With all the rain you've had, I'd be thinking that your parking lot would be squeaky clean, POeter!
Well, the rain and warm weather melted all the snowbanks, revealing the, um, stuff, that had been hiding all winter. :blink:

Jack is really looking forward to may 10th, when Robert S. comes to town. . . .......:)B)

I hope the venue is better this time and he actually gets a chance to meet Rob.

Hello me Psilly Friends- I have been MIA too long but missing me psillls. Still slowly recovering from stomach phlugue. My tummy's getting better but I am so flipping tired. Do youse guys find that it takes you longer to recover from stomach stuff now that you have celiac? I'm starting to worry.

I have been following along on me gmail and must say Geoss's pre-inebriation poem was very touching! :wub: :wub:

Gianknit- I hope your doc can get to the bottom of Skeeter's problems. Poor thing. That doesn't sound very fun. I had a year in college (this is a weird story) where I threw up every day after I ate. I went to the doctor and he accused me of being sub-consciously bulimic (uhm, how would that be possible?).

I fired him, my new doc scoped me and it turned out it was a combo of GERD and anxiety. It was very strange. Any possibility she has panic attacks? I get nauseous when anxious now but never throw up. It was just that year.

Nickers- HAPPY BELATED MAMMA'S DAY!!!!!!!!!

Would it be inappropriate to call you a SEXY MAMA? Eat those chocolates- they sound gooooodddd!

Terry has his appointment for his cardiac MRI come through for April 19th (pretty rapid timing for the NHS..keep you posted folks....)

Keep us posted. Thinking of Tel.

Hope everyone else is good. I'm still recovering from my race on Sunday. Tis hard to go up and down stairs!! :rolleyes:

But we're proud of you and you should be proud of yerself (and take a hot bath and some Motrin)!!

Came home to no power last night. Discovered the true downside to making everything you eat -- my choices for dinner were, cold cioppino, or, nothing.....

Drove to the next town to get glutino pretzels, having been inspired by a different thread and got to see the awesome site of driving over the bridge onto a completely dark island, kinda like what original settlers might have seen, y'know, without the car and the bridge, and the half-eaten bag of pretzels next to them...

Had pretzels and salsa by candlelight, a glass of wine, and went to bed.

Mmmmmmmm . . . salsa . . . so just how many lessons do you need before you know how to make good salsa??

Evidently quite a lot :P

There's 3 levels of beginner classes, 4 classes each, then I don't know how many in intermediate.....I think that's when you get to add the peppers to it ;) Advanced is when it really gets HOT !!!!! :D

Alone???? Salsa is no fun alone.

Tis quiet here. My store is quiet this week because of March break.

We're gonna make lasagna for dinner and then watch the long-awaited return of Flashforward. It's on for two hours starting at eight Eastern and Pacific; seven Central. I guess nobody in the Mountain time zone has a TV, cuz they never give a time for them. :blink: Maybe Julie knows something...

Just stopping by--big (((hug))) fer Jan-it :D

So much going on here lately, I'm mentally exhausted and just not spending a lot of time on-line. Nothing to do with Matt--he's great and I'm actually so happy to have him here right now. He's going home on Sunday, Dr's appt on Monday morning to remove stitches, etc.

Hope all is well wif everybody and that we've all just hit a busy stint all at once. :)

I am finalized. And wiped out. My boss that I complain about came in to the lab, saw my study materials spread out on my desk, said " oh.... you're....." I said, my final's today." He said " I won't bother you then, let's meet tomorrow." and left. :wub:

He really is a nice guy.

Holy crap!! Where in hell have I been?? :huh:

I must take a moment to pass on an incredible secret: a sure-fire, effective method for finding any small thing that you have dropped on the floor - - hardwood, tile, carpeting - - and lost sight of.. .. . .. . . ..a nail, paper clip, barrette, etc. This was divulged to me by Jack, the kid who is full of these amazing little things. He came upon me a few days ago, angrily swearing as I tried to find a small button that had fallen off my cuff as I was undoing my sleeve to do the dishes. "Mom! Mom! it's so easy to find somethin' like this! You just lie down on your back on the floor, then move around, wiggling your whole body slowly all over the place.. . . .and you'll suddenly feel it!"

Mygawd. I lay down on the hardwood, moved my body around... . . . ......and I suddenly felt the button. Under my shoulder, as I swept in a big arc. 'Twas quite astonishing.

What a revolutionary secret!

:rolleyes:B)

Jack's observations are quite ingenious....I'd like to add that in the case of small, sharp objects--I tend to phind them as soon as I walk through said rooms barephoot :P

Sorry 'bout yer final--you sure it's as bad as you think??

How sad is it that for my undergrad pre-med I was going to major in mathmatics (cuz everyone else was majoring in biology :rolleyes: ) and my favorite subject was......calculus (physics was a strong 2nd). But I'm proud to be a nerd! :P

Gads Em! No one can do 12th grade math! Just try to get him to survive until he hits calculus, then we're here for him.

Tis true!! I had some sort of advanced math analysis class. It was only offered once a day and only 10 of us were crazy enough to take it! I was also not a big fan of geometry-theorems, postulates, axioms, arrrrrgh :blink: I don't want assumed answers, I want a solid equation, solid answer. (I also LURVE stoichiometry, I still use it daily, and sometimes for phun :rolleyes: )

I don't want assumed answers, I want a solid equation, solid answer.

This was my problem with programming - too many options. I kept asking for the right answer, and kept getting responses like "well, this way works...." or "if you started this way, then you should do this, but if you started this other way instead then...." Ummm, which way should I have started? "well it depends......"

All the solid answer/understanding concept questions I completely aced, all the coding questions I totally bombed. Too many possibilities.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
