I can just see your friend now, jonesin' for a tipple, wandering up & down Santana Row, accosting strangers by their lapels, inquiring w/ an interrogatory scowl, WHERE are the phaeries?!! :lol:

<_<

Not bloody likely. This is the VERY VERY VERY serious and proper mother of three and biggest rule-follower I know. Former college roommate.......we could seriously not be more opposite. I swear to you, she won't even TASTE it due to its brain-addling rumoUred history. Not a drop. Very pure, wholesome, puritanical....the drugs she takes? maybe four aspirine in AN ENTIRE YEAR. she does drink wine, but not much.......we are actually going through a.......shift in our friendship as I become LESS of a rule-follower as I age, and she, MORE. Interesting.

Mygawd, $75 a bottle for our green elixir? :huh: Such sad news. :lol: all my hopes, dashed.

This is so weird to me. The concept of actually wanting someone to take time away from living is incomprehensible. I occasionally interact with someone and briefly consider the ramifications of dating him, and end up thinking "but then I wouldn't have time for...."

Maybe two divorces is enough. I got better things to do with my time.

Yes, one must get one's phlatus under control before the undertaking of it. ;)

JESS - OMG :lol:

Well, I've had NO divorces yet and am quite interested in having one. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, I'd be ASTONISHED to find someone I'd like to spend.......an evening with, much less marry. Good Lord. BTW, I would not MIND marrying someone, but could not possibly conceive of living with someone. GADS!!!!!!! :blink: That, my friends, is how marriages fail. too much proximity. Too much time together.

And I actually am NOT kidding about this. :D I am nuts, cannot IMAGINE sharing space permanently with someone....... :blink:

LOL at all the Dingoposts when Susie's procrastinating. :P

Hello all. Another busy Wednesday. It is going to snow like heck overnight. Again. Another morning trek through snowbound streets populated with people who can't drive in winter, to arrive at the store and have to shovel the snow off of the lot. Just like today.

So, MJ is on Emily's butt. We have to see this. Wait, it is too late, it is now the whole Jackson Five. This thing is expanding out of control. Is that "Open Original Shared Link" that I hear? But, then, where is "there?"

I need a new avatar. Hmm, let's try this one. :ph34r:

I hate to be left out :lol:

      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.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. 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.  
    • GlorietaKaro
      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. 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—
    • lalan45
      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.
