No....it involved religious discussions, I think. that specific thread has been removed. Harumph! I want Vincent back - - I begged him to at least get his mullett-ed self back to 40-something...too much pressure on Richard to sustain ALL the testosterone.........

Too bad! :(

What's going on lately?? :huh:

Happy Birthday Tavi! What's a number anyway - it's all about attitude.

Susan - I live south of Seattle. We used to be considered rural, lots of trees everywhere, everyone has at least 1/3 acre, etc. Weyerhaeuser decided to develop some big chunks of land and flattened everything all around our neighborhood. Six houses to an acre! Huge houses with only 10 feet in between them, 6 feet at the eves (sp?).

Rusla - I agree - I actually feel sorry for the coyotes. They lived in those woods with no problems for longer than we've been here, now they're starving and have no place to go. The problem is that our old neighborhood has big yards and lots of wooded areas so they can hide, so they all came here and are eating cats, chickens and anything else they can find. But they can't have my puppy!

Andrea - at some point I might make a trip down to Lingonberries to find stocking stuffers for my kids. It might be cheaper than paying shipping on things like licorice. I'll combine it with a trip to Centralia to the outlet mall there. It would be fun to meet you!

I missed the thread that Vincent had a problem on - is he gone for good? I hope not.

no.....I have a key to her house, she has called me from teh road to let her dog out....IT IS PERFECT - - a sink/countertop/stove that look as though they've never been used...I think she is appalled by my unfinished projects, doesn't comprehend that creativity works at its own pace.....and me? I work even MORE slowly these days...... :lol: Maybe I'll run over there and give her back her...what's it called....some electric sawing thing - to circumvent her trip to my house...brillinat idea!

Liz - - I LOVE SEATTLE and all environs - tried to move there - 15 years ago applied for teaching job on Bainbridge Island - - OMG - when I drove onto Bainbridge, I literally wept - felt as though I'd come home. Can't explain it - have never felt that anywhere else in such an overwhelming way. Maybe I need to vacation there and find a single man with a fabulous cabin-ish abode...

Bev - what say you? ;):lol:

It's definitely beautiful up here, but we try to tell everyone it rains all the time so too many people don't move here. Well, that hasn't worked, it's getting overcrowded... Anyway, I love Puget Sound and all the islands. Have you ever been to the San Juans? I never get tired of our annual camping trip up there.

I hope you have a very happy Birthday, Tavi! :)

I just popped in briefly....I now have internet, phone, and cable TV! I'm surrounded by boxes but I'll be able to check in every so often. I enjoyed the jokes----I need them right now!

By the way-What is Daily Strength? Numerous people have mentioned it and I don't know what site it is?

Back to boxes....but it feels like home already. Now we just have to find my husband a job so he can move up here...its going to get lonely real quick!

Hope yall have a great day....

Thanks Laura

I just googled daily strength but haven't had any luck getting on the site yet. I think it's a site for daily strength through a christian perspective. I see a few people from this site posting there. I am trying to check it out but can't seem to get through the sign up process

Well, since I don't come to celiac.com very often anymore, Mom keeps me updated on where the good conversations are. I heard that this was the place....I wasn't planning on writing anything though until I saw all the "happy birthdays"

The ish's are confusing me :huh: Do you get an ish if you're not forty, yet you still come on? (And thanks for your Fabul-ish Julie :D )

Yes, Morgan is an ish-ish-ish!! And we do hate her hair -- it's always so ugly :rolleyes: She gets up in the morning and it looks great ... I try to fix mine, and it looks like I just got up.

Thanks Andrea ... I musta done something right .... don't know when that happened! :P

Hi MO!!! Did you have fun with Daddy yesterday????

Do you get an ish if you're not forty, yet you still come on?

Yes, if you're in your thirties, you're an ish ... 20's is an ish-ish. As in 40 ish, ish.

Richard, being a man and not a woman, is woman-ish!! :lol::lol:

I went straight to the dessert...it'd be impossible for me to eat a steak too....my stomach doesn't work that way.

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
