David Letterman!!!!! Glad you're feeling somewhat better, right on schedule. I'm thinking I'm ~halfway to the silly threshold myself. SJ's free Thursday "Music in the Park" concerts start tonight wooohooo!! 1st 4 are just a block away - called "Music in the OTHER^ Park". But w/ the NBA Finals starting tonight, I'll be doing some... -
ARCHIVED Doctor Thinks I Have Celiac - Odd Symptoms
tom replied to Darkfox021's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The diet IS a test - not guessing. False negatives on the blood tests are almost unbelievably common & numerous studies show this. The genetics aren't yet fully understood. Endoscopies are hit-or-miss. Am I out of line to assume you found a good Dr w/out going through many years of misdiagnosis? Isn't the average time to dx still ~11yrs? -

Well, mine's a lot easier methinks - not a lifestyle change. I'm still way too scared of gluten to take any chances there. Somehow I feel like I know what this is like, but I really can't figure out why I'd think that. Maybe it's just that I've imagined it, wanted it, wondered what a pain it'll be when dating. Right now I just have to go back... -

LOL Em, I *did* notice that Laura's post at the top of this page said post#3777 & member# 5077. Alas, no equations bouncing around my head on a slow brain day. Hey Em, do you stop paying attn to the Stanley Cup once the Sens are out or once it became all USA? Don't both teams have more Canadians than Americans on 'em? (No idea . ..shows how much... -

Sven sounds like a big buff blond masseuse that the ladies of Sillyville would enjoy. We haven't seen Sarah in a few days. Hope she & family are fine.

ARCHIVED Am I Gluten Intolerant?
tom replied to monkey123's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Some ppl have worse symptoms on day 2 or 3 than the day after a glutening. I hope it doesn't get really bad, tho it would be solid proof, it seems. Maybe the symptoms ARE relatively minor for you. But also maybe they'd build if you regularly had gluten. Isn't the "maybe I'm not gluten intolerant?" question wishful thinking? There were symptoms, right... -

I'm all for ya being more reck than reckless, but it's not like you scarfed a bunch of tollhouses or tried a new place w/out talking about gluten-free.

Such d%$#@#$ baggery!!!!! Now MINE says "warn (0%)"!! "Lighthouse D" belongs in the lexicon In the context I'd always seen a$$cracker, it seemed more a combo of a$$hole and the southern usage of cracker, like an ignorant bumpkin. -

ooooooooooo intrigue Yeahhhhhhhh I do wonder about that. First I've got to get back to practicing what I used to preach over on OMG - not having ANYTHING that I'm not positive is 100% safe. Maybe 2 or 3 wks w/out trying any tests of the maybe-or-probably-safe stuff will get me back to happy & silly. Thx for bringing up your thoughts... -

GYAH!!!!!! It's generally safe to assume that the answer to that in Sillyville is "joking" - except in Emily's posts. She's seemingly incapable of even strrrrrrrrettcching the truth. Well I suppose it is possible (and I don't just mean like winning the lottery) I do need to get motivated again. That's right Hammerhead... -
Whoa . ..slow down . ..there are varieties of Puffins that are wheat-free but not gluten-free. (I believe 'malt flavoring' is in those) The Honey Rice version IS gluten-free. Almost everyone has to put that "in a facility" warning on the package. As I've seen someone else explain, no matter how gluten-free my OWN kitchen is, if a kid walked through...

ARCHIVED Gluten/wheat Related Intolerances
tom replied to blondebombshell's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I second what RiceGuy said. Pretty much anything that's called ______ _______ Syndrome, to me, indicates that there's a symptom (or a set of them) that the medical community has no cause to attribute it to. Before x-rays, maybe some broken bones were called "painful limb syndrome". -
