*Peers from behind the land of no forum* Is this thing on? Testing...1.2.3.

Wow...I missed this place. :(

Good to see a tonne of good news these days after our brief bout with psillie withdrawl.

Just checking in from the fair city of Winnipeg to let you all know things are good for me as well. I am going out to buy some locally made gluten-free beer tomorrow night. It's amazing. :) They have some in the hotel bar where I am staying, and I can only assume it would be less expensive else where.

*yawn* but now I must get some sleep.

Morning Sillies!

We had a nifty storm overnight but I was given Robitussen with Codene so I slept very well! :):)

I am only here for a little while this morning and then I am leaving to see my sister! I am so excited!

See all you sillies later :)

Morning, Sillies!

All is right with the world....our technical difficulties seem behind us. Thanks so much, Patti and Ptaoughmghmn, for the emails to keep me sane. They kept the worst scaries at bay. :)

RYAN! Home-brewed, gluten-free beer??! And it's inexpensive? man, what we would give.....Here in Ottawa our only choice is La Messagere, brewed in Quebec. Tastes rather like dishwater, and it is $17.50 for a six-pack. Yes, a SIX-pack!! :angry:

Sarah, I am so sorry about all this sh!t in your life. You're such a good mom, and an upbeat, hilarious person......why you?? :manymoremadfaces:

You are in my heart....I'm thinking about you........

A wedding today! Amanda, what happy news.....hope you feel good enough to enjoy the ceremony and festivities afterward.

Emily,

It's not really a home brew. Fort Garry Breweries is the name of the company, and the beer is called Nu Bru! (Hey...it even works with psillie pspelling :D ) Apparently it's only slightly less expensive than La Messagere, but to buy a 6 pack has to be cheaper than buying them from the hotel bar.

Well, more courses this morning on how to make my small military museum a little better.

Have a good day psillies.

Amanda, enjoy the wedding... :)

"Life is not a problem to solve, but a mystery to experience"....I am sure you would like a little less *mysterious experiences* right now......hope things get better for you really soon....hang in there.

Mornin Sillies! :D

I gotta pack a lot into this post.....I'm on our desk top re: the slowest loading computer in the western world <_< Matt is away again until Sunday and, old softie that I am, I told him to take me lap top. Every page takes minutes to load--I'm not kidding.

So....Have a wonderful day, Amanda :) Glad to hear that you got some good sleep last night, finally!

Hi Ryan--that gluten-free beer sounds excellent! Can't believe how expensive the stuff is up there--at least we have Redbridge which isn't so bad. :)

Judy--I know....it's not going to be as as blasted hot today, but it's very humid :angry: I think it's seeping into me brain :lol:

Sarah--you poor thing :( That vomiting sounds absolutely wretched--Gawd, I hope that stops at once. You're a fantastic mom, and your kids know that--look at all you're handling and your first thought is always those two boys. Feel better, sweetie ;):)

Where's Jess? I guess she must be pretty busy at work.

Hi Em :D Yep--all's right with the world.....would be righter if I had me own computer, but what ya gonna do? :P

I'll be back later.....I think I'll try and re-boot this thing again :angry:

Carry on Sillies! :D

Judy! Very bizarre that the multiple quote system isn't working for you....you're hitting the quote button at the bottom of each post from which you want to quote, the one with the plus sign beside it, then when you have them all picked you hit ADD REPLY? Strange it is not working for you......I cannot imagine negotiating this thread without picking out Sillies' dialogues...... <_<:rolleyes:

Yes, and now with clean teeth.

Planning to have my hysteria removed Aug 18th so I'm trying to get as much done as possible (hair cut and hiighlighted-check, teeth fabulous-check, nails done-wait on that one, house de-furred-check). What else do I need?

Having the hysters removed--eh? Well, I'll tell ya, girlfriend, the only thing I regret about having mine was that I didn't do it 15 years ago. ;)

You sound like you're on top of things.....do check with the hospital about the gluten-free situation. I was able to provide all of my own food, so there were no worries there. Make sure they write on your chart in numerous places that you are gluten intolerant and that all of your meds have to be gluten-free, too.

Jess, if you ever want to chat or anything I'm here :)

Jess! August 18th is the big day........

You'll always be hysterical 'round here........

;):)

Let's see, what else do you need....you seem to have everything covered.....

Trying to think of a reason for you to possibly need DD's infamous, too-small-but-perfectly-good goalie pads.

This would make a fascinating, cryptic advertisement in the classifieds:

Woman having just gone through hysterectomy, in need of goalie pads in pristine condition ASAP.......

I agree :lol: Time to retire the boobature :D

Although, keep it handy--you never know when it will be appropriate to display them again ;):P

Computer is working a bit faster.....the phone is also very static-y, so it all may have something to do with the storms last night. Hope so anyway.....

Well this is interesting.....I can do multiple quotes just phine on this computer, but on me laptop each time I hit "quote" it pops me back up to the top of the page. I can still do it that way, but it's more time consuming and annoying.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      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.
