Ice cream making things better / More engagements and RSVP / Celiac sprue and gluten

Dawn says she can't make it on Thursday. Just learned that Emily is engaged to Mike now, too. More weddings! :P I had some of my free Foremost ice cream - yum, Neapolitan! (which Corey corrupted into "nipple," OF COURSE!) Wasn't feeling so emo after that, haha. Also talked to James R. for a while, so that was good.

Christon officially did an RSVP, and Mike thanked me for the congratulations while saying he couldn't make it. Hey, I understand if he's very busy that night! Billie says she'll be later than expected to my place on Thursday, since she now has an afternoon class. That should be fine as long as she has enough time and money to use her anime coupon, since university textbooks are RIDICULOUSLY expensive! We'll meet at the anime store at about 4.


Poo nugget for Wednesday, September 16: Dr. Stool Says - Glutton for Gluten - Celiac sprue, an intolerance to gluten-containing foods, can cause persistent Soft Serve Poo symptoms. Gluten is a component of grains such as wheat, rye, and barley. Ingestion by susceptible individuals causes an immune reaction that damages the small intestine. Crampy abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, and the eventual development of an iron deficiency are common adult manifestations of this condition. Diagnosis can be made by blood tests and upper endoscopy. An upper endoscopy is an exam in which a tube with a camera is inserted via the mouth into the stomach. Treatment requires the elimination of all gluten from one's diet.
