Sarah? Is today when your mom gets news/results?

I thought we'd be hearing something, but no. They want her to come in Thursday to have her stitches removed (they took slices instead of a punch biopsy this time,) and I think we'll get the results then. I've got to see if my MIL can watch the boys so I can go with Mom.

I made a corn and black bean salad to go with dinner tonight, and it turned out really good! (Brian, of course, heated it up and dumped it on rice. :rolleyes: ) I think I need to write down what I did. I kinda winged it, and I'll never remember if I don't write it down. :lol:

I"LL TAKE YER RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had some to give ya, Susie........I want some rain to get rid of this oppressive, thick, heavy, wet, steaming air. :droopyboilinghotface:

I was wondering if we'd hear news of your mom, Sarah. Waiting's tough, I'm sure. :( We'll be here for you!

Great llama pic, Ptaoughmghmn!. Actually, I've just realized that I may have looked an awful lot like a llama before I got off gluten...... .. contented, sleepy, long-toothed.... .. . :lol:

Tomorrow's Father's Day! Dinner with my dad, and my children's dad (uh....that would be DH....) Should be a nice day. :)

The Ripper's team could end up in first. It looked like they were going to lose today because they had someone else as third-base coach, not waving them forward or home in close, risky play. I walked over to the coach in the last inning and said, "We need five runs. Now. You need to put me over at third". So, he did. And I had them tearing to third base, stretching out doubles with terrified looks on their faces, sliding crazily into home, desparate and scared.....

So, we got the five runs. Jack said to me afterwards, "You are crazy, Mom. But uh, I guess.... thanks".... :lol:

Lots of rain up in Moose Jaw, Ryan? We just keep threatening, here.. .. ..heavy humidity, like we're going to get pounding rain, and it never happens to give us some relief. Ptaoughmghmn, I want yer dry, arid 100 degrees! Trade 'ja!

Yes..We've had over 3 inches of rain in the last week or so...most of that in the last 24 hours or so. I am glad the sun came out, but we've now had thunderstorms ALL day. It's getting a little old. :)

Happy Fathers Day to all the Silly Dads out there.

Ain't it the WORST? Cannot believe the sweat that I generate simply by walking around dusting and tidying..... Yuck.

Very phunnee... .. .I of course was thinking of you, Susie, when The Ripper insisted on this tie for his dad. Jack being Jack, I told him what these pretty, orange-red leaves grouped in threes all over this tie looked like, as I knew he would find it fascinating. Well, he spent some time on google reading all about poison oak. This is what I now am privileged to know about this classification of plants (and what Jack wanted me to tell you, Susie):

The infamous rash one gets from poison oak is from the oil on the leaves called urushiol, meaning "lacquer" in Japanese....

Only 1 nanogram (billionth of a gram) of the oil is needed to cause a severe rash.....

1/4 ounce of urushiol is all that is needed to cause a rash in every person on earth.....

Isn't that all just fascinating? :rolleyes::D

<_< Oh, I know all of this already. Tell Yon Ripper that to FULLY experience the joys of the demon weed, one must contract it, be highly susceptible to it, and then suffer its burning, exploding, itching-like-the-devil, PAINFUL, swolt-up KNIVES ON ONE'S SKIN, lingering-for-weeks-or-months oozing blisters and purple-welted diabolitry to fully appreciate its joys........ :angry::angry:

and DO tell The Ripper that this urushiol is active and toxic even on DEAD PLANTS for up to five years. <_< And that in California, victims can actually receive workman's comp for it......it's THAT painful and debilitating.

I'm not even going to Last Chance on David's two upcoming July trips - can't risk it. :(:angry: (but I can BET you all that I'll actually get it just from coming in contact w/ Kissey when he returns :blink: )

Mygawd, Llama Lady....there is much to learn, here. But do not be afraid. Most importantly, do not scurry away! I don't think any of us can tell you the reasons behind our PH's for F's, our compulsory Commonwealth spelling, our license taken with proper name spelling.....these things have simply....happened......

Um.....it's a pertinent and fascinating question to ponder - - whether or not llamas can be afflicted with gluten intolerance - - but there is, really, a more pressing question:

Do llamas have anal glands? :huh::huh:

OMG - that is PHUNNY! LlamaLady is a phearless contributor to our wackl thread, adn bold enough to ask questions, rather than run away askeert, confused llama tail betwixt legs! :lol:

LL, we started w/ psilly spellings eons ago...........but I"m not sure why. Um, we're pretty wacky, and it just seemed phunnier to us, somehow.

we spell many things in goofy ways, such as Tom - his name has become Ptaum (short version) or Pthaughoughm (variations therein) - Welsh version. And yes, we made that up. :lol:

We use the word wackl a lot, and that is because I was trying to use the wacko face ----> :wacko: and instead of typing that correctly, I put in :wackl: and it suited us, so it stayed.

We always use British (Commonwealth, as Em said) spellings for words that contain the superflous u, and we capitalize said U:

flavoUr

coloUr

tumoUr

and - superfluous O:

cOelic

anOemia

Um........just run wif it. It's phun :lol: and psilly :wacko: and makes no sense. :P

There are many more nuances to our spelling and words, but truth be told, we're juts plain NUTS, and we crack ourselves up........most people around here are pretty scared of us, though, we don't mind that. :lol: In fact we are rather pleased wtih our self-proclaimed reputation as naughty stepchildren :lol:

But - as nutty as we are - and we are truly barking mad - - we keep up w/ each other's daily lives, pretty much, and really do care about each other. :wub: We welcome newcomers, as well - the more sillies, the better.

Happy Dad's Day to silly dads, silly's dads etc!!!!

Hey nice new avs! :)

- only the sound has to be off or Weezee goes crazy.....

Heehee

(& a lil :( )

Tom - where's Tom? Have the smoky skies obfuscated you from our view? was thinking of you on brothers' birthdays.......

Awwwww thx :)

It WAS weird how much smoke came up from the 'Indians Fire', from WAY down in southern monterey county.

Not sure how you'd know that .. .good guess?

. .. so I hope to get a chance to teach my dd how to ride her new bike,

Yeah that's a biggie i'n't it? ;)

I walked over to the coach in the last inning and said, "We need five runs. Now. You need to put me over at third".

LOVE this Em!!! :lol:

So, he did. And I had them tearing to third base, stretching out doubles with terrified looks on their faces, sliding crazily into home, desparate and scared.....

So, we got the five runs. Jack said to me afterwards, "You are crazy, Mom. But uh, I guess.... thanks".... :lol:

Way to coach, coach!!!!!!! :D

Tel is so totally crack-whipped

<_<

Yep . . . there she goes . . . did anybody keep track of how long Emily lasted before she had to ask llamalady an anal gland question?? You know, next time we have someone join our thread, we should start a pool.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Riley. · Posted

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
