Oracles hugged: Zero :(

Phrezno-ites still loved anyway: One :wub:

POETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥♥♥♥♥

where have you been??????????????????

There is always a hug waiting for you. :)

Well, glad you still love this pathetic Phrezno-ite. :lol: BTW is it phreezing up there? And, you have been awfully quiet lately........ :unsure: Things okay at the store?

Amanda! cleaning up the stove splatters, ugh! I love gas also (stoves, people :lol: >, do not have one, harrumph. You must get your ankle checked out!

But - speaking of stoves - sumfin' quite funny happened today, involving a whole roll of dental floss falling (unbeknownst to me) out of its plastic container and........into the metal burner-thingy under the stove grate.....I have no idea how it got there or how long it had been there. Gads.

so, pretty soon, the noxious smell of burning.........plastic? what? and a small phyre was underway under the burner. I calmly grabbed the tongs and retrieved this burning, unknown, flaming mysterious object that was poisoning the entire 'hood with its stench.

And, it took me about half and hour to figure out what it was, :lol: as it morphed into an unrecognizable globule of........melted and re-solidified hard, blackened plastic. :blink:

tell me, who in HELL has a burning, melted orb of molten dental floss on his or her stove, but ME?

:blink:

:wacko:

:ph34r:

<it was REALLY cool, BTW> :lol:

Susie- your story made me giggle.....I bet it smelled bad! I burned tupperware in the dishwasher a few months ago. A lid fell down and ended up on the coils in the bottom of the dishwasher and when it got to the dry cycle and the coil got hot the plastic began to melt. I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden this petrid smell came upon me....I was scared. It took a few wash cycles to get that smell out of the dishwasher....and it was awhile before all the turquoise plastic was off the coil....I am so paranoid of washing small items now.....

The cat is sitting on the floor staring at me......he does this all the time--I wish I knew what he was thinking!!

:wub: am so excited about the new doggie love!!!!!!

Well sillies - - I have found my dream man.................

BUT HE"S IN A MOVIE. :angry:

I am watching this movie called "Something New" and......it's Simon Baker playing a landscape architect, and he has a golden retriever that goes everywhere with him, and he likes to hike and play in the dirt and he's beautiful and charming, and, :( I am simply devastated, why can't this man exist in REAL LIFE in this gawd-forsaken town?

I can tell he smells really good too. <_<:lol:

I'm excited too about the doggie love!!!!!! I never realized how much I missed having a dog until now, I was just scared I think getting attached to another bundle of fur after losing my last dog like I did.

Simon Baker! Very yummy......he's in a new show I watch called The Mentalist on Tuesdays (my gawd I watch so much tv, somebody slap me!)

:lol:

Gawd Julie--it's almost 11 here and it pheels like 2 in the mornin er sumphin. Been a long day -_-

You have had a very long day, hopefully tomorrow you can sleep past 5 ;)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY FELLOW CANUCKS!!!!

⌂ ⌂

These are all of our houses, nestled closely together, basking in this day of thanks. .. . ..the smell of turkey, ham, sweet potatoes wafting through the neighboUrhood. .. . .....

If you look closely, you'll see the jester lying between the last two houses, the robe wound around him, an empty bottle of port beside him. . .. . .....he just CANNOT be invited to any holiday soirees. Hmm. . . . unless the bugler accompanies him. They are bad for one another, and there is for certain some enabling going on, but in a sick kind of way, they need one another . . . .. ..

:rolleyes:

Hi, Lynne and all you other OBX'ers!! :):)

Hi Lynne!!

Hi Jess-

I bought a couple pairs of pants at Kohl's for 29 a piece- they were Dockers and very stylish- had the boot leg and all. I usually buy at the thrift store but have not had luck for my size or a good fit. I also bought some long sleeve tops at Old Navy and was getting 2 tops for 14 bucks. I got somke tank tops and I can do that layered look. The hospital is not too strict on dress code as long as you have identification on and it is business casual.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY FELLOW CANUCKS!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Emily and Peter and all our other Canadian sillies!!!!! That is my favorite holiday. We go to my moms. This year Landen and Jen will join us. They wont make it home to Michigan for the holidays. So I invited them and they gladly accepted. My mom has an open invitie policy to anyone as well. My sister if she is on police duty will bring her cop friends. It is always fun. Now that we are older and live away we each bring food as well.

Well, I am happy to report that the only Bunnie pellets left at the fair yesterday landed in the potty. I finally got to eat something other than banana bread last night around 9 pm. 36 hrs on nothing but banana bread...... Boy, that was tough. I'm a big protein girl, I eat eggs for breakfast, chicken for lunch, beef for dinner almost daily (with some minor variations!) Goin two days with just bread SUCKED. At least it was fabulously delicious bread. I'd have been screwed if I hadn't made that Thursday. I've now gone twelve hours on solid food without expelling it undigested out the other end. yippeee....... On Friday morning, the one time I tried to eat real food, I saw it again 45 mins later!

I'm being too detailed, aren't I? Sorry.......

Yay for Amanda & Toghm's jobs!

Yay for Juleee's new puppy!

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.

      That's what came immediately to my mind as well, Bell's palsy. And don't assume every medical problem is connected to her celiac disease as there is still something known as coincidence. Get this checked out by medical professionals and push for some serious testing. Don't let them brush you off. Be appropriately assertive.
    • Mnofsinger
      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      It's nice to see celiac-safe options out there for guest homes.

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.
