I just cannot understand it.....here I am, Psillyville Kween, and there has been NO official invitation, as yet, to the royal wedding for me in the mail. Gads, they certainly take it right down to the wire! It is in two weeks, and I have to book a flight, get hotel reservations, arrange for someone to take over royal protocol in my absence.. ....rather inconsiderate of them, I must say.. .. . .....Can they not appreciate that I need time to make arrangemnts before I go overseas??

P'raps they're sending the plane and have a wing in the palace already set up for you.

Hi Lo! Sorry you are feeling poorly. If medical bills are piling up, Tony should talk to the financial aid office. They take a change in financial status into consideration.

I got the odd message. Thought I was special but everyone else got one, too. :o

I saw something about the royal wedding guest list being small. I think the queen only gets to invite 300 people. She may not be able to invite every ruler in the world. Perhaps they cannot supply gluten-free food & cake?

Ahhhh....right, then!! Makes good sense. Of course, that must be what is happening. :lol:

That might be the reason. . . . ...Gluten-free food is more expensive and there is the whole worry of cross-contamination. I suppose with a quota of only 300 guests, the celiacs lose priority fairly quickly.. . ...

"Right, then! King Fahad - - in. The Obamas -- in. Mandela -- mark him as in, and we shall see if he is still around by the end of the month.. . . .....Gadhaffi -- hmmm....just put a question mark for now.. .. . ...Wait, who is this?? Psillyville Monarch - - bah.. . . ...a very temporary placement -- only 100 pages -- AND she has trouble with gluten.. . . . ...out, for certain. . . . . .."

Hola. Busy bee here. And it just keeps getting busier! I think I just snagged my first wedding cake..... I just quoted the price, so we'll see how she likes that :unsure: I also got 2 birthday orders for May and a possible one for this month! Excited!! It's almost nil after Christmas but picks up in spring. Tis a good thing though, after the holiday stuff, I need a break!

Glad everyone seems to be well! Jess--You still with BE? Was thinking about you the other day!

Me too!!

Bunny is good. He thinks he's the boss, lol. So much personality, he's fun to watch. The kids have one of those Cranium Superforts that they've set up in the playroom and he runs in and out of it like an obstacle course for about an hour, then he climbs back into his hutch and passes out! :P

What a fun bun!

Just got back from hub's colonoscopy. The routine kind you have when you get old. It was good he had it. He had 2 polyps, one quite large. He named them Harvey & Fred. He now has a tattoo as they tattoo where they remove the polyps, just in case. :ph34r:

He was soooo tired after being up all night that he wouldn't wake up. He is upstairs sleeping.

Hiya, Jyaghnutt! What are youse guys reading?

He was soooo tired after being up all night that he wouldn't wake up. He is upstairs sleeping.

My DH is scheduled for this proceedure in a couple of weeks, as well, also as a routine. ... . . ...I assumed that I may not want to be sleeping with him the night before, if I want to get any sleep.....at least we have an ensuite bathroom, about an eight-foot walk from our bed.. .. . .:unsure:. . .. ...

Perhaps the wild excitement is abating a little and they are transitioning into the slippers and quiet walks phase. :P

:lol: :lol: Indeed, this is exactly what things gradually morph into. . . . ....slippers and quiet walks... . . ..

<_< <_< I'da thought it would take longer.

No point in going to his house dressed in a corset or sumpin' cause half the time he calls me on the way there to ask me to stop at the store. Must think of some fun way to return to the previous level of entertainment.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      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 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.
