Morning, Sillies!

Canada's women's soccer team is presently playing China..... . . think we may get badly beaten... . .China is one strong team..... . .

Hi, Jin! What a beautiful little rabbit!

"May you live in interesting times." For those of us who moderate here, it has been "interesting times" for the last 24 hours or so.

Mygawd.........It's not ME causing you trouble, is it, PeOter?.... . . . ..... :huh::unsure:

... . ...is it something I said??... . . . . . ..... ;)<_<

I want to second Judy's thank you to you, PeOter. Moderating is a thankless job, and this forum is very lucky to have you. :)

Great that you've got help on the way at your store. This will keep the freight train at bay.

I went for my annual follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist today. I had some problems with Open Original Shared Link which required minor laser surgery in February of 2004. Today's examination shows no change from four years ago. :) (So far, this is the only sign of complications--an enlarged blood vessel in one eye.)

Excellent, Peoter....your eyes are holding steady after four years! I'm always holding my breath when I go to my yearly appointment with my diabetes eye specialist, waiting for news of the first complication signs. So far, so good..... . . . .

PeOter, methinks you should put up an avatar a la Jess and Janet - - a big shot of your eye, so we can see how healthy it is. :huh::lol:

Canada just scored!!!!!!! :):)

o. k. already you are THE QUEEN . i'll give you that one ....... or is it a voting thing .. queens could be voted in ......no? do we need campagaining ... give us your "if i am elected" , speach.....and get ready with your thanks for voting me in aceptace one too.

There is quite a complex system of ascention here, Jo. Quite an involved process involving lineage charts, DNA testing....... . . eventually, it ends up being whoever is the first poster of the flipover page at the hundred mark.... . . . . . :rolleyes:

China scored..............! Tied at one..................... . . . . . :o:unsure:

there is a light at the end of the tunnel (I hope it is not the headlight of an incoming train :rolleyes: ).

Dropping in for a quick visit. I'm current on reading, but don't have much silly in me to share. There is an ancient Chinese curse, I believe, that goes something like, "May you live in interesting times." For those of us who moderate here, it has been "interesting times" for the last 24 hours or so. :angry:

I was going to mention today how there are some major egos and attitudes around the forum lately . . . yowsa . . . and as I have been following some of the hostility dialogue, I find things phunnie that I probably shouldn't :P Oh well, my sense of humoUr has gotten me into trouble before, I'm sure it will again.

Peter glad the eye appt went well . . . so maybe you can start paying your doc bills in dog food.

MAYBE you can heal his dog with your food and he can heal your eye bulbs......... :lol: yes i meant 'bulbs' trying to bring some humor here.

love all you guys

judy

:lol::lol::lol: - Totally tickled my tummy that Judy had to tell us that she meant to say 'bulbs'!!!

I want to second Judy's thank you to you, PeOter. Moderating is a thankless job, and this forum is very lucky to have you. :)

Wow . . . way to totally ignore the other moderators on this thread, Emily!!! Do you really want to do that in these "troubled" times??? For my part, I think ALL of you moderators do a fantastic job!!! :brown-noserface:

(Did you see how I did that, Emily??? You just don't mention names. You group them all together and then you don't get in trouble for leaving anyone out!! Remember a little less than a year ago when Bev left me out of a "What everyone was doing at the party" list . . . see how I still haven't gotten over it?? . . . :lol::lol::lol: )

PeOter, methinks you should put up an avatar a la Jess and Janet - - a big shot of your eye, so we can see how healthy it is. :huh::lol:

:lol::lol: - Yes!! Go fer it!!!

Em - Love the new Gusatar!!

Jin - Boomer looks adorable!! - My neighbor (I'm guessing mid to late 50's) broke down and got herself a bunny not too long ago . . . she's a sweetheart . . . both the neighbor and the bunny.

P.S. How is Amanda's husband doing? The last I was on here, he had just lost his friend in a car wreck and was severely depressed. I hope he is doing better. Such things are difficult to recover from. I have some great things I got in e-mail that I will try to post soon for everyone.

Hi Jin- nice to see you again. John is doing better. It's been about 2 months now. Thanks for thinking about us. :) Cute bunny!

i'm in but it could be costly for me....no? coming from hawaii? what state are you in ? ha .. ha... or was it uk or canada?

We live in PA--and work in Hershey where the chocolate isn't soo good anymore ;)

I went for my annual follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist today. Today's examination shows no change from four years ago. :)

It's a small world. She looked, and sure enough, the computer had a record of Dr K buying food and being served by her.

Yes interesting times Peter....can't we all just get along?!?!?!? Wishful thinking I guess <_< Glad yer appt went well, phunny coincidence about yer Dr shopping at yer store :lol:

And I second and third and fourth the THANKS to all the moderators, tis not an easy job when there are so many differences of opinion and clashing personalities.

I wanted to share my good news with you all. Mom got me a bunny! :) He is so adorable! Boomer is his name.

Hi Jin :) I thought you named the bunny Peekaboo :huh:

Boomer is very cute too, that's what I named one of my bunnies :lol:

:lol: Janet, how's the knee?

Well I watched the opening ceremonies, unfortunately my local station had a lot of technical difficulties due to a mjor storm we had last night and the sound kept going out, I was quite bummed. But WOW what a visual feast for the eyes it was.

Emily, what was the thing you were talking about the one in the middle controlling it?? I kept looking for something in the middle, but had no idea what I was looking for :lol::lol::lol:

Wondering how the Schmoozle and the Weeze fared last night, anxiously awaiting how they rated them in comparison to year's past..........

Oooooohhhh......must go search out these explosive threads. So fascinating to be a bumbling outsider and peek into these worlds of clashing opinion, opposing intellects, feet-stamping, sabre-rattling.....and I never know what in hell's going on...... :huh:<_<:rolleyes:

Emily, what was the thing you were talking about the one in the middle controlling it?? I kept looking for something in the middle, but had no idea what I was looking for :lol:

:lol::lol: You know that unbelievable grid with the hundreds of moving squares that went like a wave, then spirals, then Chinese characters, all incredibly timed and flowing? Of course we know NOW that each of those squares had a person under it, moving it up and down with staggering precision, as they all burst up and began waving at the very end. Well, I thought at first that the squares were being moved by a computer somewhere....it never occurred to me that people could actually do this, so precisely. During the performance, our announcer mentioned that it was individual people under each square, kneeling, crouching, then standing and crashing back down at the exact moments needed.

Now, was I just a dolt? :lol: Did everyone else know from the very beginning that there were li'l people under those things? :rolleyes::huh:

Judy! We got big eyes for avatars.......I keep thinking about yer cauliflower ear......could you post a close-up of it as your av? :lol:

Oh, that is terrific.....

You guys have to root for our Ian Miller - - he's the 62 year-old equestrian rider. This is his ninth Olympics. C'MON, GRAMPA!!!!!! :lol::lol:

I love the story about your flag-bearer....the Sudanese refugee. What a beautiful face, smiling into the crowd, and what a horrific childhood.... . .now he stands to win a gold medal. Those are the real stories of the Olympics....... :):)

Spruezee!!! You missed it????! Gahhhh....hope you were at least sitting wif some good-looking, interesting characters.......

I think she's been on the news, although not recently. I remember a story about a woman in (Snohomish county?) who rescued a horse that she felt was show quality.

Volleyball here as well. My friends daughter plays VB at almost a professional level. He was telling me about the incredible subtleties that make excellent players - varying the delivery position by millimeters, looking one direction while sending the ball elsewhere, that sort of thing. I want to see if I can spot any of these tricks.

Don' forget . . . glittery eye-shadow to distract or throw light into the competition's eyes!!

Oh . . . and the knee . . . I think I'm doing pretty good. Got major kudos from the doc and PT at my appts on Thursday. Sometimes it feels great and then a couple of hours later much much worse . . . comes and goes . . . have to keep an glittery eye on the swelling.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be. 
    • trents
      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
    • trents
      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
