Hey Nikki:

Your Queen is coming to the Colonies. Jamestown is about two hours away, but I am enjoying the news coverage.

I also think that she is going to visit Virginia Tech, where they have had such tragedies. Looking forward to the visit.

Dear Alison,

Fruit 2-0 is gluten-free, but yeah, it does have Splenda. I know that those things can have neurotoxic effects. I use Sweet'n Low in my coffee everyday. I miss stuff with flavor. I cannot use the purified water from the fridge anymore. Our filter broke. :(

Dear Laura, Patti, and Andrea,

You are all so breathtaking in your wedding pics!

Dear Nantzie,

I cannot wait to see your pics!

Dear MommaGoose,

Hi!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. Today I developed a scratchy throat after eating Cocoa Pebbles with Soy milk. God, please do not tell me I am allergic to soy!

Dear Patti,

I love to clean and organize too! I am good at it! I just wish my parents would keep things that I clean up neat! :angry: You spend two freakin' hours on a drawer for everyone to go screw it up again! It is like "That's it! If you want to keep your fingers, you will not touch anything unless I say so!"

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. Happy 1,000 + pages everyone! :) I SEE YOU RACHEL AND ANDREA!

OMG I am so in Rachelville, I am sitting here in eating peas reading about people eating peas. :lol:

I can't believe I posted on the 1000th page without even knowing it was. :blink:

It is truly amazing, thank you Rachel. :wub: Of course, you couldn't have done it without us. :P:lol::ph34r:

I didn't either.

Adam just emailed me that he's on his way home to take me to work out ... why do you think he thought I was on the computer????

:lol:

Hi Nancy! We'll look forward to seeing some photo's of you if you find any you want to put up. :)

I don't know either and I didn't have time to look at the link the day it was posted, and still haven't gotten around to it.

I got my dad's stuff dropped off last night. Old LP's are part of that so I need to see how much someone will pay for those. Mom said there are still people who collect LP's. Lots of stuff we would have no use for, but the photo's and annuals will be nice. :)

My dad's wife's son is a moving truck driver so he dropped the stuff off on his way through here.

Just thinking about you thinking about your dad. :wub:

WELL

Well blow me if I didn't forget to eat the peas! :lol:

I got so involved in my epsom salt bath I totally forgot the danged peas! I guess it will have to be 1000 sunflower seeds then.

LOVE the wedding pictures Andrea, Patti and Laura!

P.S. Today I developed a scratchy throat after eating Cocoa Pebbles with Soy milk. God, please do not tell me I am allergic to soy!

Oh I hope not, but I'm afraid it affects so many people!

befuddling for me. Harrumph!

:lol: You said befuddling. :lol: You said befuddling and harrumph in the same sentence. :lol:

Hey Everyone,

I don't know if you remember me, but for a little while I chatted with some of you and posted a bit on some of your boards :) I guess I was a resident of Rachelville for a while! I've just been thinking of you guys a lot lately and wondering how you've all been doing. I'd love to hear an update from each of you! Especially those doing bio energetics/accupressure allergy treatments. How's that going? Have you guys been able to introduce new foods? Has anyone discovered anything earth shattering? I really hope all is well with each and every one of you, lord knows you deserve it :)

I was starting to wonder about the peas......is it some new magic Celiac cure-all I haven't heard aobut yet? :o what is with everyone eating peas? and then concluded that I think it is is the need to eat a thousand of something as a celebration of this thread...... :lol:;) I think I eat nearly a thousand sunflower seeds every night, whilst watching silly dancing and singing competitions on TV..... :lol:

:lol: You said befuddling. :lol: You said befuddling and harrumph in the same sentence. :lol:

well yes, yes I did. So happy to entertain you, darling Donna. :)

Hey Peace!!! I was just thinking yesterday that I haven't seen you around the boards much lately! How are YOU doing?

I'm still going to BioSET. We've been finding lots of infection and they've got me on all kinds of detox stuff.

I also had one ART (autonomic response test???--a form of muscle testing) session which I wanted to do so I could see which of mercury or candida was my biggest problem and they actually found that LYME was a problem, so I saw a doctor last week for the blood testing for Lyme. He is also checking for heavy metals, mold and candida I think. He's also checking for thyroid antibodies. That's about the most earth shattering I think, lol.

I haven't been able to introduce any new foods yet, we haven't gotten to foods yet...every week now I think this is the week but they find something else to test me on. :lol: We DID do the wheat panel a couple of weeks ago.

How about you, have you been able to eat anything new...you were so limited the last time you posted!

No, I think it's more like peas are one of the few foods that many of us can actually EAT 1000 of. :lol: I figure it should be easy to eat 1000 sunflower seeds tonight. ;)

Psst--you always entertain me. :P

Thanks! Those feet are my "grandma's". She wasn't really my grandmother, but she thought I was smarter than most of her grandchildren, so I took that and ran with it...she's my grandma, lol. :lol: Behind the giant panda I think is my mom, lol...not sure why she's back there though. :lol:

I KNOW!! holy cow indeed, I'm trying to think of a way to get enough money to fly Patti out here, to clean for me. :lol: oh, wait, guess it would be cheaper to just hire someone, eh? but not NEARLY as much fun as our dear Patti! :)

No peas or sunflower seeds for me. Can't chew the seeds because my back teeth don't touch yet! Peas? Not a favorite ... I only eat them when someone else makes them! But then again, I have a great salad recipe that's a pea salad with red onions. Yum.

Great wedding pictures! I'll have to dig one up ... mine was in 1984 ... I wore a BIG hat! :o:lol: And LOTS of eye makeup! :lol:

Peacenlove girl, I'm going through treatment for Lyme. I don't have any other food sensitivities than gluten, never did, but I've been really sick with the Lyme. I'm finally making some progress here. The fatigue is lifting some, but the other symptoms are still bothering me ... the fatigue was the most disabling though ... today is joint pain and muscle aches, minor fatigue ... would be major fatigue if I was healthy though, it's all a matter of perspective!

Susan, always fun to have you around!

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea). I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. ...

      EMA Result

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done?

      By Seabeemee · Posted

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.
