OMG. . . ..liver crimes. . . ....commited many in me youth.. . .now it's the odd transgression, but I think I now consider myself an ex-con. . .....

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

*snort* :lol: that cracked me up

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.

:o how do people LIVE in that??????????? Poor Arnie and his wee feet, and his WEE! :unsure:

how DO dogs pee in that weather? Does the wee freeze in mid-air????????

Joooolie! Poor Arnie. . . . . yes, boots may be a good idea. My MIL has just finished making something like 60 pairs of dog booties for the Yukon Quest - - comin' up in early Feb, all!!

oh, that is exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

OMG :lol: I forwarded that on to my boss and other males :lol:

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!! :o

we just had the wildest storm I've practically ever seen.......pretty scary.....I was in the store, Weez was in the car, and the sky turned so black.....cracks of thunder and tornado warnings here today (never happens). Soon, the HUGEST, LOUDEST torrent of HAIL came down.......unbelievable. Everyone came to the windows of the stores and stared in awe.......I waited a few minutes for it to pass but - it did not. I could see my little weez terrified and looking for me as she sat in MY seat in the front as hail poured into the two open windows......I ran out and was soaked (raincoat was in teh car, natch).......PILES of hail everywhere. The storm headed to the mountains where it is snowing briskly at 1,000 feet elevation and now........it is CRYSTAL CLEAR and sunny above my house and practically BLACK in the east......going outside with camera now, I think.........

I am hearing sooo many sirens now...... :( the streets were a mess.....

Gahhhhhh .. . . the dreaded Penis Crush. .. . . ...thank you for this ripe comedic material, POeter. You just knew you could throw something like that into our mix, and we'd make hay. . . . . :lol:

No, but their penii can - - hence the infamous PENIS SLING which many of the best sled dogs of the Quest are regularly sporting. . . . . remember?? :lol:

Soooz! Exciting, sublime, frightening storm! Put up a pic!

Well...back from over a month away from my forums. I've been lurking, but since things blew up here, I needed some time.

It seems we've all been busy around here. I hope you are all well, and am diving in to try and get caught up.

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

:lol: I'm so used to reading odd spellings that my mind just automatically transposed it to read 'sympathy'..............ummmmm, that is what you meant, right Patti?

Good catch, Julie!

I believe we can blame Nik and Julie for mentioning wrapping :rolleyes:

I need a little 'symphany' meself. I fell down the stairs this morning :( I took one step in my stocking feet and they went flying out from under me. I landed on me bum and went bouncing down the stairs. (I was rather slippery, wearing only me tights)

........I'm hearing snickers out there! <_< .........shame on you! :P

When I told my coworker, she said..."Oh, like in the cartoons!" :rolleyes:

So anyway, I didn't feel too bad, except a slight headache all day, because the initial fall rattled me brain. Well now I'm starting to ache in various places, and have discovered that I must have also hit my shoulder, as there is a bruise starting to form. The one on me tush is now coming into it's glory.........have decided it looks like the face of a bunny, with the nose being the deepest purple over the rest........and no....there will be no picture! :lol:

Wouldn't you know.....when I got home......that's where hubby tried to give me a little love pat :o (he wasn't yet aware of my morning adventure) Luckily, I have good reflexes! He survived unscathed. :P

BTW.......it is my job to do summaries for absentee psillies, but I think you've gone past the statute of limitations :P

So no one really knows about poor Weezee's trauma today, unless they watched the news, where it was the MAY-JUH featured story. :lol:

DUDE, you live in TORONTO!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me tell you this.......I have lived here for 38 of my 47 years and, to my knowledge, it "snowed" TWICE here before 1997 (when I moved to Monterey) - once when I was in about third grade, and we were OUT OF OUR MINDS on the playground that day, with our 1/8 inch of white dusting - and once after college...........

To see a storm of this magnitude just makes me WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

that's all I can say, it makes me WILD WITH GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm thyself, Soozie!.......and....2 inches?......seriously?..........I think not (just looked at the pic) :rolleyes:

If that were snow, it would be called a 'light dusting'

Since this is such a momentous occassion, you must gather some hail and put it in your freezer.....it's tradition.

How does Weezie like it?

I don't know.......be creative.

The best scenario would be if it sticks together, you can shape it into snowballs. Great to hit people with in the heat of summer. :P If you try this, I'll swear I never told you :lol:

Susie, my goodness, what unusual weather you have had today. Here it just went from being well above freezing last night to being very cold. Currently -15 C (19 F). No sign of warming above freezing in the next 10 days. Brrr.

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC. My wife also went to a french bakery and bought a gluten-free flourless chocolate cake dedicated gluten-free it was out of this world.

      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? 
    • SamAlvi
      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 more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
