Nikerler!! So great to hear that Pson of Psilly is starving and chatting non-stop!! All great signs. . . . . ... :):)

Um........do you think that we can lobby for a National Anal Glands Expression Day? :lol:

Mygawd, Sooozie!! You haven't heard of Canada's "Expression of Love: Anal Gland Care Day"?? Verrrrrry big up here. .... . .....devoted dog owners gather on Parliament Hill with their impacted pooches every March 1st, and on queue, have a group Canadian Expression (quite unlike other Canuck expressions, such as "toque" and "washroom")...... . ..

:lol::rolleyes:

Really, you should get a movement like this started down there, Soooozie.

I think your new president might be open to looking at this. . . . . . . .

Or National Dangling Member Appreciation Day!!!!!

now coming up with ideas for even more fun days......A task I am up to par on!!!

Glad to hear Al is doing well.

The computer war has been won!!! I sent my boss after her this morning :) My boss told me she doesnt think the woman is the sharpest knife in the drawer ;) Love it!

I had my annual employee health visit this morning- got my annual TB test....which thankfully is barely visible as we speak (last year it rashed up and was raised....I was scared) I also got a pertusis vaccine....turns out Whooping Cough is becoming an issue again and the hospital was offering the free Tetanus vaccine to all employees and I figured what the heck might as well....2 of my coworkers kids have had whopping cough in the last few months....so got the shot and boy is my arm sore!!!!!

I shall claim full credit for getting the samatar avatar pheature phixed wif me PM to Scott (I did hear back from him wif a "I fixed it try it again" message about the same time you all phigured out it was back to normal. I initially thought that I wouldn't PM Scott . . . thought he might be innundated wif "What's wrong wif me av?" messages and then it donned/dawned (anybody else remember that conversation?? tom??) on me . . . Does anyone change their avs besides us??? Certainly not wif the same phrequency!!!

man heads are gonna roll......... :huh:

<chuckle-chuckle>

Just back from the hospital - all went well with Al's leg op

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :) :)

OH, and NARY a scrap of gluten-freeness available on the day care unit......they kept trying to force a cheese sandwich on him :rolleyes:

:angry: .. ...somehow expected this to be better 'cross the pond, like so many other things, even if only incrementally so.

I think I forgot to mention months ago that I saw an article that the official UK Health Ministry(?) position on IBS was being changed to "hey let's check for celiac". That feels lightyears ahead of the US.

Or National Dangling Member Appreciation Day!!!!!

:o

Isn't that supposed to be every day?

Or is that the Not-So-Dangling? :confusednowface:

The computer war has been won!!!

Woohooooo .. . . Henceforth Nov 19th is National Computing Armistice Day!!!

Hope you're tucked in for the long haul, baby! Tis only November. February's always the worst, for me. I'm just so DONE by then. I wish I had a job where I could migrate.

Hehehehe Yes :lol: . ...in my defense, it WAS quite the coincidence that I'd heard of "donned" only from a phellow Hoosier.

<russian accent> there is no magnitude of coincidences

League Of Non-Dangled Ostensible Needs?

that can't be how London got its name, now could it? :wacko: :wackp:

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
