EXCELLENT Uncle Ray :lol:

Notice it was a condom- not a crutch rubber :lol: :lol: :P

BAH HAHAHAHA Bevel!!!!!!!

So many Sillies not well :(

(((((HUGS))))) to Judy :wub:

..and Nikki a trifecta going on over there?!? Cold. Man Flu. Female monthly. Heinous. I agree, wrap yourself up in that cozy blanket and do all that you can to stay warm :wub:

Forgot to say Janet, I am so glad you asked about Amanda's John, meant to do the same myself. So Amanda! How is John doing?? How are you doing? What's the latest with the house buying/houseselling/moving process??

I would also like to say I read everything and take it all in, but often don't get it all commented on and sometimes (ok a lot of the time) details get lost in the shuffle but I am always thinking about all of you :wub:

Ok, I am in trouble. I have discovered Archer Farms Caramel Corn Clusters. Sold at Target. On sale this week. So good. Very evil.

(I am pretty sure they are gluten-free, no gluten ingredients and wheat is not listed in the allergy info, but not sure of cc issues)

This is SOOOOO true, Joooolie!! I so agree wif you on all of this. Sometimes I'll be out running about, or teaching, or driving, and I'll suddenly think, "Gawd! How is Amanda's John and her dad doing?? And Bev - - I haven't asked about her in too long! Haven't heard from Ptaoughmghmn in a few days.....must ask about him....."

I'm always thinking about all of you Psillies, too! :wub:

Yep- me too. FROZEN for 4 years and now I'm warm again- tis wonderous. But I still love me blankies!

Nikki- Not man phlugh.....and menses. It must have something to do with the fact that you can see Jupiter and Venus right next to the moon. It must be making thinngs wackl :(

I want to know, too!. I've tried many different things and I just don't get it! :(

Although once I did place periods between my symbols and then colored them white, but I don't think that's the actual way to do it :P

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
