Methinks Susie is snogging with sexy sailors!!!!!

She found caramels in the trash bargain bin?

Nikki and Bev - Have you seen your pets lately? Have you misplaced them? Have you loaned them out to some harlot skank celeb as some sort of weird hair extension?

No animals were harmed in the making of this av.

OK...you are KILLING me here. I saved your av as "Angus lost in Amy Winehouse" Folks- if you EVAH lose anything in Amy, it ain't NEVAH coming back. A friend of mine used to refer to it as the "throwing a hot dog down a hall way"syndrome.

Susie snogging with sexy sailors, sounds like a tongue twister :lol::lol:

Methinks Susie ran off on holiday with Jude Law, or to the Hamptons to that beach house....some kind of adventure.

Nuggets could also be involved :lol:

It's great fun, isn't it? Addictive, in the strangest of ways...I mean, chocolate or gambling I can understand...but a 1,000-mile sled dog race, a million miles away? What the...?.... :rolleyes:

WELL.....Michelle must stop being friendly with this Dastardly David Dalton. This is do or die, man....dig in and leave him in a spray of snow!

So, we've gotten the lowdown on Mr. Sass. D'ya think he may have gotten this "virus" from someone quite recently? Wasn't Susie rather ill last week?

And now it seems that Brent Sass has caught up and all three of them are currently at Pelly Crossing.

In the summer of 1994, Jacquie and I took five weeks and drove to Alaska, visiting a number of places in the real Northwest (the folks in Washington state have a thing or two to learn ;) ). Carmacks and Pelly Crossing are places that I have been to! My brother spent three months in Dawson City this summer.

GO, MICHELLE!!

I've never been up to Whitehorse, but we may go this summer. It's a nine-hour flight (we're closer to France, or Italy...crazy!) Man, I'd love to be up at that finish line!! :)

It's getting crowned at Pelly Crossing. Kelley Griffin and her team arrived about an hour ago. Anderson and Mackey are at Carmacks, while Michelle, Dalton, Sass and Griffin are all at Pelly Crossing.

Woohoo!! Michelle gave Dastardly David Dalton a taste of his own medicine hat.

She came in to a checkpoint a minute behind, but last I checked, she was out & he was not. :D yay!!!!!

Good Morning, Fellow Questers!!

Oh, boy.....gettin' REALLY exciting:

Before he left for work, DH was looking at me with his oft-donned expression, "yeah...sure", when I was going on and on about how involved we all are in Sillyville with Michelle's quest. So I led him over to the laptop and scrolled over the last few posts.

He stood, slack-jawed. Then he let out a large guffaw and said, "Whoa! Amazing...I'll email Ed (his bro and Michelle's DH) this morning and tell him. Such far-reaching fans...That is really something"......I quickly stated, "No, Will......ya gotta get it right. It's really somefin'". :lol::lol:

Amanda! How's your SIL? C-sections can involve some true recovery time, and with a newborn to contend with, I'm sure these coming weeks will be something of a trial. But such a happy, wondrous trial! :)

Peter!! Are you guys getting another dumping of SNOW?! Mygawd....coming down here in a frightful storm-like way.

Morning Em,

We are going to see her tonight, she was worn out last night and since she had been up all night pushing she was very tired. So we didn't want to bother her at all. Plus she sounded half out of it from the meds yet.

Well, Mygawd...........perhaps she has!!

Soooooooooooziiiieeeeee!?

Brent Sass has recovered from his stomach bug. I believe Susie is there with him. I can just FEEL it. She's nursed him back to health, been hanging onto his back the last couple of days as they whip over the frozen landscape.... :lol::rolleyes:

Amanda, how long does the typical C-sectioned mom stay in hospital down there? I'm curious because here things are HEINOUS. Because we have problems with lack of beds, uncomplicated births have you out in 36 hours, and C-sections I believe are 48-72 hours. Just not long enough..... :angry:

She should be home Thurs or Friday.

My sister was home on Friday and she had her C-section on a Monday.

A few flurries expected today, but no significant accumulation. We are expecting about 5 cms (2 in) on Friday.

Yeah, it's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I haven't cruised to Alaska yet, but when I do that's definitely one thing I want to do on an excursion!

I LOVE dogs, but just the whole experience looks like it would be great!

      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
