Thanks for the welcome!

hahaha I tend to turn to humor to help me get through things. I read a lot of other threads for research and to answer questions, but this one looked like so much fun that I had to post.

Hey everyone! I'm one of those newbies Susie or Emily mentioned, who came across this thread by chance. I love it! :D

I really wish I had seen the toaster poster...although that was posted before I was diagnosed, so I wouldn't have had a reason to be here.

Also, to combine the cat comment and the dutch oven discussion, the absolute worst is when your cat farts on your pillow and/or you in bed. :blink:

:lol: ...WELL HELLOOOOOooooo and welcome to the madness :blink:

In my case, it's the annoyance & frustration of TOO MUCH STUFF!!! :angry:

Why do I have this? . . . .Why do I have THIS? .. . . . . Why does my roommate think the front/coat closet is a good place for his bin of extra sheets??!

Why indeed? :blink: ...so Ptaum,......are YOU a packrat??? ( :lol: Oh gawd - I'm even picking up the lingo :o )

Sunny here too, and 73 degrees. And Lucas has some kind of virus from hell and has been throwing up since 6am. The vomit and poop never ends around here.

Welcome, Joyful!

Vomit & Poo???.......DIVINE!!!.....and yeah, somedays it feels like it never ends you poor love.

When my kids were little my Mum said she'd name my home ''House at Pooh corner'' (from Pooh bear) as invariably I was up to my neck in muck and bullets (but NO bullets ;) )...yeah an un dx coeliac child as well......THE HEINOUSITY YEARS :lol:

I want turkey, dingo quinoa stuffing with wine (mental not to self- do NOT put the dingos IN the stuffing!), chocolate chip cookies and cool WHip!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: DO NOT put the dingos, or other mammals, in the stuffing. :huh:

Dingos are striking because they feel so......so.....used and exploited.

Oh, and mommy just doesn't have anything fantastic to sell at the moment. Dingos on strike just sounded more dramatic.

Hey everyone! I'm one of those newbies Susie or Emily mentioned, who came across this thread by chance. I love it!

Why, I smell another job for our wonderful, Only-In-America CLOSET ORGANIZER LADY! Tom, you must get her contact info from Patti (or Nikki, who called her in for an emergency intervention to make room for the yeti). All she needs is the odd sandwich.

Welcome to our insanity, Joyful! There's plenty to go around!... :lol:

I feel for all of you--at least it's warm enough to open the windows and air out the house :)

Hey Nikki--good use of the word "packrat"!!! :P

That's right Tom--since my husband won't part with ANYTHING, it's the next best thing :lol:

She's quiet--stays closed behind the closet door and doesn't come out until all your storage problems are solved. She was at my house for 4 and a half hours, so that pretty much gives you an idea of what I'm up against :o:D

A sandwich and cup of tea are appreciated ;)

Ahhhh, Fresh Meat . . . I mean WELCOME, Joi-phull

Your assignment is to go back and read the entire thread so that you know what we are talking about . . . Good Luck and take some advice from Peter and do some heavy drinking while you are at it. It will make us appear all the more wittier and better looking!

Perhaps it's because the linen closet is already full with the broken microwave that you're going to get fixed "sometime", the bell bottom jeans from when you were in high school, a set of World Book Encyclopedias, those cute little outfits that you dress the concrete goose in and said goose.

Why indeed? :blink: ...so Ptaum,......are YOU a packrat??? ( :lol: Oh gawd - I'm even picking up the lingo :o )

Oh Knickeigh, sadly & undeniably yes - ("hey I might bloody well need this someday!")

But, I CAN say I'm less packratty than when I had a big ole 3BR condo to keep it all in. (in which to keep it all?)

<tom wants his pre-celiac life back *sniff*>

does size=1 do anything anymore?

Darn210 Enthusiast
does size=1 do anything anymore?

Oh yes . . . you didn't notice? . . . didn't read the "changes" thread?

The default font is back to size 2. I wanted to plead my case that we needed our size 2 on the silly thread so that when we make snide comments and give stage directions we could use size 1 but I thought that would only hurt the cause so I kept my mouth shut. (Which is indeed difficult at times.) :lol:

tom Contributor
:lol: DO NOT put the dingos, or other mammals, in the stuffing. :huh:

That's still probably a preferred interpretation to seeing Dingo Stuffing as analogous to Turkey Stuffing. :ph34r:

Well I've got the "odd" part cinched, considering I have no bread, cheese or condiments.

Heyyyyyyyy I should look into a yeast-free bread mix I saw mentioned somewhere. (Bet it still has >2 ingred I can't have :( )

Ahhhh, Fresh Meat . . . I mean WELCOME, Joi-phull

Dang!! Jhae-knit beat me on the foe-neddi-kull Geoigheull!!! (Grrrr I had my chance and missed it) :lol:

Who toldja 'bout my goose?!! :blink: Or did you take a gander in my moving Pod while it took 8 days for an 11 hr trip? (Maybe they're ALL routed through Indiana?)

Why thank you sooooo much.

Alas, I live on a dry campus and haven't figured out if sparkling grape juice is ok.

As for looking wittier and better looking...

Well, we all know Tom, that quack, is back to himself when he throws down the word pun gauntlet! Now, as I migrate towards a suitable reply and duck his retorts, I think I might just be flocked!

:o was there an insult in there?? :lol: :lol:

dry campus. I lived on one once, too. In the south. Alas, I was a non-drinker for many, many years.

WTH happened to me? :lol:

okay - I am not a fan of James Blunt's plaintive, weepy hit, but this amused me:

Y'all will be glad to know, I stepped away from teh word game hours ago. Now trying to do Spanish homework...........zoigs.......I never go to class any more and am a bit behind. :ph34r:

Why have I become such a slacker???????????????????????????????????????? :blink:

(MAD with question marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It's not showing up that way for me. :(

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?
    • JulieRe
      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
