Well, I guess it was too late to tell you to run for the hills, because your fridge somehow :blink: anticipated this phlipover and the milk started leaking (from a bag??? izzat how it comes in Canada?) ahead of time, real sneaky like, and the repairman cost so many bucks you didn't even care what size his thumbs was :o

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!

Phlowing phrozen bovine phluid! :o

Hmm... from the Urban Dictionary (for dose not out dere on da streets) ;)

Drop a dime:

To snitch on someone. Often, to save their own ass. Comes from the old cost for a payphone call, ten cents.

To narc somebody out, like Huggy Bear always does on Starsky and Hutch.

Huggy Bear's always dropping a dime, I can't believe he's still alive.

To rat someone out. As in telling the police about a drug deal.

Imma drop a dime on these niggaz.

So if ya only drop a nickel, does someone drop a dime on you???

(from a bag??? izzat how it comes in Canada?)

Yes! Methinks Canada is the only country that offers this bit of packaging variety. We have the option of buying a big package of three litREs of milk that come in three separate bags. One places the bag in a special milk-bag-holding container, snips one corner of the bag to pour, and there we have it.

Quite lovely, until one of the *!#%#1* bags leaks down the back of yer fridge.

How do you close that up? If you had Mexican in the fridge or leftover cinnamon rolls, your milk would taste like that. :blink:

This is an interesting query. . . . .. . .:huh:. . ..For whatever the reason, that is NEVER a problem. I keep raw and cooked fish in the fridge, smelly, garlicy leftovers. .. . . ....never does our milk taste phunny. Perhaps sumfin' in the plastic.....:unsure:.. . . . . ..

So, it's a Commonwealth Milk Packaging System! Except... . . ..NZ apparently does not partake. . .. . ... . .I wonder if it was invented in the UK or over here? Probably across the pond - - we Canucks don't have many exciting claims to fame when talking about inventions.

Hi Psilles,

Just reading through all of the posts I've missed. Ever find out what died in your fridge (was it Em)?

Saw my back doctor today and he gave me trigger point shots. Guess what- it seems to have worked. I don't know how long they last but there's also another procedure that's longer lasting.

I swear I have a doctor appointment or lab test every day between now and the end of March. If it will make me feel well enough to take walks on the beaches in April I don't care!!!

Miss you all!

I was wondering about that stuff the other day. I'm not sure about the ingredients. Is it gluten-free? I'm thinking the gravy part might not be.

Maybe I could start some threads asking if odd foods are gluten-free. Chocolate covered ants? Marmite? Pork rinds?

Commercial plates of the stuff are definitely NOT gluten-free, but I know it can be made with cornstarch as the gravy thickener. OMG, I have partaken in a plate of poutine only three or four times in me life. .. . ...felt just horrid afterwards. . . . . ....fat......salt... . . ..more phat.... . . .. . ..

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would...

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting...

There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting. If the scab was scratched off, it would bleed and bleed until it scabbed up again. The skin has lost its pigment where the scabs are. I figured it was probably either the plant I had trimmed around the 15th or some reaction to the magnesium complex I was taking or an allergic reaction to the asthma meds I was on. I stopped the asthma meds and the magnesium. The rash seemed to get better but when I took the asthma meds it flared up again so I went to the urgent care as my doctor was unavailable. The UC doctor said it probably wasn't the meds and asked about my diet. I said I was strict keto. I usually am, but there is a story around this. I feel amazing on keto. When I eat sugar, wheat, and starchy veggies I feel horrible. Blood sugar goes up, IBS type symptoms, brain fog, etc. But I have a horrible addiction to carbs so I blow it sometimes and after Mom died in 2023, I fell off the wagon. No rashes, just weight gain. I finally went back on keto and then around that time had a piece of pizza (or so, it's hard to stop the carb rush.) So I was strict keto, off and on. She ignored that and prescribed some allergy meds. It didn't go away.  What was happening by then was that the rash was now on my upper elbows, both of them, on the back of my arms. It starts with a very itchy bump, spreads around it and sometimes just burns like crazy and other times just itches. Then it started on the sides of my knees on the oustide, a little bit down the sides of the calves. It's not as bad there as it is on my arms even though it comes and goes (and so does wheat in my diet.) I then got three tiny blisters on each hand, 3 on the insdie of my index finger on the right hand and 3 on the inside of middle finger of my left hand. There is still a little scab there even though it was two weeks ago. No more have appeared on the fingers. But right now the back of the arms above my elbows are starting to itch. At some point I started to think mites from the possum that was sneaking into our house but it's been 3 months and they would be dead already. It wouldn't be from humans because I don't go near any humans although I did take an Uber to the doctor and the bus back. Plus, it's symmetrical. It starts on one side and is almost identical on the other.  I did my DNA with Ancestry and MyHeritage. I don't have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. I do have HLA-DQ2.2. I took the blood test but it was negative. Then again, I don't eat wheat every day. I rarely eat it except for lately when I've been preparing for the blood test if I have to take it again. I don't like to. It makes my joints hurt, gives me brain fog, stomach problems, I sleep in the middle of the day, etc. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I hope that she will be more serious about this than the UC doctor was.  So I have no idea. With my luck they'll magically disappear before the doctor appointment. That's what happens with everything.
