BTW....what do you get at PFChangs? I've only been there once and did not like what I ordered.

Hopefully this isn't want you got and didn't like, but I always get Philip's Better Lemon Chicken with white rice. Chocolate Dome for dessert (if I can't eat it there, I take it home :P ).

We don't have PF Changs up here... . . . . ...it's phunny, I remember you saying this, Leeeesargh, when we were strolling along those hot Chicago streets to our late lunch in July- - that you were not impressed with Changs. All the millions of things you yak about in a day, and what you end up remembering. . . .. . .:rolleyes:

If we all go to Changs we get 4 different gluten-free things to share. J doesn't share well as he isn't a big fan of Chinese style food. He does love the pepper beef. We usually get the spiciest chicken thing (Dali chicken) and the lesser spicy chicken (Spicy Chicken) thing. Then something else to try. M& hub love the extra spicy one. I like the Spicy Chicken. We had the beef and snow peas and it was good. Always a chocolate dome.

Could you Psillies tell me, am I typing in English? As I posted above, I am still having trouble with emails being understood.

It was something with a crab or seafood sauce......blech. Actually, the taste wasn't so bad, just couldn't get past the texture......kinda.....slimey, I think.

I remember the stress of searching for our dog :( Ours was a happy ending. Someone saw my notice posted at the local library. They had taken our dog in....to their home, not the library.

Will be on the look- out but 12 miles is the farthest a lost dog has come to find me.

Since the little lost schnauzer that I posted on FB, we had another dog run down the street straight into M & hubs arms. He had a collar and went home quickly. My mom says that during the depression the Hobos marked your house for other Hobos to show you would feed them. We have been marked by lost dogs.

You probably can't understand a word I am saying because it's not in English orAmerican.

I ran your post through the language translator and it came out just fine :rolleyes:

We used to have a marked house too, but not just dogs - we even had a rabbit once. Sometimes the same dogs over and over so we knew where to take 'em home. We were the first house outside the city limits, where they could get off the street and run all over hell's acre. The rabbit we had for 10 days until the peeps got back from vacation and saw our ad in the paper. I bet the rabbit sitter was chastised :o He had hippity hopped over a lot of busy streets. We were kind of sad to see him go. One dog the owners were so irresponsible, instead of taking him home (again!), we took him to Pets Lifeline to try to get him rehomed, he was so unhappy :( .

Well, here is your text in Bulgarian - - perhaps this is what these blokes are seeing (if so, one cannot blame them for misunderstanding):

Ние обикновено получават на spiciest пилешки нещо (Дали пилешки) и по-малката Пикантно пиле (Пикантни пилешки) нещо. След това нещо друго, което да се опита.

Ro must have gone to take a nap!

*wakes up* huh what? Oh oops sorry, I got busy at work and then fell asleep how awful of me!

Dream time!

So to preface my dream, I am the clumsiest person you will ever meet. Even though I did take six years of ballet as a kid. So here goes.

I was teaching a theater troupe some sort of dance, and I had some of the students come up and demonstrate as I taught. It was to a common upbeat song ye hear around these days, but I can't remember what it was for the life of me now. But it was fun and everyone on stage was all bright and colorful. (And it was funny to see everyone mess up and me being the choreographer doing it perfectly. HA!)

And then the scene changes, and we are doing a slower dance. Its to a song that a guy in the troupe is singing. He's singing a song about a girl that appears in his dream. I don't think it is a real song though, which is funny since I can't song write for the life of me. (I do write poetry though.) Anyway, I was dancing in the song too, (maybe demonstrating what would be done?) And the boy does the final lift with me, and then sets me down. Apparently there was these moving blackboards as part of the set (Don't ask me why.) and I ran right into them as I tried to gracefully exit stage right. So of course, I just laugh and say, "Can we try that again." So we go through the sequence again, and I exit gracefully the second time around. (To this part of my dream my coworker says as I tell her about it, You run into things even in your dreams? Sheesh!)

The story has made headline news here, POeter. Sgt. Russell is being lauded for having been a superb officer, and an all-around great guy. A devoted husband. And new father. :(

Okay! Here is an excellent photo taken of DD yesterday by one of her good friends who has some cool features on her Mac camera. 'Tis quite a likeness, and I suggested she submit it for her informal yearbook photo:

I'm sure I would freeze something off at that temp....and I wouldn't have to be flashing. Perhaps that's why my boobies have refused to grow.....preservation :ph34r:

exactly :rolleyes:

HOLY CRAP!!! Glad she's ok!

Trying to stay warm......Why do I live here???? :unsure:

Seeing an allergist, now. I don't tolerate much of anything these days. Haven't found any allergies yet except dust mites, so he took me off all grains (wasn't eating much anyways, but there goes my tortilla chips :( ) and beans. Things that dust mites could be habitating in. I don't think that's it. Next he wants me to try an organic diet.

$$$

So sorry to hear that Lisa. I'm limited in what I can eat and will probably be more limited after I see new GI next week. Let me know how the tests go. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can keep your chips and beans.

Dog Story Time

We've been giving dogs that come into our store some new treats to try out. The treat is Beef Sticks with Garlic. The dogs are loving them :) Yesterday we got stock in and Peter put the overstock on a lower peg of the rack that these treats go on. Trevor, who is pictured below, comes in with his human for a treat. Trevor has never been a problem and he gets to walk around the store while the owner and us talk sometimes. Trevor helped himself to the treats that you see in his mouth. These are the treats that we've been giving out. Trevor's owner couldn't get the treats out of his mouth. We let Trevor have the treats and I moved the overstock up so the other dogs wouldn't shoplift as well.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you
