Amanda, when Jacquie and I were in Orlando, we went to the space center. This was in 1996. There were two tours available, one of the civilian NASA-operated Kennedy Space Center, and one of the more historic Cape Canaveral Air Force Station where the earlier missions were launched. We did both. I would do it again. It was a much more enjoyable day than the one we spent at Disney World.

I read a lot of books, and am currently reading "The Mushroom Man" by Stuart Pawson. It is a murder mystery set in England in the south of Yorkshire. The protagonist is Detective Inspector Charlie Priest, and when the story is from his point of view, the narration is in the first person. I read this passage this afternoon. Charlie is speaking.

I grabbed my book of numbers an wrote out a few for Gilbert. After stuffing a few plastic bags in my pockets I was down the stairs faster than a lighthouse keeper with diarrhoea and an outside toilet.

That image was just so, well, celiac that I had to share it with my silly friends.

I don't see any "warn(0%)" by your post count btw, and never heard of such a thing. Moderators know?

Obviously, this spammer must have nothing better to do today than to tell us about "pizzle enhancers????" Sounds like a personal problem to me!

Perhaps he should just go out and buy a sports car like every other guy who's trying to compensate for something. It's bad enough that we all get this garbage in our emails.

Well, g'night sillies. :)

Such d%$#@#$ baggery!!!!! Now MINE says "warn (0%)"!!

"Lighthouse D" belongs in the lexicon :D

In the context I'd always seen a$$cracker, it seemed more a combo of a$$hole and the southern usage of cracker, like an ignorant bumpkin.

Although, Em may have somphin there with the other boob thing :P

:lol: 'twas not the other boob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susie, you must 'fess up, my dear! :P

Okay...........here's what happened. :( and I am a compleeeeeeeeeeeet eejit.

We went to a restaurant where I have been at least a DOZEN times since dx, and eaten safely. There is a wonderful kitchen manager there, with whom I usually speak - no problems, EVER.

Well............Saturday night, after a coupla mojitos, this is where we went, and we had a new, young waiter. I told him about my issues, but quite briefly.............ordered shrimp w/ garlic/butter/white wine and asparagus. He assures us this is okay.

I ate my shrimp..........but noticed that there seemed to be a .........mealy? quality to the shrimp.......as if coated with something. I paid no heed and kept going. :(

Sunday, I was not well..........but attributed it to mojitos and - later - red wine. :ph34r: Yes, Kissey and I do like to get our drink on...........so I thought this, on Sunday, was the problem........more..... beverage than usual.

So - I ate the leftover shrimp/asparagus (which were so pithy and undercooked as to feel like eating a TREE TRUNK :blink: ) on Sunday..........and today.............. :( many, many trips to toilet and my BRAIN??????? As bad as it can be, my friends. Crying, emotional, dramatic, and thinking the darkest thoughts ever. I put it together..........our restaurant had failed us as there had been nothing else suspicious or not made from home.

Today's depression was quite dramatic.......horrible...very sad. :( Dark thoughts.

But - - I have gone to Save Mart and purchased ONLY safe, whole meats/fish/poultry/veggies/fruits - -have to be pure again and make myself right. HARRUMPH!!!!!!!!!!! Been living dangerously because I am trying to seem......normal..........going out and ordering things and eating other things that seemed....easy and right......but not being careful. BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I now know that I have to be more strict. Kissey can do his own things away from me and even with me but........*I* have to be quite careful as cannot afford to be this messed up.

and there you have it, phfriends. Susie is a careless, daredevil, gluten-brained, reckless eejit. :ph34r:

I swear Susie - I do NOT know how you can post all day seeming like your usual Dingo self (well, not 100%, but .. ..you know) under these circumstances.

:( I had the same shrink in Monterey for five years, once to twice a week. Loved her. She knew, if I ever lost my sense of humoUr (which is somehow a detached portion of my brain, and works better in writing than in person) that things were very, VERY dire......she considered hospitalizing me a few times.....and in hindsight, I wish I'd gone. Would have given more credibility to my struggles............but I fought like hell to stay out, because I had a wonderful mom, and dingo whom I could not leave, and would recuperate at the Janie sanitarium. :huh:

night, sillies. Bad day, but half the carpet is shamPOOed, tomorrow, the rest. :weaksmile:

Did I mention that Elsie has put on five pounds since we've had her? :) No more angular boniness to her frame, and her back legs do seem stronger. Such a happy girl.....

Elsie and Gus are currently sprawled out on the office floor behind me, chewing on each other's ears. When they are finished with each other they always approach me in a rush, completely covered in slobber (greenguy)......

Susie, what did you do about all the playful dingo slobber?! :rolleyes::lol:

She wants to know if he prefers dudes. :o:lol::lol:

Gaaaahh! Teen trash-talk.. ...how very....graphic and.. ...ewwwww.

Mornin' Sillies :D

Boy, this warning thing has people in a tizzy! I just logged on--can everybody now see their own, or does everyone see everyone else's? I'm confuzzled :blink:

Ah Suzzle--the restaurant meal :angry: Well, you tried to get a safe meal--that's really all you could have done. The safe foods prepared at home should have you back in the pink before too long. My last glutening (the dates <_< ) lasted 10 days, so be patient :)

I see Judy! :D

Em--your two pooches nibbling each other's ears--so cute! :)

Nik--still soggy, are ya? Glad to hear you're keepin them feet in sneekers! :P

I had a dream last night about Jess :lol: Alls I remember was she lived in a cool loft and had lots of people around.

elye Community Regular

I have no warning percentages beside me. I would think that not being part of this Visible Percentage Warning Club (VPWC) matters not, but by the sounds of things, it's currently de rigueur... ... .

I had a dream last night about Jess :lol: Alls I remember was she lived in a cool loft and had lots of people around.

Question: I have not as yet had any dreams involving Sillies, so I am curious as to how it will transpire when it does happen - - since we don't really know what Jess looks like, what did she look like in your dream, Patti? How did you know it was her? Did she have to tell you who she was? "Hey - - it's me.....you know.. ..Sillyville Jess"....

Others have had Citizens of Sillyville dreams....how do we know that we're dreaming of one another?! :huh::lol:

Nikki! You dreamed of me being quite wealthy and b!tchy....What did I look like? Was I lovely? Did I start to run, and look like a cow? :rolleyes:

elye Community Regular

AH!... .... . .. ...There it suddenly is.... ... ... ...I am part of the Zeros... .. ..... <_<:unsure:

I have to post just so I can see my warning level :P

Hmm, cool loft. I'll have to work towards that.

The new cats are getting weened off canned food. They are certain that this signals impending death by starvation. :ph34r:

I keep seeing that topic . . . Food Attachment Issues . . . and keep reading it as Foot Attachment Issues and thinking that Nikki is working out the logistics of her Feet Transplant.

Sillie Em...I've seen Jess, she had an av up a while back taken while on a trip. Also in that dream was the man who bought our house last summer.....I wish to heck I could remember more cuz' it was probably a good 'un :lol:

I don't dream all that often, or at least remember them, but when I do it seems that everything is all there at once :o

Weird.....and quite exhausting :huh:

On to more important news.....I fit into my size 10 crop pants as of this morning!!! :D:D:D And not lay-on-the-bed-and-hold-my-breath-so-I-can-zip- them, either :D Stood there and zipped 'em right up! :) I kept them hanging in my closet for 2 years, never giving up hope :lol:

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Susie, what did you do about all the playful dingo slobber?! :rolleyes::lol:

Well, Em, dingos don't slobber!!!!!!! Annie does, however, foam at the mouth and have shoestring spit ONLY and I mean ONLY at the dog park. :blink: 'tis most curious.........

So glad your standards are enjoying each other, and Elsie, gaining weight and strength! :wub:

I have no warning percentages beside me. I would think that not being part of this Visible Percentage Warning Club (VPWC) matters not, but by the sounds of things, it's currently de rigueur... ... .

      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).
