Were you AT the convention?? I did think about you while watching the past few nights. It was quite impressive seeing the stadium full to capacity last night--so much energy :D

No :lol: ...but just about 15 or 20 minutes south from there.

I talked to a family member who had tickets and they ended up turning around and going home. When they arrived, several hours early too, thousands and thousands were still lined up outside waiting to get in. The security detail was quite involved, so they knew they would be standing in line for hours.

So sillies with the rainy day I have here I am thinking about picking up lunch on my way home and watching sex and the city for the rest of the afternoon.....

Sounds like a good plan :)

Well, ya know what they say... . . .the couple that pharts together...... .. ...

...probably isn't invited out to dinner as a couple very often........ <_<:lol:

:lol::lol:

Glad you're feeling better today, Amanda. It's not raining here, just kinda cloudy....sun is trying to peak out but not having too much luck. B)

I was doubled over last night with stomach pain/cramping. They found a hiatal hernia during my endo., and according to the sheet she gave me I think it had to be the onions I ate in my dinner. Gawd....another reason to have to limit more foods :angry:

At least this explains the hiccups and unladylike belching :lol:

GOD......One up Amanda........One down............Patti. :o oye vie.

Patti, I used to get like that with onions but can eat them now so maybe you will be able to also

so sorry for the pain. Couldn't have been excitment could it???? ;)

Is it gone now????

Did you wave at me?!?!?

Thinking about Bev :wub:

I sure did wave.......didn't you see me????

yep thinking of our Bevie.

Just hope it goes well for her this time.

Yeah--lots of trapped gas is what it felt like....but really painful from right under my ribs on down :angry: Ah well, what cha gonna do??

I did think about you while watching the past few nights. It was quite impressive seeing the stadium full to capacity last night--so much energy :D

Patti.....could it be your gallbladder? Did she test for that......forget :blink:

Yes, it sure was packed.......my clostophobia couldn't have handled that for sure :ph34r:

Last night John and I came home and Jen's kitchen window is on the porch stoop, so when its open I always yell in to her. So she was coming to the window and I bent down and let out this loud-very loud fart.....and John looks at me and starts laughing and pretty soon he lets one go too......We are a mess!

gives new meaning to '2 peas in a pod' :lol:

So sillies with the rainy day I have here I am thinking about picking up lunch on my way home and watching sex and the city for the rest of the afternoon.....Its cold out too. I dont even think it is 70 out....I hear it will get warmer by the weekend....last weekend of summer!!!!

sounds like a winner to me.

Nope--gallbladder is A-ok!! Ultrasound and blood work were fine for that. She saw the hiatal hernia during the endoscopy and this, she said, would explain my reflux/upper abdominal symptoms.

Gotta love when you actually get an answer for something! The other bloodwork and biopsys are still out, so we're waiting on those. Keeping me phingers crossed that somephin turns up that might explain all these phood intolerances.

At least, this doctor is willing to look...... :D

Hey Amanda---yer rain is here!! :lol:

Nice googlin' Lisa--I had no idea he had such a name :o I musta watched The Wizard of Oz at least a dozen times or more through the years. :rolleyes:

The name is not mentioned in the film's dialog, nor is it in the original book. It is revealed in the fourth book in the series, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz.

Yep, there's certainly a particular whiff in the air when the heaviness of an impending rain approaches.... . .. . .

Let's be thankful that we're just smelling the coming rain, not yet feeling it in our knees, hands, hips...... . . . . . . . .. <_<:rolleyes:

Tonight a bunch of us are going to the Haunted Walk of Ottawa....a ninety-minute stroll around the old downtown and Parliament, with a guide who tells us all about the various ghosts and spirits that haunt the buildings and neighboUrhoods..... . .. . .

It includes an apparently not-for-the-faint-of-heart tour through one of the most haunted structures in Canada:

Well today was an adventure- last time the whole thing from start to finish took forty five minutes. This took four hours and was not fun. They tried to guide it in with ultrasound but it got stuck, had to wait an hour for interventional radiology. They had to guide it in with real-time x-ray and could only get is so far because I was having vein spasms. They finally got it in but it hurt like hell (after three novocaine shots) and I have a HUGE bruise.

Glad it is O-V-E-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Bev, I'm so sorry, it just sounds heinous.

Hey Amanda---yer rain is here!! :lol:

It has been pouring hard all afternoon--I napped on the couch with my kitty, Kitty put his heads in my hands and we slept all afternoon.

Then Jen called me and asked if I wanted to run to Starbucks with her and Becky. So we did that.

I have to go to Wegmans but the traffic is nasty right now so we will go later.

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk. 
    • par18
      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools. 
    • trents
      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
