Birthday update- Hub & M came home from scouts. J made brownies. Had a couple of presents and cards.

Patti- maybe you should have thrown out the toaster, too!

Jess- of course we are jealous or reminiscing our youth ( I've been with hub 32 years). We need some fun!

I have found arnica fabulous for a lot of things: bruising, bad cuts, my daughter's acne flare-ups, and most particularly swelling (from injury and/or surgery). I'll be anxious to hear how it works for you, Low-eee. . .... ..

Hmmmmmm.I wonder if that will work for my arm. Can you believe it is STILL bruised? Been almost 4 months <_<

You bet your sweet bippy! :P:lol::D

Oooh! I remember that!

Laugh-In! :lol:

Hubby picking it up for me on way home. Found out from someone on the bruising thread I posted that Arnicca Montana can cause GI problems and internal bleeding. Considering that I have an ulcer I think witch hazel is safer.

Thanks!!!!!

Witch Hazel has already faded it a little. As for what the bruise looks like. Th eye looks like a shiner but the face is more like a peninsula.

P.S. Karanggggg- glad hubby is not in the doghouse!!!!!!!!!

So, I'm alone fer dinner tonight so I thought I'd have a hamburger with toast....put the burger on the stove and start the toast. Open the fridge and remember they come to get the trash in a little while so I start cleaning out in there and rearranging.....

Must have gotten lost in me thoughts (dangerous) because I looked up and there was a thick grey stream of smoke coming up out of the toaster. :o I immediately unplug it and dig the burned bread out wif a knife, but the toaster is still smoking--bad. :o :o

I'm petrified that the fire alarm will go off and I'll be blamed for evacuating a building full of people. :ph34r: I open the window, get the ceiling fan going, turn the A/C on....then I carry the stupid toaster into the other room--for what, I don't know.....it still smells but the smoke has dissipated.

There was still time to get the fossilized piece of bread out into the trash before it was collected. :rolleyes:

I probably shouldn't be left alone :lol::unsure:

Glad you're OK! Too bad we weren't together. What a team we would have made! I managed to spill a glass of apple juice all over the counter, counter chair and floor- what a sticky mess!!!!!!!. Got on my hands and knees and cleaned it as best I could. Hubby washed floor when he got home from work (he really is Zuperman).

We're in a new house and they never hooked up the vent from the oven to the outside of our house. I made duck in August and we had to use the self clean setting on the oven. Surprised the smoke detectors didn't go off that night. Have paid for someone to hook it up correctly since then.

We did return home from the movies one night and evidently our alarm was going off for 4 hours ("Carbon Monoxide Detected"). We had left the windows open because it was warm but called the fire department anyway (the 7 kids next door LOVED that). Turns out that because my husband installed hard wood floors (and did a lot of cutting wood on the first floor of our house) without covering the smoke detectors, small particles finally set the detectors off.

Glad yer okay lady!! Be careful! Were you lost in thought, living vicariously thru Jess's upcoming 2 nights of 'rectification'??

:lol::lol::lol:

I'm following Jess's lead and hoping for one night of rectification! Perhaps after the Haunted Motel (or perhaps there?)!

Not jealous -just old. I do plan on being a copy cat after the Haunted Motel (I hope). It's sad when you can remember the last time and it was months ago.

Well, no need to be jealous. We watched baseball and then fell asleep as soon as we went upstairs. Ah well, I don't have a tv, so no world series for him tonight. :D

Who's volunteering to be our third stooge?

We'll see how I do at the Haunted Motel. Hopefully I won't fall in the dark and then I can come home and attack Clark. He deserves Superwoman after all the support he's given. I think I mentioned (brain fog) that last year we went to the Haunted Penitentiary in Philly. It was really awesome and extra creepy because it was a real prison. I took a really long time walking through. I actually talked back to the people trying to scare me. I even scared one back - I grabbed his hand (most were in the cells). I imagine it was a cool job for young kids.

Thanks, guys! Dinner out @ a very lovely gluten-free restaurant, then cake back here......got a couple of old friends coming over for drinks.. . . . .....

DH is in no doghouse -- he has dutifully remembered, and got me a high-tech heart-rate monitor. All good!

Dear gawd.. . . . ...a woman looking forward to a night of rectification?? .. . . ...... ..

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
