Hee! Somehow I can't imagine Pataghumn running his phingers through the hair of anyone named Clive! :lol:

<Ho job> too phunny :P

Late night, last night! I sat watching the returns and then the speeches and didn't get to bed till well after 1. I wanted to take it all in, because no matter how you look at things-- it was one historic night!

Hi Jools!!!!!!

Good Hump Day everyone!

:lol: (again) totally different meaning here :wink:

I seem to have gotten behind here, again, and I think I figured out how that is.....on my free posting time I get sucked into Facebook commenting on pictures and accepting and sending various things and I get lost in an elaborate maze and can't find my way out :lol:

OMG!!!! I KNOW!!!!!

(J, you best NOT check out my new photo album then - you'll be gone for HOURS :lol: )

Susie Q, sorry about your phloough :( I do hope it is just a 24 hr bug and that you feel better upon rising today, so glad you were able to get out there and cast your vote!!

Indeed, I hope our Schmooze is all better!

I know we aren't suppose to talk about politics, but I thought last night was pretty incredible no matter what your party affiliation or political views.

Definitely

Thinking about Amanda and her dad, hope she pops in and gives us an update.

Yes, hoping she gets a chance to let us know if her Dad's surgery goes ahead tomorrow.

GADS :rollingeyes:, had to go back ( :ph34r: ) and re-write me whole post as I'd written it in CAPITAL LETTERS.....and I didn't want you to think I was SHOUTING .....as I'm not a shouty kind of person :meek&mildface:

Ok, not quite as monumentally newsworthy, but today in the UK is (wait.... <ahttps://www.celiac.com/uploads/emoticons/default_unsure.png alt=':unsure:'> maybe just England) is Open Original Shared Linknight or commonly known as bonfire night.

I refuse to buy any fireworks as they are so bloomin' dear, AND are dangerous, AND, Alan hates the noise........so all in all just another day for me lol! (must remember to keep the cats in tonight)

...and can I just say how much I admire Julie's posts, she never forgets a thing, and always addresses all the things I wish I had!!!

Guy Fawkes Day? Phab! Not a big phan of phireworks, meself, so like you, Nik, I'd be stayin' quiet. Perhaps just shouting. :huh:

Amanda! Hope to hear something today . . .. ....

And yes, I am always SO impressed with and happily looking forward to Joooolie's posts. She remembers everything!. . ...And says the most wonderful things. . . . ... :)

Poop in..haven't read up (tsk, tsk) but wanted to say hello!

Angus has been renamed Barkbark Obama in honor of our new president (and his vociferous barking!) :D

Anyone heard from Amanda? Still thinking about her and her dad.

elye Community Regular

OMG. . . . . ....

Once again, solved every single problem in the world whilst sitting in hot tub with drinking girlfriends. Everything except yer phlu, Soooozie, although it was mentioned. My GP buddy stated that NOTHING makes inphluenza disappear. Stress and activity can perhaps prolong it, so please lie on yer couch wif mags, the TV and Weezie. ;)

....Hmmm...everything except the mess in me kitchen. Gad, and dinner will be happening in a couple of hours. Not on my watch, howevah - - I've clearly eaten and drunk too much to be working in any kitchen. :huh::lol:

Um. . . . .we toasted Mr. Guy Fawkes. Thank gawd there were no fireworks within reach, as we may have let them off.

No word from Amanda as yet. . . . .... :(

jerseyangel Proficient

Amanda's dad was probably in surgery for quite a while, so we may not hear from her till tomorrow--at the earliest. I've had them on my mind today, too.

Barkbark Obama--hee! :D

Barkbark Obama--hee! :D

Betcha there will be a plethora of baby Baracks born over the next year. .. . ...

It will be the new 'Michael' or 'Matthew'. . ........

Hi everyone-

a quick breeze by, dad did not surgery today. He was unstable last night and so now the surgery is scheduled for 7am Friday morning. He took a shower today and passed out from the weakness and due to his heart being in such bad condition. So I am at my mom's and watching the little ones...talk to you all later...

tom Contributor

Thx for the news Amanda - you know how we psillies worry about each other's happ'nins.

:wub:

Heading to airport in 90min, so I guess I'd best start packin'! :lol: :phear:

Plenty of time for posting once I'm in Wait Mode there. :)

(again) totally different meaning here :wink:

Well it *could* have that meaning here too, that's why it's so phunny!!!!! If anyone goes there you can just say, "get your mind out of the gutter, twas not what I meant, ya pervert!". :laffyface:

(J, you best NOT check out my new photo album then - you'll be gone for HOURS :lol: )

I checked out the link Nik, thanks (I learn something everyday)!! So do we say, "Happy Guy Fawkes Day!!" or summat??

Can you light a candle and all gather round and pretend its a bonfire? Candles are quiet...and sort of bonfire-ish, well fire-ish anyway :lol:

...and can I just say how much I admire Julie's posts, she never forgets a thing, and always addresses all the things I wish I had!!!

:BLUSHFACE:

Well thank you guys! I must have y'all fooled because with my foggy wee brain I think I phorget lots!!

still sh!t off a cliff by a wherewolf.......but no barphing.........

Yay on the no barphing, but BOO that you still feel like you've been sh!t off a cliff by a werewolf (Patti is SO getting an award for that phrase!)

I have to agree with Patti, the fever and the vomitous action takes a lot out of you so it might take a few days to get back to your old self.

Get lots of rest!! And phluids!

Bugger all I expect

LOL Nik!!!!!!!!!!

Mygawd....is he still with Nikki? She's lookin' rough. .. ....

Ridgewalker Contributor

Hi guys! :D

Had to stop in, I miss you all so much!

I've been job-hunting like crazy... the lack of prospects around here is utterly dismal. I've offered myself up as a volunteer at the boys' school, just for something to do, which will be fun. Also, maybe then the next time a paid position opens up, I'll have a better chance. I'm sure the principal currently thinks I'm a basket case. Between our confrontations a couple years ago, and the drama this year, that dude has not seen me at my best.

Ezra got his cast off last week, and is NOT being careful of his arm at all. :unsure: Orthopedist said it's only 60-70% healed, which surprised me. But he's not having much pain, and so far he hasn't whacked it or slammed it around too much, so... :)

Lucas is a lot more emotionally volatile than he used to be, but is doing relatively ok. He's doing really fantastic in school, and has a lot of friends.

B had a full-out nervous breakdown and is in therapy. He almost lost his job, but saved it by going to part time (child support just got hacked in half.) He now jumps back and forth between wanting me to be his best friend, and treating me like I'm his biggest enemy, who ruined his life. He also goes back and forth between being emotionally unable to handle the kids visiting, and accusing me of keeping them away from him.

It's pretty hideous, but I'm doing ok. Trying to keep all this crap from the kids, so they can just heal. I think I've been mostly successful in that... but they don't really trust him anymore, especially Ezra. They know they can't count on him... which breaks my heart. I wish I could tell them that they can, but I can't- it would be a lie.

We all had a great Halloween- no barphing this year! I hope everyone's doing ok. I saw a message that Amanda's dad is having surgery? I hope he's ok, my thoughts are with you Amanda.

Love you all,

-S.

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.
    • Scott Adams
      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.
    • RMJ
      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
