Carla - silly you, Whole Paycheck is what we call Whole Foods! So you go to Whole Foods/Paycheck and just go to their gluten-free section, get the Sandwich Bread. Be warned, it has eggs and dairy....not a prob for me but I know for many....I will splurge on this as do get sick of the other cardboard I eat.

Washign the car....ugh....mine is currently just a stinky dog kennel on wheels...can't wait until I win the lottery (uh, guess I have to remember to buytickets to win? :huh: ) and I can just hand the keys over to the dogs, and say, here you go girls, the stinky jeep is all yours, knock yourselves out!! And then I can get my nice, clean, civilized hybrid SUV....whatever that will be.....

Okay is a porterhouse a good steak? I think I always buy rib-eye, don't know my cuts of meat very well (only what I learn on Dave Letterman)....

LOL :lol::lol::lol: I didn't know the nickname for Whole Foods, but in my defense, we don't have Whole Foods ... We have Wild Oats.

A t-bone is basically a porterhouse without the tenderloin. It's good, but you don't get the tender part, but with the porterhouse you do. It's a huge, expensive steak!! New York Strip is one of the most flavorful cuts. Filets are more tender but not as tasty. For any more info, you'd have to ask the butcher ... that's all I know!

I have two minis ... one is a Mini Cooper, the other is a mini-van! Adam wanted to replace the mini-van with something else. I told him that I'd hate any car that seats 8, so why waste perfectly good money on a car to haul kids around. He really wanted me to have a new car (he always has had a nice car), so I said to get me a fun car since I hardly drive with all the kids, but it has to have a back seat because I would hardly ever get to drive a two-seater. So, he got me a MINI. I keep it very clean ... the van on the other hand, it's no longer my car, so I never clean it!! But the kids do occasionally.

:blink: Quick drive by--feeling so-so---

Hey, nothing, imho, beats a NY strip steak. Preparation H--omg, I worked for a bit in the fashion industry in college--part-time, no biggie, but the product used then was anusol-the creme-not fishy, lol. I think it would take a truckload the way my eyes look today, lol.

Susan, I used your word when I went into the kitchen a little while ago. Ds was on the phone with one of his buds--I announced, "This kitchen is heinous!" Z says to his friend in his beavis voice--heh, heh, my mom said "heinous", heh, heh, rhymes with anus, lol." Teenagers are so fun....

An embarrassing moment with his brother--I am in the CVS when my oldest was around 14 and he was in another aisle and yells loudly, "Hey, Mom!! Here's the Preparation H you were looking for, and the Depends are over here too!!!" Sheesh. I don't know who they get it from.......... :blink:

Gotta go... maybe back later... Richard, hmmm. I think you are a nut. I like that, lol. :lol:

I think it took 20 minutes to catch up on this thread and that is only since this morning.

I am not going to have Broncobucs take a photo of my hair as I am not going to spike it tomorrow. The length is still new to me and I just played with it this morning for a kind of normal hairdo. I will play with spiking it myself at a later time. I will make sure when I get my haircut in 3 weeks that I take my camera and have her take some photo's with it spiked. My hair is only about 1 1/2" long and that is why I needed to play with it. So, I am sorry you will have to wait to see the old lady with spiked hair.

I only wear a french manicure, but my tips are cream instead of white. I chip nail polish too bad and so that is what my manicurist does. Then it is not noticable if it slightly chips. I really hate chipped nail polish. My toes have no nail polish on them as I cannot bend to take it off if it chips. She gives me a pedicure once a month and I am about the only one she has that uses no polish. If I was wearing nail polish on my toes and hands, it would be matching. I am a type A personality.

What does "premature posting" mean?

so glad to help, Robbin! Heinous is such an excellent word...everyone in my life uses it (and many others, words friends and I made up in jr. high/high school - still in use!)....love the story of your teenage son yelling in the store....I've done that to friends, as a grownup :ph34r:

Anyone else suffering through the news to see the CBS piece on celiac tonight??

was reading on that other thread - am I the only one that likes Katie Couric? :huh: not suffering for me....am alerting many peeps in my life to turn it on....

made an attempt at Bumble Bars.....what a pisser....not so good thus far...they are in a slow oven right now, but, the sesame seeds tasted really bitter when I sampled :angry: we will see how big a debacle this really is (debacle - another favorite and you just can't use it enough IMO :lol: )

What does "premature posting" mean?

GAHHHHH!!! :lol::lol::lol: that is from the OMG thread - - there were always so many pages, and we would get excited and start writing before we had read them all....hence, premature post....there is also a POST-mature post, I think, maybe when something went on pages/days ago and then responding? :P

Robbin--My husband likes to goof around a lot (understatement) and has done the same thing to me! He'll say in a loud voice: Hey Patti--did you forget your Preparation H? Then I get him back with something like: Thanks, did you remember to pick up your ear wax remover? :lol:

It's not that I don't like Katie Couric, it's that I don't like network news.

Carla- But it's even stranger when you're teaching them in the same room you took YOUR freshamn writing class in and now all you can think about is academic stuff. As opposed to back when all I could think about was how cute the graduate student was that was teaching the class. :ph34r:

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.
