We got plastic babies baked in cakes, Port-O-Biffs (sounds like a PREPPY toilet) and my all-time favorite: Open Original Shared Link

Yes, that about sums it up.......and don't forget -- what types of FISH you've been kissing....

hat is her cartoon character face. That's my little Weasel......she really looks rather like an animated creature at times.

and she LOVES pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Uhmmm....pancakes. Much better than kissing fish :P

And don't leave out the beads & associated/mandatory breast flashing!! :o

Tom- We ALL flash our breasts everytime we post. You just can't SEE us!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Actually, I'm giving up flashing for Lent.

Patti made a phunny with HeyMoes!!!!!!!

I've been to N'Orleans....it's scary when it's quiet, never mind Mardi Gras!!!!!!! :ph34r: I actually ate a cake (King's cake?) with the wee plastic baby in it. Supposed to be good luck if you get the piece with the wee babe in it!

Really interesting stuff.....knew about Shrove Tuesday (as is here) and the following Lent but had no idea 'Mardi Gras' was connected (Duh!)

...of course I've heard of Mardi Gras in New Orleans but didn't know it had religious conotations!!!

That's because there AREN"T any religious connotations any more....... <_< 'Tis pure debauchery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink:

evidently I've given up dating for Lent......unawares. :huh:

I think I"ll hide something in my own food tonight and squeal w/ joy when I find it. This will be done at a restaurant where I'll be celebrating the Fatness of Tuesday adn other things. Now must just locate a wee plastic babe........... ;)

Patti's HMO's - :lol::lol::lol:

Emily's Diaries - :lol::lol::lol:

Follow-up from the pedGI (then I won't drag this thread down any further) . . . He would like to scope her again. He said that's what it says to do in his GI handbook :lol: . I actually quite like him. He has a decent sense of humor and he appears to listen to me. He did not bat an eye when I told him that I decided she didn't need to be on Erythromycin any longer (I had my reasons and told him). He gave me some options . . . take her off dairy and see if there are any improvements or double her prevacid (which should be her dose anyway based on her size). He's going to talk to the allergist who DID NOT test her for ANY food allergies. I think that we are both leaning towards some additional food intolerance/allergy (he's not assuming dairy). I need to stew it over and decide what I want to do, implement it and check in with him in a month to see where we stand.

I'm having vague memories of my mom hiding inedibles in our birthday cakes....I seem to remember that she'd throw in not just one coin, but many, so all the kiddies would have the chance to go home with something. Gad....I do remember silver shining up from the toilet bowl at me.... :o

Susie! You must hide a handful of morning glory seeds in your food this evening. You likely will not squeal....you'll just giggle....and giggle.....

My older brother HATED all vegetables. He LOVED mashed potatoes. One meal he left the table to use the bathroom. My oldest brother decided to hide peas in his mashed potatos while he was gone. Mom and Dad sat and watched the drama unfold. It was not pretty. Food being spit out, yelling, laughing and pointing, throwing of silverware . . . ahhh, memories.

I, on the other hand, got in trouble for trying to flush a half of a chicken salad sandwich.

Janet - - your doc sounds good......keep us posted. Seems - from what I've read here and my own experience - that many people CAN go back to dairy if they give it a break? Let's hope????????????? :rolleyes:

OMG - just a knock at the door - 'twas Stepford (always a pop-in, never a call) to see if I could watch the dog for her gathering - alas, I was dressed to go out.

But - scariest of all - she just said she wants to take me out to eat to this restaurant I'd mentioned................... GAH!!!!!!!! :o:o:blink:

A very curious development....

You must go to eat with her and find out just what all of this is about.

Keep your friends close, but keep your Stepford closer ;)

Both girls canceled - valid reasons but very, very disappointing.

Life really has passed me by.......... bah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in the wrong town and OMG, I got my celiac dx too late in life - already ruined four decades by then. :huh:

Looks like another heavy snow overnight. We must be at the store early since our weekly delivery truck will arrive by 8:30.

The Bumper Dumper is at the same time hilarious and practical. But just where do you park to, well, you know... :ph34r:

Our Queen, Sarah, has gone missing again. Was it something one of us said?

Good night, all.

Morning, guys!

Took the kids in Jack's class out skating yesterday. Was showing off, showing them how to do a really masculine hockey stop (going like hell, then suddenly turning blades and leaning hard, causing a great spray of ice...quite spectacular if done properly, and by a diminutive woman). Well, OF COURSE when it matters I slip and fall on me arse. The bruise is what is now spectacular..... <_<

Our Queen, Sarah, has gone missing again. Was it something one of us said?

Gaaaahhh! Noooooo.... :ph34r:

Couldn't have been me....I've been so careful! :huh::lol:

Morning Sillies

Talk about strange weather this morning it is almost 60 out...I wore a thin sweater to work...in Feb in the dead of winter in PA....how strange!!!! Nice though :) My hopes of skiing this weekend are looking dim. Even if there is snow, its all man made and with the warm temps and then cold temps it will be all ice and no powder....no fun!

So has anyone seen Alex lately? I wonder how the wedding planning is?

How is our parade looking? We cannot disappoint :) A wedding ist a big occasion!!!

No, this time I don't think it is you, Emily. Sarah is well aware of your shenanigans . . . I think she might be seeing another forum behind our backs. :ph34r:

Crazy temperature swings here this year . . . 60 yesterday, suppose to get to -2 on Saturday night.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
