...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?

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.

: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?

: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:

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.

It may simply show that your gluten-free diet is working. I would ask the doctor to add a clear note to your chart stating that the test was done while you were strictly gluten-free, that you have a long history of dermatitis herpetiformis and strong clinical response to the gluten-free diet, and that celiac disease remains your working diagnosis unless properly reassessed with a supervised gluten challenge, which you may not want or need at this stage. This should help prevent future confusion. It is understandable to feel frustrated, especially after decades of being dismissed, but this may be fixable with a calm conversation and a chart correction rather than changing doctors.

ER Dr was very nice but made it seem as if I was a nut case rater than coming in for real issues calmly explaining its staph! Staph,  by look no blood test, no skin test. No looking in my nose and throat was given a prescription for jock cream and some pills ! I made the mistake of saying Im waiting on Infectious disease. She asked how did I get referral and I said I did it online.The next day I checked the status and it was denied! I did get  a referral to the dermatology office i went to last year that over charged me and did a biopsy on me stating inconclusive! I went to another dermatologist and he stated I should see Infectious disease at place i put in referral. With that I contacted that dermatologist and waiting to see if he thinks dermatology or Infectious disease is the route.I do have appointment for dermatology next week.Until then i did purchase Zahler paraGuard advance intestinal  flora support  from Sprouts. Im also very alarmed that the fact celiac isn't addressed properly infact its downplayed. When I had my son tested for HLA-DQ2 and it came out positive because he is eating everything and he is extremely skinny but he isn't dealing with severe diagestive issues because thats all he knows NOW or yet because he is still young 21.I too didn't know any difference when i was that age because thats all we know.Life changes will get him in latter years im afraid because what im dealing with.That scares me.The specialist we went to was only about congestion he is getting.He is getting congestion because he is eating what he isn't supposed too! Zero talk about celiac and HLA-DQ2 positive. Only talk was he is congested because we live in the Valley! They wanted to do surgery! I did write again to our district leader considering when I did call, the guy stated he knew all about celiac. I really wanted to tell him NO YOU DON'T but held my tongue. For my skin sores the cream given didn't do anything because ive also had in past.Ive been putting liquid vitamin c on it and taking vitamins which is making a little difference just with the last few days of doing.

      I have been Gluten Free for 25 years and havent eaten gluten knowingly during that time.   Such a rocky life, I have had issues since I was 16 when physicians stated I needed to see a psychiatrist. I am now 70 years old. I also had Dermatitis herpetiformis. I had negative tests on biopsy, blood test etc but no doctor mentioned that I needed to do a gluten challenge. I went on an elimination diet and found relief on the Dermatitis within a month. I have no doubt that I am celiac and very sensitive now. Now my issue is that I changed physicians due to retirement and he performed a blood test and included a celiac test. I was very upset because I did not request the test and had not been eating gluten for 25 years. Of course the test was negative.  My question - Will this cause me any issues with health treatment if my records now have that I dont have celiac? I like this physician and I am appalled that he performed the test. (he told me his brother is also celiac).  I feel that we are still living in the dark ages. I dont want to cause problems because I rarely need health treatment since I live a fairly healthy lifestyle.  Since I am at this age and been through so much getting to this point am I being unreasonable for being upset? I am not expecting to see this physician for another 2 months.  Need to know if I can expect issues with future treatments. How can a physician not know about the gluten challenge this day and age?
