How many GI docs does it take to change a light bulb?

Well, one to say it's not the bulb, it's the lamp that's the problem.

Another to try and convince you that the light is still on, you're

just not "seeing it".

And a third to say, "I know it's burned out, but I don't know what

to do to help you get it back on!"

So, in a sense, we're all left in the DARK!!!

OMG- Emily, your discourse skills are unparalled. You gotta Open Original Shared Link

Early in the writing, Gee defines Discourse as a combination of acts: saying, writing, doing, being, valuing, etc. He views Discourse as a social construct not dissimilar from Culture. In fact, in order to master a Discourse, one must go through an intensive process of enculturation or apprenticeship where there is a focus on social practices and supported interaction with people who have already mastered a Discourse.

Is that us or what? When youse a New Psilly all you think is :wacko::blink::huh:

Paddeigh's posting!

PATTI!!!!!!!!! did they get the sillies outta yer butt??????????????????????? :lol: (good one, Judy)

How ya pheelin????????

And there's a climbing spot up there called "Cirque of the Unclimbables" - - - drives me absolutely mad in its exoticism and scary-sounding remoteness :lol::ph34r:

Never mind.........just the useless thoughts of a convoluted Dingo Brain...... :lol:

<I am so weird>

OMG - now why didn't WE think of this?????????????? have GOT to come up wif some clever gimmick-y thing that people will pay such big bucks for...........

<could I put them Lilliputs on some of me dog's poop cairns in the grass?> :ph34r:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Tom - maybe the doc can find yer silly up Patti's bum.......... hope so.

lost my train of thought, spit out my drink and lmao :lol:

YEAH,,,, PATTI IS BACK IN THE HOUSE

just glad it's over and you home safe and sound and hope resting.........and not cleaning ;)

Yay Patti- hope your bum is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite funny dumb insult has got to be.... gee her happy meal came missing the toy

:lol:

then again my favorite loose girl comment is "She is like the town bicycle everyone gets a ride."

..one oar in the water...two bricks shy of a load...you knock and no one is home....

But, my favorite from my from my husband..."it's pouring like a cow pissing on a flat rock in a rain storm" and "sweatin' like a whore in church" and "nervous like a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs."

Goosey- Your hubby is a dirty boy!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Em--Did Jack have a nice time at camp? Come back wif any burning questions we can help with? :P

I'll tell you what he said to me today as we were coming back from the gym. From the back seat, I suddenly hear him say:

"Mom... . .. . . ... .... . ....you are two thousand, two hundred and eight weeks old".

<_<:rolleyes:

Jack had a terrific time at his camp. He and seven other ten year-old boys in his cabin......can you imagine what that bedtime was like? He had the most incredible bed-dirt-sand-lakewater hair when we picked him up - - like this:

. . . .. . .. . . . . . . .. . . . . .. .. . .. .. .@@@

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B)

And I am sure he grew a couple of inches in that week!

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol:

He told me the consensus there was a half-sized head. But I dunno.... .. . . . these are kids, reasoning that a miniscule head would be less noticeable than a huge one, but I think something the size of a grapefruit would be gettin' a lot of stares.......... :lol::rolleyes:

M-m-mm....the head question.....a larger one would make fer a stiff neck, I'd reckon, but a smaller one.....I donno....the word pinhead comes to mind :lol: Have to ponder this one :lol:

I hope by "cool" you mean "neato" and not . . ."Egads, there's no insulation, there's no furnace, the door's 12 feet wide (and always open with random animals coming in and out). It's like living in a . . . barn!!"

random animals coming in and out :lol: that could be phun! <as long as the cairns aren't too big>

So Patti heard from Jess - that's good. I imagine she'll have some excellent ramblings coming up.....

Gah! You could arrange it to appear as though the Lilliputians are, in fact, assembling the turds into cairns..... . . making structures of worship, landmarks or sepulchral monuments. . .. .... .. :lol::lol:

Oh, brilliant!!!!!! Alas, these cairns are going to be quite a bit more odiferous and possibly less appealing than that clever photographer's forays into broccoli and cauliflower......have to find Lilliputians who are willing to put up with stinky phecal conditions and climbing onto cairns of Dingo scat.........where will I get those? Shall I put an ad on Craig's List? :unsure::lol:

OK- I was going to comment on all this (especially CIRQUE OF THE UNCLIMBABLES- I wanna go there wif you!!!!!) but then I saw:

Susie enjoying the cold snap?

<_< the "cold snap" is over already. Back to 100 this weekend.......... BAH!!!!!!!!! :angry: But it's been soooooooo nice these last three days........

Need to throw in some sort of endurance training as well . . . we get some phunnie visitors but they don't stay . . . hmmm . . . do we smell of wee smell of poop cairns smell??

*snort* :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

I actually told him on the weekend that we were anxiously awaiting another question from him. He said, "Oh! One night, our counsellor asked us when we were sitting around the campfire which we would choose: to have a head twice the size it is now, or half the size it is now"........

:lol: Um, yeah, I don't think either option is going to be that great.......must ponder........

Oracle PeOter! How do I make a circonflexe? :huh:

Open Original Shared Link It is a carry-forward of the extended ASCII character set used by PC-DOS and MS-DOS. What value you type depends on what vowel you want to combine with the circumflex.

I've been distracted with other things, so I am rather late in my reply. I wasn't ignoring you.

Directly underneath each character is an italicized number. To enter the character, press and hold <alt> while typing the 3-digit number on the key pad. If the character number is less than 100, you must type leading zeros so that a three-digit number is entered, but most of these characters can simply be typed.

Ha! Can you imagine......Cattle cairns?? :lol:

Yeah........do we smell? what happened to John's Mom? here and then gone.......so phleeting.......

Yes, there have been a number of potential Psillies who have wandered in, posted regularly, and then boom! Gone......Daughter of the Light, Erica, Colleen and the phunny crew from Makeupville........ .

I think the bigger question, however, is this: Why do we stay, and stay, and stay???! :lol::rolleyes:

Bev! Are you staying at The Eastgate Tower? This is where we stayed when we were in NYC this summer, two blocks from the UN. A superb place.......big suites, kitchenettes, and cheap! (for NY)....

Have a super time! Get yer PICC, then head out to Times Square.....a truly unbelievable place, isn't it? :)

At least with a pin head, you would be able to still buy hats, although they'd all be baby bonnets, I suppose. Not too much is gonna fit on something that's the size of a small beach ball. And that would certainly be the end of turtlenecks........ :rolleyes:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
