Susie, I'm so glad you found that and reposted it, it's beautiful :wub:

Alex, it's your special day and you should make it what you want it to be.....2 in the bridal party or 16, casual and laid back or formal, it's your day!

:o gotta hold down the rewind button << a little longer :huh:

Emily started it off by recounting <no pun intended .. . . ..no really> the tale of her DH's running total, updated by email through the day w/ an astounding triple-digits by dinner and .. . . .how'd it go? :lol: "after dinner, all hell broke loose" ROFL :lol::lol::lol:

Her adding that the avg was 10-18 per day sealed it. How could we NOT launch Project Fart Chart?

Whaaaaaat?????? I take a few days "off" and come back to Fart Charts?! (I gotta go back and see what other good stuff I missed.) :lol:

Ezra has strep throat again... :( which would be why I'm up at 2am. <_<

A funny from last night:

You know how they say that after you've been married awhile, you start to take on each other's mannerisms, expressions, almost read each other's thoughts? Well... I guess this is how that comes out in us--

Brian and I were sitting in the living room after the kids went to bed, watching Everybody Loves Raymond... and suddenly out of nowhere, we let out simultaneous belches. He immediately held up his hand, and I high-fived him. B)

Good Morning, sillies. Hey, I got here before either of Emily or Amanda today. But Sarah was here even before me (welcome back). Yeah, you missed the phabulous phart phrequency exercise. :ph34r:

OMG Emily we were beat today!

Good Morning Sillies

It is a wind tunnel outside today, 60 mph winds and the temps are starting to fall, so by the end of the work day it will feel like 20 in stead of the 48 when I left the house.

Happy Hump Day!

Good Morning, Peter!!

Well, the bizarre weather has crept northward...DS and I were sitting at breakfast, looking at the snow falling out the patio door, and we suddenly saw a HUGE flash of lightning. I blinked, thinking it had to be imagined, but no, a loud rumble of thunder followed. Jack informs me that this rare atmospheric happening is known as "thundersnow". Never seen this before....

P.S.

six

:lol:

Oh, psilly pholks phart around. Most don't keep kount it is found.

3.

:lol::lol:

You gluten-free gentlemen are now low-octane. This is good...I await with bated breath the colossal change that may well take place in my DH's lower intestine, effective next week. :rolleyes:

surgery? what?! Well, Babs, nice to have you back. no sign of Richard. Now we are beyond worried, adn just plain......furious. Bev is going to give her famous Dutch Oven treatment later on tonight.

.....OMG...or the Machine Gun Manoveur... :o

Funny how one notices these things now.

Yes....my children know all about this hilarious development in Sillyville, and my son apparently took the story to school with him, and shared it with his classmates in circle time. Oh, Gawd....

"My mom knows these other celiacs, and talks to them on the internet. They are keeping count of their farts for 12 hours, and reporting their number to each other throughout the day". OMG OMG. I have a meeting there today at three. :ph34r::lol:

The Passive-Aggressive Act of Parting by Farting.

:lol::lol: Dunno if I'd actually break up with someone due to excessive flatulence, if that were the only concern. B.O.? Absolutely. Something MUCH worse about that, for some reason. :rolleyes:

Her adding that the avg was 10-18 per day sealed it. How could we NOT launch Project Fart Chart?

:lol::lol:

...astonishing double digits...!! :lol:

Susie, I'm so glad you found that and reposted it, it's beautiful :wub:

Susie, did you send it to a local paper? It should have been published as an obituary. Just beautiful.

... and suddenly out of nowhere, we let out simultaneous belches. He immediately held up his hand, and I high-fived him. B)

:lol::lol: You guys were meant to be...

Hey!! Do burps count in our Charting of Farts?

And Uncle ray says hi! Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army. On his first day in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair. On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth. On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years.

But wait. According to our recent Fart Chartage, we seem to have a deArth of flatus in our group. With the exception of nicola, of course, who doth Fart for England. :lol:

I mean, I"ve only had three today....and many days there are ZERO.

:D Yay!!!!!! A new silly!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's a short exam.....Emily? She proctors it......and yes, a smurf song will be required.

A dearth? I think NOT! Most of mine are doubles- sometimes even triples! They always smell like flowers! :P

So there's my 2 scents on the Fart Chart.

:lol:

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and my mind swirling with guest list issues. Ack. I want a wedding planner! It seems so much more real now that we set a date. Is it weird to only have a maid of honour and a best man and no others in the wedding party? So many things to figure out!

No No no - the MOST important thing is that you plan a wedding that's fun for YOU! If you have fun, everyone else will too!!!!!

No, but I think you can count on us to be the embarrassing drunk relative(s) that talk too loud and . . . fart.

Oh yeah....and i don't even need to be drunk!!!!!!!

Bev is going to give her famous Dutch Oven treatment later on tonight. :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol:

Happy Hump Day!

This always cracks me up!!! I imagine a man who was into frottaging (Open Original Shared Link) made that term up too! Yeah- I get to hump everyone on the bus on my way to work today because it's HUMP day!!!!!!!!!

But Bev.... Your avatar is FREAKING ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ph34r:

Ok- consider it gone!!!!!! Really- hit reload (Eemily will surely recognize this symbol of her esteemed country!)

I dropped her off at the vet and just wept on the 30-minute drive home, and composed this in my head:

Blood work $65

TumoUr removal $175

Dental cleaning $45

Anal gland expression (gads) $12

IV fluids $60

Biopsy of tumoUr $50

Tranquilizers/pain meds $50

Thyroid meds $60

Smiling, spiral-tail-wagging, lizard-stomping, howling-on-command, preternaturally happy and curious brown-eyed, Dingo-like yellow dog....my co-worker, my joy at the beach, sentry at the gate, constant companion, and silent, adoring witness to my life......priceless.

Thanks, sillies.............

Oh SusieQ- what a beautiful soul (you and her both!)

Thank Gawd, how horrendous to get your tongue stuck to your ski pole.

OF COURSE, non-alcoholic beverages are NOT recommended when temperatures are expected to be much below freezing for any length of time.

It is actually only GOOD for alcoholic drinks . . . :lol::lol::lol:

Bev - do you already have a set of these poles?

Sarah :lol::lol: simultaneous bleching + high fives = True Love :wub:

From the EM thread:

We haven't been demoted to the gab forum yet, so technically, you are not at all off topic! :lol:

Demoted!!!!! You make the gab forum sound like a place for degenerates and delinquents . . . oh . . . never mind.

Why, that was never my intention! I think the gab forum is a place for intellectuals

(who happen to count their farts).

:mellow:

:lol:

It's a good thing Jodi mentioned gluten. It might just buy us a little more time up here (as we snootily look down upon the already banished. ha ha ha ).

Just thought I would tattle on Mango . . . I don't know who she's kidding . . . she sooooo belongs here!!

Ridgewalker Contributor

Oooh fury! Dang it, poopy cow, etc, etc!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

One of Luke's teachers just called me and said that it's the other teacher's b-day, and can I bring Lucas some cookies so he doesn't feel left out? Sure but it woulda been great to know that like yesterday when I didn't have to take my other child to the doctor, and had a little time, and more than 1 hour of sleep!

And oh by the way, parents aren't encouraged to bring in treats on the KIDS' b-days.

What the hell! Now I gotta go bake. Luke is such a good kid, I know he'd be fine with just eating his regular snack, and you know what, that makes me even more determined to get the freaking cookies to him on time. :angry:

Sarah is not a happy camper.

Would you like to borrow the Yeti to help?

Last time I made cookies, I froze some of the dough so that I could have cookies on the spot in case of an emergency . . . then I proceded to make several trips a day to the freezer to eat the frozen cookie dough ( :wub: ) until it was all gone :ph34r: . . . seemed like a good idea :lol: Might actually work for someone who has willpower.

Actually, that would work for me. For chocolate chip cookies, we like the Bob's Red Mill mix... which is HEINOUS in the dough form. Only good once baked.

The first time I made them, I scooped up a spoonful of raw dough (as was my usual practice)... and had to run to the sink, spitting and hawking, etc. Not good.

I am not one of those with willpower....count me out of that category!

Perhaps so!!! Can he bake?! He could make pizza crust for dinner tonight too, and I can take a nap! -_-

From traveling to all our homes, our Yeti has picked up a lot of talent. He is very obiedient too. Boy I cant spell today.

Ahem...(clears throat)

Me-me-me-meeeeeee...

My bologna has a first name it's O-S-C-A-R, my bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R. Oh! I love to eat it every day and if you ask me why I'll say.'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!

I had to get that out of my system. I made my daughter a bologna sandwich this morning and that accursed jingle has been haunting me since! <_<

We've been having such fun on the gfp thread lately, and made such a crazy mess of it, that I thought it was time to move the silliness to it's own silly home. So come on in and join the silliness. Any topic is fair game. Laughter is the best medicine!

Does anybody else have a particularly annoying jingle stuck in their head? (Who let the dogs out?)

Matt'sMom Newbie

Thanks for the laughter :D . My son was diag. 1 wk. ago and it has been a roller coasted ride of emotions :( .

Welcome to the Board, things are always a little rough in the begining but it will all get better. If you ever have a question, need a laugh or just want to vent feel free. We all have been there and understand. You have stumbled into a greta support system :) We hope you stick around.

This is our Silly Thread, we are all a little looney, but I think that is what keeps up sane day to day. Hope you enjoy it.

Patti, are you ready for LOST tomorrow??

Richard, it's time to phone home!!!!

      That's what came immediately to my mind as well, Bell's palsy. And don't assume every medical problem is connected to her celiac disease as there is still something known as coincidence. Get this checked out by medical professionals and push for some serious testing. Don't let them brush you off. Be appropriately assertive.
    • Mnofsinger
      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      It's nice to see celiac-safe options out there for guest homes.

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.

      The fact is, we know very little about the mechanism of NCGS at this point. We know much more about celiac disease. Some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. And I do not agree with what you read about NCGS not producing any elevated antibody tests. IMO, and I have no scientific data to support this, it's just a hunch base on reading many, many forum contributor test result reports, elevated igg antibodies may signal a transition from NCGS to celiac disease.  But there are other things besides gluten that can cause elevated dgp igg and ttg igg antibody levels. So, yes. I would continue to monitor the situation if I were you and get regular testing. Not necessarily every 6 months but yearly anyway if you can. In the meantime, if you know gluten causes you unwellness, continue to avoid it.
