I been caught!

Packing to switch hotels. Decided to say hi before closin' the 'puter.

My neighbors daughter works at IHOP here. I went in and asked to sit in her section. She walks up, looks completely mystified and says "....are....you....my......mother's.......neighbor.....?" I started laughing and she yelled OMG!!

It was fun. We hugged and chatted. She's going to school and plans to apply to nursing school when she finishes her pre-reqs. She was living on a different island but couldn't focus on her studies so she came to Waikik. She calls this her 'boot camp'. :o<_<

I knew y'all'd feel sorry for her.

Well, the summer that never was has come to a semi-official end here in Unionville. Today started with bright sunshine which has now turned into complete overcast. The forecast is rain for the next five days starting this evening, so....

We took down and stored the deck furniture for the season, and shut down and covered the air conditioner. This will, of course, mean the forecast is wrong and the next few days will be warm and sunny and deck friendly.

I have a pheeling that somefin momentous is in the air.

Many moons ago, me neighbor and I were taking Smackl (age 3?) to Dairy Queen. The freezer that was up front that held all the cakes and Dilly Bars and Buster Bars and Star Pops was empty because they were defrosting it/getting ready to clean it. Smackl always got a Dilly bar or a Star so of course my neighbor and I immediately go into "Oh No, it looks like they are all out" "I guess there won't be any treats for us today" . . . And Smackl says "Damnit!!" loud enough for the people working at the counter and the customer who's there. Red-faced I couldn't help but laugh and I noted that he got his "usage" perfect. The customer at the counter said "I'm glad that kind of thing happens to other people, too".

When the time comes, we need to have that Hawaiin real-time webcam set up in the delivery room for a really special synchronized Psilly get-together.. . . . ........ :D

:lol::unsure::ph34r:

Lee-sa....how's the baby watch? Anything happen overnight?

Nada

My children learned a colorful new set of words, mostly revolving around the "F" word. I had to have multiple chats with them about appropriate language--sooooo praying ds doesn't drop an f-bomb at school today...... :huh:

According to my mother, my first attempt at profanity as a wee child was....

...ready?.....

G*d-damm!t-sh!t-to-He!!

Jess- I love you but I hate you!

DITTO! <_<:P

Same here.

Very likely.....I believe I have come quite close, as some establishments don't know the difference between 'air conditioning' and 'REFRIGERATION"!!!!! :angry:

BTW....Here in the States, that would be Murphy's Law.

Lee-sa.....I see you down there--any news?

Nothin, yet, but Briana has decided to start her maternity leave.

Sealed lips don't work as well :ph34r: :ph34r:

Swim was fab. Whole body hurts, them waves is serious.

Moved to the Sheraton, luxurious, and yet designed for work. Got a desk, plugs, internet that works, air conditioner that doesn't drown out the passing trucks with it's rattle-

Only down side is that because I checked in early, they had to give me a room with an ocean view...

Now you can all feel sorry for me :D :D :D

Gotta finish my homework, due in a few hours.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
