MommaGoose, our good friend and respected veteran member of the board, has informed me that she is going to eat worms. So i am starting this thread specifically for those of us who know and love her to cheer her up cuz she needs it. She's gonna kill me, but it'll take her awhile to get here so I've got time.

Goosey- You were one of my biggest supporters when I first joined this board. You were the one who encouraged me to take control of Celiac's and not let it control me when I was afraid to go horse back riding because of gluten.. If not for you, I wouldn't have spent last October riding till mu butt was sore. You rock..... there's no two ways about it and I think it's time for a love fest. :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub::wub:

No, she is not leaving us. But she is down and we have certainly all been there and will be there again. So, what Beverly is saying is that we need to tell Lisa that she is very much loved on this board and that we treasure her for all of her contributions. So, Lisa I am sending MANY HUGS to you and may you wrap yourself in them to give you comfort.

No she is not leaving us but she's bummed and wants to go eat worms:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,

Guess I'll go eat worms,

Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,

Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,

Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,

Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

It's called The Worm Song

Open Original Shared Link Oh .... gotta run... I SEE HER!

Tiffany- You're so funny!

2Boys4Me- I have to admit, I saw the hockey mask and thought of Friday the 13th :ph34r: (which is tomorrow).

MommaGoose- Night night, sleep tight and don't let the worms bite

MommaGoose! CANADA LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't eat worms, they haven't been confirmed gluten free yet...... :P

Got the package today! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Just to let you know: I am making grits casserole tomorrow! Oh, gingerbread halloweeen treats AND the jawbreakers are already all gone! You should have seen the kids' faces, each one having different coloured lips depending on what colour they got! :lol:

Regarding the stuff you sent me, what can I say, except you mean the world to me too and I thank God every single day that he sent me friends like you to carry me through the rough days, so my friend, let me carry you when you need it...... :)

Will call you tomorrow, just got home now from Mom's place. I stocked her up with all kinds of soups and stuff that will be easy to digest. Apparently, the doctor said she might be able to come home tomorrow so I went over and tidied up her place, washed her dishes, laundry etc. Also, I washed out and put away her ashtrays. It has been six days she has been in the hospital and hasn't had a cigarette and we are praying that she won't light up when she gets home. The doctors were really concerned about her CO2 intake, which was only at 88% (she has COPD from being a lifelong smoker). I promised her that if she quit, I would quit along with her..... THAT'S WHEN I'M GONNA NEED PLENTY OF CHEERING ON SO THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN HAVE YOUR MOUTH FULL OF WORMS!!!!!

Hugs, luv ya Darlink!

Isn't there a movie out about a kid that eats worms? I know there's a book about it! MommaGoose, are you gonna eat them fried, boiled, sauteed....? Or you stick a hook in 'em and drop a line in the nearest pit for some bass. A fishfry sounds like more fun than eating worms!

Lisa,

Yes we love you girl....I'm glad you're not leaving us but not so happy that you're eating WORMS....eeek. :P

No more eating worms...no more sad faces. :)

Bev....I never heard this expression before....never heard this song either. I like it....will have to copy it. ;)

Yes, very cute song.....don't think I know that one. Always learning something here.....

Momma Goose - glad you're staying. If simply for the fact that you bring silly jokes and think we're funny on the 40-something thread, you are quite funny yourself, and you add a lot. :)

Pretty sure worms are gluten-free. ;)

See- I told you so :wub::wub::wub:

If I COULD eat worms, they would have to be covered in chocolate, stuufed with peanut butter then put in a Twinkie and deep fried. And that's just not gonna happen!

      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...

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease.

      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 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 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!!!
