This made me laugh so hard apple juice almost came out of my nose . . . good thing I wasn't eating linguini!

He had a flat bum and a round little belly,

He was sleepy and sad, and feeling quite lame,

And I knew when I saw him it was gluten to blame!

Well, speaking of CHUCK.......

Open Original Shared Link

The book capitalizes on "mythical facts" that have been circulating on the Internet since 2005 that poke fun at Norris' tough-guy image and super-human abilities, the suit said.

It includes such humorous "facts" as "Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried" and "Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits," the suit said, as well as "Chuck Norris can charge a cell phone by rubbing it against his beard."

"Some of the 'facts' in the book are racist, lewd or portray Mr. Norris as engaged in illegal activities," the lawsuit alleges.

Oh my gawd! I can't believe you're still being harassed over this! This is lame. As you said, you briefly corrected, and replied to the post. No reason for anyone to get their panties in a twist. Wasn't argumentative at all, needlessly or not. Your posts are as helpful as anyone else's.

Tom, I emailed you :)

Everybody--I got glutened today at Starbucks :angry: It had to be there, as the reaction started at 2PM--exactly 2 hours after I left.....that's my like-clockwork reaction time. I only had tea, as usual, but she must have handled baked goods and then my tea bag/cup.

Anyway, I had a lot to do today, so I took some Immodium. Except for one (!) extra bathroom stop and WW3 going on in my intestines, I did pretty well.

Couldn't stomach anything but soup tonight, and am actually feeling better as the night goes on.

Boo, that sucks! :(:angry:

My new favourite when I'm sick is warm gingerale . . . quite soothing. But the diet stuff takes on a weird taste when heated so regular is better. That and frozen Pedialyte are my saviours when glutened. I hope you feel better ASAP -- and 100% by Christmas morning.

Good Morning, all!

Are you better Patti? I felt a slight glutening, myself, yesterday, and can't exactly trace the source. Odd...I wasn't even pulling any gluteny noodles out of my DD's nose...

I have something to report to you all...yesterday, as I was fighting my way through the mall, I glanced at the Santa sitting in his big chair, with a line-up of VERY last-minute kids in tow. I never really look at these guys, but for some reason I was transfixed on his face. It was quite...hairy.

Hat pulled way down...and although I never saw him stand up, he was REALLY big. Not speaking, just nodding, and shoving the kids off his lap rather quickly. He looked....drugged, or as if electricity had jolted through him. And whoever had measured this guy's inseam had fouled up MOST egregiously--pants were not nearly long enough.

His little elf helpers seemed a bit uneasy around him. Now, I just keep wondering...

Could it have been?.....

Good Morning Everyone!

Boy is it a dreary looking day outside. I know we need to get a lot of holiday shopping done today, laundry done as well, we both work tomorrow, as much as that sucks....I am with good company so it will be more of a day of fun than anything. I only work till 2:30.

Anyone else traveling for the holiday?

Merry Christmas Eve Eve . . . Sillies!!!

We are in lurvely Virginia. Not too bad of a drive. Wittnessed a (mild) fender bender in Wheeling, WV. Hubby gave the guy our name and address in case he had any problems with insurance or the other party or whatever (it looked like it would go smoothly - nobody was over-reacting). Anyway, turns out the guy lives about 5 miles from us . . . go figure.

Busy, busy getting ready so didn't post and then traveling so didn't post. Really enjoyed the Christmas rhymes. Alex, my son really likes your snowman and looked longingly outside at damp, dead grass - not a spec of snow here.

So I missed the Tom's post . . . Tom, you will have to PM me. Stuff like that drives me mad. If I was a cat, curiosity would have killed me nine times over.

Amanda - what a cutie Sabrina is and what lovely people your parents are.

What else have I forgotten . . . who knows? Need to dash, the action is starting. I'll be in and out over the next week.

Hey, did someboy call me a reindeer?

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one. We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes. We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott. In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend. We sent them information, with no response. I talked to...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for a significant amount of time. It's called the "gluten challenge".  Yes, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but also a stress trigger that is needed to activate the celiac genes. About 30-40% of the general population possesses the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develop celiac disease. For most with the potential, the triggering stress event doesn't happen. It can be many things but often it is a viral infection. Having said that, it is also the case that many, many people who eventually are diagnosed with celiac disease probably experienced the actual onset years before. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning that symptoms are largely missing or very minor and get overlooked until damage to the small bowel lining becomes advanced or they develop iron deficiency anemia or some other medical problem associated with celiac disease. Many, many are never diagnosed or are diagnosed later in life because they did not experience classic symptoms. And many physicians are only looking for classic symptoms. We now know that there are over 200 symptoms/medical problems associated with celiac disease but many docs are only looking for things like boating, gas, diarrhea. I certainly understand your concerns about not wanting to damage your body by taking on a gluten challenge. Your other option is to totally commit to gluten free eating and see if your symptoms improve. It can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining once going gluten free but usually people experience significant improvement well before then. If their is significant improvement in your symptoms when going seriously gluten free, then you likely have your answer. You would either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I attributed it to other things like bread spiking blood sugar- or to the things I ate *with* the bread or crackers etc   I went to a party in Nov and ate a LOT of a vegan roast made with vital wheat gluten- as well as stuffing, rolls and pie crust... and OMG I was so sick! the pain, the bloating, the gas, the nausea... I didn't think it would ever end (but it did) and I was ready to go the ER but it finally subsided.   I mentioned this to my endo and now she wants me to be tested for celiac after 2 weeks of being on gluten foods. She has kind of flip flopped on how much gluten I should eat, telling me that if the symptoms are severe I can stop. I am eating 2-3 thin slices of bread per day (or english muffins) and wow- it does make me feel awful. But not as bad as when I ate that massive amnt of vital wheat gluten. so I will continue on if I have to... but what bothers me is - if it IS celiac, it seems stupid for lack of a better word, to intentionally cause more damage to my body... but I am also worried, on the other hand, that this is not a long enough challenge to make the blood work results valid.   can you give me any insight into this please?   thank you

I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.
