Infrequent visitor to sillyville here. I heard a rumor if you pass over a milestone number of posts here (799 to 800 for example), you can experience strange after effects. What symptoms might I expect? Does it involve itching, burning or swelling in any way? Can I take humaworm or some other medication to prevent it?

Makeup tips anyone? :lol:

OH CRAP. :huh: so.....now......they/Janet really DO know everything about me.....they came on here, under an alias, probably the minute I told them I was gluten-intolerant, a couple of years ago.....just pretending to be this wacky yet innocuous woman in middle America w/ two kids.....and now, they really do know way too much, hence their cautious stares.........

I have to move. :lol:

Well hello, wacky lady. :lol:

Makeup tips......lately I've had some boulder-sized structural (i.e., face-changing) zits and I put clay imbued w/ yeti scat on them to dry them up. :lol:

Your milestone posts should involved fluids. Could be bodily - yours or family members' - house fluids, outside flooding, anything like that. Fluids of any kind. The itching and burning......now that is something else that we just don't cover here, I'm afraid.

I'm infrequent here too, must've been in here at least once, as I still get notification of messages from silyville.

Thanks for the laughs.

After 800 posts according to rumour, you can experience strange after effects. I don't think it will be itching burning or swelling symptoms, as to me that sounds far too much like gluten poisoning. It has to be something that strengthens the character, as to post that many posts means someone is quite tenacious and determined.

I personally would like to think that after that many posts a sense of humour is attained.

Hi Cathy and Colleen :D

Glad you two popped back! Don't be strangers--we can always use more silliness! :P

I've missed so much silliness! I've been a busy beaver lately -- mostly good stuff. Hanging out a lot with Colin as well. Poor guy got a vicious puking virus and ever so kindly passed it on to me, but thankfully I seemed to have had a dulled down version of the bug. I bounced back pretty quickly -- props to my increasingly strong immune system.

I hope everyone is well. Bev and Patti, I'm sorry about the liver and the BP stuff. And Jess, sorry about the Psoriasis. Both my dad and bro have psoriasis but thankfully not too badly.

I think I'd have to go for the tiny bum on the head instead of the dangling chin-feet. I could imagine the feet getting caught in things which could be dangerous and painful.

Sorry about the undergrounder Susie. I get them on my chin occasionally and they hurt like heck. I frequently get them along my spine and when I lean back in a chair and the pimple gets crushed, it brings tears to my ears. Quite exquisitely painful.

Hi Alex :D I've missed you!

Sorry about your and Colin's stomach bug--glad you were able to bounce back quickly....Hope Colin is feeling all better now too.

Undergrounders on your back--heinous! I used to get them on my chin and it would take forever for them to go away. Ugh :angry:

Oh....and the reason I came on was to give you your daily dose o'Uncle Ray!

A distinguished young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the priest beside her: "Father, may I

ask a favor?" "Of course, my child. What may I do for you?"

"Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday that is unopened and

well over the Customs limits, and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it

through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?"

The priest answered: "I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."

"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you".

When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked, "Father, do you

have anything to declare?"

"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."

The official thought this answer strange, so he asked: "And what do you have to declare from your

waist to the floor?"

"I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused."

Roaring with laughter, the official said: "Go ahead,Father. Next!"

Colleen!! The fluids should be building around you about now. Could be bodily, enviornmental, or mechanical (think motor oil or engine lubricant, but on a scale you've never even imagined before). Check your house insurance policy for exemptions. Have tarps handy.... :lol:

Just got back from follow-up appt with Dr....2nd blood test showed liver enzyme is "borderline" but since all other liver function tests are "perfect" she's not worried and will re-test in a year.

My blood pressure is another story :( I have to start a new med in addition to the one I'm on. And be more careful with salt :unsure:

Patti, what are the blood pressure meds like? Or are there a bunch, and they're all different...? I had a consult with my doc yesterday over the phone, and I told her mine hadn't gone down much. She gave me two more weeks for my numbers to go down, or I'll probably have to go on meds. At age not-quite-30. :unsure:

What does this mean???

I just don't know.

But... Birthday party tomorrow! Yay!

Saturday afternoon, not doing much. Big son is pining for a mcdonalds breakfast and says it must be a month since he's had one. Trying to figure out when I last had Mcd's for breakfast. I guess it was nearly three years ago, and hubby pipes up, yeah, just before I was coeliaced.

Overheard a group of 10 year olds talking about farting the other day. One says "Did you know farts can kill?" I was dying to put my hand up and ask how, but then it would've blown my cover. Have to ask, is it the fartee that dies, or the recipient of the smell? I'll put my money on the recipient of the smell.

Well, since my cover has been blown . . . here is the real picture of me and Bev and Panera's. Thanks to Bev and Carla for keeping my secret all this time but since Will the cat who is apparently crapping in my yard is out of the bag,I guess there is no longer a reason to carry on with the ruse.

Cathy!!!!! GAHHHHH!!!! you get a notification whenever there's a new message!!!!!! You need to turn that off!!!! You know our goal is to take over OMG as the most posted thread . . . you'll be buried in notifications!!

I'm with Julie, it's the recipient that will lose the phart battle. The pharter has immunity.

Gawd.

Birthday party, Sarah! Good luck - - little boy's house parties are....fun? challenging?....I know I don't ever get to sit during one of Jack's.... <_<:)

Morning, all!

We woke up this morning to a surprise transit strike. After getting a tentative deal that was widely criticized as being too, too sweet for the union, they voted yesterday to reject it by 65%. And then walked out at midnight with less than an hour's notice.

So, unless something unexpected happens quickly, Monday will be hell on wheels in Toronto. :angry:

      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?

      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.
