And while yer at it, please ask Mr. Cho, he may know something.......why don't you march over there during his morning constitutionals tai chi, with the crutch tip in hand, and DEMAND he tell you what is going on.

Sooozie! Yer whole post!! :lol::lol::lol:

It is very phunny that you bring up the Chows. Late this afternoon, whilst walking dogs, I saw Mrs. Chow in her front yard, walking in and out of her garage. She looks one hundred, and has been moving very slowly ever since I first met her, about sixteen years ago. However, she has never had a limp.

But she did today.

A slight favoUring of her left leg.

She waved hello, and said a garbled greeting in Mandarin/English.

"HEY!" I yelled as I approached. "Are you using crutches for that limp???"

She understands very little English. So she stared and smiled.

This is significant. I just KNOW IT.

:huh::lol:

She is your dog's latest victim!!!.....I don't think that was a greeting.....she was cussing you out!

I would be wary of that 'innocent' looking smile........methinks she is planning her revenge.I wouldn't leave the dog food out where she can see it if I were you :unsure:

Oh, boy. Burundians. . . . . . ..

And now the Chinese are involved. .. . . . . ....

OMG. . . . lookit this:

Open Original Shared Link

They MET three weeks ago. . . . . . .right when Sam Hill Manhead was making himself known in Psillyville......

China and Burundi have deep traditional friendship, and should enhance cooperation in investment, infrastructure, telecommunications and agriculture, said Chinese President Open Original Shared Link Tuesday when meeting with Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza, who is in China for the Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation held on Nov. 4-5.

In recent years, the two countries boosted their exchanges and cooperation in fields of politics, judicature, economy, trade, culture and international affairs, said Hu, suggesting the two sides continue exchanges in all fields and at all levels.

This is big. :huh::o

And the Chows could be front and centRE.

They want Sam Hill.. . . .. . . Mrs. Chow came sniffing around my ho' tub, looking for him. I have the evidence - - the rubber crutch-end that she must be missing.

Now, I must somehow get over there and into their house.....look for the crutches that I KNOW are there.....

Of course, one will be missing an end.

I will quickly attempt to screw the rubber end I have onto her crutch.

We all know this:

It will phit Perfectly.

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y
    • Scott Adams
      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
