Janet UCLA study! <i smell a new avatar> Jess! Too funny throughout!! :lol: Pass the parcel? Is that like 'pass the buck', in a blame-avoidance manner, wiping away responsibility for ill-conceived gifts? [Aaargh somehow I have an urge to use the 'wiping' in a 'scrapegoat' joke but am stuck thinking it will... -

Sounds so christmas-y, even the football (whew did the Giants ever get a gift!) and the cat. We got a great cat when I was 5. Trees ARE for climbing - indoors/outdoors, whatever, a tree's a tree. Every ornament is potential prey. When the two-legged creatures hold up strings of lights & whine about 'untangling', it's obviously a ploy to get the four... -

ARCHIVED Searching For A Pediatrician
tom replied to alamaz's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Wish I had some info, Amy, but I'm just saying Hi because I grew up next door in Mt. Prospect. Oh wait, I have run into some info. Perhaps you already know, but I saw mention somewhere of a Celiac Support group that meets in ArlHts. Curiously, I think it's the one w/ Park Ridge in the name. I'd bet that some of them know a good Pediatrician. I can... -
ARCHIVED Celiacs And Leaky Gut Syndrome.
tom replied to keylimepie's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
There's a pretty darn good chance that everyone w/ celiac disease has a leaky gut. Those who go gluten-free in time seem to avoid the full leaky-gut syndrome symptoms. One of the newest 'celiac pills' under testing, AT-1001, actually treats the leaky gut. Leaky gut is often accompanied by candida or some other bacterial overgrowth in the gut. It would... -

Hey, take it up w/ the receptionist at that lab decades ago. Things have changed. Geek chic c'est de rigueur.

I should go edit Wikipedia. The TRUTH is that substance P was one of a GROUP of neuropeptides originally thought to be ONE and named substance Z. Further research determined substance Z was a plethora of distinct polypeptides and the most common, abundant one kept the name substance Z. HowEVah! One pesky polypeptide, particulary difficult to differentiate... -
Well I AM of Irish descent, but celiac can happen to ppl of any race. Of course, the chances are higher for those of western euro blood - or is it northwestern? P.S. It's Celiac, not Celiacs.
