Actually, I've referenced Ptaoughmhmn elsewhere two or three times, and used our special Psilly Pspelling. Imagine what others were thinking whilst reading my post.. .. ."Wow - - which member is THIS? Must be from Latvia or Iceland". And then trying to figure out how his name would be pronounced..... :lol::lol:

Hello, Sillies,

Another beautiful afternoon, and I'm out on the deck with three furry friends (Tuppence is inside for some reason).

And where is Sarah? I speak of Silly Sarah--I know where our wayward employee Sarah is. That Sarah is due August 2.

They must be working Amanda hard. She has gone more than 24 hours without posting, although I did see her lurking earlier while I was also lurking. ;)

Nothing else to add for now.

Okay...I've got another query from The Ripper. This one is FASCINATING!

Just imagine:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three candidates. For whom would you vote ?

Candidate A.

Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B.

He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C

He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be our choice?

After everyone has chosen, I'll report the last part of this exercise that Jack gave me. He's keeps me thinking, this kid.....

Pat *giggle* don't be scared.........embrace it :lol:

:lol: :lol: saw this post again, and for some reason I read this, whilst looking at Nik's av, and saw piggle.

Not so strange, really, as Lauren calls me Piggle, Pizzle (who knows what this is? raise yer hands! i'm quite sure pOeter knows) and other variations.......Pig Bomb, Piggie, Piglet, etc.

OMG. Em, this is clearly a trick question posed by the Ripper, so, I'll just cast my vote at this time for the whiskey drinking opium user who sleeps til noon. :blink::lol:

I, too, feel this is a trick question . . . we are OBVIOUSLY suppose to pick C. So I will pick C so we know what it means if you pick C . . . out of the other two, I prefer B as it appears he doesn't start drinking until the end of the day.

Yes, where IS Alex :unsure:

I'm here! I guess it's been awhile since I last posted, eh? Didn't realize I'd been away so long. Some of the non-Sillyville posts have been getting on my nerves lately and I've been rather irritable and easily annoyed of late so I took a leave of absence to spare you all from my pissy attitude. Basically, I could use a good smack on the head ;) .

Okay...I've got another query from The Ripper. This one is FASCINATING!

I pick B, cuz it seems like he's someone who could hold his own in any kind of world leaders disagreement. And at least he drinks in the evening, not while in office.

Guess what? I just averted a potential gluten disaster :o

I was thawing some pork chops in the microwave, planning to top with veggies and some salt-free stewed tomatoes. I was chopping the veggies, and re-read the can....I missed this in the store--natural flavors :o:o

It's a store brand, so I checked on-line and it was not on the gluten free list....called CS, but the poor guy who answered was clueless. He offered to put through "an inquiry", but I was in the middle of making dinner <_<

So....I scrapped the original plan, froze the veggies and am going with baked chops with roasted potatoes.

That was a close one :)

They are also dog treats. We sell them. The treats are also known as bullwrinkles, and as steer sticks. Full size they are almost 30 inches, but are popular when cut into 12- 8- or 5-inch pieces.

Oh, and here is some doggie news . . .

I took Josie for her annual check-up/vaccination and what do they find?????? Her knee cap is popping in and out of place. I hadn't noticed any problems when she runs so for the moment, no action needed. However, if (and I think this is more likely when) she does start having issues, she's going to need surgery. Now does anybody else here feel like this is somehow Emily's fault???!!!??? <_<:lol: Baaahhhh!!!!! It's a good thing she's so cute!!!! (I'm talking about Josie, not Emily). ;):lol:

Poor wittle Josie! keep an eye on her, Janet...I've heard that veterenairy knee/hip surgery that is done before things get bad is considerably less involved (read: cheaper)....

      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?

      Is it gluten?

      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.
