Oh yes-- wearing pink tights, no less... with high top chockie taylors.

Theme music for Danny to dance to?

Lisa16 Collaborator

Ooh! I almost forgot the cheerleaders!

What will their uniform be?

Goodness, I'm starting to think we'll be needing a parade..... . . ...

Um, around here somewhere we've stored some care bear floats, marshmallow blasters, a motorized hot tub and Chuck Norris paraphrenalia. ......He, of course, could be the Grand Marshall....him or David Hasselhoff, and neither of them are celiac that we know of, but....well......... . ..um.....hey, why in hell were those two in our last parade, anyways??

:huh:

:lol:

I especially liked the idea of doctors who not only have a few clues....but actually KNOW what they are dealing with, how to deal with it, and all of the factors in, around, between! Yay!!! Maybe even a one-stop-doc-shop ( :D ) for all autoimmune disorders and related issues.

Lots of tranquility gardens (complete with napping areas.....hammocks?). Employers who give lunch hours with time for naps. Community-wide health insurance. Any kind of food you might even dream of having....all gluten free. Hot tubs in every home.

you guys are killin' me :lol: :lol:

jeans with smaller butt cheek space?????????? (I got busted for too many quotes)

:blink: WHOT? some of us GAINED weight with the gluten-free diet, ya know <_< (I was a size 4 all my life, then GAINED 30 pounds - BAH!!!!!!!!) :angry: I NEED the jeans with the booty space

:lol:

:lol: gluten-free building materials

And the tallest building would be IGA tower!

:lol:

Can I propose we purchase an island and a weekly charter plane for vacationing worry free. I live on the US/Canadian border and it's pretty cold much of the year.

:lol: brilliant!

There would be a gluten-free version of Mrs Fields in the malls so we could have freshbaked soft cookies.

Bars would all have gluten-free beers and wine, lots of wine. And gluten-free french fries and chicken tenders and club sandwiches.

*sniff* :lol: can you imagine..........no cc'd fryers.......and all kinds of fried clams, oysters, etc...........

And everything would be "normal" priced

:lol:

"Tropical Sprueville"--hee, hee, hee!! That is precious!

On the beaches, bloated bellies and not so perfect skin would be the norm--no air brushed bods here, I tell you. And in the dance clubs instead of the Hustle or the Bump the favorite dances would be the "shuffle" and the "limp" (for all those achy joints). The state motto would be "Let them eat..Rice!" A soldier would still be called a GI, but with a whole new level of meaning and a sworn oath to protect the people from the unholy grain. ( They won at Glutanomo Bay, remember.) The museum would be full of priceless art, and we would finally know the secret behind Mona Lisa's smile (she passed gas and blamed it on the dog, of course.) Our national anthem would go something like..."For the land of the gluten free, and the home of DH".

dear gawd!!!! Where have you been? we have over 2,000 pages of just this sort of madness going on, and have we seen you, or ANY of you, over there?? nooooooooo................get OVER THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: :lol:

When people want to order food at a restaurant with gluten in it, they have to order off a special menu. And no matter how many questions they ask, they are never really sure if their meal will have gluten in it. Muwahahahahaha!!!!!

<evil smile> bah ha ha ha!!!!!! they will SUFFER!!!!!!!!!!

I kinda think with all the cookies and pizza we will all need hiney jeans!!

All guests will have to go through a comtamination process. Their gluten food will be confiscated and they will be forced to eat gluten-free for their entire stay! Really cuts down on in-law visits!

Students will come from all over the world to attend our D-Free University. The cafeteria will never contaminate anyone and will have the world renowned Chef Dulce baking all their desserts.

hear, hear!!!!!!!!!!

What mascot will we have?

And what will the theme music be?

I think...........a yeti!!!!!!!!!!! (See the Silly Thread for details ;) )

:o

now watch out, or, they are going to think we're......crazy, or sumthin :lol: :lol:

but all of the above is true, really!!! It's all in there ;)

:wub: blissful!!!!!!!!

Whatever song we choose for the cheerleaders, it must have "Doo-doo run, run..." in it...

I think the color brown should be banned. We've washed enough brown skid marks out for a lifetime.

There might not be enough entries for our first parade so we could have a nice pink healthy intestine. You know like the dragon in the Chinese New Year? It could start out all coiled up, then when the "Doo-doo run, run.." starts it can uncoil and dance the length of the whole county!

The cheerleaders could be "the happy villi." Danny duodenum and the Happy Villi!

The trick will be the cheerleader costumes. How do you get them to have happy villi without looking like over-sized condoms? I guess you couldn't use hats with a single villus/um (not sure of singular form) on top.

Love the Chinese new year intestine idea! And it would have hundreds of guys inside-- all wearing tights. I love a guy in tights (I teach 1500/1600 theater for this very reason).

The Parade Marshall can be Dr. Peter Green this year. And we can ahave a float with the celiac queen! It will be sponsored by Scott tissue and there will be lots of guys in tp roll costumes handing out gluten-free candy to little kids (sponsored by ROCK, of course). They will also be wearing tights :-)

We need to make sure we have a Wegmans too--celiac heaven.

Hear, hear!!!!! Where have you hilarious nuts all been???

Doo Doo Run Run....poifect. :lol:

An unfurling, coiling duodenum is fantastic. With bells, cymbals. . . ...bringing good luck to all.......

The costumes could be covered in those soft plastic projectiles like those silly balls you can buy. I think that would work.

How about deely boppers?

Lisa16 Collaborator

Oh yes! Deely bobber on the heads like antennae and costumes made from lots of squiggly balls! But we need a better color.

All the pictures of villi that I have seen show them as kind of a grey-white color.

Not very happy.

Violet villi?? But then they might clash with Danny.

Have been humming the theme song all day! A doo-doo run run, a doo-doo run!

:lol: Yes! All I could think of was those fabric softener balls with all the soft "spikes" sticking out all over!

RiceGuy Collaborator

:lol: The healthy pink dragon is a great idea! Just let's not have it breathing fire, ok?

Some songs might include:

"I'm Still Standing" by Elton John

"Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba (I get knocked down, but I get up again)

"Pressure" by Billy Joel

"It's a Gas" by Alfred E. Neuman

"Like a Rock" by Bob Seger

"Coming Up" by Paul McCartney

"That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

"My Favorite Diseases" by Mike Agranoff

Followed by a speech by "Colon" Powell.

But Scott tissue? I think we could do better than that...

Riceguy, the music is divine! Some of them I didn't know but I looked at them on youtube.

My favorite is the Tubthumping. It captures the heroic nature of our existence.

Do you work in a music store or something?

BTW

What's wrong with Scott tissue? It is about the best out there for certain situations; plus it is a subtle homage to the founder of the board.

I bet you would also like a speech from Cantaeatno W. Rice. The w stands for wheat-- a little known fact.

What about our professional sports teams? The football and baseball stadiums will sell gluten-free Garlic Fries, Mo-jo potatoes, nachos, hot dogs, beer and all the other fun food you eat at a game. The basketball arena will have similar food along with gluten-free, Soy-free teriyaki, dairy-free ice "cream" and gluten-free sub sandwiches.

Yes! love this. In an exaggerated pink colour, methinks

How about deely boppers?

I like this. what are they? :lol:

Oh yes! Deely bobber on the heads like antennae and costumes made from lots of squiggly balls!

this wacky sentence brings me joy! :lol:

oh dear gawd YES to all of this!!!!!!!!

If I have to suffer through some heinous ball game, I WANT some gluten-free yummy treats!!!!!!

AND gluten-free beer, given out freely, thank you very much ;)

And of course we need the yearly (better yet 2ce yearly) community faires! Lots of junky food offerings......candy apples...fried bread dough (my personal favorite)...chicken....sausage roll.. .BBQ pulled pork sandwiches....all of it and no fears of contamination!!!! Rides for the adventurous...games of chance ....rides on Clydesdale horses (I am awed by these animals)...on and on.

A cultural center for the arts....museums, concerts, art/craft shops, sidewalk cafes, spontaneous dancing in the streets among the street musicians (heheh)

ang1e0251 Contributor

We must have a fashion center! But on our runways no pale waifs with bored angry expressions. Our models will have pink cheeks. All the fabrics will look fabulous on less than perfect bodies and even better if the bloat interferes. These fabrics will softly drape and expand from size 6 to 9 months pregnant without notice.

No, but I've always had a deep interest in music, and I collect obscure recordings.

Well, no offense to the board's founder, but the only tissue of that brand I know of is the cheap single-ply stuff. I know they supposedly make better, but haven't seen it.

Kiddies can play safely and learn all their alphabet besides C and D ;)

C and D will no longer be "bad" letters

All school lunches will be gluten-free and every child's birthday party will have gluten-free, dairy free and soy free pizza, cake and ice cream. Our children will never have to ask, "are you sure I can eat this?"

Sniffle, sob, sniffle...yes, and never again having to be asked by the other kids, "But what's wrong with you? Why do you have to eat that?" :( i needz a hug

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me! 
    • Suze046
      That is helpful thank you I hadn’t thought of that!

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes. 
    • Awol cast iron stomach
      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
