OMG guys, you should hear my stomach right now..... Has any of you ever cleared a drain and once it's cleared, you get the GLUB, GLUB, GLUB sound as the water is going down the drain? That is my stomach right now, you can hear it in the next room! Yep, the night has just begun..... <_<

That's why my little ol' mother quit going to church. :P:P:P

Good Googly Moogly ---

Anyone every have Hydrogen breath tests for baterial overgrowth and/or lactose intolerance?

These do not sound like fun! I think I am going to be spinached and pulling a Dave all at once. The testing service just warned me I may be visiting the porcelain god after both tests. :(:blink::o

Picard,

I've not had those tests--and they sound like no fun at all!

At least if you have an idea of what to expect, you won't worry that somethings gone wrong. Who knows, you may not have a bad reaction at all--think positive! ;)

Another Premature Post:

Dear Dave (The),

We welcome you with open arms, and you ridicule the ferocity of our geese? I, in my role of Minister of Defense in charge of our miraculous, protective, Auxigro-detecting geese, deem it advisable to caution you thusly: Tiptoe lightly through our Rachelvillian tulips. The geese and I are ordinarily peaceful inhabitants. Don't make us have to hurt you! :ph34r:

Sorry. I have heard on Iron Maiden...back in the 80's right. Did they sing We Are the Champions? I liked that song. Now you won't get any important work done because the song lyrics might interrupt your dictation to the overworked legal secretaries. :P Work, what work! Right!

Have a nice walk Susan. I don't know a thing about plasma. I'm running back and forth playing wegits with the kids and reading this thread. It's lunch time for them, a break. Seth should be up soon looking for his lunch. He's on apple/blueberry now. Oh the fun of introducing food. So far he likes everything, but hasn't had much yet since he's only been on solids for a little over a month.

I think Queen did "We are the Champions". I am drafting a motion right now and doing some research. Music makes it go by a little faster.

Yep, you're right. What was I thinking! :o I don't remember if I listened to Iron Maiden or not. That was in my "I'll listen to the music you like" as far as my current love interest at the time. My friend was into a lot of hard rock/heavy metal stuff. I'm trying to remember my favorite at the time. I was an old Styx fan but don't like any of that music anymore. I was more into soft rock I guess. I forget all the music names. I won't bore you guys with who I liked. I'd probably get laughed out of town. :unsure: My music tastes have totally changed and my current likes would be to mellow for most if not all of you. Simple says a lot.

I listened to a lot of different types of music everything from punk (Seven Seconds, husker Du, DK), hard rock/heavy metal (Maiden, Judas Priest, Quiet Riot), country (Garth Brooks, Alabama), to stuff like New Order, Bauhaus, Aztec Camera. I just like music and i admit what I listen to is a direct reflection fo my mood at the time.

At least you get paid for plasma. I couldn't do it after the second tim (when I was in college) because some "wierd antibodies" came back in my blood. I guess they don't want abnormally high IgG levels, as I later found out they were in the celiac disease test.

If you have any antibodies floating around, they won't let you do it, so I guess it depends on what your blood panel looks like. Worth a shot!!

:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

Blasphemy!!!

At least you realized your error :)

My favorite queen song is Under Pressure with David Bowie. It's probably #2 in my favorite songs of all time. The first being Free Bird. Man, am I a traitor to my generation or what :P

EDIT: After re-reading, I figured out that someone might think I thought those two songs were by Queen. No worries, I know the difference between Queen and Skynyrd :P

Picard - - an attorney who is a thoughtful boss - - -a rarity, I will tell you - worked in two law firms myself throughout college (one was my dad's, about 60 attorneys at that time - - too much exposure to lawyers in my past :blink: ) but they do rely heavily on a good secty, that's for sure....

having a hard time picturing our Mother Hen listening to Iron Maiden.... :lol::lol:

I'll tell you what, my music tastes would get ME laughed out of town, except by perhaps cissie - -

Bluegrass, American roots music (I went from Celtic to that), OLD country (Cash especially, Willie Nelson and Emmylou), and then NIck Drake (British and no longer living), crazy old English Beat and ska, from college- - there's normal stuff too (Seal - my deep love - U2, Beatles, Peter Gabriel) and some Christian music......but everybody but my bro hates my old crazy stuff with fiddles and Appalachian crooners - - - -

Fiddle-Faddle, DID I MENTION I SING????? actually come from a family of beautiful Welsh tenors, I"m the only female who can sing....have a trainable voice and sing harmony in the car, constantly..... :lol::lol::lol:

Plasma - - they take your blood out, remove the plasma, then put the blood back in. Should be okay. I'm just happy to not be a Donor REject - - was anemic for my whole life, until now..... :rolleyes:

My favorite queen song is Under Pressure with David Bowie. It's probably #2 in my favorite songs of all time. The first being Free Bird. Man, am I a traitor to my generation or what :P

THIS SONG MAKES ME CRAZY!!!! in a good way, of course. How brilliant that song is!! Number one fave song of all time - -

Deep Water by Seal - - not a happy song though - - - got me through a vey dark time, that first Seal album.....

I will have to say my #1 song is from Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill. Great sound, great imagery. A close second is a David Bowie song -- Changes.

If it were not for my assistant -- she has been at this for longer than I care to think about (and longer than I ahve been practicing) -- I would be outright lost.

Treat your help very good and you will reap the benefits

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
