. . . but yesterday we spent an hour at one location and still didn't find it. Talked about it throughout the evening about theories on how/where it's hidden . . .

Do you actually PAY to do this activity, Jyaghnutt? .. . . . . . ....um, I'd love for you to roll this into a tourist activity.......come to Canada's National Capital, and fit in some geo-caching at my house.

Dear gawd... . . . this would be absolutely the LAST thing I could tolerate in me life, a life already filled at every turn with "where's my eraser?? It was riiiiigghhhhhht heeeeeere by my homework!!" "MOM! What happened to my UPS cord?? It was, like, on this desk! We need to spend an hour in this location til we FIND IT!!" "Em, you're good a this. . . ....can you search for my keys? They could be hidden in near the couch - - you can look for the little red tag attached to them.. . ... . ....perhaps an hour in that one location". . . . . ....

GAH. To actually go out and partake in this as a planned activity... . . . . .... :wacko:

That is terrific. Actually, it reminds me of how I decided to start opening the old-fashioned ice-cream cartons/boxes many years ago, and we all still do it to this day. Ya do NOT open them from the short side, but from the long side... . . .... so much easier to get all the ice cream out when they're getting empty, no ice cream all over your hands.. . . . ...

No need to pay . . . although you do need a gps. We already had one of those although I'm getting one that's designed for hiking/geocaching. Our current one is for the car and only lasts three hours till it needs to recharge. Probably wouldn't survive much of an impact or a light sprinkle of rain either. The new one will be . . . hardy.

Sounds like you're an experienced geocacher already!!! . . . and I'm sure there are already some hidden not to far from your house . . . we'll be over later and have a look around.

Forgot to tell you what happened at J's High School football* game Friday night. He's a cornerback* so he was next to the opposing players side. They had 2 extra men on the sideline who were yelling insults at J and at the refs*. The team was warned that the next time, they would have a penalty. The guys kept yelling and were ejected from the stadium. Guess who the men were? The school principal and assistant principal!

*Translations for Non-Americans:

Football - American Football played with a wierd shaped ball and boys in big pads and helmets

cornerback - defensive player always on the far side of the field from his parents so hard to see

Refs- Men wearing an unfortunate fashion choice and, in this game, in dire need of new eyeglasses

Hey, tell me what you think of this....I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping--yeah, I know, it's rediculous--but I always want to get something special for my mom and stepdad because they're so amazing, but I'm having a hard time thinking of something bc they don't really need anything. So they're going to Hawaii in January and I was thinking as their gift this year, while they were gone, I'd go to their house and prepare a month's worth of meals for them and fill up their freezer. They commute an hour each way every day and they're both tired when they get home, neither really wants to cook. I thought this might help out...

Side note: I had a dream that I was traveling all over WA state and I hopped on a ferry, not sure where I was going, and ended up at Jess's house! She seemed a little wierded out to see me, but was very hospitable :lol::lol:

I commute 90 minutes each way and couldn't do it if I didn't have a freezer full of food to grab on the way out the door, or to heat up when I got home. I think they would love it. I do crock pot meals (of course) but also fish in foil with little marinade or spice on it (put whole thing into oven to cook, sides up to you), sliced, cooked chicken breasts seasoned for Mexican or stir fry, twice baked potatoes wrapped in foil, you get the idea, both completely prepared, and quick to prepare things in case I feel like cooking.

My bologna has a first name it's O-S-C-A-R, my bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R. Oh! I love to eat it every day and if you ask me why I'll say.'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

I had to get that out of my system. I made my daughter a bologna sandwich this morning and that accursed jingle has been haunting me since! <_<

We've been having such fun on the gfp thread lately, and made such a crazy mess of it, that I thought it was time to move the silliness to it's own silly home. So come on in and join the silliness. Any topic is fair game. Laughter is the best medicine!

Does anybody else have a particularly annoying jingle stuck in their head? (Who let the dogs out?)

I'm new to this awesome forum, Celiac and thanks to Kareng this thread. Found out from my hubby that Vanilla Ice is getting a reality show where he builds a mansion. Am I the only one old enough to remember "Ice, Ice Baby?"

Holy temblors, Batman! Besides being awesome, Mother Nature can pack a punch! We have had 34 aftershocks in 36 hours, with a big five-oh yesterday centered just 10 kms from here :unsure: Just when things had quitened down and we had taken all the tape off the open shelving :rolleyes:. They told us the shaking was as hard as the 7.1 because it was so shallow (but it didn't last as long :P ) Just as well my cake was still in the oven or it would have fallen flat on its gooey face (honey-almond upside down pear cake - made from three different recipes or parts of recipes; needs a bit of tweaking :blink:, but the bridge club loved it after I slathered it with powdered sugar and ice cream :lol: ).So far only two little wriggles on the seismograph today. Wondering if I dare bake something??

Best not. That might call forth more aftershocks. :unsure:

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that.

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
