Sooo......you'll be putting the shorts on the dog so they are properly modeled for the camera....? :unsure:

Here is Cooper modelling the shorts. After the second pair he refused to continue. Some nonsense about no proper hole for his tail. :D

UGH! back from the best weekend I've had in a veeeeeeeery long time and now I'm in full denial that I'm throwing a partay at my house this weekend. Annnnnnd the inlaws are coming to stay. At least I'll have my dd back. She's been 400 miles away with said inlaws having the time of her life. I told her she's going to get super constipated and scream and cry the next time she has to take a poo, but go ahead and have another flippin soda, some more candy and go to bed at midnight. Hope the MIL can handle what's gonna happen :rolleyes: Bad enough that the day we dropped her off we fed her lunch at 1230 and they didn't feed her again until 830 that night. Seriously?? She was crying bc her stomach hurt so bad. I told the MIL that the kids normally eat every 3 hours or so and I always keep snacks with me. I think she learned her lesson on that one! On the bright side, I've been having a wonderful time with Max, trying to make up for the fact that his sister is away having all the fun and he's stuck here with me, except I still make him eat healthy food with a milkshake or icecream bar thrown in there once a day :P Tonight I make 3 different kinds of cookie dough AND a cherry ameretto cake for him to try ;)

I do wish I had a picture of yesterday though.... He went rollerskating and he can't skate worth beans, so they have these little walkers for them to use. Soooooo cute and funny! :lol:

Getting really scared here. It appears we're right in the path of Irene (I may just have to change my name after this storm!). They are comparing this storm to Katrina, eek! My city just issued mandatory evacuations for everyone in low lying areas. we just moved here and I can't figure out if I'm in a low lying area from the storm surge maps. My area is in the "unstudied" part of the map. Hubby has to work on friday and is on call on Saturady so we can't leave the area. Might be going to a shelter or hotel though. I will try to keep y'all updated but if I don't either we went to a shelter or lost power. Prayers appreciated please.

Oh no, Non-hurricane Irene ( your new name)! Pack up enough of your food for a week and then some. Good luck!

Could go to the in-laws. Take a trailer full of essentials to share!

LOL! I'd rather ride out the storm! I'm well stocked on food and water. Couldn't get the batteries I needed though so we will be using candles if the power goes out at night.

LOL! I wish I could sleep, but I can't sleep when it storms for some reason. I love to watch it rain but I just can't go to sleep. Guess I will have to use that as an excuse to cuddle with hubby. :D

A piece of the fence must have been knocked down during the earthquake last week. I have gotten M to fix it so you Psillies cannot escape to other threads! Just need to get you all back in the yard. Here Psillies! Vodka & wine! Martinis! That's a good Psilly. ;)

All right, we're all corralled back in here.

Now...... . . . ...anyone want to conduct a poll?

I think hijacking another thread is like flash dancing.

1. Frequently

2. Rarely

3. Never, ever, under no circumstances

4. I hate polls; why did you ask this question??

Trying to post some lovely cocktails but I think the iPad has drunk them. Weird things are happening, now. The forum is shrinking and stretching . May have to wait for it to sleep it off.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      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.
