I am more into the commercials that air during the game! ha However, I guess I am going for the Patriots so that they can have a "perfect" season. I think that would be pretty cool.

I'm going to go with the Patriots by 17 pts.

Hubbie is a hard-core Giant's fan.....

So to be a good wife (LOL) I am going to go with Giants by 14 pts.

I am really watching to see Tom Petty at Halftime!

As Eli Manning snubbed the Chargers when they drafted him :angry: and a couple of Patriots are former Chargers B) I guess I'll root for the Patriots. No longer football savvy enough to predict a point spread. :P

tom Contributor

OK I know it's ridiculous but 19-13 Giants came to mind Tuesday.

If I get to make a second based-in-reality guess, I'd say 38-27 Patriots.

I couldn't even begin to come up with a spread, as I never watch sports; but as a good NY'er.... GO GIANTS! ;)

Green12 Enthusiast

So far Paula you are right on the money!!!

Lisa Mentor

The game was so uneventful my company left after 1/2time :o (that's a good thing) :D

Kicking up now!!

Lisa Mentor

The last quarter was a great ball game.

Paula - you came the close, but Tom's early prediction was one point off (19-13=32). Final combined score was 31.

Good game

John is sooo happy! Giant's won!

Very good game, and the last quarter was awesome. Loved the surprise last play Eli had.

I think Eli is a good looking guy.

I had to listen to the game at work and I was happy when the Giants scored the last touchdown that I scared my babies and co workers with my yelling. I am not by far a Giants fan because of the Cowboys, but I was rooting for the Giants and I got my wish. It makes more for an eventfull game for the underdog to bet the best team in America. B)

Watched the first half with hubby with my feet up, dumb or what?? when I was going to the doc mid-game to complain about my swelling ankles!! Anyway, we don't really watch American football anymore, except for the Super Bowl (just to stay in touch), and also, we thought, for the commercials which is always the reason to watch the Super Bowl. We got to see one of the commercials (the sign language one) on Yahoo news, and just as well we did, because we get ESPN lite down here, when instead of showing the commercials they show trailers for upcoming downunder ESPN shows (well--they did make an effort to make them a little more entertaining than usual), but still, it really takes it away. Were glad the Giants beat the Pats; thought Brady was pretty pathetic in the main, and Eli's Houdini act followed by a perfect pass and perfect catch was really the play of the year. The Pats certainly did not look like the best team in America.

John is soo happy they won. I am too! The game was very close.

I thought it was nuts that the Patriots coach stormed off the field with a second to go. Showed his maturity level.

Darn210 Enthusiast

Is it too late for me to make a prediction? I have a darn good guess ready!!

:lol::lol:

Go Giants!!

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

Janet you are so funny!

confused Community Regular

I really loved the game and i was so happy for my hubby, superbowl is hard for him since his mom died 10 yrs ago during it right after the broncos made an touch down, and now that his brother is no longer alive, this was great for him. I also loved the game cause i didnt even have one drink and i ate what i was supposed to and felt great.

The Manning family are great people. Can you imagine the celebration in that family. Great job Eli.

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

The Mannings are wonderful. Did you see when they would show Peyton in the press box, he would stay in the corner. I thought that was cute.

They seem like such down to earth people.

Green12 Enthusiast

I love, love, LOVE Peyton Manning.

Did you hear when the announcers said Eli asked Peyton if he had any advice to give him and Peyton said I think we are past the point of me giving you any advice.

confused Community Regular

I love when one of eli's teammates talked after the game and said eli won the game for us, he is eli manning, he is not peytons little brother so please think of him as who he is, not his brother or his fathers child. Which i loved cause they need to think of him as an individual not another footballs superstars younger brother.

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
    • lalan45
      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.
