    I is apheared that Gniki is lost to us, so addicted has she become to the endorphin highs of running that afterwards she just quietly smiles to herself on her endorphin-induced feelgoods.

    Do we need a recruitment drive? Shanghai any glimpses of humour from the regular pages???

    We were informed by a waiter in Italy (very distinguished, about 80 years old) that "With dinner one should drink a little water, and MUCH wine" as he deposited a huge carafe of red wine (not ordered) on our table We followed his advice but then we had to drive back up the hill. Which was the bigger sin -- hubs who had had more wine, or me who was not...

    From my personal eating experience, it was the pasta that got me first -- more concentrated wheat it seemed. No science behind this

    The way I did it, not necessarily recommended, was not at all methodical, and the sequence is set out in my signature block. I had GI problems (cramping and pain) as a child from breakfast cereals (wheat), but outgrew them as a teenager (and also stopped eating cereals, albeit unconsciously, after leaving home.) Up until 1969 I had pretty much a cast...

    What Karen and NorthernElf said. And by the way, welcome to the board!!

    I'd say we've all been pretty damned boring, or far too discreet Lisa, surely you must have got up to some shenanigans in Italy that the local rags saw fit to report! Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

    Hubs is doing dinner tonight - he is going to stuff an acorn squash with sausage and all kinds of vegetables and bake it - yum,yum. He'd better get cracking!

    Patti has been very unqueenly - perhaps Vincent would make a better Queen (whoops, I had just put queeb, sorry, Vincent ) - which fits you better - take yer pick!!

    Oh, crud. Thanks for reminding me. I phorgot to check the page count Who is our queen anyway? She has been laying pretty low methinks.

    I had to stop eating several things before I finally realized I had to quit gluten. First was corn, as in tortillas, chips, etc. Next was pasta - just too much concentrated wheat. Then I started wondering about the wheat along with the corn in Mexican restaurants. But pizza was still my comfort food, so it couldn't be gluten, right??? I think it was...

    Nice, but I don't know how to do him. We could do something like this: [ + + + ] - Nah, that doesn't work. ?? Nah, not that either. Cone on guys, there are creative minds out there. Maybe later in the day when the wine starts to flow.

    Look up the symptoms of celiac disease (and this is just some of them) here: https://www.celiac.com/articles/1106/1/Celiac-Disease-Symptoms/Page1.html print them out and take them to your doctor. He needs some education.

    Indeed there is a relationship. Read here: Open Original Shared Link I come from a family of celiacs and UTI sufferers. My mother, both sisters, me. It is no coincidence. In fact, mine has progressed to the point where it is methycillin resistant and therefore always present, just waiting for a chance to become a nuisance.

    Thanks for that info, Steph.

    Okay, who is creative enough to invent a kharma Reward symbol (must be available to computer idiots) for use in the Psillie pages?

    Healing is hard work for your body and puts many stresses on it, including the need for more rest, which it seems like you really do not have a lot of time for at this time. You make ME feel tired thinking of what you are doing. Be patient with yourself and try to relieve some of your load if you can. Is it possible to finish your masters at a later time...

    ARCHIVED Dr. Visit..positive Experience

    mushroom replied to Roda's topic in Doctors

    They do say that it is better to head off pain, rather than try to treat it once it takes hold. So don't be slow to start taking the pain relievers, tylenol or whatever. I tend to avoid the strong morphine-derived pain relievers because they make me vomit. I have taken Tramadol in the past.

    ARCHIVED Blood Test Issue

    mushroom replied to JKEROUAC's topic in Doctors

    I am sorry you have having all these intestinal blockage issues. It must be very frustrating for you. Perhaps the pill cam will show something that a laparotomy could not. As Peter says, if you have been religiously following a gluten free diet you should by now test negative for gluten antibodies, because they only appear in the presence of gluten...

    Signs of changing of the seasons - no, not the leaves turning color here (they are either just straight out dying or still determinedly green), but the arrival of the godwits in Christchurch after their 7-day fight from Alaska eating their fill out in the river estuary, and the arrival of another kind of bird, a C-17 Globemaster getting ready for the first...

    And I would add, if you are not improving/getting worse and feel you do need to remove something, start with the most likely culprits. For many of us these are the most common allergens - soy, corn, eggs (usually the yolk), peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish. Don't do them all at once - try one at a time.

    Welcome to the board, FlebbyDebby. Did you notice that this post is about 18 months old? I have not seen Woolygimp around for a while so I hope she is feeling better.

    Why did the rooster cross the road?? To find the civkeb.

    Hi Kairyn, and welcome. Your doctor is wrong, if you had not been eating gluten there is a very slim chance that your tests would be positive for celiac. It is normally recommended that you be eating gluten for at least six weeks before testing. So your test results do not tell you whether or not you have celiac disease. To get a proper test you would...
