We weren't even on a date! I laughed it off. The next morning his buddies were razzin him about it and he called me in a calm, yet underlying panic asking if he'd really proposed, like I had really taken him seriously :rolleyes: We ended up going and doing our laundry together :P We met on August 27, 1996 he proposed July 28, 1997 and we were married August 1, 1998 at the ripe old age of 20 :blink:

My glass/ ceramic cooktop cracked. It's over the 5 year dubious warranty! My cleaning lady was doing what I do sometimes, pushing the edge of the cleaning pad under the edge to get crumbs. The replacement part is $990 plus about $150 to install. Or a complete new one is $1163 plus $60 install from Nebraska Furniture mart. Not sure how fast I can get it.

If it's not one thing it's $1000. :(

Oh Karaang, sad.gif

I'm so sorry. I'm assuming it's the electric glass top. I hate mine but it would still be a bummer to have to replace it. Is that the sort of item you could get on an amazon top site? It's time for you to have some good luck.

Sending positive energy your way.

Thanks, Lo! You are not supposed to use them, or at least the one with the crack over it. I'm trying to get one as quick as possible. They don't seem to make any downdrafts with regular burners anymore unless they have 2 burners and a grill.

OMG. . . . .

Hmmmm... . kinda dumb. . . ..... .

Trick of the headstand I just learned so yer head doesn't hurt- put elbows and forearms on the floor making a triange with your thumbs and pointer fingers. Rest your head in this triangle but use your forearms to bear most of the weight. You'll have more balance too! :D

For the handstands, I make sure I'm close enough to a wall so that if I start to fall, I can catch my feet on the wall to push myself back before I fall flat on my back. It's a lot of core control-I've learned not to vault myself- but that is how I fell though :huh::lol: :lol:

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.
