Nikerler!! So great to hear that Pson of Psilly is starving and chatting non-stop!! All great signs. . . . . ... :):)

Um........do you think that we can lobby for a National Anal Glands Expression Day? :lol:

Mygawd, Sooozie!! You haven't heard of Canada's "Expression of Love: Anal Gland Care Day"?? Verrrrrry big up here. .... . .....devoted dog owners gather on Parliament Hill with their impacted pooches every March 1st, and on queue, have a group Canadian Expression (quite unlike other Canuck expressions, such as "toque" and "washroom")...... . ..

:lol::rolleyes:

Really, you should get a movement like this started down there, Soooozie.

I think your new president might be open to looking at this. . . . . . . .

now coming up with ideas for even more fun days......A task I am up to par on!!!

Glad to hear Al is doing well.

The computer war has been won!!! I sent my boss after her this morning :) My boss told me she doesnt think the woman is the sharpest knife in the drawer ;) Love it!

I had my annual employee health visit this morning- got my annual TB test....which thankfully is barely visible as we speak (last year it rashed up and was raised....I was scared) I also got a pertusis vaccine....turns out Whooping Cough is becoming an issue again and the hospital was offering the free Tetanus vaccine to all employees and I figured what the heck might as well....2 of my coworkers kids have had whopping cough in the last few months....so got the shot and boy is my arm sore!!!!!

I initially thought that I wouldn't PM Scott . . . thought he might be innundated wif "What's wrong wif me av?" messages and then it donned/dawned (anybody else remember that conversation?? tom??) on me . . . Does anyone change their avs besides us??? Certainly not wif the same phrequency!!!

man heads are gonna roll......... :huh:

<chuckle-chuckle>

Just back from the hospital - all went well with Al's leg op

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :) :)

OH, and NARY a scrap of gluten-freeness available on the day care unit......they kept trying to force a cheese sandwich on him :rolleyes:

:angry: .. ...somehow expected this to be better 'cross the pond, like so many other things, even if only incrementally so.

I think I forgot to mention months ago that I saw an article that the official UK Health Ministry(?) position on IBS was being changed to "hey let's check for celiac". That feels lightyears ahead of the US.

Or National Dangling Member Appreciation Day!!!!!

:o

Isn't that supposed to be every day?

Or is that the Not-So-Dangling? :confusednowface:

The computer war has been won!!!

Woohooooo .. . . Henceforth Nov 19th is National Computing Armistice Day!!!

Hope you're tucked in for the long haul, baby! Tis only November. February's always the worst, for me. I'm just so DONE by then. I wish I had a job where I could migrate.

Hehehehe Yes :lol: . ...in my defense, it WAS quite the coincidence that I'd heard of "donned" only from a phellow Hoosier.

<russian accent> there is no magnitude of coincidences

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      By trents · Posted

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be sure to carefully check labels for any wheat warnings, thoroughly rinse lentils and beans before cooking, and consider contacting the manufacturer directly to ask about their gluten testing protocols. Many in our community have found that investing in certified gluten-free brands gives them greater peace of mind and helps avoid accidental gluten exposure, especially for higher-risk items like flours.
