Will the catastrophe happen within 24 hours?

Maybe I'll take the wine & sit in a dry bath tub. That should be safe, right?

It may not even happen to you--the ensuing event has been known to cross-psillie. You want to be alert, but it could hit any one of us instead.

I'm keeping my head down, but a group of about 1000 G20 protesters are clashing with over 100 police in riot gear about five miles south of here. The are also reports of a possible major gas leak at the same location with fire crews responding.

The G20 Summit is here in TO this weekend. The main venue is the Convention Centre downtown, about 6.5 miles south of my store. There are about 19,000 police and military security between this location and the G8 meeting (in progress now) in Huntsville, about 135 miles north of the city.

Various nutheads always show up to protest. ;)

Little issue with the cells stored in liquid nitrogen. Vials started exploding while my tech was putting new vials away. I recognized the sound and ran into the hall to find my tech hiding behind the door gesturing aimlessly with her mouth and eyes wide open. Vials still shooting out of the box.

I ran over and put the lid on the box both laughing and screaming at the same time while the secretary stood down the hall screaming OH OH OH. Managed to get the lid on and the box back into the liquid nitrogen tank. I could hear more vials exploding, but they weren't going anywhere.

At lab meeting I presented my tech with bags of silver and gold 'medals' for bravery (chocolate), and a purple heart for injuries sustained in battle (a sad looking puppy wearing a purple heart necklace).

And you all thought science was dull....

Say, Queen Emily, about the earthquake... Somebody told me that is the fault of Quebec. ;)

I also heard that it was an unsuccessful attempt by Quebec to separate. :o

Things seem quiet on the G20 front at the moment. The protesters have returned to the park where they started their march and seem to be setting up camp for the night.

Tomorrow will be interesting as the G8 entourage move to Toronto for the G20 which begins with a dinner Saturday.

Obama arrived at Toronto's largest airport, Pearson Intl, at 10:30 this morning and switched from Air Force One to a Marine helicopter for the trip to Huntsville. I assume that the same method will bring him back to Toronto tomorrow, but nobody is saying where it will land. There is an airport on an island in the harbour where it could land. There are also some buildings where a rooftop landing would be possible.

Plan is for us to drive in together, and them for me to leave Jacquie to be bored to death mind the store, and I will come back and pick her up at closing.

I love Toronto. Was there about 2 years ago. Can picture all this. What a mess. But I see that commerce must go on ... Eaton Center will bravely remain open. Lovely Science Center, too. We had much scientific fun.

It's always the fault of Quebec :lol:

And what is this leaving Jacquie to her own devices, throwing her to the wolves so to speak, deserting a recovering patient....is this the action of a true gentleman? :o

Having nothing to do with the topic at hand: I just had PB all melty on toast. Yum! All my life, I would have a PB sandwich or on toast and feel bloated and blechy for hours after. I could eat small amounts of PB straight from the jar. Just thought all the fat or something made it hard to digest. Not anymore! It was the bread all along! :)

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
