Well, thank gawd that, according to Jack anyway, those six trillion bacteria are on our feet, not on our arms - -otherwise, you'd be in a heap of PICC trouble, Bevel!

That is so crappy.....more heinous skin stuff for our lymie...... .. . :angry:

Soozie! This gardener's twenty-minute disappearance into his van . . ..... . .... . ..what in hell? How fascinating..... . . was the vehicle....um....moving at all? Like, back and forth, or circularly? Were there any.....noises coming from within? Did he look the same when he reappeared? Where was Stepford during this interlude?

Hmmmm. .. . . . . ..... . . ...must ponder this.. . . .. . ..

Hmmmm. .. . . . . ..... . . ...must ponder this.. . . .. . ..

:lol: :lol:

Okay please note, Em, that 'twas NOT a van. It was a trailer, with a gate that comes down so the machinery can be wheeled out. Curiously, I had just fully studied the inside of it earlier, as was coveting his blower......stood transfixed, in fact, as I stared at it and wondered if it had just too much power for the average citizen (me) to use.

So.....I did see the inside of this trailer......nothing but tools and equipment. Not even a bench or seat. I really expected a huge waft of marijuana smoke to come out when he was done (he works with his 13-y-old son so clearly had to hide his surreptitious activities). I walked out to smell it. Alas....none.

When we had our conversation, it was quite curious......he was sullen and unfriendly......VERY uncharacteristic. I asked if I could write him a cheQUE (for $10), as had done many times in the past. he was silent for many seconds and said no, he wants cash. :unsure:

See, there really WAS a dead body in there cartel going on.......I KNEW IT! :lol:

Ah-hah! I have figured out the mystery!

The man has undiagnosed Celiac, he has a bucket in the trailer for his 'episodes', and he was suffering from brain fog and mood swings, hence his surly out-of-character reply!

Or perhaps he's just a smoker and he's tired of getting paid ten bucks a pop. What on EARTH does this guy do for ten bucks a pop?

(Note: I was only able to come up with the above scenario thanks to my boyfriend, who mows grass and keeps a bucket in his trailer for said purposes. He gets half the credit. Their crew really only uses it to pee out of sight though.)

<_< You haven't seen the size of my YARD. He will do my whole front yard for $10. Yup, that's right. I usually do it myself........and I am the ONLY person in all of Stepford who does these two things: hand-cuts the edges of the grass (yup, down on me hands and knees, pholks) and: sweeps it all up WITH A BROOM. People really do stare at me. :blink:

and BTW - nearly EVERYone has a gardener here, except me. <_< But you should see how very pedestrian the yards are. and grass.........why..........why......WHY do people grow grass in a desert......makes me insane......ever heard of DROUGHT-TOLERANT GROUND COVER??????????????

Gads! Balloon shaped sillies with nekkid punctures and ten dollar yards.

I got three pairs of sandally type shoes. I have whiny feet that don't cotton to the average shoe, so I usually end up going to Nordstroms ($$) but at least they fit. And then I got some dressy ones at payless for 8 bucks. go figure.

Nope . . . no mojo yet . . . just gladly reading along.

HOWEVER!!!!! I must share this with me sillies.

I started a new book for book club called The Lace Reader. Listen to all of these coincidences within the first six pages . . . She's originally from North Shores (Bev). Her mom lives on Yellow Dog (Susie) Island. She now resides in California (Susie & Tom). She was just released from the hospital (Amanda) due to a hysterectomy (Jess). She admits that she lies all the time (Emily . . . well, not that "admitting" part). Lord knows what will happen next!!

      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.
