Are you kidding me?? Balls with sauce?? I had to back away from the computer to keep from putting down something inappropriate.

Um... ........ . yeah.. ... ... ..I, too, was overcome with the possibilities, and backed dutifully away.... <_<:rolleyes:

I was actually telling DH about POeter's balls. We have met POeter and Jacquie in the flesh, but at the time the subject of P's now infamous balls never came up, and we never got to see them until the pic was put up here.

They're probably much more impressive in real life. If we ever meet again, POeter, please bring along your balls - - a photo, I just sense, does not do them justice.

:lol:

Holy crap... . . . . . ......in all the misery and ugliness of the horrific oil spill in the Gulf, I have just found a piece of beauty. Our national news station just had a live interview with Phillippe Cousteau, Jacques's son. who was offering his expert perspective.

What a sight for sore eyes!

OH!!!

THIS is excellent!!...if only I'd have had a camera with me over the years.......the best was the tin of gloss white paint thrown onto new carpet (splattering up couch & cushions). I think I could even laugh about it now :lol:

Mornin', Peeeeeps!

Yes, 'tis raining here, as well, but much needed. We've had no precip for weeks.. . ..... .me grass is brown and crunchy... . ..

Hmmm....the fascinating, ever-present Status Button. I have pondered this thing, and wondered much... . ... .... .my official Status is Neutral.

I suppose this is a good thing.

But I'm rarely neutral. With anything. <_<

And Phillippe Cousteau in a speedo.. .. ... .

I would NOT remain neutral on this. :rolleyes::lol:

Was Jacques Cousteau this beautiful??

Uh.. . ........ . ...... ..nope. .. ... ....

Maybe it's for the Celiac dating site: "single male seeking women." "Seeking a Felipe Cousteau type - must look good in wet suit." The possibilities are endless. Could also be to warn people of your mood - "grumpy today". " annoyingly upbeat" " not as funny as she could be"

M (14) has a MD appt for yearly check. Going to insist he have the blood tests for Celiac. Have printed the info page from Univ of Chicago Celiac Ct to explain what he needs. Neither boy has symptoms but it seems it's a good idea to make sure nothing is going on. I am optimistic that this MD will have a small clue about celiac disease.

Hope all goes well and the doc is Celiac aware ;)

My take on the status bar is that it's like Facebook, but we don't use it here. I've never tried, anyway :huh:

Had a really great weekend--Mark is phlying back as we speak :(

The unhappy face must mean 'not flying back to be with you' :( It's OK. Pretty soon you'll be back where you belong and you'll only ever use these: :D :D :D :D :D

Correct--he came home Friday night and went back today. I've been through this plenty of times, but somehow this time is really hitting me hard.

Yes, excellent possibilities.. . . .. . ....Hell, I am NOT simply neutral! I am married, middle-aged, a mother, an employee, of average height and weight.. . . ..... . . ..actually, that does sound fairly neutral, dunnit?.. .. ......<_<

Perhaps, this being a celiac site, the status button only relates to the disease itself.

Choices of Daily Status: Bloated, Flatulent, Itchy, Fatiqued, Flattened Villi, Healing Nicely.... . .... . :rolleyes:

Well, we all must try it!! Methinks we should all put "Psilly" as our respective statuses (um.....statii?)

Soon it will be over, Paghteigh! Mark won't be flying away anymore..... . just driving away to work for a few hours... :)

Gaaaah! Glad to be at work today, tis hard to give up my Mondays of quiet house and getting things done for a houseful of loud people who want clean laundry, but don't seem to want to let me do it <_< But, the kids were getting along sooooo well this weekend and for that, I am uber thankful. Hub and I got to go on a date Saturday night too, which was fun.

To a psilly, more wodka is defintely needed. :lol:

But of course!

Oh Jess! Is that the new oven you are getting for your remodelled kitchen? It looks great! ;)

:lol: :lol:

Ew! Rarely does anyone we would want to see streaking do it.

I'm having a craving for meatballs. :)

The Portland Naked Bike ride is coming up. Thousands of neked people riding all over Portland. Gads, can you imagine those seats :blink: My BFF wants me to go watch with her ;)

Are you kidding me?? Balls with sauce?? I had to back away from the computer to keep from putting down something inappropriate.

Well sumphin's gotta make 'em more appetizing for this vegetarian! ;)

I was getting tired. Can never have a relaxing day when Hub is home.

here here!!

I'm sorry!! I hope the rest of your day looks up!!

      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..

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      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.
