Hi Sills.......no one answered my Homeland question, so I guess I am alone in this CRACK addiction?? dear gawd....

and now when I click on the smileys they do NOT COME UP.....ARRRRGH what has happened to this forum since I LEFT ????

Hi Suzie - you are not alone in the Homeland Addiction -- my hubby and I are Hooked! Had a hard time getting into it last year mid-season so we caught up with the marathon weekend they had before the new season started -- you will never guess what's coming -- no worries I won't post any spoilers -- at least not unless the fog rolls in ;)

No smileys :( Karen has an iPad and I think she figured out the problem or may be just typing emotions:

: ) :)

: ( :(

: D :D

; ) ;)

don't know how to type :blink: or :ph34r: or B) or :P or :wub: but maybe Karen can help :)

:lol::lol: Phorgot about this.. . .must remind The Ripper of this postulation of his. He's now 15 and may roll his eyes and fail to see the side-splitting humoUr in it......or not.

:rolleyes:

Dyin' to hear! I sure hope his expression is representable via some combo of our current smilies.

I remember that pic . . . that was Arizona, right? Sorry to hear about Metta :(

Yep, that's in Scottsdale, at one of several valley AND statewide locations of Picazzo's, serving by far the FIRST gluten-free commercial-establishment pizza I'd been w/in sniffing distance of. (argh Em! 'of which I'd been w/in sniffdist'? <aka to dangle or not to dangle?>)

Now if only I can find a place using goat mozz & organic tomato sauce too.

Hi Sills.......no one answered my Homeland question, so I guess I am alone in this CRACK addiction?? dear gawd....

No smileys on iPad any longer. :angry: I sometimes use the PC so I can get them all. Or I have to do the : and ). Horrible fall-out from the Great Upgrade of 2012.

Absolument!! Sixty-four specially invited guests all born on his birth date, with 64 (smallish) cakes all lined up in eight rows of eight!!!

So Chuck is, as am I , a scorpio... . . . ..this fits. Weird, pensive, But apparently we are rulers of the sexual organs... ... . .((((shudder)))). ... :unsure: ...not so sure about that one. . ..

From a fairly detailed astrological site:

Scorpio is the Sign of Sex and Death, the beginning and ending of things, and they explore these ideas from an emotional standpoint. People born under this Sign are investigative and probing, often strongly intuitive and penetrating. As the eighth Sign, Scorpio also rules the eighth House: the House of Sex.

Wow, The House of Sex.

Where IS this house??. .. ....

:lol:

.. . .. Trying to picture it.. . . .. ....does it have a porch?.. . ....what are the property taxes on it?..... . .. .. ...square footage?.. . . ..

Congratulations to the Vincent Family!

You guys may all be in testing as we speak. . ....Good luck!! :)

OMG!!!!! :o SILLIES....some evil person in Conn. charged $1600 to Lufthansa airlines - - did it today, thank GOD i looked - charges had not gone through and I am being issued a new card....

Gawd.. . . ...what kind of scum does this? :angry: But you got it in time, Sooozle. . ... :relievedphace:

Brown little thing, it moved fast. I thought i got it with my english textbook (it was the only thing handy) so i dropped it on it then jumped on it. Stupid carpet. It then disappered under the couch :blink: pulled the couch out and spotted it (couldn't get back in there) so i ran got the viniger windex and it escaped. -sigh-

I like spiders.. . . ..don't ever kill them unless they're on my bed with me or about to crawl into something I'm cooking. They're so ugly, they're beautiful somehow....

Hey, sometimes it just makes sense to dangle.. . . ..ya gotta do what feels right at the moment....

Sounds like if one is a scorpio, however, one is dangling a lot more than one should, in fact.. . .. . ..

I was friends with Metta off board too. She had been ill for quite some time. I apologize, guys, under normal circumstances I would have sent an email to let you all know. She was a sweet person who would do and did anything for her family, called it like it was, and fought bravely. I miss her.

Did not have the pleasure of knowing her. I believe I joined after she stopped writing. My heart and prayers go to all of you and her family who knew and cherished her. I wish I had known her. She sounds like a bright and shining star.

      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
