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:

Best not to mess with our Cissie :o:lol:

Going to try to walk erect now and get the dingos to the orchard - - lots of staring here....

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.

I try not to overwork my assistant. When I need her she gets bombarded.

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.

Oh . . . . that. Don't we all? Remember your Southern roots, you quick-witted dingbat. It's just a little old 5-round, Smith & Wesson revolver. I call her Lulu, not to be confused with She-of-the-Dangling-Nerve-Lula.

So do they expect you to bow down to the porcelain god or to sit for service? :blink:

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

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Am I nuts?

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
