M-m-m....does it quack? Cuz if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck......

Then it's, indeed, a duck. :lol:

It's like a duck with a smaller, rather curved beak... .. perhaps more a budgie....

Busy night, and I TRY to pretend I know what you all are talking about, it just seemed easier to ask. And I thought I could offer a few chuckles.

And YES....those were THE biggest exclamation marks I think I've ever seen.

BTW I got the new Avatar to work, so enjoy.

:lol::lol::lol: I will say . . . you do catch on quick!!

And the name thang is a good thang . . . lots of the psilly names actually stand for something else . . . problem is, can't quite remember . . . hmmmmm

If you scare someone off (such as with an anal gland question) . . . you've Em'd them.

If you post something hillarious but nobody noticed . . . you've been Bev'd.

When you've been hit with an unsuspecting zinger . . . you've been Patti'd.

When you had something phunny to say but can't remember any more . . . you Dingo'd it.

When you've got something important to do but keep procrastinating (especially by camping out on the silly thread) . . . you're pulling a Susie.

Hey?? How'd she get two??

Can't remember the others . . . are there others??

Oh mah gah.... I gotta tell you guys...

So I went back to the Dr to get blood drawn, and the boys and I saw a brand new red Mustang out the back door. The boys, of course, were fascinated. They both love cars, though Lucas is certified Car Crazy. Turns out it was our doctor's daughter's car.

So she had her daughter come back and chat with the boys while I was having the blood draw, and you guys... my boys were SMITTEN! She's probably about 17 or so, and after we left, all the boys could talk about was how preeeeettttty she was, and how SUHWEET her car is!

:rolleyes:

Excellent summary, Janet!

I believe sometime over the winter I earned one:

It has been an interesting day. Violent weather moved through the region this afternoon. We were at the store, and had torrential downpours.

Where we live, the thunderstorms were more severe, with hail the size of golf balls. There was much damage to trees which lost branches and leaves. Our deck was covered with debris, as was much of the neighboUrhood. The screen on my office window, which faced into the storm, has eleven holes in it varying in size up to an inch in diameter.

The yeti was last seen in a crossword puzzle I worked about a week ago, I seem to recall that he was 29 Across.

Tomorrow Jacquie and I will enjoy a day off together. It will be our last for the foreseeable future, barring a miracle. As of Friday noon, it will be just the two of us The person who we took on a couple of weeks back found it to be just too much.

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive. The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine. I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy...

      Gluten food test strips

      I just recently saw something on this.  Has anyone tried test strips?  Which brand is better?  Not sure how they really work and if they really do work.  Thank you, Nancy (aka Borky)

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive.  The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine.  I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy results.  The endoscopy has been the Gold Standard diagnostic, and most healthcare providers won't diagnose celiac disease until your intestinal lining Marsh Score reaches stage 3. You don't really want to wait for the damage to get worse, especially since only five days mostly gluten free gave you relief.  Yes, migranes is one of the 200 symptoms that may be caused by Celiac Disease. Malabsorption Syndrome is often comorbid with celiac disease.  The western diet is deficient in many vitamins and minerals.  That's why gluten processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free processed foods are not; Vitamin D deficiency is a virtual given.  40 to 60% of the industrial population is deficient in vitamin D, Damage to the intestinal lining from celiac disease can decrease the number of vitamin D receptors.  So now you get no vitamin D from the sun (skin cancer scare) the major source of vitamin D, plus absorbtion from food is poor because of intestinal damage.   Low iodine intake is getting more of a concern because the major source of iodine used to be bread (dough conditioner with iodine was stopped in the US in the 1970s), dairy (lactose intolerance from eating quick pickles with vinegar instead of fermented pickles which supply lactase excreting lactobacillus to improve Lactose intolerance. Commercial Dairies have wheat, barley and rye added to the cow feed. Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein causing the problem.  And people use less iodized salt.  In the US intake of iodine dropped 50% from 1970 to 1984. Switch to Grass fed only milk and consider supplementing Liquid Iodine drops to your diet.  The omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of commercial milk is 5:1; Organic milk is 3:1 and grass fed milk is 1:1. The typical western diet is around 14:1, optimum for humans is 1:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1 omega 6:3.  Choose vegetables lower in omega 6, it is inflammatory. Eat fermented foods and switch to Grass fed only milk.  Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein.

      At 41 years old I have been fighting fatigue and joint pain for a couple months.  My family doctor kept saying nothing was wrong but I was insistent that I just didn’t feel right.  Finally after running several blood labs, one came back showing inflammation in my body and I was referred to a rheumatologist.  He was extremely thorough and sat with me and my family for a good hour asking questions and listening. He ordered X-rays of all my joints and more bloodwork.  He suspected some sort of reactive inflammatory arthritis.  My TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) came back at 34. he told me to try going gluten free and out me on Salfasalzin to help the join inflammation.  Over the next couple days going gluten free and doing a lot of research and talking to people with celiacs,  we found that I should have an upper endoscopy for insurance purposes in the future.  I reached back out to my rheumatologist and expressed this concern and he got back to me stating I was correct and resume regular gluten diet and stop the medication until after that scope.     They were able to schedule me in for 2 days later.  I had been gluten free, or as close to it as I could be for about 5 days.  I know I ate some brats with it but wanted to use them up.  My symptoms had gotten slightly better in those 5 days.  I felt less fatigue and joint pain was slightly better(it had gotten really bad) so for these last 2 days I’ve gone crazy with wheat bread, pasta and such.  I’m hoping those 5 days didn’t screw this endoscopy up.  I can’t imagine after a life of gluten, my intestines healed in 5 days and after eating gluten again for these couple days,  my stomach hurts, joint pain is coming back up so I know the inflammation is there.   Hinesight after this diagnosis, I have had chronic migraines since my late teens.  Has that been a lingering symptom of celiacs all these years?  I’ve never really had the stomach issues, for me it came in heavy these last couple months as the fatigue, just always feeling tired and exhausted.  And the joint pain.     So getting in the car for the 2 hour drive to the hospital for this scope now.     Wish me luck!
