<----Here I am making a spectacle of myself (*snort*)

I thought I'd get my eyes tested as I was taking the kids - and blow me if I don't need glasses!!!! :lol::lol:

...but at least I can read without my nose touching the monitor now!!!

:lol::lol::lol: spectacle :lol:

They look very cool, Nikki B) It's a good thing you decided to be tested!

Congrats on the 3 weeks without a smoke--that's great! Yep, I never cared for dark chocolate--I loved milk chocolate. When I went dairy free, I developed a taste for the dark very quickly :P

If Moses supposes

His toeses are roses

Then Moses supposes erroneously

For nobody's toeses

Are posies of roses

As Moses supposes his toeses to be

-Unknown source

OMG- my sister's parting quote in the yearbook was :

I suppose

If had no toes

Then I couldn't wear flip flops

Yep...flip flops would be out of the question.

I work with a lady who has webbed toes. She is bummed she can never wear toe socks, she never mentioned flip-flops though.

Now, she has my sympathies as *I* cannot wear flip flops either (not that I've got webbed toes though!)

My feet are so skinny (wish my hips were :blink: ) and my toes are really long (ok,they are like fingers!! :lol: ) that I just can't wear them---I end up with blisters between my toes.

How annoying ...I am bummed too <_<

Actually, that was a good one, Nikki--but I had to think about it a minute :lol:

Home Remedies

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of

boiling water down your throat and, presto, the blockage will be

removed.

2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting

someone else to hold them while you chop away.

3. Avoid arguments with your wife about lifting the toilet seat by simply

using the sink.

4. For high-blood-pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a

few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a

timer.

5. A mousetrap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from

rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will

be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will

forget all about the toothache.

8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are:

You only need two tools - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move

and should, use the WD-40; if it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

9. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. So be brief with people.

10. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

Thoughts for the day:

If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.

Be really nice to your family and friends; you never know when you might

need them to empty your bedpan.

Some people are like "slinkies". They're not really good for anything; but

they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

The Shiny-Walled Box Thingie

spacer

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that moved apart and back together again by themselves.

The lad asked, "What is this, father?"

The father (having never seen an elevator) responded, "I have no idea what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched as small circles lit up above the walls.

The walls opened up again and a beautiful twenty-four-year-old woman stepped out.

The father looked at his son anxiously and said, "Go get your mother."

"I don't care what you've discovered,

you still could have written!"

MICHELANGELO'S MOTHER:

"Can't you paint on walls like other children?

Do you have any idea how hard it is to

get that stuff off the ceiling?"

NAPOLEON'S MOTHER:

"All right, if you aren't hiding your report card

inside your jacket, take your hand out of

there and show me."

ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S MOTHER:

"Again with the stovepipe hat? Can't you just

wear a baseball cap like the other kids?"

MARY'S MOTHER:

"I'm not upset that your lamb followed you to school,

but I would like to know how he got a

better grade than you."

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S MOTHER:

young man, midnight is past your curfew."

ALBERT EINSTEIN'S MOTHER:

"But it's your senior picture.

Can't you do something about your hair?

OY! Styling gel, mousse, something...?"

      I've been gluten free for 5 years, as well as being intolerant to gluten, my list of intolerances is growing.. from dairy, eggs, soya, yeast, to mushroom, garlic, onion, spinach and quite a few in-between, basically my diet is gluten-free cornflakes, rice, banana, almond milk and fish anything else causes bloating, severe abdominal pain, mucousy diarrhoea, lethargy, muscle and joint pain, kidney pain, headaches, and mouth ulcers. I've been told it's IBS, I think it's more than that... I've been sent to a gastroenterologist who tested for coeliac, if course it came back negative because, as I told him, I haven't eaten gluten for 5 years, he's asked me to eat gluten for 4 weeks and redo the blood test, so I've tried small amounts of crispbread for 3 days and am in agony, I can't do this for 4 weeks and then however long it'll take to recover. Has anyone got any suggestions, and is multiple food intolerances a common side effect of coeliac? I'm struggling! And struggling to be taken seriously 😒

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:
