Best I don't ever taste the North American PB (I'm sure it would be like Angels copulating on the tongue) unless I get a tapeworm :lol:

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

*nervous laugh* ...ahem........

*sigh* BEV -----I 've told you before I'm not prepared to put up with your flatulance (GAD!! That room would be one BIG Dutch Oven :rolleyes: )

...Short word on PB.... :blink: ...tis ok on toast..but can't go mad about it....maybe yours is different to mine

:lol: dutch oven

Yes on Cava and peanut butter.....no on marmite...... :P

Oh Nicola - no good pb? so.....I'll send wer-ste-shire to Emily and peanut butter to Nik -

Susie, this is one horror movie-type setting. I could just hear the swelling music as you set foot outside, into this thick silence. You are so un-stepfordish...how on earth do you manage there?!

Indeed, how DO I manage........*sigh* Well, I think I manage because it's just about the cutest and coziest NEW house (I prefer old) imaginable. So...I just lay low here, pray that there are no pop-ins, and keep my pot and pan banging restricted to the midnight hour :P

Do you think these people are really serious!? I felt so much better when I got rid of mine ... the color came back in my face even .... I don't look so gaunt ... I think two of the pounds were in my cheeks, the other three are in my other cheeks. :P

:o:o

OMG - is she SERIOUS? Carla - I thought you were kidding - did you really have a tapeworm?

Yes - I, too, want one - just don't want to know about it, think about it, or see it.....

Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

Amanda! Go snuggle in bed wtih Lucky, and feel better soon!

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

*snort*

I know - we are mad!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

OMG - someone needs to come live with me and take away the sugar products....I am slightly out-of-control..........

It was foggy - and the fog throws a thick, viscous blanket of muffled stillness over everything it touches, so I was practically SMACKED with the drear quiet when I walked out front.

I waited......waited........nothing. :huh:

Pure silence.

Lights out, everywhere.

So finally........maybe at about 12:01, a full 60 seconds into the New Year, I just started banging things into the black, shrouded stillness of the Stepford night, a screeching, jarring cacophony into the sterile and controlled environs of this Ridiculous White Enclave.............

Susie, I would love to read those reports that you type for the prisoners . . . you are allowed a bit of poetic license, aren't you?

Check out www.tapewormdiet.net.

All of you wishing for a tapeworm . . . you did check out Carla's website, right? You want to make sure you get a safe tapeworm. And did you read the caption on one of the photos . . . that particular slaughterhouse was too clean . . . only a 1% infection rate. You'll need to find a nasty slaughterhouse.

Amanda, hope you feel well, soon!

Actually, I am certain that tapeworms are NOT a funny thing to have, and I did hesitate to make a joke of them...(but then went ahead... :rolleyes:<_< ). I cannot imagine a large worm residing in my body, and knowing that it's there, and waiting for the treatment to take affect. Gahhh....very un-Silly...!

Yeah, I think upon reflection that I'd take the extra ten...

Oh, no, I do still think it's funny! And, I didn't know I had it when I started taking the herbs, it was quite the shock when I saw it! Very, very shocking!

In fact, after I got rid of it I said, "Boy, that was stupid, if I knew I had a tapeworm, I most certainly would have waited until after the holidays to get rid of it!" :lol:

OMG - is she SERIOUS? Carla - I thought you were kidding - did you really have a tapeworm?

Oh, yes, quite serious .... I guess it explains my inability to gain weight when I have a low thyroid! Just be sure you eat your steaks cooked .... I tended to like mine on the rare side .... bad idea.

Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

The man flu cometh, creeping across the Atlantic with stealth and speed....BEWARE!!!!!

My sympathies Amanda :( ....I feel really rough today (terrible cough) and look EVEN worse.

Lucky for me my eldest son works for a pharmaceutical company and gets non prescription drugs dirt cheap....so phoned him with my order of cough syrups, lemsip (cold powders) and paracetomol

Like Milton's revered "Darkness visible"...

You wax poetic, Nikki!! <_<:D

I did :blink: ...... :lol:

So, Nikki, are you a marmite eater? It is available here, but expensive and not very popular. I saw it everywhere over there. Quite salty...seems like spreadable yeast... :huh:

*standing up*....I AM a Marmite eater and PROUD!!!!!!!!!! (Tis gluten-free too)

Dear god, an aquired taste indeed - Love it or Hate it - Mums in the UK were encouraged to wean their babies onto Marmite and toast in the 70's as the marmite has high levels of B vitamins - LOVED it ever since :D

The Aussies have something similar called 'Vegemite'....not quite as potent

Yeah, I think upon reflection that I'd take the extra ten...

Is that sober reflection Emily??? :P

..but yes, take the extra ten (maybe 15...well :unsure: ...20) we SHALL!!!

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

OMG - someone needs to come live with me and take away the sugar products....I am slightly out-of-control..........

I am SO not the person for this job as unfortunately if I lived with you it would rapidly descend into a somewhat drunken, squalid, obese affair ;)

Ha--I was thinking the same thing! Can you imagine the three of us????? :lol:

The evil sugar draws me like a moth to a flame :lol::P<_< I think instead of keeping each other away from it, we'd join forces and decend into (as Nikki so succintly put it) a drunken, squalid, and certainly obese abyss. B)

It appears that Lisa has come and got her "fix". . . and left us a little video. Now doesn't that make the whole thing look more . . . um . . . glamoUrous? Is this where ALL the celebrities get their tapeworms?

I have my Carla & Janet av up . . . just to show you I've got one, too. I think Carla's pic is better . . . hmmm, I think her hubby is showing preferential treatment. I'm not going to leave it up too long. People will start asking me about my Lyme disease and tapeworm and instead of telling them I'm not Carla, I'm likely to just make stuff up.

As a random bit of info, there are groups investigating whether infecting someone that has IBS/IBD/Crohn's with intestinal parasites could convince the gut to convert from the autoimmune response (that's causing symptoms) to a parasitic response.

Wonder how many 'normal' volunteers they get for those studies... <insert green guy emoticon>

Ick, tapeworms. I think I would have to be sedated if I knew I had worms in me. Nothing quite gets to me like the thought of parasites. In grade 2 my best friend had lice and I made my parents check my hair like every hour and washed my hair with Nix even though I had been assured that I didn't have lice. Creatures living on and or in a human just makes my skin crawl.

I could use some creative input if anyone is so inclined. This morning I was putting away the couple of ceramic Christmas houses that I have and horror of horrors I tripped and dropped the house that my mom had made about 20 years ago. After many tears and cheering up from my fiance, I am determined to make something special with the pieces of ceramic. Any ideas?

Alex, sorry about the house .... sorry, no ideas. Are they flat pieces? What about a mosaic?

Every time I saw a piece of the tapeworm I felt nauseous for a couple hours. It was gross. I actually think I need to do another treatment, but the product I use wants you to take a 90 day break between 30 day treatments so you don't build resistance.

Sorry that happened :(

I do have an idea--make a picture frame ("tile" an inexpensive, wide frame randomly with the broken pieces) and put a nice picture of your mom in it :)

OMG - have to go to camera store soon - - will claim that I don't know from whence camera was purchased (costco, december 2006)....my goal is to fix up, look as cute-ish as possible, and then gently flirt - - see if one a' them camera guys can see what's wrong...........

ALEX!!!!!!! :( I am so sorry about yoru broken ceramics. What a heartbreak.

Just google McKenzie Childs (Nik will know!) and look at what they do with their broken pottery. Seems to me the large picture frames were nice......good gawd, there's SO much you can do.......I've got tons of ideas and have done TONS of things........

Mosaic picture frame . . . lots of plane wood frames at places like JoAnn's or Michael's . . . then put a picture of you and your mom in it. OK, that's kind of sentimental . . . you're not starting to cry, are you? <heehee, post New Year's Eve button pushing . . .>

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
