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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
