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....

      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

      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.
