You may be off the hook, Kareighn. :lol:

I'd still like me polar co-ordinated scarf set B)

I'll work on that. It's not really scarf season here.

Went to PF Changs for the first time tonight. I have had regular PF Changs at neighborhood parties as the manager lives across the street. We got 2 gluten-free dishes - spicy chicken and beef with snow peas and used the coupon for free lettuce wraps. It was delicious. They made a big fuss about the Food being gluten-free.

The Changs that I have been to really seem to take pride in their gluten-free food. I just love it there :)

They should be home about 10:30 tonight. July 4 is the worst. They have to completely pack up a huge fireworks tent and put it into trucks. If they get done before the other tent, they go over there to help. Will probably be 2 a.m. :blink:

Just walked down to my public library to discover they're closed all weekend. Huff. At least I got some exercise.

Wish I was in on the mini-psillie gathering!

Well guys, believe it or not, my admitting physician was Dr. John Hung :lol: , and I think he must have changed his name to compensate for the tiny thumbs, like little matchsticks they were :rolleyes:.

A doc came wandering into my two-bed room yesterday morning (other bed empty) and poked his head around and said, "Are you Ms. Salcido??? (incredulously)" I said no, I was not, but asked was he Dr Hung?? :lol: :lol: :ph34r: You could tell I was feeling bettah!

I used to work with a Dr. Wellington Hung.......

He even got a mention in Playboy for his name. I think he was a Pediatric Endocrinologist (Maybe?) but a urologist would have been better. :P

It's just too easy. I imagine his parents laughed hysterically every time they thought about the nicknames their son would get. He almost had to become either some prestigious professional, or a really good boxer.

OMG.. ... . .. must be something about pediatric endocrinologists - - after my diabetes diagnosis as a child, the endo I saw for the first two or three years was a rather severe, older German specialist named Berndt Koch.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It has been a good day so far, but the heat is keeping me indoors at the moment. Fifteen minutes ago, the observation at the airport 2 miles west of here was 90F. With the humidity, it feels like 97F. It could be worse, though. The relative humidity is only 36%.

There is a bit of sadness in the house. Due to escalating problems, we had to send Bagheera back on Friday morning. The difficult and heartbreaking decision came on Thursday. He is such a sweet and loving little guy who gets along wonderfully with humans. Unfortunately, it seems that he needs to be in a one-cat household. :(:(

Sorry to hear about Bagheera. I'm sure he'll find a good home.

POeter, I am so sorry to hear this. A beautiful little kitten like Bagheera will find a new home quickly, for sure.

This brings me to other very sad news that I must mention to you, my dear friends. Our beautiful, dear rescued standard poodle, Charlie, is no longer with us. Such a sad tale, and I am still grieving. He had challenges when we adopted him -- he was devocalized, he had been abused, and he was middle-aged. There was fear of men, lack of socialization and a tendency to be unpredictable with strangers while on-leash due to fear.

Well, after SO much work, so much obedience training, desensitization and counter-conditioning, he still had a long way to go. Last week he suddenly bit Jack, and we knew that was it.... ..the final straw.

He was such a big, beautiful, loving animal. . . ..but some horrid, poor excuse for a human being mistreated him for the first five years of his life, and forever scarred him.

I only wish I had the guy's name. :angry: :angry: :angry:

We are all grieving, and perhaps looking at a new pup during the summer that can be Elsie's new friend.

Oh Emmy, I'm so sorry. I guess your dad needed a dog and figured one trained by you would be the best kind.

I hope Jack understands that it wasn't Charlie's doing.

      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

      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.
