I've thought about this too. Maybe in person we'd sit there and look at each other like this :huh:

Na--I think the ice would be broken pretty quick :D

Yeah, the first time somebody farted.

Which reminds me, will there be bubble bath in this hot tub?? :P

Well.......as Patti has succinctly pointed out, we won't need it....Particularly if Nikki's there, with her banned substance! :lol:

I think it would be great if we all met. We would laugh for hours. Think about it, we have one thing in common and we started a friendship on the celiac/gluten free thing...look how far we have come. I love having you guys as friends, whenever I have a bad day or I see something about celiac and yeti's and stuff I think about our fun here.

As for the parade, I would really like if we could maybe have Bon Jovi singing on a float....He is very hot!

Since I am doing PR for Wegmans, I have borrowed my other hottie, Danny for our parade too. He says he will bring gluten-free goodies!

Hey!! Reminds me of someone else's Sillyville start - who was it that got a shard of Tostito in her eye despite allegedly-protective eyewear?

Pseu-zee? Do you actually say 'whilst' in person?

Hey everybody, I would like for you to meet Julie . . . she's a loser (of cookbooks)

Word of advice Julie . . . don't let Emily scare you away.

Susie, I often find myself wondering this. Everyone who's coming to the Mt. Tremblant chalet, best to bring a laptop, and if we're sitting around the crackling fire or lounging in the hot tub, and the laughs just are not coming...well, we simply start typing, and passing our screens to whomever we're posting. If we practise ahead of time, I'm certain we can all make reasonable facsimiles of the emoticons with our own faces. I'll need to work on a few....Gad, dunno how close I can get to this one: ^_^ Or this guy: :wacko:

gahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! :lol:

Yes, laptop on standby in case there's just a room of us, blank-faced and mute :mellow:

(not bloody likely - give just me, for example, two glasses of wine and I cackle madly and my voice escalates - just ask everyone around me )

Think of all the energy that would be saved with all us Celiacs in there together :lol: Wouldn't even need to plug it in B)

But wait. According to our recent Fart Chartage, we seem to have a deArth of flatus in our group. With the exception of nicola, of course, who doth Fart for England. :lol:

I mean, I"ve only had three today....and many days there are ZERO.

We'll need champagne. :lol:

As for the parade, I would really like if we could maybe have Bon Jovi singing on a float....He is very hot!

:wub:

Absolutely. I am not a fan of his music, but I am DEEPLY in love wif him. Major hottie. And BACK OFF girls, he is MINE. :P

Well, you may have missed one or two items.

  • the parade
  • the travels of the Yeti
  • the royal succession that led to our current Queen, Jess
  • Amanda and John's wedding
  • numerous events involving companion animals
  • linguistic differences among the USA, Canada and the UK
  • and one or two jokes along the way

Welcome to the silliness. Don't let Emily scare you away! :lol:

OMG, Julie......

You have been warned about me....

Let's see...Did you miss anything?....Don't get me started....

I've learned to stay calm in my welcoming demeanor....

Entrance exam to follow.

Just one initial query: How many times did you pass gas today? Were you ingesting any banned substance(s) to affect this result (Benefibre, psyllium seed, etc.)?

Hey!! Reminds me of someone else's Sillyville start - who was it that got a shard of Tostito in her eye despite allegedly-protective eyewear?

That was Sarah...what a superb entrance... :lol:

Julie, henceforth you are to see Oracle Peter for any questions. As you can surmise, he knows all the answers. :lol:

Which reminds me, hey Tom, please keep your eyes/ears open for ANY casting calls in San Jose area........I've got free lodging and have simply GOT to do one more important film for my career. :lol:

:lol:

There WAS a casting call a few months ago held at my FAV coffee house - yes, in Willow Glen, across the street from that purveyor of the candy-bar-in-a-cup, Charbucks. (Hey, try it black - tastes burnt ~every time)

Strange train of thought this morning led to ballpark peanuts. If you had a bag of peanuts-in-the-shell and a friend asked "can I have one? I only want one" - discounting those lonely mutant singles - they'd get 'one' but it actually is TWO nuts.

That's my wake-up-fart, avec companion. Do I count it as one or as two?????????????????

Yesterday, I kept wondering if I was truly at zero or do they simply garner no attention?

I'm not sure I can keep a running total, but I'll say I'm at 4 or 5 so far today.

"What a difference a day diet makes"

So there's my 2 scents on the Fart Chart.

Darn210 Enthusiast

A trip down memory lane . . .

(ok, my 1st post in here)

... ;) I am not winking, I have a Tostito in my eye.

-Sarah

First - two Donnas, Now - two Julies . . . another crises!!!

Hey, did you guys miss me?? Had a quick trip to the basement for a short tornado warning. Bad weather rippin' through. We were in the 50's about a half hour ago. Now we're in the high 30's and dropping fast.

Lest we forget, Peter -

Fart Charting is now required by all participants. Edict # 1230298430957290187301298123233, passed by unanimous vote. ;)

:blink: what in hell...........

:lol: :lol:

sometimes, farts are just entirely necessary.......for ex. in the first year of gluten removal, I seemed to be intolerant of flax seeds. Yet, I would still occasionally binge :ph34r: on Trader Joe's Soy Flax Seed Tortilla Chips. (OMG OMG OMG OMG they are SO good - not allowed in my house any more.) So..........next day, there could be an extremely painful, hard, BALL OF GAS in my stomach which DEMANDED to be released (often at that wicked art store where I worked). Hence, that night's emissions were.........mygawd. Like an over-filled tire - quite necessary to release the pressure. :blink:

Yours, Tom, are simply perhaps ancillary in nature, like that second peanut.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I cannot beLEEVE we actually talk about these things/analyze in such great detail, and how much EXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORBItant pleasure I derive.........

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

....and people still want to join us?

*snort*

(only the truly mad, to be sure)

Yes - Sarah's Tostito entrance was MARVELOUS :lol:

I am going to send.......well, I WOULD send Annie after her, but she won't go alone........ (gawd, we miss Tika :( )

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! A "quick trip" to the basement? How do you know when it's safe to emerge? :o

What did you guys do down there? games, snacks, WHAT?

And BTW - those other Donnas and Colleen.....they are back in their makeup cult. I don't think Mango's letting them out any more. :ph34r:

:lol: (a loud guffaw & cackles until I needed to breathe!!) :lol:

Hmmmmm Susie's Mr. Carrot .. . .. . .before my time, but ... ...<ack should I tell this tale at all??????> it reminds me of a college roommate's girlfriend and my being thankful at not having dinner w/ them one particular night. (Oh NO!!! What if these things happened often!!?)

Anway <ewww> I was told that <ewww> a cucumber she'd used uhhhhhh <ewwww> recreationally was later used in the salad!!! EWWWWWWWWW!!

LOL Emily @ facial emoti-contortions!!!!

Oh!! Jooooo-lee, you must be prepared to answer to any and all foe-neddik spellin's of your gneighm. :D:P

~alex~ Explorer

All of this wedding parade talk is exciting! Much more fun than planning an actual wedding I think. :lol:

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and my mind swirling with guest list issues. Ack. I want a wedding planner! It seems so much more real now that we set a date. Is it weird to only have a maid of honour and a best man and no others in the wedding party? So many things to figure out!

Yes, between Mango and Colleen's wicked boss, we have seen her in ages and as far as Donna#2 goes . . . Emily, what did you do?

Not to worry basement is decked out. We watched the news (weather radar) and then the kids started playing with their Wii (not to be confused with their wee).

Welcome Julie- you haven't missed a (sane) thing at all! You can jump right in

We've booked a HUGE, rustic, lovely chalet/condo for our skiing/falling trip in the Laurentians. There is room for twelve in this place, and we'll be nine total, so a bunch of you can come and crash on the couches. Huge, outdoor hot tub, games room with pool table, huge stone fireplace, 50" satellite TV, enormous kitchen, four baths.....

I'm coming too!!!!!!!!!!! But don't tell the aliens. They might follow me :ph34r: I showed it to my nurse today and she said it's clearly self-inflicted which makes me wonder....are we so attached that when Patti's itchy, do I scratch? When Nikki farts, do I excuse myself? :lol:

OMG - mammogram today. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smash my poor, wee boobies into metal places........... :blink: Egregious, as we all know.

Ugh! The gramming of the mammies!!!!!!!

Our hospital has issued an internal disaster meaning that due to a large volume of accident victims and trauma's coming in our ER needs help. So traumas are coming from other hospitals, we are a level 3 trauma center so we can get the worst of the worst. So they are triaging in the hall and stuff down that way...its a zoo!

Amanda- Hope you survived the day. :wub:

Yup, sure we believe you, Ms. Machine Gun :P

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Can someone American vote for him please???.....is he into politics??? :D

OMG- Uncle ray for president!!!!!!!!!!!

And when you pass gas for England by all means curtsey at the end too...and remember to excuse your bum! Be polite about it LOL

Gah!

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!
    • klmgarland
      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!
    • knitty kitty
      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.  
    • Clear2me
      Thank you, a little expensive but glad to have this source. 
    • Xravith
      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
