...Yes...we do...and in light of all that is being debated in a masterly fashion here, and all of the linguists present (cunning and otherwise), hiding out in shrubbery brief-waving, let's not mention the root of Bev's name...me does think the ice gets just TOO thin here. :lol::lol:

Nikki, is your name Nicole?

So, gluten-filled food is a celiac's pornography...I'm with ya there. There is a LOT of porn out there for me, being diabetic as well. Virtually ALL desserts. In fact, most food is vaguely pornographic for me, now that I ponder it all. I tell ya, going to the grocery store can be quite...exciting... ;):P

It's true--if it weren't for Tom's tendency toward argumentative discourse, he would, we're sure, have found his soul mate by now. That is all you were saying, Carla...what on earth am I missing? <_<

Must go get some....groceries now.....pant pant..

That's her story & she's stickin' to it!

And I do NOT! <yes u do!> Do Not! <uh-huh u do> NOT! <do!> . . . . . ..

At a fantastic groc store here called Sprouts, I got in an impassioned argument w/ the cashier yesterday.

I swear I didn't start it!!

SHE said "how are u?" and I said "Fantastic! How are u today?", and we "argued" about who felt *more* fantastic!! LMAO :lol::lol:

So darn this argumentative nature!! Cuz certainly 10 days of being physically well enough to get de-spinached from the recliner should be enough to find a girlfirend!!

Are we editing or was there an overreaction, perhaps too much AC, depriving a typically heat-addled, baked & braised brain of its RDA of cranial cookery?

Tom's not a moderator ... but come to think of it, he should be, then need more non-Lymie mods here. :) For that matter, you should be, too. :)

Well, I was looking for a guy when I was about 18. :P Met hubby at 18 ... he was the second guy I dated ... dated three guys total. :o

:o:blink: Utterly, gob-smackingly, heartbreakingly inconCEIvable!!!!!! I cna't even COUNT the number of guys I"ve dated......and I don't mean had relationships with - just dated. Because, I've been dating for 30 years, and never been married...... :huh: It's insane, I tell you. I blame it all on GLUTEN-BRAIN. :angry:

So, gluten-filled food is a celiac's pornography...I'm with ya there. There is a LOT of porn out there for me, being diabetic as well. Virtually ALL desserts. In fact, most food is vaguely pornographic for me, now that I ponder it all. I tell ya, going to the grocery store can be quite...exciting... ;):P

:lol: My food-porn lust is ONLY on cooking shows, EXCEPT when I walk through the bread and muffin and cake section at Trader Joe's.....then I get a bit of a stab and stare lustfully at new products I've never had, and never will have....like, for example, they now have Naan bread - - a new thing that stopped me in my tracks for a bit... :(

But all I was saying is that if Tom wasn't always arguing, he'd have found a woman ... how did you take it?

Do we need to delete now that all of us have seen it?

:huh: is Carla teasing us again or did she not say "master debater" quickly to herself? :lol::ph34r:

Okay friends.......TOO MUCH to do today, getting ready for camping!! I am flummoxed by what foodstuffs to bring (I have a whole thread started on this) and I am a wildly disorganized camping packer so......oh dear gawd, this should be interesting. :lol: Good thing I found my camping list......makes things a bit easier. Because, without that, I could easily forget my tent, or a dingo, or something important. :lol:

CARRY ON SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa "Marbles" . . . . .how? It was about "always arguing" or not. :lol:

There's that jar-emptying one-track mind at work, huh? :P

Tom's not a moderator ... but come to think of it, he should be, . . .

Now if THAT's not worth an :lol: I don't know what is!

I'm sure I prefer the freedom to potentially make statements that a moderator shouldn't.

Recently, in a thread about a bs product, a presumably somewhat-young forum member labeled my comments a "bashing" of her(him? Hmmm prob a her).

I refrained from inquiring about just *how new* someone has to be to the internet to keep calling my VERY toned-down comments a "bashing".

Sure a couple jokes poked fun at the foolishness of claiming that a product "works" because "no cc reaction" while admitting there was also most likely no cc to react to, but if she'd gotten a "bashing", it would be abhorringly apparrent. ;)

I doubt I'd have been free to make my point as well as I think any newbie readers need to see it, if I'd had to think "how should a mod put this?". :P

Mmmmm, I've often thought having both conditions must be VERY hard and kind of takes all the fun out of food MORE SO than just celiac disease does. <_<

Do tell, Nikki :D

I can't Patti , for fear of getting busted by double entendre police!!!

Ahhh, Naan bread....still gets hubby all wistful too (although he did experience it in a former life)

Happy camping!! (watch them ticks! :o ....no room for anymore lymies here)

Um, yeah, debating, arguing, whatever.

One track mind ... much to my husband's chagrin, it's not.

Why do you keep calling me Marbles? I don't have any marbles anymore. :rolleyes:

Yes, you can see the mods are really worried about this ... take Bev, for example. Also, you might look up the famous Altoids thread ... where is Karen anyway, she's usually here when there's mention of Altoids.

Nope, that would have been grammatically incorrect ... I thought about using the word "debating" though.

Yup, went out with a guy in high school ... then dated Adam for a month, until I decided he was a pompous @$$ ... went out with another guy for a month ... then a year later back to Adam ... and, yes, he's still an @$$, but he's not pompous.

Anyone else was just a date for a dance type thing.

So, it's equally odd to me to think about having dated so many!

I've often wondered if we CAN look up the Altoids thread, as it was pulled from the forum. Does it still exist in some nether region that we have access to?

Not true, here it is. Open Original Shared Link .... but there seems to be some major editing ... and the link to the Altoids Goddess thread is gone entirely ... so maybe it is just an urban legend now.

Like you've never heard of a giant of a man nicknamed Tiny or Slim? ;)

Don't tell me the opposite type of nickname is just a guy thing!

Now THIS is a strange & funny coincidence. :o I'm driving, w/ radio on, and Phx stations suck like most everywhere else, so I'm on an oldies station.

A certain Elton John hit circa 1972 is rockin' along when I read this Susie post. (At a stoplight! I'm not a moron!)

:o:blink: Utterly, gob-smackingly, heartbreakingly inconCEIvable!!!!!! I can't even COUNT the number of guys I"ve dated......

I'll bet most everyone can fill in the blank.

Song goes:

"Oh lawdy mama! Those Friday nights,

when Susie wore her dresses tight!

More at bottom if anyone dingo-ing what song.

(The 1st part reminds me of the great character in The Princess Bride who had a lisp, or a "lithp".)

"InconTHEivable!!"

:lol: My food-porn lust is ONLY on cooking shows,

Yes. It's only the food-lust that defines the term for me. With all of my slowly-lifting WAYYYYY- beyond-gluten-free restrictions, even gluten-free food is lustworthy. <_<

Okay friends.......TOO MUCH to do today, getting ready for camping!! I am flummoxed by what foodstuffs to bring (I have a whole thread started on this)

I gotta toss a couple Tsk's your way for not mentioning CAMPING!! here before the new thread.

It's been some time since I got to go camping.

I think you'll figure out the food easily enough after writing a few things down.

In the old days, I'd be making sure to have mushroom omelets at some point. Mmmmm, like the one's at Merlin's in Orlando. Nothing like 'em when out in the wilderness. (Back then anyway, no fungus for me now thank u, for all reasons) :ph34r:

******Niiiiiiiii-Coe-Laaaaaa!!!! ******* :P

Curiouser & curiouser about this Altoids thread.

So it's readable but best posts removed? Bah! :angry:

Yeah, I wouldn't even bother checking it out now. Thinking back, I actually can't believe some of the things I was talking about in my posts on that...unforgettable...thread. I also remember my surprise that it was being allowed to go on for as long as it did.

I guess ya just had to be there. 'Cause there sure ain't no way we'd be allowed to rehash it all! :rolleyes:

Yes- I am the board police and you are ALL busted (guess that means i have to bust myself- I'm a crooked mod who accepts bribes!

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
