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.

:lol::lol: poison oak dollar store tie

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

<_<

I'm having trouble remembering how that started . ..was it pre-phaerie?

      I havesome of the replies to your post(which by the way is a gread piece of writing) and think that it will take lots of time and reading to decide what you are going to do. I would like to give you some practical suggestions. Your anxieties and OCD are a perfectly natural response when your body is sending signals that you have physical problems. The body does not use words it uses biochemistry and electric interactions. Celiac disease is not a killer disease so you are not going to die in the near future if you get glutened.  It can be a disabling problem unless you stay gluten free. For OCD attacks I have used spearmint or peppermint teas to relax. I also sitorlay down , relax as much as possible and review what I have been eating for the last few days and can usually identify that I have been eating too much of something and not enough of other foods that would balance my body. My body may have become too acid when it needs to be slightly alkaline. For me this means eating more vegetables and less starches and proteins. There are some websites that will list acid forming foods and alkaline forming food and many foods that are in between. Just admit that you are anxious about gluten being present in foods and anything that is used to prepare foods or even in your environment. When you eat anything that makes you anxious take a capsule of an anti-gliadin enzyme. I use a brand called GliadinX. It works in the stomach and will break down small amounts of gluten. Look up online the amount of plain water your body height and weight needs every day. Two years ago I was 5' 4" and weighed 100 lbs and needed 48 oz. every day.  Even if you can't drink the full amount if you just drink more water you will notice some improvement in your digestive system.  That's enough for tonight and it's way past my bedtime. Don't hesitate to ask more question or ask for more information.

      Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full nutritional panel. Sometimes, new sensitivities or hidden sources of gluten or additives like sodium lauryl sulfate (common in toothpaste) can trigger symptoms like canker sores too. Since your reactions are so severe and you're highly vigilant, it might also be worth considering whether any other autoimmune conditions could be involved, as they can develop over time and overlap with celiac. Consulting with your doctor or a celiac-informed dietitian may help pinpoint the cause and bring relief.

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten. 
    • Dora77
      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately
