I have had FIVE glasses of chardonnay since 6 pm. Quite an evening. . . ..the first part of which was spent riveted to the big screen at my mom's retirement residence, in the fireside lounge, watching the Belmont Stakes. What a race! And what an audience...All of these ninety year-olds yelling and shouting, leaping up and down, rooting for their prospective horses, clutching their chests. . . . .. .gawd.. . . had my first three glasses there.. .. .

Annnnnd a couple o' glasses later, here I am.... . ...

Hmmm.. . . nothing to drunkenly add to the divorce discussion..... . . .think I would be very bad at it. I seem to do marriage well.....

Man, especially after all this wine... . . . . :lol:

Is there still wine? Or I am too late to the (?) party? It's been raining all day and I'm demoralized/restless as my plans had involved lots of garden time, which did not happen.

Woot! A soggy gardener has joined us! I've moved on to coffee and peanut butter cookies before heading out for a walk.

Sounds good! Coop & I will be right over. He prefers water.

Soggy gardener is now a soggy runner, who needs a shower followed by tea and cookies!

(my secret moniker... hmmm... dare I reveal the prosaic fact that was the e-mail assigned by my undergrad? I can remember it, and it's never taken as a username.)

Emily, btw, I love your dog pic. I grew up with standard poodles and am very fond of them.

Extra cookies for him? And no slippery floors?

How will he handle all the farms full of animals on the walk?

He ususally ignores them or wags his tail at other animals. He has been trying to be friends with the rabbits this week. He doesn't chase, just trots slowly with tail wagging - head down. Got excited when Foxy was in the yard- seemed to think she was a dog here to play.

Excellent. We'll be greeting llamas, chickens, a donkey or two, couple cows, some horses, lots of slugs, and a few dogs taking their owners out for a run.

Love seeing the runner dogs. At the beginning they're all excited and happy to be going out, and when you pass them again at the end of their run heads are down, paws dragging, they keep glancing up at dad with that "you can't be serious" look as they try to calculate how much farther it is to home.

Flash mob was more like a flash 'group' :rolleyes: , but that's OK. It was fun. We continued to dance throughout the afternoon for 3 hours. Only problem was that we were directly under a skylight. Lots of sweaty bodys. Nothing like being spun around, hair flying, only to have it come back into your own face with someone elses sweat on it <_<

Hey! Great workout, Leeeesargh! Something you love to do, and your heart rate's way up - - superb. What a fun way to exchange sweat!

All right, sb2178.. . . . ...the unofficial edict around here is that we need your real name, or a close proximity, so that we can rightly butcher it and make it psilly. Kherrighnne, Jyaghnutt, Jyesssss, Low, leeeesargh, Gnick, Soooooozle, etc.

Suppose we could just sillify your forum name, but it somehow isn't quite as funny.

Nope. Need yer real name.. . ...

I used to use my bra size, but through the years I kept having to change it, so I gave up on that approach. . . .....as I recall, twenty years ago I was known as 34dd... . . ..after both my kids were born I had to change it to 36c.. . . ....crap, I HATE my password now that I'm into my forties. <_<

Dear gawd, would LOVE this. Big poodles just go. And go. And go. I run, they run. I keep running. They're running. I finish 5k. Their look is more, "you can't be serious -- that's it??"

Hmmmmmmm........I'm not so sure about that. I can still understand her.

:lol: Yes...I was hoping for a few drunken Jyessss postings.. .. . .

This is so true! We also need a name for Glutenfreemanna. If they do not care to share a first name choice, I, the Psilly Queen, will be happy to bestow names upon them.

Taking suggestions....

I'm assuming both are females so:

Eunice

Moon Unit

Gaga

Wido

Latrine

So true. Although, when babysitting kids of people with large energetic dogs, it was always helpful hearing that they'd had the dog out for a 10 mile run!

One of these days I'll challenge my keyboard hogging cat with a running dog... She'd have no problem keeping a pup in line.

How magnanimous of you to make suggestions. If you must have a name besides Manna, y'all can call me Irene. Will that one be sufficient butchering material? :D

I'm sure they can. Have you seen the ways they mangle "Karen"?

I though perhaps your name was pronounced differently than the standard "Karen". With the g added I had made it "Car-Eng-Gee" said really fast in my mind. :lol:

      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

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
