A spreadsheet?

:lol: :lol: gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, a spreadsheet. A Phart Chart, to be more precise. I"ll talk to him about this, maybe we can merge the Phart Chart w/ the makeup statistics and.........anovars? Anovas? What in hell were they? - and this will make for some really riveting conversation and study. Oh, it has also occurred to me that we really should be keeping better track of Yeti - where in hell IS he now? - and perhaps a spreadsheet is in order for that, as well.

:lol:

<you can see I"m taking phrequent breaks from my heinous task> :ph34r:

You could chart your flatus with his, and see how things measure up. Are firefighters gassy individuals? I should think not....would be quite a hazard in a burning building, methinks. Yes, Susie, I think you should try a date with him. Why not? May be very good for you, and he probably won't know what hit him. :lol:

Blunted affect.....don't think I know too many people living with this. Blunted villi, well....... <_<:rolleyes:

Don't forget the butt sniffing

Always good advice :lol:

DONNA! You're looking more gorgeous in every av!!!!!!!!

I agree B)

Gawd :lol:

So much Saturday silliness! My intestines have quieted down for now (I know you're all on the edge of your toilet seats wondering about this :P )--I had mostly mashed potatoes for dinner--quite soothing.

Who said malfeasance? Was it Susie? I love that word :P

Good news, Patti. I actually was wondering.....Perhaps not quite on the edge of my seat, but thinking of you.. ;):)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

You are one nutty lady. I think that every time I read your thoughts, just every now and then, I am struck with it anew, and of course, hold deepest admiration for you. :lol:

Well, let's see.....is that like astrological compatibility, the phlatus charting? Must one's pharts be in alignment for a successphul relationship? :lol: But yes, I do agree - the phirephighter w/ phlatus is a phlagrant hazard for his duty, and surely an annoyance to his phellow crew. :lol:

Who said malfeasance? Was it Susie? I love that word :P

:lol: yes, it was I. I, too, love that word......and also malfeaSOR, the one who has conducted the malfeasance.

OMG - you did not see me here. :ph34r: But am happy to report, I am one-third of the way done w/ the vile carpet. Mygawd, some areas I have to go over SIX TIMES. :blink: It's been a while, I was waiting for Stinker to go and the rains to cease.

oh I miss kissing my black-nosed girl....... did you guys know I mainly like dogs w/ black noses and pointed ears? a freakish thing. I can't say why, but I nearly kidnapped dog-napped a German Shepherd today. :lol:

But I tell ya what, there is NOTHING more boring than shampooing the carpet.....I am a hostage.....I can't watch anything, read anything, listen to anything (though I do have my beloved Ipod on my head)......one is just held captive to this egregious chore, and left to one's Dingo thoughts in one's head.

So much Saturday silliness! My intestines have quieted down for now (I know you're all on the edge of your toilet seats wondering about this :P )--I had mostly mashed potatoes for dinner--quite soothing.

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. Mashed potatoes are so nice when you're not feeling well. We used to have a constant supply of mashed potatoes in our fridge to reheat that made up the bulk of most my meals. Not so much any more! Must stop myself from professing how good I'm feeling :unsure: for health and safety purposes.

Yesterday my brother reminded me of how our mom used to make us "hot jello" when we weren't feeling well. She would make jello but we would drink it hot instead of letting it cool and eating it. She would give it to us for colds, sore throats, stomachaches, dental issues, pretty much anything . . . a veritable panacea if you will. I highly recommend it for whatever ails you but I think it works better if someone else makes it for you instead of having to make it yourself. ;)

Susie--Yeah, I get some of my best thinking done while vaccuming! :D

Well, you know what they say--well begun is half done ;) Or I guess in your case, a third :lol:

This is so cute--my MIL used to do this for her kids, too. :D To this day, if I make Jello, and Mark's around, he likes to take a few spoonfuls of it while it's still hot and drink it.

:) that IS so cute!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps I can get a neighboUr.....maybe Stepford? - to make it for me. Instead of taking me to the Ethiopian restaurant, I"ll request the hot jello. ;)

the thinking whilst vacuuming....I just got off the phone w/ a friend, and told her, this is heinous, I am held hostage to my thoughts.......NO ONE would be able to endure this brain and its convoluted thoughts.....no one......hard to walk around and be with it all the time - and act normal :lol: :lol: :lol: [but truthfully - it's an entirely different place without the opioid peptide contaminating it :rolleyes: ]

What's happened????....did Amy get to you??? :o .....have you been.... :blink: .... bee-hived????

Just having hair issues, specifically "curly hair" hair issues, I thought I would go to the expert and ask her advice/suggestions.

Sniffing butts, heavy flirting, lots of biffing and chasing, licking, romping......oh, and Annie had a good time, too!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: (cracking self up)

:lol::lol::lol:

This had me bent over with side splitting chuckles, a good 300 calories worth.

Especially the sniffing butts part.

Here's an entry on a dog's New Years Resolution List:

"Take time from busy schedule to stop and smell the behinds." :lol:

And this Firefighter, you MUST go out with him!!!!!!!! Do it for all of us, do it for me!!!!! You only live once, and life is short, and all those other things that people say :lol: Why not? Can't hurt anything, besides he can be another entry in your dating adventures memoir!

I'm sad about my dad....anyone see the thread I started in testing/symptoms? It's so frustrating, my dad not easily able to start the gluten-free diet, due to his living situation.... :(

:( Emily, very frustrating indeed.

YES, we're waiting for you to come back to the cult for your review of PureLuxe!!!!

:lol: Did we chase away Susie from our cult?

My intestines have quieted down for now (I know you're all on the edge of your toilet seats wondering about this :P )--I had mostly mashed potatoes for dinner--quite soothing.

So sorry Patti about your intestinal woes :(

I'm glad you are feeling better, mashed potatoes always hit the spot :)

Hot jello, that brings back memories!

Well, let's see.....is that like astrological compatibility, the phlatus charting? Must one's pharts be in alignment for a successphul relationship?

Yes, yes! One could be charting one's phlatus (phlatii?) like the stars. Perhaps we have signs and can get a sense of personal traits through this charting....

Gad, there's no way I'm in alignment with DH.....his chart is way off the charts. :lol:

OMG - you did not see me here. :ph34r: But am happy to report, I am one-third of the way done w/ the vile carpet. Mygawd, some areas I have to go over SIX TIMES. :blink:

Susie!! Why don't you have hardwood? I cannot imagine life with dogs (or even without) in a home with even a smidgen of carpeting. Carpets are heinous! Wood floors you just sweep and damp-mop once a week.

Ahhhhh...but then, nowhere to scoot along with full anal glands... :lol:

oh I miss kissing my black-nosed girl....... did you guys know I mainly like dogs w/ black noses and pointed ears?

When Gus was a pup, he had a BEAUTIFUL, shiny black nose. I just loved it. I then noticed it began to change, gradually getting lighter until it settled on a rather sub-standard brown. <_< I often think I'll try to dye it back to its rich ebony hue.

Well, Susie, it's fine to mainly like dogs with black noses and pointed ears...but this doesn't extend to men.....does it? :blink:

Yesterday my brother reminded me of how our mom used to make us "hot jello" when we weren't feeling well. She would make jello but we would drink it hot instead of letting it cool and eating it.

I've never heard of this fascinating concoction. My mom used to slap mustard plasters on our chests when we weren't feeling well. HEINOUS.....

Boy I missed some silliness today. We got some errands done and my neighbors baby is very sick below us. SO I spent some time with her, the baby is supposed to spend the night at our place tomorrow night into Monday since she has to work unexpectantly, so we will just bring him with us to the hospital in the morning, his mom works as a nurse 3rd shift and will be getting off at 7:30.

We attempted to go to Outback for dinner tonnight, but the wait was 1 1/2 hrs :blink: there was no way I was waiting that long. We ended up at Red Robin in the end.

Such strange weather, we woke up to snow, and it melted during the day. We pulled into the parking lot at Red Robin and it was lightining....Soon it was downpouring... Tomorrow we are getting this artic blast with very very cold air. The wind child will be below zero....BRRRRRR!

Today we did find a duplex with both sides up for sale and a very cheap price! We are all going to look into it further. The monthly mortgage estimate is 400 bucks less than we pay in rent, it has a big yard so her doggies have room and a big driveway for all of us. Cute place too, each has 2 bedrooms and thats all we need right now.

So thats all my news for the day :):)

:lol: :lol: I was even cracking myself up over it. Easily amused, here. :lol:

and NO!!!!!!!!! you did NOT scare me away from the cult!!!!!!! I will be back, I tell you, I"LL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!! I actually need to read all y'all's reviews, am about to buy some new foundation/powder/minerals cr*p, need to know what to get.

:lol: hopefully ameliorated soon by the gluten-free (or is it gluten-lite?) diet.

Hardwood......yes, that is what we want, dearly. It was several thousand dollars, unless I lay it myself. <scary thought as requires mathS and measuring and cutting - gads> :angry: This house came w/ carpet, lovely caramel-coloUred carpet, and it has stayed that way. BOLLOCKS! :angry:

and yes, how DO they scoot on the hardwood? :lol:

Well, Susie, it's fine to mainly like dogs with black noses and pointed ears...but this doesn't extend to men.....does it? :blink:

:lol: :lol:

not insofar as I know.....but HEY! maybe THAT's THE TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mustard plasters? Hot jello? mygawd, my own mother is inept, I guess. :lol:

This sounds like a wonderful opportunity. Less per month, and you are investing in your future. Look into it carefully to be sure there are no hidden land mines, but if this is true, grab it.

Well, I guess I'm the only nay-sayer. I just don't like the sound of this:

Plus - he told he he gave his other lab to the POUND because it was destroying his yard...........OMG - many points knocked off for that.

Unless you are only using him for meaningless sex, I say stay away . . . the POUND no less, if he had said he had to find the dog a different home, I would have been all right with that, but NOT the POUND. :angry::(

oh I miss kissing my black-nosed girl....... did you guys know I mainly like dogs w/ black noses and pointed ears? a freakish thing. I can't say why, but I nearly kidnapped dog-napped a German Shepherd today. :lol:

I seem to pick out similar dogs also. Several people pointed out that Josie is the same size/shape that my Maggie Dog was . . . just a different coloUr. I go for long noses, long legs, skinny bellies (don't know how to describe that . . . kind of like that greyhound chest/belly profile), about 40 pounds and FEMALE!!!

WOW AMANDA!!! That's fast!!! Good Luck and my unsolicited advice is to make sure you get a home inspection.

Has anyone else noticed this? When I'm writing emails to other people and I need to use a word such as honoUR, I naturally want to spell it with the capital U. I'm sure the receiver would be wondering WTH I'm doing!!! :huh:

:( that was EXACTLY my thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And since I'm NOT into meaningless sex (mygawd, is there anything we haven't covered here? :ph34r::lol: ) what in hell's the point? Who would do that.....send their dog to the pound for bad behavior.......unfathomable. Many people would adopt a purebred Lab, digger or no...........and he separated the two siblings......:(

Well.....looking around, brow creased......Of course we're talking about simple, meaningless sex...aren't we? Why on earth would you ever even remotely consider a very attractive child/man with limited intellect, experience and wisdom, unless it were for simple sex? :rolleyes::lol: I would say demerit points for: heinous handling of the pup, and being a firefighter (the few I know are maddeningly self-centred and work 24 hour shifts followed by four days off, so it's see-him-non-stop-for-days, then-nothing-for ages). So just sex, then see ya later, or nuttin' at all. ;):lol:

I go for long noses, long legs, skinny bellies (don't know how to describe that . . . kind of like that greyhound chest/belly profile), about 40 pounds....

Hey! I'm up early enough to say "G'Morning Sillies!!"

Busy silly saturday y'all . ..off to catch up. (& the *&^%$# Sunday paper not here yet :P:lol: )

Hope I don't jinx myself Patti-style in saying I feel better than I have in weeks.

So I won't. :P

I'm KNOT feeling that good. (But I lie)

Played basketball yesterday - I'm talkin' an actual GAME!! Months ahead of schedule!! - I literally stopped play after a bucket to announce it was my 1st in a game in 8yrs!!

(Realized later it might be 6yrs)

Ok .. . .time to catch up on meaningless sex ... . . . . ..... . .. . ..errr .. . . reading about meaningless sex .. . .

Nikki does have a point though . . . most of those firefighter have a job on the side and a lot of them do contract/construction type of work. I'm sure you could get one to lay a hardwood floor for you in exchange for sexal favoUrs.

:lol: that would be Annie's number one resolution......my little hedonist is all about food, love, food, cuddling, FOOD, playing and romping and going anywhere.....and love and food. :)

Josie knows how to tell time. If someone (one of the kids) hasn't fed her by 8:00 am (and again by 6:00pm), then she stands in front of them and barks. She also knows when it's time for the school bus to come.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!
    • Scott Adams
      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people.

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
