I've been away for a couple of days, and have only skimmed quickly through 48 hours worth of silly posts. Merry Christmas to all. For me, it's "Good night!" :P

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Night Peter, maybe you were good this year and Santa will bring you something under the tree....maybe some gluten-free goodies?

DingoGirl Enthusiast

:o:blink::angry:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you guys will not be-LIEVE what just happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:angry:

Twenty minutes ago, I let the demon dog next door out into his back yard. So, I can hear him barking CONSTANTLY with that wretched, shrill bark of his (BTW his Stepford owner had the surgery to slash his vocal chords :o - an evil thing all in itself - to make him barkless, and it most CERTAINLY did not work - even remotely).

So, I went over to put him in his kennel......and he would not come in (highly unusual). I called for him.......still would not come. So, I went into the back yard to find him - he is wildly running to and fro, chasing something in this particular area of the garden. He will NOT come to me. So, I stepped over this barrier in the garden, trying to grab him adn pull him over........and I FELL - - over this little fence - - and knocked something over - god knows what - and FELL INTO A BUSH - tangling my hair and my fleece into these thorny roses, and HIT MY HEAD on the fencepost - - which has made me slightly concussed (I actually saw stars) and has given me an INSTANT and WRETCHED headache!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

I HATE THAT DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And let me tell you.......I have hardly EVER encountered a dog I do not like, maybe NEVER.

so.......I have pulled the leaves and thorns out of my hair and am off to bed...........slight concussion......SEVERE headache..........

carry on sillies..........

BAH!!!!!!!!!!!

:angry:

back to Christmas cheer......I"ll have it tomorrow............

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Well, the presents have all been opened (it's all over in a flash) - the Turkey's stuffed AND in the oven - kids all gone off - kitty Will having the time of his life !!! :lol:

(BTW his Stepford owner had the surgery to slash his vocal chords :o - an evil thing all in itself - to make him barkless, and it most CERTAINLY did not work - even remotely).

:o Vets actually perform this op?? :o

*snort*...shouldn't laugh.....But mental image is too much.. :lol: ....also the dragged through the hedge backwards look is very 'in' and the concussion saves on wine needing to be consumed with same effect!! ;)

Evil yappy dog needs to GO!!! :lol: (poor Stinker)

:lol: I was rather hoping that santa would bring me some new slippers as mine are falling apart with the sole 'flapping' :lol: (death trap) but alas.....so I am wearing my son's instead!! :D

'Gone with the wind' is on soon - must settle down with chocs.......for breakfast :blink:

MERRY CHRISTMAS SILLIES!!!!

Susie...hows your head this morning?

Mtndog Collaborator

Sleeps through Christmas pooping in here.

Susie- OW!!!!!!!! Don't you know if you have a concussion, you arre NOT supposed to go to sleep! Poor dog- vocal chord surgery is EVIL. Mean Stepfords!

Just wanted to poop in, say Merry Christmas and tell you that yes, Kurt gave me a copy of......

Don't Hassle the Hoff- the autobiography of our beloved David!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Looks like my avatar will have to change soon!

MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

<_<:o:angry:

only in America........completely HEINOUS.....

Yes.......dragged through a hedge backwards indeed! :lol: I gently pulled the wee hedgehogs out of my hair last night, and all is well. Inspection this morning of Stepford's back yard revealed that I fell onto a branch of her standing rose bush, and that branch is wrenched off, hanging to the ground - :huh: - hence all the hoglets/thorns in my hair. I knocked over a garden statue. Now debating whether I cut the hanging branch off and say nothing......or......just leave it and tell her of my mishap.

(I think I'll leave it and write her a note, perhaps wages will increase for hardship pay :lol: )

:D

I've had the caramels again for breakfast just now. :huh: Thank God, they're almost gone. Hopefully Amanda's chocolate gummy's are also? :lol:

Morning Sillies

Morning Amanda--

Nope--I'm staying in...I think I might be getting a cold. Not sure, but woke up with a slightly scratchy throat.

Are you at work?

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I'm at work. The hospital is quiet, well on the office side of it anyway. A lot of offices are closed yet. There are only 5 of us in mine today.

John has been talking about having a sore throat the last two days.

jerseyangel Proficient

Glad it should be a quiet day for you--where my son works, he is in a team of 6 normally and today there will only be 2 of them. I guess it's a popular day to take off.

Hope John isn't getting sick again.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

My sister told me she was going to return something to Wally-World this morning since it didn't work...I told her she was crazy!

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease". 
    • trents
      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
    • trents
      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
