Lisa - did you miss the question? . . . or are you trying to avoid me? :unsure: . . . are you anywhere near Asheville? (Perhaps organizing psilly ashevilly summit?)

Oops, question. Asheville is all the way across the state from me. Way far away B). It would be fun to meet in Asheville. It's beautiful country.

Morning Sillies!

Another hot day. I am here at work. I have had trouble getting to sleep the last 3 nights so I am dragging, and I am having a hard time breathing. I take Allegra as needed and I notice if I dont take it for a few days I get this way. The trouble is in my chest not stuffiness.....it is very uncomfortable.

Off to start some work....not overly excited about that though.

I've decided to invite Edna over for a while . . . even though she's annoying and no fun at all.

*sigh*

Hey, do you think I can lose 20 pounds before I leave for vacation?? a week from Friday?? :lol:

Easily. Just tuck the scale into the cupboard and start telling everyone that you've lost 20 pounds. By the time Friday rolls around everyone will believe you, and what every believes must be true....right?

Gawd, I leave the phorum and head to lands unseen, and just look what happens.... . everyone's connections become tenuous, keys and commands do not respond correctly....and I am no longer even Psilly Regeant!

Everyone, please relax. I will be back in Ottawa on Saturday, and the fine celestial balances will reconnect.

OH! Speaking of Edna, she has been with me throughout NYC and Philly. It is impossible to keep her happy, fully present and accounted for. I keep losing her.....a couple of glasses of wine here, a high-fat gluten-free muffin there..... :angry: Grrrrrrr.......

But Sven and I continue to rendezvous and maintain our strong, lasting love affair. Two great hotel gyms so far, two great runs through Central Park and up the Rocky Museum steps.....

No wonder I'm tired. <_<:huh:

Patti!!!!! Twenty-four hours or so.......

I wonder if we'll really surprise one another? Physically and/or psychologically...

Trying to come up with all the disclaimers and warnings I should be giving to someone about to meet me, face to face, for the first time..... :huh:

I promise... .. .I only scare people away in print...... . .never (well, all right, rarely) in person. :lol:;)

Uncle Ray says hello!!!!!!!!!

Recent studies had demonstrated that beer contains female hormones. If you want to keep being a man, read carefully the article published last year in Scientific American by Dr. Flower.

To prove their theory, 100 men where given 12 pints of beer each and observed the following:

* 95% started talking nonsense.

* 100% couldn't drive.

* 75% found themselves prettier than their friends.

* 25 % felt the ugliest persons in the world.

* El 90% had tendency of gaining weight.

* 100% had Paranoia and thought others where talking about them.

* 80% started crying without reason.

* 80% wanted to spend their money in nonsense.

* 100% wanted to pee every 20 minutes.

* 75% felt uncomprehended.

* 85% thought they knew it all.

* 100 % experimented lack of coordination.

* 85% couldn't recognize their own errors.

* 75% told their miseries to strangers.

* 80% started calling their ex girlfriends at 3:00 a.m.

* 75% lost all sense of reasoning.

Definitely there are female hormones in beer.....

While I like this idea, unfortunately, it doesn't help my clothes fit any better. Edna's been here for 8 hours!!! That's the longest she's stuck around in a year (not counting the Stomach Flu Edna at Christmas).

Nikki . . . Edna is a vampire . . . :lol::lol: . . . and "slower than dirt?". . . well, what do you think dirt's top speed is? . . . exactly!!

sooo, this may just be a female thing, but:

Ya know how sometimes you go into a multi-stalled bathroom, and there's someone in a different stall, and you start doing whatever you came in there for, and from the next stall there's either dead silence for the duration of your visit, or else there's some gratuitous rattling of toilet paper and blowing of nose, but nothing else?

Just what is it they're doing in there that they think other people don't do in a bathroom?? Reading subversive material? Playing ping pong? What?

If I had more time I'd be tempted to just hang out in my stall and see if anything substantial ever happened next door.

More BeveRAY:

A farmer named Seamus had a car accident. In court, the lorry company's hot-shot solicitor was questioning Seamus. "Didn't you say to the Police at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine?" asked the solicitor. Seamus responded: "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite cow, Bessie, into the..." "I didn't ask for any details", the solicitor interrupted, "just answer the question - did you say, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine!"? Seamus said, "Well,I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down theroad...."

The solicitor interrupted again and said, "Your Honour, I am trying to establish the fact that at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the que stion." By this time, theJudge was fairly interested in Seamus' answer and said to the solicitor: "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow,Bessie".

Seamus thanked theJudge and proceeded. "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favourite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge lorry and trailer came through a stop sign and hit my trailer right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the oth er. I was hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move. However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moaning and

groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the policeman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, "How are you feeling?"

"Now what the Hell would you say?"

a nano-second poop-in and this is what I saw. :lol:

Jess, clearly you have too much time alone w/ your dingo thoughts in those stalls. Why don't you get one of those fake/joke pigtail-like piles of rubbery poop - or a flattened heap of plastic vomit - and......just plop it on the floor, within visible range of your stall neighbor?

that could be fun..................

exhausted........going to nap now.......................

Spending lots of time in the potty. Havin' a bad fibroid week. Was waiting for my boss to do his evening check in yesterday so I could send him to the store to get some tampons. Fortunately (unfortunately?) he didn't come by. Would have loved to see his expression :P

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.

      I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac disease, and started the gluten free diet 4 years ago.  This past spring,  I experienced sudden onset diarrhea, which was persistent for several weeks, before I had a colonoscopy.  I was told my colon looked normal, but the biopsy showed microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  I was asked at that time if I was still experiencing the diarrhea, and when I said yes, I was prescribed an 8 week course of Budesonide, which included the weaning off phase.  Budesonide is a steroid, but it is allegedly specific for the bowel, and has very few systemic side effects.  I must say, I experienced no side effects, except a couple little spots of persistent psoriasis went away.  I have one week of treatment left, and other than one loose stool very early in treatment, I have had no further bowel issues.  I was told that 80 percent of people go into an extensive, or even permanent, remission after taking Budesonide.  During the colonoscopy, two polyps were removed, and one was precancerous.  I know that colon cancer risks are higher in people with Celiac disease, so it was recommended that I have another coloscopy in five years.      Like your husband, I probably had untreated Celiac disease for years.  It makes one wonder if the chronic irritation and inflammation could lead to the development of microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  This disease is usually diagnosed in people over 50 years old, and occurs approximately in one out of every 1,000 people.        Incidentally, If your husband is prescribed Budesonide, it can be purchased significantly cheaper by using GoodRX.

      Thanks for sharing this! Talk about frustrating! It is complicated enough to try to keep track of which products are safe, but the concept of the same product sold at 2 different stores--one that is certified gluten-free and one that isn't--that is exactly why having celiac disease is still so difficult, and it is so easy to make mistakes!
    • Scott Adams
      It's great that this business has celiac disease awareness and uses gluten-free oats! I wish more restaurants would make such simple changes, for example if Asian restaurants switched to using gluten-free soy sauce, many (but not all!) risks would be eliminated for lots of their dishes. My daughter works at a Vietnamese restaurant where the owner is keenly aware of celiacs, and he has made the switch to gluten-free soy and fish sauces.

      It sounds like you’ve been doing everything right—strictly avoiding gluten, managing food allergies, and advocating for yourself—yet you’re still dealing with severe pain, exhaustion, and other debilitating symptoms. The fact that your colonoscopy came back clear after 31 years gluten-free is a testament to your diligence, but it doesn’t erase the very real struggles you’re facing daily. It’s concerning that previous doctors dismissed your celiac diagnosis, and now you’re left fighting for validation while dealing with unexplained symptoms like eye pressure, skin issues, and relentless pain. Menopause and long COVID may be complicating things further, making it even harder to pinpoint the root cause. Are you sure your diet is 100% gluten-free? Do you eat in restaurants...if so, this can be a source of contamination. Trace amounts of gluten over time could explain your symptoms. Many people with celiac disease have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
