I think you should do a poll here . . . Gab/Chat Room, of course.

Lisa!! Hope yer snot comin' down wif strep!! . . . lots of strep 'round here parts tho!! My neighbor's been home wif it. She works at the school and caught it there. I saw the school nurse yesterday. She lives in my neighborhood and I saw her pulling into her drive on my way to the grocery store so I stopped to say Hai. She was probably going through withdrawal cuz she sees me at the school a couple times a week. Anywho . . . she was on a rant about people sending their kids to school sick . . . also ranted about the person who did a food tasting at lunchtime on Wednesday. She gave specific instructions about the brand of corn chip to buy to serve the quacamole with so that Skeeter could have it. She's very protective of her allergy/intolerance/etc kids and making sure they get to try everything and are safe. :wub: Anywho . . . the person didn't buy the right chips . . . but Skeeter was out sick anyway.

Maybe a mouth to bowl tube? I'll get working on the specifics.

Cooper ( the dog) has strep. Apparently, with all the playing in the snough, he scraped under his chin. It then got infected. He has cream for it! But, fortunately, no barphage.

Excellent ideas. Can we make them self cleaning? Maybe a hose hook-up to rinse them out?

Infection migrating from the outside to the inside? :blink:

Or perhaps strep is on the outside......I guess it would be pretty tricky getting the cream down his throat :lol:

Like the little rinsy thing in the spit bowl at the dentist . . . although my dentist now has this suction phunnel that you spit into. Let's add some suction!!!

Strep is short for streptococcus which is a type of bacteria . . . <said in my I know how to google authoritative voice>

Oh my poor dear psillies. I go offline for three days and half or you are barfing and now there's a mutiny. I'm still hurting from the procedures but it seems like nothing compared by what all of you are going through. As for the standing while barfing - I'm a kneeler. But I hate barfing almost more than anything in the world (including childbirth without medication). Sending healing thoughts and cyber chicken soup for those of you who can handle it. I thought doing a cleanse on my birthday was the worst thing ever but I think all of you have suffered much more!!!!

I've Missed you all. PLEASE feel better soon!!!! wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Love & Hugs,

Loey

Hope it ain't strep, Leeeesargh!

I would rather work on an attachment to the toilet that raises the bowl, quickly, to, say, chest level. DH's nose won't clog, Shrooomie's knees would be saved..... . . . ..one could raise it up for easier cleaning. Though ill users would have to be certain to lower the bowl after barphing - - not such a good thing for anyone racing in with sudden bowel issues. Helluva thing, managing to climb up to a chest-high bowl.. . . . . ...

Hmmm. . . . . . ...may need some refining.. .. . . .. :rolleyes:

I remember, when a child, my neighbor barfing in the kitchen sink ( morning sickness for the whole pregnancy).

I like the adjustable toliet. Many uses. Low for a potty training 2 year old. The perfect height for a 5 footer or a 6 footer.

I was a kid, but still remember my aunt barphing in my grandma's kitchen sink--all the while running the garbage disposal. Gross! She was a nurse and still thought this was a brilliant idea. :blink:

Hows about a tubular force field between the mouth and the loo opening - no oversplash could penetrate it. All loos must be fitted with a button to operate such field.

I'm thinking something like the chairs that hair stylists use.

OK . . . obviously too much vomit talk.

I was perusing some of the other threads and instead of reading "Am I Barking up the Wrong Tree" . . . I read . . . you know where this is going . . . "Am I Barphing up the Wrong Tree" . . . and thought . . .they're probably standing when they barph up a tree . . . followed by . . . I hope they can put an arch on that barph or it's coming right back at them.

Didn't know there was a correct barphing tree :lol: Tell me which one to avoid :unsure: T'is certainly not a procedure I would recommend as having a high degree of accuracy, especially when you consider that the males with the penii can often not even meet the target accurately

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
