Hi everyone! Just thought I'd pop in to say hi and Happy Valentine's Day!

Sorry I haven't been around much, I'm making up for lost time .... lots of catch-up to do after being sick for five years. :) I'm also working part-time for Adam .... and no, I can't get online at work, I'm doing job take-offs and quotes, so it keeps me busy and stretches my mind .... have to get that brain working again, LOL.

Wasn't this one of the discarded possibles when CBC was naming their 2nd album?

I believe it was unceremoniously dropped w/ the Salieri-ish "too many syllables".

Obsession With Comparables.....I thought that was the little filly that stayed just in the wake of Seattle Slew in '78.... :lol:

This is just unbelieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebly heinous!!!!!!!!!! Can't imagine this level of discomfort and, well, HEINOSITY.....mygawd - - they ARE crazy...... my deepest admiration!

It is insanity. The two of them talk about it being a "because it is there" kind of attraction, and an addiction, I suppose. Yes, I could certainly understand the overpowering need to be alone on a barren, frigid landscape for two weeks, eating dried foodstuffs, windburn/frostbitten body parts, no shower for two weeks...OMG...I remain weak just contemplating it......Utter maaaaaaaadnesssss....... :blink:

I do this with all my friends - - but always announce to them - going potty now - but yes, poop never allowed........

Kay, guys, do not understand this rule. Why no pooping while on the phone, but urination is acceptable? Leaving aside the idea of accompanying gas, peeing would be louder if it's an issue of interrupting the conversation with background noise, n'est pas? I do not flush while on the phone, as that certainly does overpower the dialogue....must therefore make sure to go back and flush after I've hung up... <_<

Yes, MUCH better.......though.........was out until 3 a.m. :ph34r: Well not OUT exactly but more - UP until 3......

and no - - I'm not telling ;)

(((Gasp)))))).........

TELL!!!!

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd pop in to say hi and Happy Valentine's Day!

Janet!! Tell us! Did you use solipsistic last night? How were your desserts?

As I sat listening and participating in the discussion, I realized my fatal error. I couldn't remember the word. I should have written the sentence out and stuck it in my pocket . . . kind of like they do in "whose line is it anyway". I kept trying to think of it . . . saucesastic . . . soliclastic . . .sillyplastic . . .

The dessert turned out just fine but two left early and two more said they gave up sweets for lent so there's a lot left over. I did have one that took extra home with her. I've managed to have cake for breakfast and lunch.

Yay horse racing!!! :D:)

I used to ride my bike to Arlington circa '75 to '79.

Poring over The Racing Form, knowing that w/ the proper weight given to each variable, an equation DOES exist which can divulge the winner.

(Notice I didn't say an attainable formula - in the end it's still a craptacular crapshoot)

But in pari-mutual wagering, all winning requires is outsmarting the other attendees, not the house.

Have you SEEN the riffraff that hits the track on a weekday afternoon? :rolleyes:

P.S. Seattle Slew was '77. :lol:

Yes, it's been great!

Back to work? LOL I haven't worked for pay in YEARS! I used to do a lot of youth work, but got out of it when I got sick. I decided to work for Adam instead this time .... and this job pays! :D I haven't worked a paying job in about 18 years! It's just three days per week, not much ... I come in around lunchtime.

Mmmm Nuggets w/ Almonds were one of my former vices.

Didn't realize a bag could survive beyond the day of purchase. :blink:

WHOA!! Will your house need a wheelchair ramp?

I actually fell off the wagon recently a few times, under the insidious guise of "wth, I'm gonna feel crappy tomorrow anyway", then letting some part of my brain post-date a fantastical decision to test soy lecithin! :lol:

You guys know the Hershey's size called Giant, I'm sure . .. .. . .. .well, I'm sure you also all know there's another size bigger. One of the times I went into overdrive to overdose on TWO of those, because :lol: it's too hard to decide betw regular & w/ almonds. :ph34r:

The Tjoe 3pack by the register became overwhelmingly tempting a couple times too.

Feels so strange to have done that because I'm almost never truly tempted to cheat since the sudden wellness last summer.

No residoo :P

LOOK!! There's Bev!!!!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
