SNIPPY RECEPTIONIST

An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients.

As he approached the receptionist's desk,.......

For a second I thought you were going to tell this one...........

An 86 year old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The receptionist said, "Hello, sir. Can you please tell me why you are here to see the doctor today?"

"There's something wrong with my d!ck," he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said,"You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you." he said.

The receptionist replied, "Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the doctor in private."

The man repied, "You shouldn't ask people questions in a room full of strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone." The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.

The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?"

"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated.

The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, sir?"

"I can't p!ss out of it," he replied.

Mess with seniors and you're gonna lose!

Keggling is an old word for bowling :P

I'm old. :huh:

I knew dat!.....I guess that makes me old too :ph34r:

LOL! We are talking about the same thing right....or maybe my mind is in the gutter again.....

Three old ladies were sitting side by side on patio chairs at their retirement home reminiscing. The first lady recalled from years past shopping at their local Piggly Wiggly and demonstrated with her hands the length and thickness of a cucumber she could buy for a penny.

The second old lady nodded, adding that onions used to be much bigger and cheaper also, and demonstrated the size of two big onions she could buy for a pennie a piece.

The third old lady remarked, "I can't hear a word you're saying, but I remember the guy you're talking about."

Hi Sillies-

a nice evening for a walk!

SusieQ we missed you :):):) glad youre back!

Jen and I took Landen for a walk to the duck pond. We tried ways to scheme the beach getaway. Jen, Becky and Landen were all planning to go too. We might skip the Wildwood beach and go to one maybe closer to home. We will see, Ocean City MD is about the same distance that Wildwood/Cape May is for us. There is Sea Side Heights, but last time I was there it was errmm-uhmmm Shady!

So another thing we talked about is our neighbors, as you guys know we were so happy when the ghetto boys were evicted in March. In May, we got new neighbors....now I am not trying to be judgemental, we have many arabian people who live in our community...but these two are different....we think they are bad news! First they are under a corporate rental, but the guy never works, always home. They will not talk to anyone, the girl he is with looks about 15, he is nearing 30ish. They are always fighting.... but the strange thing is the cars, always a different car, sometimes they have it for a week sometimes two, we just found out they are renting a car. John saw the papers on the front seat. They always exchange cars in the overnight hours. Last night they came home with a BMV convertible. This evening a Toyota Camry.....very odd. Jen's dog, has barked at them since Day 1. She literally goes nuts when they come and go...growling and such. If Jen is in the backyard with the dogs and the man comes out, Ali the german shepard gets very protective and violent. The man has shaved his head, he kind of looks like a natzi or something, very scary. He stares at me when I go outside. My other neighbors have caught him sneaking around the vehicles out front....he always goes to the parking lot to make phone calls and he picks this dark area and hides himself. Oh and they litter they throw everything on the ground. Bags of fast food, fruit that rots, and he gets drunk and comes out and pukes in our parking lot.... Something is not right with these people....and we dont know what to do. No one believes us but something is fishy...what do you guys think???

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

      For reference, daughter is 18 mths old. Was having painful severe constipation with pale stool and blood also bloating (tight extended belly.) Liver and gallbladder are normal. Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
