So, Chuck and Camilla hit town last evening, and will be milling about at our National War Memorial tomorrow for all of the ceremonies. Thank goodness I found this article:

Now I'm clear on how to properly conduct myself should I suddenly be seated with them at a dinner engagement, or positioned behind them at the grocery store, aerobics class, etc.

A great article, full of vital bits of advice:

At a recent media briefing, however, the question of whether the royals had received a flu shot went unanswered in the name of medical and personal privacy, so it might be wise to always carry a jar of hand sanitizer with you, and don't hesitate to use it immediately following any physical contact with the Prince and Duchess. A mask might not be a bad idea, either.

:lol:

Members of the royal family, it is noted, enjoy eating the food and drink of the country or region they're visiting. So break out the BeaverTails, poutine, maple syrup and Bloody Caesars

Hello me psillies- Yes, it has been quiet here! I don't know where I've been? :huh:

Ah yes, I know, staying away from all the vomit stories because I vomit at the drop of a hat (please- don't drop yer hats right now :lol: )

Heading out to see "The Men Who Stare at Goats"... .. .....looks phab .. .....

How was it? It looks great!

Raychelle- all your posts :lol: x 10

Mine had projectile vomit....it hit the wall and slowly slid down.

Egads! that's the worst!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I ever tell you guys that in my "letter of application" (I use that term loosely) for my preschool position, I informed the director that I don't gag at the smell (or sound)of vomit? I'm pretty sure that's why I got the job.

:lol: That and yer spelling abilities! I spell fo-net-ick-lee.

Silver lining on an otherwise crappy evening,

I bid on and won a romantic trip for 2 to Victoria BC to stay at the Fairmont Empress!! Think I should take the hubby or find someone worthy of a romantic weekend?? ;)

That rocks! Jealous!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Psillies. Cinnamon rolls are rising. They shall be ready in about 1 1/2 hours. That should be plenty of time for you all to get here. I shall expect you shortly.

Got any left? <drooldrooldrool>

Just a poop in. God, I miss talking about poop and vomit, not having to worry bout spellin and "Perfect English" and being uncerimonially un civilized! My computer crashed and I can't afford a new one. Just wanted to thank you all for the many times you've lifted my spirits. Hope to poop in now and then, but access is hard now. You all sound so good and I miss ya!

Sleezen :unsure:

We miss you Sleezen!

When did Jesus become a psilly??????????? :lol:

Men Who Stare at Goats....... . ..well, the premise was funnier than the movie, methinks. Mildly entertaining, and staying power due to it being based on a true army regiment back in the 60's.

Actually, the TRUE staying power came, entirely, from the fact that George Clooney is in practically every scene, and I will sit and stare at him doin' just about anything for two hours... . ..... <_<:rolleyes:

Nothing frightful about fried dough in the shape of a beaver tail! Unless it's not gluten-free..........oh I want one. My mouth just got wet :lol: :lol:

Chaz and Milly? :lol: Sounds like me 80 year old aunt and uncle.

Why doesn't George do anything for me? Never has....I can appreciate him aesthetically but nope, not dreamy. He's aging quite elegantly though.

I much prefer rougher men like Anthony Kiedis (RHCP), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) and.........Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall

Everyone in that movie is beautiful. Julia Ormond is breathtaking! Ethereal.

A solemn day here in Ottawa..... ...will be heading down to the War Memorial for 11 o'clock with the Ripper -- he's not so solemn, as his school has the day off. <_<:rolleyes:

Almost every Remembrance Day that I can recall has been cold, rainy and miserable here, something challenging but fitting to stand through at the ceremonies. Today, however, is beautiful -- bright sun and 9C.

My dad did not see action during WWII.....he guarded German prisoners at the Trenton base. Many of the detainees, young, scared kids like himself, became his friends, and I still have three beautiful wooden carvings that prisoners whittled away at as they passed the time in their cells, and gave to Dad when he openly admired them.

I will certainly look at them today, and think of my dad laughingly trying to translate a joke into German, or helping the young wounded soldier with a mangled hand write a letter home .

I wonder if he was ever dressed as a sumo wrestler, or an old, matronly lady, back in those prison-camp days. . .. ....... :rolleyes:

Good news is that Mark installed a TV on the wall in there fer me, but of course that got "tripped" too. :P I just did me routine and then schlepped out to the circut box....hoping no one would see me in me shorts and tank top :ph34r: I phigure that is not how I need to present meselph to any neighboUrs wif whom I have not had the pleasure to meet--and any poor innocent younguns who may be in the vicinity :o:lol:

      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.

      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?
