I had a whole menu planned and guests coming over but had to cancel because I got vertigo yesterday and am still really dizzy today :o

Oh, Julie! :o Hope everything's okay. What a shame, you having planned a wee wee get-together (!) and now you're felled with vertigo. This is heinous. Now, you're not drunk, are ye? :o;):lol:

I've also asked her to do a butt-scoot on the very lovely cream carpet in her living room....but we've decided to wait on that until JUST before her guests arrive on Tues. night.

Wait! Don't get Annie to scoot across the prize living room carpet...we gotta pull out the big guns, here. FIND THAT YETI! No one can do a carpet like him..... :o:lol:

My big complaint about the pre show is what in the HECk was Ryan Seacrest and a red carpet doing there?

:o

OMG - WHAT? He's everywhere. Missed that one - - had I seen it, my rant would have been much longer. :lol:

Yes, those viruses DO go around that cause vertigo......I do hope your case isn't too severe. Nevertheless, Annie and I are on our way, do keep that end of the couch cleared, we are excited about your wee wee party. ;) And don't you worry, you won't have to lift a finger, Annie will do everything. ;) (not really - I just tell myself that)

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! Yes, whoever's got him, I'll need him here by Tuesday for a very dramatic and well-timed Butt Scoot.

*snort*

I wanna come too! :)

Patt, I'd love for you to come!

I have plenty of yummy gluten-free food, and plenty of room on the big comfy couch. :)

Oh, Julie! :o Hope everything's okay. What a shame, you having planned a wee wee get-together (!) and now you're felled with vertigo. This is heinous. Now, you're not drunk, are ye? :o;):lol:

Hmmm, maybe that's it, a suspicious ingredient in my lime sauce :o

:lol:

Thanks Emily, I would be fine if the world would stop turning right in front of my eyes,

Annie can have at the kitchen!

You must not have watched the preshow, they had a Hollywood style "red carpet" set up with Ryan Seacrest working it, pure CRAZINESS.

And most of the "stars" that walked said Super Bowl red carpet were from Fox shows like House, American Idol, etc.

He looks good, though for his age. We enjoyed it.

Emily I was thinking the same thing, Tom Petty still has it...but the hair needs to go. I am not into long hair. He did a great performance though, American Girl is my favorite Tom Petty song.

I did hear Van Halen is coming to Hershey...I may look into getting tickets. Since I dont think I will make the Bon Jovi concert which is out towards Philly.

Tom Petty. Susie is pleased. Good, solid, GROWN UP (adult) American Rocker. V. glad they didn't have some insipid teenager like......Hannah Montana or something, given how incredibly young the crowd around the stage looked (they probably don't even KNOW who Tom Petty is)......

I am watching a marathon of Keeping Up Appearances on PBS. :lol: Hyacinth Boo-kay, perfect for a rainy Sunday.

but I am BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mellow: been trapped in my house for too long.

And..........starting to wonder whether I"ll EVER EVER EVER EVER have a date again w/ a man I LIKE. :huh:

pathetic. got to get OUT of this town.

<OMG why am I thinking of this right now? what in hell is going on? maybe because I really COULD have died alone in this last siege>

Yes Emily, I have to concur, the Super Bowl is a bit BORING at the moment....

I have scoped out some alternatives:

The Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet?

The CLoser marathon on TNT?

and a personal favorite, a Murder She Wrote marathon on the Hallmark network :lol: Good ol Jessica Fletcher :D

Tom Petty rocked it out at half time! Excellent!

And I thought JS did a good job singing the National Anthem

I enjoyed Alicia Keyes performance too in the pre show.

Yep Susie, Ryan Seacrest and the whole trying to "Hollywood" it up was heinous. I like men, sweaty men, and all things football, former players, current players, coaches, etc.

I don't want to hear about who threw the best party and where Paris Hilton was....

DID YOUR LOL GET THERE FROM OLD NAVY??? You didn't say if you liked it or not, or maybe you did and I missed it??? Details!!! Do tell!

Oh Julie, sorry to keep you on the edge of your seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the LOL suit did arrive! It is a true raisin coloUr - chocolate brown, so NOT burgundy. I THINK I like it.......yet have to wait until I feel better, try it on w/ appropriate accoutrements, etc. I was too befuddled to tell if I really LOVED it........the pants were a bit loose.......but better than too tight, eh?

A Murder She Wrote marathon............dear gawdddddddddd.................. :lol:

OMG - did you guys know we have some fabulous asian chefs on this forum? Just TRY and go and read that phyllo dough/ voul-a-vent thread WITHOUT having your mouth water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was out of my mind.........the American diet is just so bloody.......pedestrian compared to what these two are eating.... :lol:

Good morning Sillies!

Emily where are you, I don't even see you here yet??? :)

John is still smiling over the Giants victory. Welcome to Monday...another week ahead of us. It is rainy and dreary and I could have slept a few more hours. Right now I am struggling to keep my eyes open.

Yes, last two minutes VERY exciting, lol. Must admit I didn't watch much of the middle of the game (except for halftime)...it was so boring mostly that I was watching the Wedding Cake competition on the Food Network until the last two minutes of the game. :P

See, this is why I am not allowed to have expanded cable......I would have watched this ALL DAY.....into the night.........and every day thereafter. :blink: *sigh* The Food Channel.......HGTV....... not allowed.

But I did see again last night Meet the Fockers - - several guffaws.......just the silliest movie ever and EXACTLY the right actors for the parts. :lol:

OMG Em - - is he gluten-free already? When did he start? Remind me again.....I was in a delirium......he WAS tested to be gluten-intolerant, correct? Details, again please......

Feeling much better today, sillies. :) No trip to doctor will be required.

Poor Annie -- I think both just got fatter during mommy's bedridden state. Did not help that I was throwing miniature marshmallows (BLECH! the homemade ones are just so superior!) at her yesterday, for...something to do....... :lol::ph34r:

Where's Bev? Where's Sarah? mygawd, have we lost SArah forever? :huh:

And.......wasn't there someone new who asked to join us - - and then we never saw her again?

He got his Enterolab results on Thursday...no surprise: high levels of all three antibodies, and a seriously elevated fecal fat count. Amazing, I think, that his blood panel was "very negative" (exact words of the gastroenterologist), as was his biopsy ...Unbelievable how misleading some tests are!

You're all better, Susie! Yay! You can come out to play!

Is the past littered w/ instances of agreeing to dates w/ ppl you don't even LIKE?? :wacko:

Or was that just gluten-brain S :wacko: :wacko: SIE

What did you all think of Jordyn Sparks singing the national anthem?

I was pleasantly surprised. Being local, she was BIG news in Phx last yr (or whenever), but I don't think I'd ever heard her sing.

Great soft tone to start & great command of her voice displayed through the end.

. .. . . .. I like men, sweaty men, and all things football, former players, . . . ..

Oooh-la-La!!

Have I ever mentioned my 3-touchdown Thanksgiving Day game?? :lol: :lol:

Wow....boooooorrrrring game until the last minute!

GAH!! Bite your tongue, foreigner!!!!!!

Pretty much EVERY PLAY, I had to be as 'on the edge of seat' as one can possibly be during full reclination of a big comfy recliner :mellow::wacko:

Em!! FIVE!?????? :o

<tom notices it's exactly 1/13th of a half-fortnight ago>

(phortnight??)

;) Oh I think you know exactly what I meant. :lol:

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Am I nuts?

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By SamAlvi · Posted

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
