Hi, Joooody! :)

REALLY makes me wish I were Italian, or something interesting with strong cultural traditions but NO, we're just super-boring white people.......I don't even think I can remember a tradition, except opening one gift on Christmas eve :huh:

Soooze, I could have written this..... . . I am so jealous of all the wonderful passed-down cultural traditions of others, and the only real tradition I remember is also the one-gift-on-Christmas-Eve trick....... <_<

We opened all the family presents. The youngest would pass out the presents from under the tree, and the oldest would open first. We'd all take turns, each person opening one gift, and then on to the next oldest.

We are seven kids, and two parents, so this took a really long time. Hence the need for all that food.

I have an update on the coyote story. Can't remember if I told you the whole story - a coyote grabbed the neighbors cat in broad daylight. A woman working at my house yelled and kinda chased the coyote, who dropped the cat. The cat ran behind the woman and the coyote turned around and tried to get past her. She kept waving her arms and yelling and finally the coyote gave up.

I just found out that the cat showed up at his house 5 days later, in pretty bad shape. He was taken to the vet and stitched back up and appears to be making a full recovery (except for a pronounced aversion to the outdoors).

Good morning Sillies!

It's COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Currently -1 degrees (degree?). Arnie is having a tough time outside, he just stops in his tracks and lifts his paws up and whinces. I think the snow is so cold it is burning/stinging his paws. So no evening poo, no morning poop thus far, poor little guy is holding it.

Went to get some of those doggie boots so hopefully that will help.

We opened all the family presents. The youngest would pass out the presents from under the tree, and the oldest would open first. We'd all take turns, each person opening one gift, and then on to the next oldest.

We are seven kids, and two parents, so this took a really long time. Hence the need for all that food.

I love hearing about your traditions Jess, but wait you are one of 7 kids?!?! I bet things were mighty exciting growing up :lol:

It's just me and my brother and things were quite boring, I wanted more siblings so badly (might explain the many imaginary friends :lol: )

they are really pressuring me now. Let me go grab a couple more chocolate-covered caramels.

:lol: This cracked me up!!! You had to ponder it all whilst savoring a few chocolate covered caramels

. . . and why do I keep getting Wheat Crackers?? Do they know I run a mixed kitchen??

Mixed kitchen :lol:

John is home sick today. He has been ill over a week now, horrible stomach pains and such. It has been nasty....at first I thought it was gas pain but now I am not so sure.

Liver Crimes, Builder Invasion, and the Boiler Man :lol:

Nik! Only a few days to recover and you are going back for more :lol: And my gawd, I wish this boiler man would have figgered you needed a new boiler in the first place, could you have had heat weeks ago?

You have reminded me I have much wrapping to get to (my least favorite part and so I am procrastinating) :rolleyes:

Me enzymes just took a symphany jump! :lol:

Oh excellent Patti, your liver enzymes are so musically talented. What is their specialty? Bach? Bethoven?

Um....that is, until the Christmas season, when I am regularly thrown into the company of outlaws....brief crime spree coming. . . . . . ....

:lol: The MIL made you do it!!!

Even though I am known as a non-drinker, liver crimes were committed in my youth (twas a very brief walk on the dark side for me) And omgosh I just found a picture that is the only evidence of these wild times and natch, I put it up on The Book :lol:

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      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.

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.
