Gaaaaahhhhhhh....all this talk of happy childhood junk food memories.... :(:( I've got none, really....T'was diagnosed with type one at seven. There went all the Dairy Queen weekend treats, McDonald's milkshakes, Wendy's frosties....

When I'm hypoglycemic, I'll have a half a caramilk bar at times......YUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM......

So! She's HERE!!!!!!

Elsie is a gorgeous standard poodle. A little smaller than Gus, and pute white. She DESPARATELY needs to be clipped, so I've got her going in on Monday. I'll put up her av then. Gus quite fancies her. They walk together on their leashes splendidly - - this is important, as DH and I will run with them both together.

The kids were SO surprised. They didn't believe that she was actually OUR dog, that she was staying when we first brought her into the yard. When it became clear, Jack's eyes welled up, and in a little voice, he said, "I can't believe this. I'm SO happy, mommy"....

And big hugs all around. My daughter immediately got on the phone and called all ten of her friends. Hilarious...... :rolleyes::lol:

So far, so great....It's almost too good to be true. I'm waiting for some calamity. Too easy, I tell you...

Off to Petsmart for a new ID tag, and treats!

YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!! Welcome home BellyDog!!! Hope all goes smoothly, Emily!!!

:unsure: Yeah, I was thinkin' this, too. However, Lisa, you want to make sure you have your own fluid onslaught (whatever it may be) and not let Emily end up owing you one because she got yours . . . Have you noticed her high post count? Her next big turnover will most likely require some sort of insurance mandated clean-up. You don't want that!!!! Keep yer own . . . even if you have to rig it . . . oops, I spilled a glass of milk on the floor . . . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!! Welcome home BellyDog!!! Hope all goes smoothly, Emily!!!

It's so great here.... :) You guys are terrific, excited about my little life's twists, let alone caring at all! I honestly was as excited to tell you guys about Elsie (perhaps even more... :ph34r: )as I was to tell my kids!

. . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

You bet, it could REALLY be worth it, as you can perhaps have Patti's plumber in to install it..... ;)

So, I meant to ask . . . what was it that tipped the scales for your hubby? Are you still walking around nekkid?

It's bizarre....I just don't know...

Perhaps it's been because I haven't been nekkid....... :rolleyes:<_<

Emily, great news about Elsie. Somehow I just knew Will would come around to seeing this your way. Occasionally I am an optimist. Which reminds me...

To an optimist, the glass is half-full.

To a pessimist, the glass is half-empty.

To an engineer, the glass is the wrong size.

The biggest excitement in my life today was repainting the lines in the parking lot at the store.

Now for some really big excitement, if I remember right, today was Alex and Ryan's wedding. She's about two hours away from me, and had pretty much the same great weather we did. I hope it was perfect for them. :)

She should follow Tom's lead and have a sidekick with her so that she can check in off and on all day long!!! I hope the yeti is behaving himself. You know how he gets when he doesn't catch the garter.

Just in case you are checking in . . . Congratulations Alex!!

The bank have phoned me today to tell me that hubby\\\'s card has been \\\'cloned\\\' (very sci-fi) and that a person in India has very kindly taken it upon themselves to spend ALL our cash (and then some)

Either that or Terry has a secret double life in Mumbai :unsure: (he does look very tanned :blink: )

HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can people like that sleep at night?!

Umm, Nikki, my dear friend, when you say you had your three children "the old fashioned way," do you mean, no epidural?! OWIE! I could not handle that. I wanted my epidural. Actually, I tended to want it when I was about 8 months along. :rolleyes:

Yeah, those were my fav. And let's not forget about Moon Pies :P

(We're going to have Nikki googling like crazy :blink::lol::lol:)

Moonpies!!! Ohhhhh, how I loved Moonpies. All that sticky, gooey, deliciousness! I'd estimate that at least two inches on my hips are due to a Moonpie phase I went through a couple years ago. sigh.

The kids were SO surprised. They didn't believe that she was actually OUR dog, that she was staying when we first brought her into the yard. When it became clear, Jack's eyes welled up, and in a little voice, he said, "I can't believe this. I'm SO happy, mommy"....

Omg Emily... that's so sweet!!! I actually teared up a little! I'm such a sap. :lol:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
