Biopsy came back negative. I do not have celiac disease. It's probably IBS. I've been offered pharmaceutical miracles, but am holding off for now to explore alternatives. The doc is ok with this, as my symptoms are not horribly debilitating or bringing about significant loss of quality of life.
While I've supported many political causes and the Democratic Party in general this election cycle, I have only given money to two Congressional campaigns outside my own state. I'm sure everybody reading this knows me well enough to guess that the first has been Dennis Kucinich in Ohio.
The other is Al Franken in Minnesota. He's getting a lot of flack these days, so here, have an interesting article about him. And his books are really good, too.
