In the bottom bar, the one that starts with a B, towards the middle is a small green icon. Mouse over it and it will say "Image" click and paste the URL in the box.

He looks looks like an angel, probably not.

 

It's traditional here at Xmas time to cook little cookies and cakes. Last year my wife got a big box full of them from her mother. She came in left them in the lobby and went straight out.

 

Later I was in the office chatting online and could hear a rustling noise, called the dog he came trotting in wagging his tail and all seemed fine. I fed him and went back to the office. Later he came into the office with a smile on his face. Well it looked like a smile so I want to see what he was so happy about. He had eaten the lot, not a crumb left. It must of been 60 or more of these mini cookies and cakes. No wonder he was so happy.

Paul that is so funny!  My parents had a little miniature dachshund who loved human food.  One day my mom cut herself a big slice of chocolate cake, sat down on the couch with it on a napkin and went to take a bite, before it got to her mouth the dog did a superhero move and swiped the whole piece of cake from her.  So if you eat near that dog you have to beware because he will take the food right out of your mouth! :)

This one is usually good around food. The first boxer I had, back in the 60s and also called Rajah wasn't. 

 

One Xmas Mum had cooked a turkey and leg of pork. We had a big family Xmas dinner. while eating we heard a noise in the kitchen so I went to investigate. There was Rajah1 trotting out to the scullery with the leg of porn in his mouth. He had jumped up onto the door handle opened the kitchen door, then up on the counter and he thought roasted leg of pork, was so much better than boiled giblets.

I was 14 and still being dressed by my Mum. LOL

Wolves are a popular dog around here 6 at the show, out neighbour owns 2, 3 doors along there's a black one. and I see lots of them here. Slovakian Wolf Dog, 2/3 the size of a Siberian Wolf. Nice dogs and usually very friendly.

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA.

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      In Addison’s disease, autoimmmune adrenal cortex disease adrenal glands don't make enough cortisol. At 12, it is usually caused by an autoimmune attack. It has a strong genetic link to the HLA-DQ8 gene. After 12 gluten free and 14 years on prednisone for adrenal insufficiency (symptoms like you describe from 1984 until 2014) I recently removed all c...

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal. My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut...

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.

      My bad. I should have reread your first post as for some reason I was thinking your TTG was within normal range. While we are talking about celiac antibody blood work, you might not realize that there is not yet an industry standard rating scale in use for those blood tests so just having a raw number with out the reference scale can be less than helpful, especially when the test results are marginal. But a result of 87.4 is probably out of the normal range and into the positive range for any lab's scale. But back to the question of why your endoscopy/biopsy didn't show damage despite significantly positive TTG. Because they took the trouble to take seven samples, it is not likely they missed damage because of it being patchy. The other possibility is that there hasn't been time for the damage to show up. How long have you been experiencing the symptoms you describe in your first post? Having said all that, there are other medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA values and sometimes they are transient issues. I think it would be wise to ask for another TTG-IGA before the repeat endoscopy to see if it is still high.  Knitty kitty's suggestion of getting genetic testing done is also something to think about. About 35% of the general population will have one or both genes that are markers for the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop celiac disease. So, having a celiac potential gene cannot be used to definitively diagnose celiac disease but it can be realistically used to rule it out if you don't have either of the genes. If your symptoms persist, and all testing is complete and the follow-up endoscopy/biopsy still shows no damage, you should consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. If not celiac disease, you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
