Hi Bev :wub:

Angus and Sadie sitting in a tree, K - I - S - S - I - N - G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of your Dad and Sis, Em

Laura, I looked for E but I didn't spot him :lol:

Lucky him to be in the middle of it all!! Although I don't know, I kind of liked watching it in the comfort and warmth of me own home, no crowds, no frigid cold.

I so agree about the pressure and expectations he will be under. It's a stressful job as it is, look at how much Clinton and Bush aged, it was like an accelerated aging process for both of them.

There is no other country on this earth I'd rather be than right here! I'm blessed to have been born here. We are among the very richest people of the earth, and often take our freedoms, health and safety for granted. We should all be proud.

swear to God, at this point, if I were he, I would go and curl up in a corner from the PRESSURE and the expectations.... :unsure::lol:

Which is why, perhaps, you should NOT run for President of the United States. :lol: I'm thankful that somebody wants to do it . . . have I mentioned lately how I dislike being in charge??

I've got two BIL's that went. Here's the report as given by my FIL:

BIL and his girlfriend are downtown on the DC Mall this morning preparing to participate in the Inauguration of Barack Obama. They came in by bus last night/this morning and got into the DC area about 5:00am. They found a way to bypass the worst Metro Station congestion and got downtown by about 8:00am. Now they are walking from Chinatown (9th and G St.) to 24th St. by the Lincoln Memorial and around to the south side of the Mall to watch the swearing-in ceremony. They report that it is all good. They are well fed. All of the stores and restaurants along the periphery of the Mall are open and serving and there are 7,000 port-potties along the Mall.

Bev - hows come you got Sadie again . . . Just a visit, or did sumptin' happen??

My news . . . I gobba code . . . I'm aw stuffy . . . I'll try not to breave on you.

Phunnee that you mentioned this quote of Soooozie's, Janet.....as soon as I read it, I immediately thought of you were the news to hit you that, in fact, you had become our Monarch for 100 pages. Curling up, shaking and rocking......"it's too much....what they expect of me...it's tooooo much". .. . . ....

What has struck me most was them mentioning the PEACEFUL transfer of power. Made me realize how much we take this for granted- so many other countries do not have this!!!!!!! For this, I am grateful.

Thanks, you guys. :wub::wub:

Well, my dad had the same laproscopic surgery this aft that my sister had two days ago.......but they found a big stone in his bladder, which they proceeded to annihilate with a laser. Went further up, and saw a BUNCH of stones high up in one kidney. This may require major surgery, so I don't know if they will do this on a frail, 84-year old man. :(

We'll know more tomorrow.

Even post-op, lying there morphined up, he still had me larfin' . .. . .. . .. . :lol:

Lobster pie?!?!?! Is it like a pot pie with lobster, summat like that?? Sounds good, I'll be there....can't stink anymore than salmon :lol:

Meant to say earlier I love how Sooze says her "sils" :lol::lol:

So Sils, um, very stressed over ebay at the moment.....there is a technical problem with the shipping calculator, my items are showing up with $30 shipping on each thing so it's driving the bidders away. I contacted eBay and they won't do anything about it. This is going to totally affect the outcome of my auctions :(:(:(

I did, but I am affraid they aren't even clicking on the item to look inside at the description when they see what the shipping is.

I would take the shipping completely off but can't now as each item has one bid already, and you can't revise once you have a bid.

Em, saying prayers for your dad. Somehow it always seems harder when it's your parents! Good that he's keeping his sense of humor. Hope all turns out well.

Lobshter! One of the things I miss about upstate NY is that we used to go to Maine once in a while in the summer. There is nothing like fresh l.o.b.s.h.t.e.r.!!!! I once went out on a boat with a lobsterman and got a "tour" of how they catch them and lots of info. about them. Pretty kool. (Were they screaming while hanging onto the little fuffy legs??) :lol:

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 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?

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...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      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:...

      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.

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.

      Am I nuts?

      By GlorietaKaro · Posted

      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—
