:lol: All these nicknames. Actually, Allo's given name is Garth--but I started calling him Allo so much that it stuck years ago, so we consider that his name. :lol:

GARTH!! This is a FANTASTIC name for any animal....especially a cat, but would do nicely on a chihuahua or toy poodle... :lol: I LOVE it.

.....where ARE your spectacles again??......you'll note size 12 ,which I believe is a US 10 which would get Jenn AND Dr Light Salad in.

Nikki! Wait, now..... :huh:

Our size 10 is the same as the US 10, I am certain...and it is just an average, healthy size for a five-foot-five woman...

Mygawd....you mean a British size 12 is for fatties (excuse me...the "robust woman")?....I tried on a number of size 10 and 12 pants while over there, and they were only a bit big.....

You can get two people into a British 12?!.......uh, oh........ :unsure::blink::lol:

Janet - bah! on the stress!!!!!!.........fingers a crossing Monday :)

Janet! All you need do is instruct DS to pretend to be calm. :rolleyes:

I have no idea. I have a nickname for just about everybody! No rhyme or reason to it

Patti, you sound just like my mom. Her nicknames through the years have been unforgettable...As young kids, we were all called "Poop-nose", if you can imagine. :lol::lol:

One thing- I FREAKIN' LOVE YOUSE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, okay, Bev...but ya can't love these girls tonight....you're there for a reason. Get ready to take 'em down............. :o:lol:

There is currently an advert repeatedly being shown on tv here for Disneyland.......everytime Alan sees it he shrieks ''I'm going!!!!'' ''I'm going!!!!!!'' :lol:

:D SO exCITing!!!!!!

speaking of Jenn - she did have coffee, which turned into dinner (sushi) and then ice cream w/ Dr. LightSalad last night....it was acceptable, she says, but not overly stellar. He is of good character, nice looking, I told her to be patient and give it a few more tries. ;)

You 'n' yer Kisseyboy set the bar too high for the rest of the unattached.

We are so excited to go to the cabin this Friday. Oh, did I tell you guys? we're going to MY family's cabin, w/ a real toilet, actual shower, a microwave, and ELECTRICITY!!!!! :lol:

Ahhhhhhhhhhh <happy sigh> . .. ...Ventana etc etc

I even miss Hwy68 and there's barely anything relatively good about it!

Oh! :o That Pacific Grove gluten-free bakery is called Central Ave Bakery, btw.

It wasn't up for long. It was a photo of Patti and her family. It did provide confirmation of an earlier discussion: Patti is shortvertically challenged. :o

Just a short post to let everyone know I'm still around. Not the usual Wednesday, as we got our weekly delivery yesterday, as Good Friday is a public holiday in these parts.

you mentioned this before.....it *might* be worth a trip into PG.....very out of the way, though. The only chance would be Friday on the way in.....I may call to see how late they're open that day........or send my friend Em in. She lives in Carmel Valley but was raised in Pacific Grove.....an idyllic life, an idyllic friend!

but I digress.......................

Oh yeah .. . .I wouldn't leave Big Sur for ANYTHING either. If I could eat what they've got tho it'd be hard to resist while passing the PG exit.

It's not like (hehe) there's a San Jose gluten-free bakery. :lol:

Yeah! So glad that everyone is excited about Alan's trip. You know, for some buffaol tenders (gluten-free of course), I can provide some EXTRA protection :P

OMG. Ladeeeeeez.....can we talk about how evil your common, neighborhood pharmacy drug store is? Seems like a benign thing, right? but nooooooooo.........all sorts of new coloUrs, cosmetics, and smelly things lure the hapless female like moth to flame. :ph34r:

Gail and I used to wander among the cosmetics aisles for a couple of hours...finding all kinds of new pretty, pretty things....to make us soooooo pretty.......... :lol:

next thing you know, you simply went in to pick up your prescription, and you've spent $40 on.......what? :blink: some new "miracle" hair product(s), some lotion, some eye shadow, a new blush, bronzer, some nail polish, a waxing kit, a lipstick, a self-tanner.......

and then you got nothin' to show fer it :angry:

Walgreens - harrumph, pure evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :huh: (although this time I got out for under $30 and most were necessities)

Whoa, I hear ya.....but listen to this heavenly scenario: at our Shoppers' Drug Marts, we have a card that gets loaded with points after each purchase. After an accumulation of 35,000 points, one gets $100.00 worth of free merchandise. Well, I rack up those points in a couple of months, as I buy all of my shockingly expensive diabetes supplies there. Well, it is absolute heaven, wandering up and down the cosmetic/magazine/hair stuff/vitamin aisles, gradually filling my cart with FREE STUFF...

Ah, I love when this happens.....

Unfortunately, Shoppers Drug Mart does not carry frames.....no entertaining picture-sneaking.... :rolleyes:

A great, close hockey game. The girls were thrown all over the place by those HEINOUS AMAZONS, and still ended up winning 3-1. They didn't back down. This is such a great thing for young teenaged girls to learn, to experience. Sophie stood her ground (or ice), came out and challenged, and wasn't annihilated!! :whewface:

I think Terry & I are more excited!!!

There is currently an advert repeatedly being shown on tv here for .......everytime Alan sees it he shrieks ''I'm going!!!!'' ''I'm going!!!!!!'' :lol:

I would be shrieking with glee too! Disney World is magic -- so many good Disney memories from my childhood. He will have sooooo much fun. So excited for him and his equally excited parents! :D

A motley crew--eh? From left to right: Matt, moi, JP and Mark. My guys :wub:

I caught your family av while it was up -- very nice looking bunch. I feel like a lucky girl too when I'm surrounded by my 4 special guys (Ryan, Dad, bro, Grandpa) :wub:

Helluva game tonight...more later. Gotta go feed my awesome netminder.... :)

Yay Sophie! I bet she stood on her head! (I always liked that saying :P)

I've been busy at Colin's place helping him go 100% gluten-free. We had a tag team going today -- grandpa calling drug companies to check the gluten status of his meds(he declared that he was in desperate need of a stiff drink half way through :lol: ), me helping Colin go through his fridge/cupboards to clear out all the gluten, and my dad making copious lists of the new food and cookware he'll need. We made quite a bit of headway.

Ryan's family invited my my brother, dad, and grandpa to their Easter dinner -- isn't that sweet! So I will have all of my dearest loved ones together for Easter.

OMG . . . I know!!! I love the points system. I usually buy my makeup at Shoppers with my $100 of free stuff. I think I had $200 free stuff one magic Saturday!

      I just thought I'd update this post. My father has had some issues with his heart rythym and we found giving him an electrolyte drink plus a vitamin D supplement with extra calcium containing food (yoghurt) made a big difference, and very quickly. My own problems with ectopic heartbeats started up again with warmer weather so I thought I'd take a leaf out of his book, and now, for the second time, after just one Phizz Electrolyte Drink, and a dose of vitamin D (Fultium D 800 x 4) with a milkshake, my ectopics disappeared within the hour.   Probably the Phizz drink rather than the D with calcium, but maybe it all helped?  Just mentioning this in case anyone is looking for answers.

      Do you have the standard range for the test results you received? A level of anti-tTG2 antibodies at least 10x the standard range is almost certainly (>98%) due to coeliac disease. Moderately raised levels can be caused by other conditions as well as coeliac disease. Accuracy of the No-Biopsy Approach for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis It is possible to have latent or early stage coeliac disease without histological changes visible by microscope. As has been suggest in this thread, if the repeat test comes up negative and serology is high, request an HLA genetic test from your specialist. Only 40 % of the population carries an HLA gene variant enabling the development of coeliac disease - if you test negative for this, it is quite unlikely that you have coeliac disease.

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.
