If yall just heard a scream- nay, an ear-splitting SHRIEK- of pure shock and rage coming from a southerly direction, that was ME! Somebody just suggested to a 13 year old child that it's ok to order food with a little gluten, as long as you take some GlutenEase with it! :angry::angry: :angry:

:angry: Just the sort of false information we do not want coming from this board (or to people in general). For heaven's sake!

Amanda!! This is why we sane (and hilarious) individuals must stick together! Thank gawd fer Sillyville...... . ..

I gotta commend everyone for jumping to the aid of that poor, confused thirteen year-old before he picked up his bottle of Glutenease and headed for Pizza Hut. You all sounded serious but caring and concerned, and that's exactly what was needed.

Well.....I had two glasses of champagne and one glass of wine, floated around the pool and chattered on and on about life, death and everything.

AND THEN, SOMETHING INCREDIBLE....... :lol::lol:

I went into our hostess's gorgeous house to go pee. While I was sitting on the toilet, I reached for one of the magazines that were stacked in a basket beside me. I pulled out an ancient Readers Digest....from 1978. Bemused, I flip through it. And there it was. Unbelievable. A two-page feature entitled "I Am Fifi's Anal Glands". I was chortling madly....could not read it, just looked at the diagram and continued laughing.

The chances of that.......

I should have asked my friend if I could take the article, and put the diagram up as my av.

Did you know that they can get impacted, just like wisdom teef? :blink:<_<

Interrupting the venting about those "other" posters for a public service announcement.

The Pringles light (or something like that) appear to have no gluten. However, after consuming an entire can for dinner (yea, whatever, keep it to yerself) I can tell you that eating that much Open Original Shared Link is a very bad idea :ph34r:

There it is!!! But that article is new - - honest to gawd, this was truly in a 1978 Readers Digest. I'm wondering if it was the same author as the writer in The Dog Star Daily, reprinting on a 30th anniversary er sumthin'......

Anyway, I did not read the article, as I was laughing and had to get back to my company, so I don't know if it is the same. Toooooo phuneeeeeee..........

Okay.....you guys still think I've imagined all this, don'cha?

...How much champagne DID I have, anyways?....... :unsure:

:lol: Just about......but no, I don't want to be silly. :lol:

I walked calmly into the camp, spotted Jack amongst a group of other kids, waved, and he trotteed over, obviously surprised. He said, "Hey, Mom.....you're here! Man, I was sure you were gonna be SO late. You had yer debauchery lunch today, didn't you?" :lol::blink::ph34r:

Are you sure you both haven't had a little sumphin on the side? <_< Everything is hunky dory here.

*snort* :lol: 'twould seem that way, eh?

I know YOU GUYS read it. It's the people that actually should be trying to learn something that skip over other people's non-supportive comments.

(Thanks for the g-ease bump, Patti . Makes me feel like we're some sort of conspiracy group, dedicated to irradicating ignorance (and failing, badly))

that made me crack up........

I haven't gone outside of psillyville much.......that thread was too long to read but.....

PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! What are you THINKING, posting with The Others???????????????????

(actually, sound advice IS needed there evidently)

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

harrummmphff :angry: Even Patteeey was about to blow? that's really saying sumfin'

I do love how we discuss our things about other posters here, on the WORLD WIDE WEB - 'snot like anybuddy kan see it er nuttin' :lol:

Zao Chen Hao, Sillies! (Mandarin Good Morning in anticipation of Beijing 2008).....

Can it be possible that tomorrow is August 1st??! :o Where is the summer going? We've had so much dampness here, it feels like summer just began this week. Sigh..........

Unfortunately, I was glutened at my lunch get-together yesterday. Dunno what it was, but can barely get me shorts done up this morn (just looooove this look :angry: ) and the cramps are here.....

Being glutened also causes my blood sugar to spike, so there was that to deal wif as well. Exercise is my signature way of combatting spikes, so I shall attempt a good run this am.

Fat belly and all.

OMG.....Janet!! I am now officially your avatar........The resemblance is striking and fearful. Perhaps I'd best exercise in the house....... :lol:

Morning Everyone!

So I am off @ 12 today and will be gone the rest of the week to my moms for our annual summer fun August. We always take a few days together to do this and I love it. We plan on go wild berry picking in the morning on Friday. I do have to pick John up tomorrow but my mom and I are going to hit up Sal's, which by the way you guys have got to see my new tank top I got there yesterday at 1/2 price day. I love it! Very intricate looking.

we always take my mom to the fireworks tomorrow evening. Saturday is the annual town parade....is our float registered? We still have time to get it in order!!!!

Then we are heading to the county fair. I decided not to enter any artwork this year, I haven't had the time to focus on it as much. I am going to check out what other entries there are. There is so many talented artists that enter the fair. It is always fun.

So if you don't hear from me as much. I will try to check in. Bye Guys!!!!

      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.
