Are we talking about puke, still? If your talking about BIRFdays.........only the ones he remembers...........seriously can't ever remember him barfing :rolleyes:

Safety Dance!!

I remember this!

I must confess that lately it's become a serious issue with me and dancing.........I have a STRONG urge to dance every time I hear good music.....no matter where I am. The morning announcements at school always begin with an intro of salsa music.........it's killing me!

I do occassionally break loose and then the kids are like this....

:huh::huh::unsure::blink::ph34r::huh::rolleyes:

....do you suppose they had festering codpieces??? :unsure: ........ looked like the right era :lol:

:lol: :lol: oh well .. . .game over I guess - I haven't even heard of but 2 of those!!

What about cows and pigs?? I don't ever see them blowing chow . . . OK maybe cows vomit . . . just the little bit into their mouths, right?? . . . isn't that what "chewing their cud" is??

Exactamundo!

Funny you should bring up cows chewing their cud.....

Cows and rabbits are similar in that they both have a fermentation chamber with microorganisms that digest otherwise indigestible plant material and convert it to nutrients. Some of the rabbit microorganisms are different from those in cows, but many of them are the same or similar (McBee 1971). Both cows and rabbits also have a mechanism to pass the contents of their fermentation chamber back to the mouth and then on through the digestive tract.

The difference, though, is that cows cud is undigested stomach material........rabbits cud has already become poop!

Eeeewwwwww, Bunnnnieeeeee!!! :o

My deaf student just got a cat yesterday........it slept on her head last night :wub:

Two days ago...when they went to look at it.....it was 4 yrs old. Today it is 7 months :unsure: She doesn't always hear information correctly, I think, so don't know which is right. Her name is Ella. This is good, because she wanted to call her Gabriella, which when she says it, sounds like 'Gal-li-lel-la' :P

Sillies.......am a bit insomniatic......now watching Conan. I have done significant work on the Tika Shrine, :lol: photos are up of the work-in-progress on facebook, Gail's ex-husband has already made fun of it over there....anyway, it's a shimmering gold-washed green adn I am in love with it, though here in these parts, you don't see too many religious shrines/alcoves

:lol:

hence my great amusement with it.

Suezeigh . . . very sad to visit the shelters :( but you are right to wait for a connection . . . it is (for people like us) a life-long committment!!! I think if you get a kitty that is black then it should have Angus in it's name . . . Angus Jett or Mrs. Angus Jenkins.

:lol: Capitol idea!!!!!!

And if its brown, it should be named Samantha Or, as I like to call her, puppy girl.

You'll find just the right one, Susie.

:wub: would it be weird to call my cat Puppy Girl? :lol:

Sophie wants to do her high school volunteer hours at the Humane Society....she wants me to do some dog-walking shifts with her. I just dunno if I can handle it, honestly. . . . . . .. :(

:( this would KILL me........absolutely. To look at their eyes as you put them BACK into the cages....... gawd......

I remember this!

As FORMER queen, I would like to proclaim The Safety Dance the OFFICIAL Dance of Sillyville, now and forever more. Could Amanda okay this?

Good morning, Psillies!

Crap......the local transit union has voted down the city's last offer in the strike.....a very good offer, In my opinion, considering these economic times. Our city is really struggling with no buses on the road....citizens being held hostage, really.....

Enuff political fodder!

I must go and check Tika's shrine. . . .. :wub: Soooozie, it must be the absolute TALK of Stepford. . . . ..

Nothing wrong with that. I had a cat named Ivan, whom I adored. I got him when he was only 4 weeks old from a shelter. He truly was my puppy cat. Followed me everywhere....helped in the gardens, liked to smell the flowers :) , rode in the wheelbarrow, loved to ride in the car (stretched across my shoulders so he could look out the window), climbed ladders to help me work on the roof, basically did everything with me at home. He was a kitteh who chose me.....what a godsend he was for me. Lived to be 19, and will always have a place in my heart.

This reminds of a story I used to love when I was little. Can't remember the point of the story, but it was called Puppycat.

"Now Puppycat was not a puppy, and Puppycat was not a cat, she was a Puppycat."

Hey Patti...Judy, too......sorry you are feeling a bit out of it all. You'll find your psilly.....probably wherever it was that you had it last. Then again....it's one of those things that moves about by itself when you misplace it, but I don't think that psillies can travel very far on their own power...can they? Geez....I hope not, anyway.

Annie was called Annie Cat Dog for the first year I had her.....she is very much like a cat in her movements and languid-ness and finding a sunny spot to stretch out in :)

Pteresuh - your Ivan :wub:

Suz--the right kitty fer you and the Weez is out there. Hoping you phind each other soon :)

We will find him/her when kitten season starts, in spring. Maybe even a bottle-fed kitteh - Weez saw one and was licking and lickign and LICKING it to death, frantic to mother it - she loved it

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.

      That's what came immediately to my mind as well, Bell's palsy. And don't assume every medical problem is connected to her celiac disease as there is still something known as coincidence. Get this checked out by medical professionals and push for some serious testing. Don't let them brush you off. Be appropriately assertive.
    • Mnofsinger
      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      It's nice to see celiac-safe options out there for guest homes.

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.
