It's actually quite bad Open Original Shared Link and the rain is expected to continue for several more hours (then a brief break before the next storm :o ). While some rivers flood every year, it's usually in the spring. This winter water storm is unusual. They've even canceled Amtrak service.

Gads. Could be a bad winter.

Maybe you and BE can be phflooded in together. one cannot be expected to go to work or take finals if it means you must go thru the phflood waters.

Matt survived the camping. Said it wasn't too bad. The kids lost his marbles. :unsure:

Well, ya see, this is a country founded by the Brits (after they took it away from the Maori) and there is a certain sense of tradition to be maintained and proper decorum observed, which means that the traditional red Santa with his snowy white beard and his fat belly and his Ho's to the third power usually prevail. But you can tell Jeff that there are some rebellious Santas who still wear a Santa hat, but throw off all that other suffocating stuff, and instead of arriving on sleighs, come zipping in on surfboards - scares the heck out of some of the wee ones who think this kind of Santa will not come down chimneys and bring pressies :o The younger (teen) generation is in the process, it would seem of developing different Christmas traditions. We have long since abandoned the outmoded notion that you MUST have the traditional Christmas dinner at midday in sweltering heat, trying to stuff down the last of the Xmas pud. Mind you, lots of people still do this, but the more enlightened take a pique nique to the beach or a local park (that's what we are doing this year with a couple of other couples, we oldies preferring to lounge in the shade instead of bake ourselves red in the sun

Now my boys are wondering what sort of Xmas tree you have, if you have one? Also, do we want to see a fat Santa in a wetsuit or beachwear? I think your Santa must be buffer than ours.

Well, most peoples do the traditional tree with the balls (but no penii) and the tinsel and the angel plonked on the top, but they tend to be pine trees rather than fir (Monterey Pine is particularly well adapted to our climate, but does not make for a good tree :blink: ). I have opted out of the tree tradition since hub accidentallly :P threw out all my ornaments, and instead just go for a yule log or sometimes nothing at all depending on how grinchy I feel (and depending on who's coming to the house). Fake trees are very popular sine the green movement got into full swing. Most Santas wear cushions and other padding so the bowl of jelly on a surfboard (revolting thought :rolleyes: ) does not happen. Don't think I have ever seen a non-buff surfer, and have no desire to :P

Thank you for the informative cultural lesson! We are happy to know that most or all suffers are in good shape.

BE and his dd came to see the show last night and I met them for drinks afterwards. Will see BE tonight after the matinee to find out where I scored on the (female) child approval rating. His son does not approve of his father dating, so that introduction may not be for a while. :ph34r: :ph34r:

I accomplished nothing today, other than scarfing down some very tasty yams.

Dear gawd.. . . . ..this is a gluten-free forum! The personal messages should absolutely have as long a shelf life as the gluten-free, preservative-loaded, processed and packaged foods we must buy! (currently have a bag o' bagels in the fridge that are fine after three weeks, I believe). . . . . .

:rolleyes:

They should be. Is your messenger full. I know it only keeps 75 messages.

No "shelf life," but you can't reply to a conversation if the party who began it has deleted it from their messages. It sounds like that has happened here.

Deleted it by mistake. My bad!!!

Wonder if Rashelles's final will be postponed. Here's hoping. It's been a raging storm here and the last time it was like this a lot of people lost their homes. Thank God we're on a hill so the water flows down. I'm praying for the people who live in the downtown area and by the ocean. Being on an Island has it's pluses and minuses.

P.S. Am I confusing Rashelle with Jesse going to school?

Returning to being psilly (and I hope I don't offend anyone or get kicked out of my dear psilly thread) Clark and I bought Tony some rather disturbing gifts for Christmas (it's the what do you buy the boy who only wants money). We bought him an "Enormex Condem" (he's still a virgin but always talks about how large he is). We've always been open talking about sex so we thought he'd find it phunny. The back of the package says"to ensure maximum protection from conception this product has been rigorously tested on an African bull elephant before being rinsed out and re-rolled and packaged." Novelty item only. He also asked for a Jesus Action Figure. There are at least 6 on Amazon. Better than a Sarah Palin Bobble Head. The Beatles poster and X-box games we bought him are tame.

Hugs from a blushing Loey who better get down to wrapping gifts before my computer goes all whacky on me again for procrastinating .

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Am I nuts?

      By GlorietaKaro · Posted

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
