What a great show last night. So many singers I haven't seen in a long time. They all sound great and everyone looked like they were having fun. Its great that AI is a show enjoyed by people of all ages. There aren't many shows you can watch with your kids and you both enjoy it. I wish it wouldn't end but it did along with everything else. :angry: :angry:

I'm glad Jordin won ;) Yeah Jordin. Well nice to have met all those who contributed to this thread, its been fun. Have a nice long weekend and blueeyedmanda remember the baby can't stay. hehe Give her a kiss for me.

Thanks Gail,

It was hard saying good bye to the baby, I was off to a dentist appointment and normally I would dread it but I got my braces off today! I got them when I was 22. I wanted to fix a couple crooked teeth. Boy am I happy I did. It feels great without them too. :):):)

So, what shows do all of you watch regularly (if any)? We watch House and that's about it now that Idol is over.

Ooohhhh... We should start another House thread. This time we should keep it going though. It's such a great show. We just started watching a few months ago. LOVE IT!!! We're also currently watching season 1 on DVD and catching up on old ones on USA. Ha. How many seasons are there?

I'm not sure how many...I know a few months ago my friend and I went on a cruise and she brought some DVDs--not sure which season...I watched a few episodes then. She offered to send me another season to watch...but I said no. (I think I'll just change my mind and ask her to let me borrow them, lol).

It comes on a couple of times a week here at 8:00 (so I think I'm not seeing the current season), so I started watching cuz there wasn't much else on. Kind of got hooked cuz my medical journey has been a weird ride and the show reminds me of that. :P:lol:

I tried watching the show So you think you can dance and turned it off after 5 min. I'm not a big t.v. person although I like watching it, there are few shows that hold my interest. I like House though, but don't always get the chance to watch it.

I like the sit coms because they're only a half hour and I'm always looking for a laugh.

Mandy my sister just got her braces off and she's 45. Its never to late. She's eating all the foods she missed eating for two years. She likes gummy worms and ate them for a week .. yuck.

Thanks Everyone!! I have to say it is so nice to have them off too. Semi-uncomfortable process of taking them off but well worth it. I am so pleased at how my teeth look now.

John and I love friends and Sex and the City. We actually have the DVD sets to both.

Argh... Well, House's season finale is Tuesday, so I guess we can't start a new thread about House. I don't really watch anything else. At least not this time of the year. Everything I watch is ending or over for the year. :(

Amanda, you need to post a new avatar with your big, toothy, braceless grin! :)

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ekelsay · Posted

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
