How many GI docs does it take to change a light bulb?

Well, one to say it's not the bulb, it's the lamp that's the problem.

Another to try and convince you that the light is still on, you're

just not "seeing it".

And a third to say, "I know it's burned out, but I don't know what

to do to help you get it back on!"

So, in a sense, we're all left in the DARK!!!

OMG- Emily, your discourse skills are unparalled. You gotta Open Original Shared Link

Early in the writing, Gee defines Discourse as a combination of acts: saying, writing, doing, being, valuing, etc. He views Discourse as a social construct not dissimilar from Culture. In fact, in order to master a Discourse, one must go through an intensive process of enculturation or apprenticeship where there is a focus on social practices and supported interaction with people who have already mastered a Discourse.

Is that us or what? When youse a New Psilly all you think is :wacko::blink::huh:

Paddeigh's posting!

PATTI!!!!!!!!! did they get the sillies outta yer butt??????????????????????? :lol: (good one, Judy)

How ya pheelin????????

And there's a climbing spot up there called "Cirque of the Unclimbables" - - - drives me absolutely mad in its exoticism and scary-sounding remoteness :lol::ph34r:

Never mind.........just the useless thoughts of a convoluted Dingo Brain...... :lol:

<I am so weird>

OMG - now why didn't WE think of this?????????????? have GOT to come up wif some clever gimmick-y thing that people will pay such big bucks for...........

<could I put them Lilliputs on some of me dog's poop cairns in the grass?> :ph34r:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Tom - maybe the doc can find yer silly up Patti's bum.......... hope so.

lost my train of thought, spit out my drink and lmao :lol:

YEAH,,,, PATTI IS BACK IN THE HOUSE

just glad it's over and you home safe and sound and hope resting.........and not cleaning ;)

Yay Patti- hope your bum is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite funny dumb insult has got to be.... gee her happy meal came missing the toy

:lol:

then again my favorite loose girl comment is "She is like the town bicycle everyone gets a ride."

..one oar in the water...two bricks shy of a load...you knock and no one is home....

But, my favorite from my from my husband..."it's pouring like a cow pissing on a flat rock in a rain storm" and "sweatin' like a whore in church" and "nervous like a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs."

Goosey- Your hubby is a dirty boy!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Em--Did Jack have a nice time at camp? Come back wif any burning questions we can help with? :P

I'll tell you what he said to me today as we were coming back from the gym. From the back seat, I suddenly hear him say:

"Mom... . .. . . ... .... . ....you are two thousand, two hundred and eight weeks old".

<_<:rolleyes:

Jack had a terrific time at his camp. He and seven other ten year-old boys in his cabin......can you imagine what that bedtime was like? He had the most incredible bed-dirt-sand-lakewater hair when we picked him up - - like this:

. . . .. . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . .. .. . .. .. .@@@

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B)

And I am sure he grew a couple of inches in that week!

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol:

He told me the consensus there was a half-sized head. But I dunno.... .. . . . these are kids, reasoning that a miniscule head would be less noticeable than a huge one, but I think something the size of a grapefruit would be gettin' a lot of stares.......... :lol::rolleyes:

Sounds like he had a great week--I'm so glad :D

M-m-mm....the head question.....a larger one would make fer a stiff neck, I'd reckon, but a smaller one.....I donno....the word pinhead comes to mind :lol: Have to ponder this one :lol:

I hope by "cool" you mean "neato" and not . . ."Egads, there's no insulation, there's no furnace, the door's 12 feet wide (and always open with random animals coming in and out). It's like living in a . . . barn!!"

random animals coming in and out :lol: that could be phun! <as long as the cairns aren't too big>

So Patti heard from Jess - that's good. I imagine she'll have some excellent ramblings coming up.....

Gah! You could arrange it to appear as though the Lilliputians are, in fact, assembling the turds into cairns..... . . making structures of worship, landmarks or sepulchral monuments. . .. .... .. :lol::lol:

Oh, brilliant!!!!!! Alas, these cairns are going to be quite a bit more odiferous and possibly less appealing than that clever photographer's forays into broccoli and cauliflower......have to find Lilliputians who are willing to put up with stinky phecal conditions and climbing onto cairns of Dingo scat.........where will I get those? Shall I put an ad on Craig's List? :unsure::lol:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

<_< the "cold snap" is over already. Back to 100 this weekend.......... BAH!!!!!!!!! :angry: But it's been soooooooo nice these last three days........

*snort* :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

Open Original Shared Link It is a carry-forward of the extended ASCII character set used by PC-DOS and MS-DOS. What value you type depends on what vowel you want to combine with the circumflex.

Directly underneath each character is an italicized number. To enter the character, press and hold <alt> while typing the 3-digit number on the key pad. If the character number is less than 100, you must type leading zeros so that a three-digit number is entered, but most of these characters can simply be typed.

Yes, there have been a number of potential Psillies who have wandered in, posted regularly, and then boom! Gone......Daughter of the Light, Erica, Colleen and the phunny crew from Makeupville........ .

I think the bigger question, however, is this: Why do we stay, and stay, and stay???! :lol::rolleyes:

Have a super time! Get yer PICC, then head out to Times Square.....a truly unbelievable place, isn't it? :)

At least with a pin head, you would be able to still buy hats, although they'd all be baby bonnets, I suppose. Not too much is gonna fit on something that's the size of a small beach ball. And that would certainly be the end of turtlenecks........ :rolleyes:

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
