Tom wrote Home Despot, and I snorted, did anyone notice *snort* (DESPOT, not my snort)

SHROOMIE !!! how are you FEELING ?????

Was really worried about so many people after the big storm, kept meaning to check in, had log-in problems for quite a while and gave up. Is EVERYONE OKAY ???? :(

last time I was here, Geoss was riding sailing around on a boat with some pirate. Looked like fun ;)

I have just done HOURS of yard work, hands and arms and lower back - now officially USELESS ;) but happily so....

Can we forget about that "coma" word for a while :rolleyes: ?? It's a place where strange things happen, where the mind goes nutz and creates its own stimulation (I wonder if that's why we dream?? - can't stand the boredom!) It's a place where spouses leave you to take up with your financial advisor, with you looking on; a place where spouse gambles away your retirement nest egg in the casino (again with you looking on but are powerless); where your housesitter emails you (complete with pictures) and tells you of another earthquake and your house is a total writeoff; and a place where the nursing staff boycotts you as a patient because you tried to prevent them from giving you another shot of Dilaudid so they could wheel you back into your cupboard for the night, but spouse calls our attorney who advised him that the San Francisco Examiner is just about to go to print and they love this stuff, so I become front page news and they lift the boycott. So life was not totally dull during that "c" word :lol:

As to feeling, I still have some, kinda soft and flabby feeling, no mussels in me butt for the 13-hour flight so was sitting on me bones :angry: - how quickly we fail......

Ghiannutt has been very undespot-like during her rain, err reign, in fact a very benign period has ensued since her crowning.

Methinks Jyess's pirate has become a bit of a landlubber, maybe looking for a secure mooring (or should that be docking??) :lol:

T'any rate, so good to have you back :):wub::):wub: (wasn't going to give you those before I knew you would be back :rolleyes: )

Something wrong, Em?? You look confused. :lol:

When my friend "K" was in a (medically induced) coma, she dreamed a certain doctor on the hospital staff was trying to murder her . . . and proceeded to be quite a difficult patient after she woke up as she was trying to run for her life.

So where are you guys going to live now that your house is condemned and hubby has squandered your money? I hope you've ditched that financial advisor of yours.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
