Those are great! I actually had read that first article before. But, we're not talking in general ... we were talking specifically about me and my lack of smarts in looking at a picture you posted while eating .... so, what is your IQ anyway? Is it really 4 points higher than mine?

I don't think we want to take this to the arguing with one another thread, do we? ;)

A smart man (not to say that I am one) never argues with a woman. So you're right you are smarter than I. It was ignorant of me to post such things during the breakfast hour. (you eat awfully late by the way ;) )

Sure, lets! Or we can just keep arguing here ...

It was lunch. :) Leftover pasta and a chicken leg from the celiac meeting last night at Maggiano's.

Have you heard the story of what Adam said to God? Adam was commending God on how great Eve was, she was so soft, so nice, so pleasant to talk with, fun to be around, etc. Then Adam asked, "But why did you have to make her so stupid?" God answered, "So she would like you."

My wife isn't stupid, and she still married me - nah-nah-nah-nah!

hahaha I love it when people do the same thing over and over thinking it'll work this time around! :lol:

Random question for you all-

I'm going to be knitting myself a hat and want to knit a message into it. It'll be in Morse code so I'll be able to say anything I want. But I don't have any ideas; the hat I got the idea from said "I am stinky" :lol:

Any ideas?? I want it to be something that will make me smile/laugh every time I wear it :)

CarlaB Enthusiast

How about "Smile beautiful" It can be a secret message to yourself!

Or it can say "I have a crush on ____" ;)

I just went to a talk that was about high altitude sicknesses. He talked in detail about the medically relevant ones but also mentioned HAFE High Altitude Flatus Explosions. (Explosive farts at high altitude), so you could put AAFE (Any Altitude...)

My first thought was something Susan told me: Men are like busses, there's another one every five minutes :lol:

That's cute!

I couldn't sleep last night so I started swatching for this hat. For anyone that doesn't knit, swatching is the act of making a swatch. A swatch is a test piece of knitting that you're supposed to make so you can see the size of the stitches and drape of the fabric produced by using this yarn with those needles. Haven't found the right combination yet, and have no idea about colors either, but it's a start :)

Anybody else have smile worthy sayings I could use??

CarlaB Enthusiast

Well, my daughter says "boys are stupid"

ha ha ha ha - - that is TRUE for your age - - it was true for me until about age......42? maybe? not as true any more. And that is FINE with me...... ;)

Well, my daughter says "boys are stupid"

yes! that would be a good one for the hat. Also the any altitude farting thing....but people WILL ask you whta it says...... :blink:

hey, how about "Hey, Nonny, nonny" from this:

"Sigh no more ladies, sigh no more,

Men were deceivers ever,

One foot in sea and one on shore,

To one thing constant never.

Then sigh not so, but let them go,

And be you blithe.... and bonny,

Converting all your sounds of woe

Into hey nonny, nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more

Of dumps so dull and heavy,

The fraud of men was ever so,

Since summer first was leafy."

CarlaB Enthusiast

Oh, I should add, the one who says boys are stupid, is beautiful (of course :lol: ), is boy crazy, and is only 11!!!! She's a very wise girl, if you ask me!! She is also the ONLY one who can call her dad stupid (Dad, you're so stupid) and get away with it!!! :lol: She'll dress up really cute if she's going somewhere a cute boy is going to be ... really funny.

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
    • lalan45
      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.
