Tom!!! Did you get through it without getting perfumed, or cologned??

Yes, I remember Sheila E., her family is quite the musical family, no?

I was unscathed by fumes (yay!) & glad I went. :)

And correctomundo on the Escovedos - most stuck w/ Latin Jazz but her brother Alejandro is a critically-acclaimed rocker in Austin. ;)

AZ has weight on license, but how weird is it that mine wouldn't expire until 2027?!!

OMG!......... :angry::angry::(:o:angry:

PATTI.....Did you hear about the HEINOUS, and I mean HEIIIIIIIIII-NOUS, CLOSING DOWN of highway 95 North AND South this morning???!! For about three hours??!! Uh, we were in that. We sat, in Philadelphia proper, for two hours, at a crawl, and then a stop, and then a crawl....both kids eventually very carsick....we were directed off the highway and ALL the main arteries were gridlocked.

Then I was carsick...... :angry::o

GAWD. It took us three hours to get out of Philly.

A five-hour trip to Lake George was almost nine.

....But I'd still come back! And next time I will stay at Patti's, and miss that horrific chunk of highway.....

Patti! Where's the boob pic?? :lol:;)

You sure will! As The Ripper said so eloquently--you always have a home in Pennsylvania :rolleyes:;):D

Gawd--I didn't hear of the traffic snafu--I was out most of the morning :( Sorry you guys got sick :(

The boob pic is here--and spectacular-- but I can't get one darn (sorry Janet) picture from last night up on the board :angry:

Everybody feeling better tonight?

Ah--ye sillies of little faith.....

I'm at a complete loss as to why I can't upload any of the pics that I have :angry: .....Emily gets home tonight, I'm sure she'll be able to post one. I'm going to email my pics to her, so she'll have lots to work with.

That's why I don't have an av right now--it disappears when you try and upload a new one. Gawd <_<

Apparently you and Emily's bosoms are waaaaaaay too big and must be reduced to fit into the av.

Well, bad fibroid week continues. I would NOT recommend the rapid blood loss Edna, she is much to inconvenient. I got so freaked out on Friday that I actually talked to my boss about my period :ph34r: (He's an MD, a pulmonologist, specifically) Gads.

Got an IV infusion of premarin Friday afternoon and it does seem to have slowed things down considerably, but my brain is toast. I turned the news on and am having a hard time following it. How lame is that.

As soon as the sun hits my (beautifully clean) swing I'm going out to lounge about. You are, therefor forbidden to put up rapid fire avs of the silly summit. Wouldn't want to miss photos of the summit of the century.

:( I'm sorry you're feeling bad, Jess.

Although, considering that most news has been reduced to sound bites and 20-second snippets, I wouldn't let it make you feel lame to not be able to follow it. (If you got the gist of that badly-constructed sentence, you're fine.) :lol:

I really hope you get some relief, though!!!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      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.
