Gaaaaaahhh.....Something else to niggle at my brain......for, like the words "ravel" and "unravel", I believe "furl" and "unfurl" are in fact synonyms. This happens rarely in our confounding language, an opposing prefix adding nothing to the meaning of its root word, but there you are.......not certain on this one.

Now isn't that just fascinating?? <_<

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm......Furl? :huh::lol:

I believe its an, um, adverb( :ph34r: ?)

As in: how furl'y go ta git that new pickup y' wanted?

Wow, another beautiful day shaping up here, today... :)

A heads-up: I am heading over to the home of one of our Gang of Four this afternoon, the ones with whom I loll about in hot tubs and drink champagne through the lunch hour. Today we're going to be sitting around a gorgeous pool with unbelievably landscaped grounds bursting with flowers, bonsai and vinery. So, who knows what my posts will contain afterward....... <_<:rolleyes:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm......Furl? :huh::lol:

morning all

this sounds like heaven to me.

have a great 'girlie' time

My great-grandma used to bury her money in the backyard........she didn't trust banks.

My grandmother used to hide money in her bra, and all over the house in what she called "hidey holes" for the same reason :lol:

I lost my silly somewhere :blink: I am so behind, tried to catch up a little, you guys have been busy, and so PHUNNY!

Euphemia :lol:

Jess! :lol: Furl definition.....

It may also be a noun.........

That cat's furl come off in big clumps when you brush it.....

. . . and let us know what alias you are using today, Euphema (or whatever it was).

Yes....I must decide before I head over..... :lol:

These are great friends I am meeting, and the discussions are fascinating (progressively more so, I am certain, the more we drink....However, I have many things to run around and do after our lunch, including pick up Jack from camp - - wouldn't that be grand, stumbling into the campground, yelling and singing, "Jaaaaaaacko! I is heeeeeere!"). Our group is comprised of me, then the psychiatric nurse, the family doc, and the high school teacher. Quite interesting dynamic......

Correct! This has happened on and off since Scott started playing with things again.

I like it to be squished like this. :P Now the main part is actually on my screen. For months now, I've been having to scroll over to the side every single time I get on a new page. <_<

Ever since the bog board update however many months ago (I can't keep track of time) when all the green was added, the forum screen no longer fit on my monitor screen. I always had to scroll over. Now today I don't. :lol:

Weeeeeelllll, when I post, it's still too wide, but not as bad.

Hmm, yes. I tried to shut that thread down by adding some science. Usually it works; once I post something sensible, no one else ever posts. On that particular thread, however, I noticed that my comments were completely ignored. I guess that works too... If you can't be right, be ignorant.

Gah! I totally wasn't ignoring you, Jess. Just didn't really have anything to add.

And I guarantee that you're going to get a response.

Here's the thing--I've had it about up to here with the ignorance (good word) and opinions posing as fact.....as you can probably tell, I normally go out of my way to avoid arguments but I was gonna burst if I didn't say something ;)

Poor Amanda was trying to explain what actually happened in clinical trials in a hospital, and even that had to be "bested". <_<

I posted on your link on genes on the 'e' thread.

It was a really good one and it was easy to understand. Best I've read on this.

This gene this is a big concern for me as my 33 year old son is going gluten-free now.

I know, oh ma GAH! It drives me nutzoid when people state opinion as if it were fact, and when people find it impossible just to say, "Good point." <_<

So here I am I slept with my kitty cat all day, did a jigsaw puzzle and stayed in the cool house since I hear it is hotter than Heck outside....enough to make even the anal glands sweat ;)

I am off to check the glutenease thread....

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

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      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.
