Skeeter update . . . testing that was done by the arse GI came back clean . . . had to find out through my pediatrician though. Pediatrician contacted the arse allergist that we saw over two years ago about what he check her for.

Anyway, pediatrician is ramping up to order some diagnostics so we can light a fire under the appropriate specialists. I like her . . . she's very much of an "I'm in it with you" kind of person.

What a bunch of ARSE crackers (except the pediatrician)! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Goosey- That whale bone vertebrae sounds SO cool!

From past experiences with Olympic venues (Salt Lake City): Because these are so popular, you can probably get them after the Olympics. For at least 1 year before and 3 years after, you could get SLC Olympic stuff at gift stores. I think the mittens were made for charity to pay for the Olympics. We were at Whistler last year & got our Olympic shirts. Going to be in Tahoe area this year & at Squaw which had Olympics in 196? & they still have Olympic stuff.

I baked yesterday, I experimented with gluten-free, vegan chocolate cupcakes with vegan chocolate/espresso frosting......Wholly sh!t, they were AMAZING!!!! I didn't know vegan could taste like that! They were in no way psilly ;)

Let it rip. I won't tell anyone, and you can blame the dog/child/husband or anybody else who happens to be in the room. :ph34r:

Thanks for your support!! :lol:

Finally found the Burly Robed Messenger's Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal. Just made some for lunch as I still have a headache (may be gluten withdrawl). Loved it! Its a cross between Cream of Wh#@t & Oatmeal, 2 of my old favorites. On to the chocolate as it replaces the endorphins my brain is supposedly missing.

OK, next time, add a pkt of hot cocoa mix to the cereal while you're cooking it......WOWZA!

Funny to be around Deaf people who think you can't hear them fart :lol:

If it's so cold you can see your breath and you fart outside, does a puff of 'smoke' appear near your bum???

Skeeter update . . . testing that was done by the arse GI came back clean . . . had to find out through my pediatrician though. Pediatrician contacted the arse allergist that we saw over two years ago about what he check her for. I don't know if you remember this, but he could tell by looking at her that he only needed to check her for environmental allergens. He also told me to challenge the celiac disease diagnosis because . . . wait for it . . . "the diet is too hard" . . . ummm, yeah, that's the reason you should challenge the diagnosis. Anyway, pediatrician is ramping up to order some diagnostics so we can light a fire under the appropriate specialists. I like her . . . she's very much of an "I'm in it with you" kind of person.

Pseriously?? I know we've been obscenely lucky with our doctors for the kids, however, I work with some of the arse-crackers. Tis very unfortunate that there are so many of them!!

I'm headed up there in a month or 2, if you don't git yer mittens, let me know and I'll see if I can rip some off. I'm sure if I say "please" they'll just hand 'em over. I LURVE Canadians!!

Olympic mittens have been plentiful around here, and they're only nine bucks. Ours say "Canada" on one side with a maple leaf, and the five rings on the outside. I stood looking at them not long ago, and put them back after I checked the label and it said, of course, Made in China. Dunno, just seemed kind of. . ..... . .dumb, er sumfin'. . . . ....:rolleyes:

Although I suppose if they were made over here they would be twenty bucks. . . . . .. ..

Patteigh! You left a cup o' pee at the lab? Precisely a cup? They needed eight ounces exactly? Did you pee in a measuring cup? :rolleyes: Actually, a cup is a whole lotta urine to be handing over. I usually put the li'l plastic container underneath mid-stream for a second only, and hand them that - - about an ounce, likely.

Isn't that fascinating? <_<:lol:

But that big orange jug - - man, that's a whole other ball game. . . . . .....

AND: WHY oh WHY do women not have access to very wide, shallow containers?? We are given a skinny, long container, not a problem for men, nice and neat.. .. .......us women...bah. Infuriating.

I didn't mean it literally, Em! :lol: I used the lil cup they handed me.....no wheres near an 8 ounce capacity which made it a pain to maneuver. Managed to get an ounce or two in there--that better be enough. :unsure:

I'm sporting a cute purple smiley phace stretchy bandage around me arm B)

Aren't ya all just so happy to know all that??? :P

Count down to the disco pah-tay tomorrow night. Friends are stashed in secret locations and I have the most obnoxious ABBA inspired outfit ever (with huge hoop earrings and a feather boa). The waiting is killing me! Senor K. knows something is up but not what. Asking for hints. I told him the only thing I can guarantee is that he will hear "Dancing Queen" at least once tomorrow night. :lol:

Skeeter looks at everything to see where it's made. Skeeter quote . . . "We need to go to China. They have everything there."

Skeeter's going in for another blood draw tomorrow . . . major allergy testing . . . I think it's gonna cost me some bigtime dollars (stupid insurance deductible) but I need some answers and if I get some, then it's worth it.

Bevel, looking forward to a review and pics of the par-tay. Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . I still haven't received my invitation in the mail.

Of course it is. I hope that this leads to the discovery of what's at the root of her symptoms. :)

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!
