Annnnnnnnnnd BACK to ABSINTHE!!

I don't remember last time if anyone said it was legal again in the U.S..

A local distillery is making it now so naturally I'm contemplating getting a bottle and of course the requisite paints and canvases

P.S. Saw a great sentence in yesterday's Dilbert hehehehe

"I'm drowning & monkeys dressed as lifeguards are throwing me anvils"

GAHHH!!!! What does it mean when you are doing something totally unrelated to this board and it pops into your head how you should have worded a post!!??!!

This is what I meant to say:

Here's another serious question . . . are your symptoms for consuming dairy the same as gluten? how 'bout trace amounts?

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies!

I am so tired today and yes another dreary days ahead, one of those I can sleep forever days. Hubby is home sick. He went home early from work yesterday and now he didn't come in at all today. Says his stomach is bothering him.

[elye]

Morning, all!

Lotsa rain today.....what a winter!

I have read quite a bit about lactose intolerance (not casein), and what I have learned is that yes, the symptoms are similar: gas, bloating, pain.....

[blueeyedmanda]

You know what I think winter is never going to come this year....

what? who? where? What distillery? OMG, this is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will this so-called absinthe have phaeries? Or allow us to SEE the phaeries?

means we are truly mad.......and, I forgot to add Barracuda to the list of bad kissers - 'tis a step far beyond Darter Fish and could involve tonsil contact.

trace amounts of dairy - that did not affect me when I was dairy-intolerant, the first few months.....is this about your daughter? How is she doing?

What in hell am I doing up at 5 a.m., talking to you people?

back to bed for a bit more. 'Tis far too egregious an hour to be awake and communicating w/ people.

I think you have to drink the absinthe to "see" the phaeries.

Yes, this is about my trouble-maker . . . I'm doing everything I can to keep the dairy. I've got her on probiotics and I'm treating her as if she is lactose intolerant. No MSG. Really trying to cut the artificial dyes. Took her off of erythromycin (which I never thought she needed). She's on prevacid for acid reflux and it continues to "break through". I will be confessing to the GI today as we have an appointment. Cutting all dairy is my next step . . . praying that we get to add it back later is the step after that.

[DingoGirl]

Amanda, waiting for winter, did you say? Well then what was all this talk of heinous roads, driving on ice, snow......all of that. Was that imaginary? Were you lying to us?

Janet - the GI today - - oh I hope he has some brilliant idea for you....... I'm sorry your girl's still struggling......and yes, we MUST pray that dairy can re-enter her life!!!! It does happen.

I'm so sleep I don't even know what in hell I'm writing or saying.

Back to bed sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine are different. It affects my head mostly, I get very congested, sinus infections, head spacyness, and vertigo. I get some "gluten" symptoms too which are usually gastrointestinal, but not as much and not as severe. Trace amounts aren't bad as long as I don't do the trace amounts every day. I think that's why I can do small amounts of sheeps milk once a week. The two times I have knowingly had gluten, I got bad stabbing pains in my abdomin...didn't get that with dairy.

[nikki-uk]

How does one school or train a minnow????

I mean, if it doesn't come naturally is it worth it??

Hmmm, how long has she been gluten-free Janet??

Hubby also (as Susie) had the 'temporary' lactose (NOT Casein) intolerance about 6 months into going gluten-free.

He could tolerate butter and hard cheese so we knew it wasn't a casein thing.

(BTW - I believe sheeps milk products have less casein - feta cheese etc)

The slightest amount gave him worse symptoms than a 'glutening' (he is annoyingly mostly asymptomatic with gluten - it takes a build up for that to effect him)

Symptoms were really bad stomach pains and crashing headaches

Hope you work out what's wrong

Did Susie go back to bed??? 5AM!!!!!!! (unheard of )

Mad giver of fish kissing catergories that she is

EDIT!!!!!! Don't want to panic myself but I'm fast approaching 2000 posts..........should I get the mac & wellies out???

[blueeyedmanda]

I am a winter fan for skiing and watching it through the window...I do not driving on it. Snow is not too bad, ice forget about that....that is a death wish!

This warm weather for two days and then cold again is doing nothing but making us all sick...

[jerseyangel]

Yeah--it seems like an odd winter, although this is my first one in PA.

It could hit close to 70 tomorrow, I just heard!

I have a short sleeve shirt on today

I was hoping to wear a skirt tomorrow but I hear it is going to rain and that wont be any fun.

I am hoping to hit the slopes with Tammy this weekend! Another Saturday night run. Hopefully the weather doesnt take away all the snow...

Good luck today with the specialist, Janet. DS Jack told me shortly after he started gluten-free eating that it really wasn't a difficult way to eat. We were discussing other food intolerances and allergies, and his eyes suddenly widened in alarm as he said, "Oh! No WAY could I stop eating milky and creamy things!" Kids and milk....

But so many people can reintroduce it, so fingers crossed if that is the route you need to go!

Susie, I get exactly the same way when I'm sleepy. And hungry. And wistful. And angry. And attentive. And excited.......gahhhhhh....

Oh boy....Could be today, Nikki. Mac and wellies, and tarps....

I haven't been to this website yet, but I heard about it on a very sophisticated morning radio show I listen to.

www.funnyfartvideos.com

Apparently, there's one involving a priest that many find quite hilarious.

[blueeyedmanda]

I will have to watch that at home, it is something right up my alley though

[Mtndog]

Happy Belated Birthday Colleen!!!!!!!!!!!! Emily's Aquarius HORRORscope was quite enlightening but you need not worry as we will ALL be in that mental institution with you

How odd.....so let me get this straight...you rely on some ancient tradition where a beaveresque type animal forecasts the next 6 weeks weather??

:lol: Yes- these BEAVER type animals are great weather men (weatherpeople? weatheranimules?)

Tom- Nice emoticonage pyramid!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEVER smile in photos- grimace, snap with my teeth, growl, but NEVER smile

It seems that while I was MIA (really- no clue where I've been but suffice it to say I was FORCED to watch the entire Superbowl- gaaa! TORTURE!) SUSIE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN BED.

Do we know for a FACT that she was really sick?

Some funnies from me mum:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it?

i LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  DingoGirl said:

Okay.....today - - - my prescription - - - snuggle up w/ John and Lucky - - have some fun drinks - cosmos? Or how about champagne mixed w/ pomegranite juice? Have the cocktails and eat some yummy snacks and look at the GORGEOUS Tom Brady and.......try and pretend that no wretchedness exists in your life........and remember that all of this, too, shall pass.

WHY WHY WHY- why do my doctors not prescribe this? actually, I'd RATHER snuggle with Brett Favre! He's a handsome fella! Tom didn't work out so well on Sunday!

I'm SO behind but it seems as though while I was away Nikki got her COCKLES warmed :lol:

[elye]

Actually, while we're on the subject of dairy intolerances, I have a question to add to Janet's: Why is sensitivity/intolerance to gluten potentially life-threatening if not treated (cancers, malabsorption diseases, neurological affects), but lactose intolerance is not? I keep hearing how if one can toleratre the symptoms of LA, it's fine to consume dairy. They both involve an autoimmune response, correct? Bad antibodies floating about?

Hmmmmm.....very un-Silly of me. Should've started a new thread.....

That is very interesting--you should start a thread on it.

If an argument breaks out, I had nothing to do with it

Actually, I think that LI doesn't involve an immune response--it's an enzyme that's lacking to digest the dairy properly.

[jerseyangel]

Hi Bev!!!!

  nikki-uk said:

She's been gluten free for 10 months. Her blood test at the 6 month mark was excellent, couldn't ask for better. She was still having breakthrough acid reflux at that time so I didn't think it was cc. I started a thread (and got no answer to the question) asking if you were being cc'd (say on an every two-week basis) would it show up in a tTG reading.

But is lactose intolerance an autoimmune thing . . . I didn't think so . . . I thought you were missing an enzyme and the result of which causes a stomach ache/GI distress but doesn't particularly due damage . . . I may be totally wrong, that's just what I thought. And as far as a dairy intolerance . . . I think that's a different ballgame . . . Hmmmm, if only someone was going to be visiting a GI soon and could ask some of these questions.

Oh Yes, I know I started it . . . hope no one "reports" us for being serious on the silly thread.

Nikki, in order to prepare yourself, you may need to get yourself this Open Original Shared Link. (Make sure you scroll down to see some of the inside photos and adds).

Actually I'd like to point out that chronic inflammation anywhere is associated with an incresed risk of cancer. So if you eat dairy and it gives you intestinal troubles, you might want to assume that there is some associated inflammation with it.
