Imagine...posting when you've nothing to say!! I cannot imagine doing this.....

Had to snortle again over this sentence :lol: :lol: yes, imagine indeed!

Susie- please find something to say all my other sillies have abandoned me in the vortex today....

:lol:

OMG....

Okay...this is a GREAT addition to the list of things I must take on our trip tomorrow. Me, outside snowshoeing with a cowbell in my pouch, for any kind of reason...Me, trying to wake up snoozing children for the beckoning ski hill...Me, somewhat inebriated, throwing on loud, pounding dance CDs and needing that final element to make me an unforgettable dancing, party chick....

Oh gawd....first the frantic search for absinthe, and now I must find me a cowbell and thingy to hit it with.....

oh dear gawwwwwwwwd........ :lol:

A mad cowbell-lady drinking a bottle of clouded grOeen......

Well, we lost another newbie . . . must have been Em'd.

:lol:

Or.......fall on your arse and get a stigmata of someone

Well, the machine came in and the tower is a rich glossy black and it does calculations like you wouldn't believe. So he decided it should be a black goddess. And now we have Nefertiti. And she is amazing.

Had to Google Montalcini and Hypatia......she's a smart one, that wacky Jess. Love Nefertiti.

Did I comment on the Susie's piano tale???....wasn't it fab???? :)

OMG yes!!! ...ok, he's grown the fur a bit - & has clearly been using the straighteners..(gotta look your best in CA you know

OMG - is Yeti still in California? Yes - hair-straightening and teeth-bleaching.....maybe some augmentational surgeries of some kind?

:wub:

I emailed kissey the piano story - he read it whilst on my couch - and cried..... :)

OMG - what I forgot to tell you guys is how much I nagged my poor mother and dying father (bipolar nagging - 'tis a b!tch - lemme tell ya :ph34r: ) about that piano..... :huh: wretched girl........ :lol: but later realized why he kept putting me off - our piano had sold and he was keeping the secret from me.

(Careful .. . ... I believe an exposed peter IS grounds for cancellation of acct)

:ph34r:

:lol:

Fresno BevMo - checking today for absinthe.

MucoUsorium :lol: Lots and lots of green fluids, absinthetic displays (and samplings) and snomit......

A polite note is sufficient.

"Darling, gone off to the states for a bit. Be back soon. Hugs"

:lol: gahhhhh

Nicola - discussion on tights coming later.........

amanda - take some of the Phaerie into the meeting. ;)

Computer geeks might find this amusing.

You know something.....very often, I put my pants on both legs at the same time....in fact, I think I always do this, providing I'm sitting down--not easy to do standing, I'll assure you. It's faster, and hell, I just don't have time for one leg...then tne other...

Hmmmmm.....the little self-discoveries made whilst fraternizing with other Sillies.... :lol:

I want you ALL to come!!!!

Called my bro, who's coming here from Toronto after work, and we'll convoy it into Quebec tomorrow. I asked him if he has a cowbell. Not even a pause. He said, "Uh....nope. But my buddy across the street does. I can get it, if you want". No "HUH? COWBELL? WTF?" :lol::lol:

Who has a cowbell and thingy, with no cows to go with it?!......

Have you been in his house? How do you know he doesn't have any cows? Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they are not there. They could be in the basement.

For all we know, his basement's been pasture-ized.

Well now, this is a challenge....there IS no bathroom in these cabins....only an outhouse. I do NOT plan to lie on the floor of an outhouse, though one certainly never knows, does one? :lol:

There is a main cabin, two smaller sleeping cabins, a cook shed, an adobe pit cooking area, and an outhouse on 60 acres tucked well away into the mountains..... :wub: I am out of my mind. Oh, no electricity, either. It's a bit like camping, only all the equipment is there.

I was a bit worried about how we'd have our ice for the Phaerie, but we will have ice chests. ;)

PTAUM!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG - there is a slight chance we'll be staying the night in Willow Glen, leaving Sat. morning (not too early)........ Um, we MIGHT be able to meet you for the QUICKEST (like, 10 minutes?) cup of wah-hock-in at your coffee obsession place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

don't etch it in stone - we will see how things play out but I'll call/email if this is a possibility.......

I can't say I know how this relates to the should've-just-used-a-smaller-glass glass half-empty/half-full scenario, but I'd call the toilet in question 'LID UP', rather than 'seat down'.

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.
    • Ello
      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response. 
    • trents
      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

      I have always eaten gluten and never stopped until my recent episode. I started more wheat products as my Dr. requested for the Tissue Transglutaminase Iga Antibody. mye result Value <1.0 Value interpretation: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or =15.0 Antibody detected I do not understand any of it. After eating all that wheat product my body exploded with all sorts of symptoms. I stop gluten ASAP. I am still in the healing process. I started having issues after my surgery.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Ello! You say you had a blood test for celiac disease after eating gluten for 2 weeks. Were you gluten free before that? Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5. Can you provide the name of the test and the reference range for negative vs. positive for the test? I ask because different labs used different reference ranges so scores without a reference range aren't very helpful.
