So anyway....I need to go out and get a few things (cards, groceries) and it's pouring. It literally never rains here, and the one day I have things to do, the sky opens up :o

Well, I guess we do need the water..... :rolleyes:

Summeresque :rolleyes: Sounds so romantically European :rolleyes: <sigh>

Hee! So I go to the store between the raindrops. I'm thinking this is actually the way to go since at least there's no blazing sun to contend wif. I'm pheeling pretty good enjoying the sultry but bearable air, and as I get to the car, trying to protect the bag with the cards and my magazine :P , I drop the big bag and the yogurt goes one way, the spaghetti squash rolls under the car next to me and the bag of walnuts is just laying there on the wet pavement. :huh:

I open the car door, of course now the rain is coming down harder and my whole seat gets wet while I load what I have on my arm and try to retrieve the stuff from the ground :angry:

It was really kinda funny, when you think about it B)

I got home just in time, though--it's so dark I had to turn on the light--looks like a stormy afternoon :D

Ummmm . . . then there was a lag . . . and the conversation picked up again from here . . .

Well, maybe if you saw Open Original Shared Link before she puts her makeup on in the morning . . . just kiddin' Em. By the way, I did not realize that the chupacabra was also known as a GOAT SUCKER. Now that really puts me into a quandry . . . If I get a goat tree, won't that just be attracking the chupacabras to my yard?? Do the sell anti-chupacabra spray to protect your goat trees??

I believe it all started with the phrase . . . The goat is the new yeti . . . or sumptin like that . . . from Thom??? . . . or was it talking about gluten-free meaning goat-free . . . who knows . . . and I'm not going back to find out!!! . . . OK . . . well, maybe later.

Play date is over. Peanut allergy girl is also allergic to dogs and of course Jo-dog is so dog-gone-cute (so is your Angus chupacabra, btw, Bev) that she couldn't help petting her and then I would tell her to wash her hands and I would get an eye-roll - not the really good one reserved for parents - just the "Oh mannnnn, she saw me touch the dog again!!!" eye-roll.

Alrighty then, Skeeter's now off for a sleep-over (that girl is majorly over-scheduled, someone should talk to her mother!!) and then it will be about time for Smakcl to go to Tae Kwon Do.

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Wedding Day! Bring your kleenex............. :wub: :wub: :wub: and may you dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess- yay- no more 101 degrees for you!

Well, we had quite an exciting day here yesterday. They "think" (my neighbor saw it) a tornado ripped down our street and several near us. We had a "microburst" last summer but this time there was a twirling cloud. You should see our backyard....... a over 100 year old tree split in half and landed smack on the tool shed (9fell back- away from the house- thank God). Kurt slept through it :huh: :huh: and I was in the supermarket.

When I turned onto our street I almost pooped.........trees everywhere......obstacle course. Our fence is trashed, tool shed gone (neighbor annoyed- yeah- like it's OUR fault- because three large branches landed in his yard).

So glad it fell the other way........this way and it would have taken out the bedroom Kurt was asleep in!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
