that way, or am I alone in my he's-a-great-actor-but-NO-panting-going-on reaction? Tell you what, you can sit beside Mr. Duvall. I think I'd even rather sit beside the Dalai, m'self... :lol:

      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.
