Hey all! Rain, and more rain here. Just cold enuff to freeze on the trees and shrubs...looks really pretty. Not cold enough to freeze the roads, so that's kool. Has iced up me deck.....wooden but not self-erected :lol: . I am not in the least tempted to try going down the ice-covered steps.....oh, no,no,no. Still having troubles from my slinky adventure <_<

Glad to hear from Kween Manda! I'm excited for you! After a year in our house there are still some things unpacked....still some things unfound (probably in the black holes with all of those escapee socks and squished boobies :rolleyes: ). 'Tis fun to arrange and decorate a new home.

"Kool Beans in the Belfry"? Just playing around with our trite sayings. Can come up with some pretty odd mental images. I love words, language, playing around wif it all. Maybe that's weird....but I am comfortable with my weirdness.

Hope yer all havin' a super day. Later

HOLY Tiger Pigs!!! What in hell's me post count??? :o

PHLUID events have been occuring and they are GUT CHURNING!!!!!!!

Poor wee Alzey.... he's had a Whitlow cuticle infection on his finger for about a week, they usually clear by themselves (he bites his nails, I think that's why he gets 'em?)

WELL, this one ain't clearing...I phoned me gp but the dragon receptionist was adamant that the quack doc couldn't see him 'til MONDAY!!!! :angry: ....poor lad's in alot of pain.... (UK's NHS is going to pot BTW! :rolleyes: )

....ANYHOO, can't leave him in pain so I took him to a 'minor injuries unit' (a bit like a 'minor ER')

The nurse looked, winced, and said 'let me just take a look'........OMG!!!!!..as she touched it, IT EXPLODED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAHHHHhhhh!!!!!!! Pus and blood everywhere!!!!!!!! :vomitface:

She's had to put a dressing on it - he's going to lose his nail :( .....they want to test him for diabetes as he the slightest scratch gets infected :blink::rolleyes: (although I don't think it's that ...he just has a poor immune system)

Ok, hope you weren't eating and reading :lol: ...but HAD to share ;)

OH, boiler news...... they'll ring me when they know something :blink::lol: ('cos I ain't on their computer!)

Okey dokey ......this could be a looooong winter.... but I think we're acclimatising!!!!!!

Nik! Poor wee Alzy!! Well, he ain't so wee, now, is he?). . . . . :rolleyes:

Gawd, methinks you'd have a pretty good idea if he were diabetic - - so many screaming, debilitating symptoms (rapid weight loss, excessive thirst and urination, blurry vision, wicked head pain).....this can't be it! An easily infected kid, wif a wonky immune system . . .. . . ... . .hope there's no more blood and/or pus!!

Ummmm, Ptaughmmnnn........we need to have a talk :ph34r: I already know we were both in Tucson about the same time. I also lived in another Chicago suburb, Elmhurst, in about..........let me think..........I was in 4th and 5th grade, and I guess 6th :unsure: ...............age 8-10, maybe 11...........carry the one................1967, '68, '69 thereaboutish. Where else you been?........Florida?........Utah?...........Indiana? Had no idea you been tryin' to find me all yer life! :lol:

Venice FL & Sandy UT!!!!!!!!! :o :phokoinkidinkphace:

Elmhurst Rd (aka 83) is a main thoroughfare thru Mt Prospect!! Taking it straight south 2 or 3 towns puts me in yer old town :)

Have I not mentioned I'm being transferred to Indy? :lol:

Nope, I used to live in Lake County but have migrated closer to "the city" to be closer to school... I guess better wording in my original post would have been "suburban Illinois" (the HUGE area that is referred to as "Chicagoland" but is actually not conveniently located to Chicago) ;)

Psilly Illinoisians!

Ahh yes Lake County's nice. As a kid we'd go applepicking in Wauconda, and fishing at Fox, Pistakee, Chain o' Lakes et al. :happyreminisceface:

I was .... but it takes more than that to gross me out. :) I hope his nail grows back quickly.

I was so easily bruised before I got better that I lost a toenail last summer due to bruising .... and the worst part is, I don't even know how I got the bruise! I didn't even know it was there till I removed my toenail polish and saw it!

Have I not mentioned I'm being transferred to Indy? :lol:

Uh, I missed this ... are you serious? (I ask on the silly thread, ROFL!)

If lawyer does not work the first time you may have to mention (ahem)...lawyer There has to be a way to get them moving! It's inhumane to leave people without heat in midwinter.

:lol::lol:

I haven't been blue-googled this ad yet - - are TOMS an American restaurant chain? Or is it really a dating site, where only those named Tom can be members?

Perhaps it is just a statement.....All Toms, generally, are vegan-friendly. Running through all of the Toms I've ever known... . . . . .. .Y'know, it's probably true!! :huh::lol:

I was getting toe nail fungus, and fungus related things....which brings me to little Al (ditto Em, I guess he isn't so little anymore is he? But it's just habit to call him little Al)

Poor Alzey!!!! I hope it heals quickly :)

Exciting times Amanda!!!! :D

Tom is stalking Lisa :lol::lol::lol:

Another observation from The Tudors, one of the characters said, "she's such a f#@&ing b!%ch"...um, I don't think they talked like that in 1532, did they?!?!? :lol:

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
