Ummmm.........Did she have company whilst you were away? :ph34r:

Between fits of laughter, she assured us that she did not. Ya gotta picture her - - a very proper, English, wizened seventy-eight year old lady .... . . ......

It actually was very funny, looking at her with raised eyebrows as she stood by our bed showing us the broken frame and wheel.... . .

Agh, better than the last two visits - - roof dent (! :huh: ) and side mirror missing on my car, and broken washing machine door.

What in hell IS it with her? Is she a Transformer er somefin?

:lol:

Uh, oh, Nikkers... . . ....feelin'.. . . .....swiney? :unsure:

Two of DD's closest friends came down with the swine flu last month. They were diagnosed the week after all three of them spent the night together at a sleepover. They were a little feverish, achy and very tired for a couple of days. That was it.

Sophie did not develop any symptoms.

I dunno. I seem very underwhelmed by this pandemic, it would seem.

We vacationed at Lake Michigan. Here is the convict story . . . Open Original Shared Link

They kept having sightings within a mile of where we were staying . . . as late as yesterday even. The place we were staying even had pictures up and were putting out warnings to keep all doors and windows locked and to stay in groups . . . makes for quite a relaxing atmosphere.

Nik has come down wif the school's out blues flu . . . hope yer feelin' better soon.

We had an escaped con on the loose for a couple of months; he was first intercepted about five miles from us, but then escaped on a motorcycle and subsequently into the hills and bush on foot and the cops lost him. From then on it was kind of like a movie; he kept swapping vehicles, dumping one and stealing another; breaking into houses for food and guns (and drugstores for drugs); there were sightings galore but oh, the ineptitude in catching up with him. Eventually he more or less gave himselph up because he was tired, I reckon :lol:

Good to hear--I kinda got that feeling but when it first broke, it was all over the news here I guess because we're so close to Mexico. The coverage has fizzled, though.....

Good Morning, Psills!

Yes, 'tis mighty quiet since my return..... . . . . .wish I'd been around last night wif ya, Shroomie. Still a little jetlagged, a bit off - - and me being the way I am to start with, one can imagine how .....interesting....I am presently. <_<:rolleyes:

I am meeting a good friend for lunch this aft. She emailed me a brief message yesterday, saying that she is done with facebook, that the sh!t had really hit the fan with her profile (she did not go into detail - - I'm assuming someone hacked into it and got personal info and took it from there).... . . . :(:angry: So, I'll let ya'll know... .. .

Don't these hackers have anything better to do? Why can't we simply acquire and/or deal semi-automatics, battle pirates, send alcohol and phunnee pins around in peace?.... . . . .....man, leave us alone! :rolleyes:B)

I WAS engaging in Friday night drunken hilarity, I just went out to do it. Two women that I didn't realize I like so well, and two others that are more fun then I ever knew. Was up til midnight laughing.

Fantastic, Jyess! Just lurve when this happens - - throw some heavy alcohol at a boring, reserved, straight-back-and-sides individual and watch a new person germinate........Of course, the new personality can be horrific, but more often in my experience it is suddenly someone whom I wanna be around all the time, and I proceed to try to get them drinking whenever we're together.

Sometimes I think I'd like my kids a lot more if they were constantly hammered.....

:huh::o

Just back from a baby shower . . . I was the "help" . . . much running back and forth between my house and the neighbors, fetching and cooking . . . we're gonna spike the punch later after the "baby" goes home. :P

Highly recommended.... . . .......again, everyone will be so much more easily tolerated.

:lol:

I've been to three baby showers in the past six months, and boy, did I need alcohol at each of them - - none to be found, however. Loved the mothers-and-dads-to-be, but was often at a loss with their great-aunts, second cousins, work-sharing partners, neighboUrs, doulas..... . . ...

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.
