Jacquie, tie Peter up so he can't post for a while, at least until you poor folks get out of winter. You know what happens to phluid phloods in winter - ice!! Icy sewerage??? Yukkity!

It's a possibility that the smell is coming from the drain. I've noticed that we haven't tracked in any ice or snow for a while and the garage floor (and drain) is dry . . . which hasn't happened too often this winter so that may be why the smell is coming and going. I poured a couple of glasses of water down the drain to flush it and I'll see if I notice a difference in the strength of the smell in the morning.

But riddle me this, I don't believe this drain goes to the same kind of sewer line as say a terloit. Maybe something is dead in my drain.

I will inform you of my test results tomorrow. In the mean time . . . Peter, stay away from me!!

If something died in the drain it might not get flushed out with lines farther down being partly frozen, or partly empty from other areas being frozen. More likely, I think, is that the dry air has evaporated all the water in the trap that keeps the sewer smells contained (however far down that trap is) so your garage pipe probably does connect to the main sewer pipe, and the smell-protective-traps aren't working.

This happens at my work some times, except I get barraged with nasty chemical smells. Goes away when I pour in some water.

She stuffed him into my can and is making me sit on the lid to keep him inside.

Hereabouts, any drain from within the building goes to the sanitary sewer. You don't know what somebody might let go of in the garage when nobody is looking. :ph34r:

Always make sure that the traps in all your drains have enough water. You don't want vapoUrs from down there to make their way up. :rolleyes:

It still smells . . . trying to decide if it smells as strong. Maybe Skeeter or Smackl hid some of their broccoli out in the garage somewhere . . . that always stinks when it goes bad.

Let's hope it can't get across the Equator, or the International Date Line!!. I hereby proclaim these boundaries to the phluid phlood. Of course for all the Yanks, I will proclaim the Canadian boarder as another boundary. That only leaves poor Em to run for the hills!!

All right, I need input as to whether or not this would qualify as phluid onslaught.... . . .you may be able to rest easy, pholks, as phluid indeed flowed here and caused a calamity, of sorts:

Last evening I heard a strange, rattling noise coming from the fridge. It got quite loud, and slowly abated (thank gawd) by the time we went to bed. Well, this morning the fridge wasn't working. I looked carefully inside, and a bag of milk that was sitting on the back of the upper shelf had been slowly leaking, and it was almost empty. It had run all down the back, into the freezer (which is on the bottom) and sat, pooling and freezing. So, the fridge had to be ripped apart by a $$$$$$$$ repairman this afternoon, and the fan and compressor chipped out of the ice milk. :angry:

Okay, so phlowing phluids happened here! Destructive, icy phluids! it's gotta count!

      Thanks for the reply.

      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.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
