Look who is living at my house! The Yeti!

He came with a note saying he had been in Nepal, living in the Himalayas. Says," makes random appearances around the foothills of Mt Everest and is the focus of many folkloric tales."

So far he has been quiet and polite.

Thanks, guys! Dinner out @ a very lovely gluten-free restaurant, then cake back here......got a couple of old friends coming over for drinks.. . . . .....

DH is in no doghouse -- he has dutifully remembered, and got me a high-tech heart-rate monitor. All good!

Dear gawd.. . . . ...a woman looking forward to a night of rectification?? .. . . ...... ..

Well, no need to be jealous. We watched baseball and then fell asleep as soon as we went upstairs. Ah well, I don't have a tv, so no world series for him tonight. :D

After months of being too sick to "rectify" I doubt that it will last long (tee-hee) and TMI?

No such thing as TMI here (I hope :ph34r: :ph34r: ). Did I tell you guys what.......oh...never mind..... :P

Lemme just say, Blue Eyes is all about the journey, not the destination....for him anyway. When I say we were up for hours, I mean literally.....

For us it depends on how long it's been between. I'm also 11 years older (it was called robbing the cradle when I met him but I guess I'm a cougar now) and have some female issues that can cause me pain. Just want to keep Clark satisfied as it's the least he deserves. We've been together for 22 years. I've had a lot of years of being satisfied so although the journey is still sweet the "rectification" can be painful for me and I'll never let him know that. Use cream, etc.

Glad to know TMI isn't an issue here. Could it also be related to Celiac? I do have a pfunny story about one time when it was impossible to get in .... we did giggle a lot. Perhaps I'm regressing and becoming a virgin again (although I sure don't look like Madonna)!

Ah... I remember when I first met Superman. He used to come home to my apartment to catch me before I left for work (I worked a 4-midnight shift at a TV Network in NYC). Superman is 11 years younger but is feeling old now due to the stresses of new job and paying for college. He still hasn't hit 50 yet.

I find Open Original Shared Link to be really useful in keeping things.....active.

Don't think it's Celiac related....from personal experience I'm thinking menopause/perimenopause? Since I had me hysters removed, I've resorted to using a little cream--make things go much more smoothly :ph34r:

Good gawd.....

They always say women outlive men so we should marry a younger man. I bet he didn't expect all my health issues when we first got married. I am making him a yummy spanish diner tonight.

Hee! The better half had Mexican last night at a business thing while I was here trying to burn the place down.....I'm making spaghetti with peppers and sausage--I've been on a pasta kick lately.

My ex is almost 10 years younger than I am.....and didn't appear to be interested in learning any skills. This whole thing is quite the adventure for me. BE will start a sentence with "how often do you like..." and I'll answer "Dude! I'm used to 10 minutes twice a month. You're gonna have to help me figure out 'how often'". He seems to think that's a fine idea. :P

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
    • RMJ
      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
