Well, indeed.. .. . . ..I think the parliamentary powers that be are trying to get a load of food into her - - what a skinny thing she is.

And absolutely gorgeous. . . . . . . . ....the two of them make such a striking, conversation-stopping couple.. .... . . .

I wonder if DH and I have ever stopped conversation whilst entering a room?

* snort *

The amusing responses are limitless.. . . .. <_<

LO- have a nice nap. Might I suggest a lovely sterile bubble to reside in? You seem to be a germ magnet, my dear!

Nic- I wonder what would happen if she had to sit quietly for 1/2 hour? She would probably spend the quiet time planning some new feat of physical prowess!

New Princess - We saw something of the visit on the news last night. My hub pointed out that half the time the Prince wasn't in the shot & when he was, we weren't looking at him. He said be a Prince & Princess looks like it is a tough job (really, not joking).

I'm not sure I'd take her on even in daylight. Although Jyess did survive the encounter - BUT it was in a rather public place!!!

Hub and I have never stopped conversation when entering the room - more likely aroused it :o Now, conversation can be good or bad.......:P

.He said be a Prince & Princess looks like it is a tough job (really, not joking).

He got that right!!! Just imagine always having to put your best phace phorward at all times, the appropriate word or smile, the gracious gesture, no inappropriate parts showing, no equipment failures, My God, the list is endless. Not even chipped nail polish,,,,, :rolleyes: - I could nae survive it even if I did have a team helping me :D

Lo, rest up and get strong; we miss ya around these parts.

I am covered in bruises from helping a friend move furniture. Most from a fall off the moving van ramp whilst trying to push up a china cabinet. Fortunately my friend was able to keep the cabinet from falling on top of me, and we didn't even break any of the glass walls.

Today gonna go get concrete blocks to put around the new chicken coop. I need to learn to do things that involve easy things, like embroidery or sump'n.

That sounds great. I canna grow carrots here 'cause there are too many wild bunnies around, and they seem to be able to get into any type of metal covering I construct. They eat my flowers, too.

Absolutely adorable, but big pests.

.. . . . Wonder if Manna's in-laws could keep them away?. . . . .. . .

Cleaning the carpet. The oldest caught a stomach bug a few days ago and there

was spillage. Why can't an 18 year old, who is not drunk, make it 20 feet to the bathroom? On a happy note, it forced him to do a bit, only a bit, of cleaning of his room.

Next time he's sick, it's off to Manna's in- laws!

It sounds like these people are gonna come in handy. D'ya think I can get them to carry my chickens in to the coop for me? I haven't figured out the logistics of that part.

Try and get them to sleep out there, too. Perhaps somewhat more appealing than a bathtub.. . . . ..

I need to go to the pet food store to get more food for Bo, but to do that I need to unload the bricks from my truck, but to do that I need to shovel the rest of the sand out of my wheel barrow.

I had a brief (15 min) nap and a cup of coffee. Now I just need motivation.

The only thing slightly less pleasant than a bruised hip, is lying on that hip under a chicken coop while positioning 10 pound concrete blocks. Add to that 'while lying in nettles' and it pretty much adds up to something I don't care to do again. :blink:

Just send him to them AFTER they visit me please! The last thing I need is to be sick while moving or to have sick (and therefore twice as grumpy) IL's helping me move! Although, good luck trying to get them to take him in. We visited once while we were still dating and I came down with a bad cold---MIL caught it after we left and she told her son (My hubby now) that he better NEVER bring me there again... if I'm sick....

Yeah, she paused like she meant to say never bring me there again and then added the sick part. She said that's the sickest she's ever been. :rolleyes:

On the subject of not making it to the toilet despite being sober I have been there many a time I'm afraid. When my body decides to ahem :unsure: "toss cookies" I just toss them violently no mater where I am. I don't always make it to the toilet or trash. :blink: I hafta keep a bucket next to me when I'm really sick. Hope your son feels better soon!

      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
