Donna, Donna, what?! Only plums off your trees to eat? Geez, someone get that girl some food!!

Okay that was after two pieces of chicken, a whole bag of organic veggies and an apple...but I WAS STILL hungry, lol. Gee, I wonder why I have 10 extra pounds on right now. :lol::ph34r:

So glad to be back on here tonight. This is dinner conversation: Me: So, did anything interesting happen today? Dh: Well, I had pepper steak for lunch. Me: Nothing else ? Dh: Oh, yeah, this was weird, the cashier asked me if I wanted a five or five ones for change! I thought, well it doesn't matter, so I told her a five. Geez. Me: Wow, Honey, you really like to live on the edge. Ds: You two are soooo nuts. I am so excited, I almost fell off my chair. I literally am falling..ASLEEP here. :lol:

So, you see why I love Rachelville so much!!!!

OH GAWWWWDDD!!!! :lol:

Our distinguished president has called for a time out, and I'm happy to oblige.

Besides, I have to get dressed for a wedding.

Good night, fellow lunatics. Sleep well.

I don't post much on this thread, but it takes me SEVERAL times a day to catch up with the postings. It looks like "The Dave" has been entrapped with Rachelville and he also does not want to miss anything.

Rachel, my compounding pharmacy is able to make me the RX, but the ingred is on back order and they hope to get it this week. Can't wait to start it. Is it still helping you.

:) Mango/Meredith I see you!!! Where are the koalas? I really need to know --Is it true that they smell like cough drops? Hey, look we have a village idiot-meet The Dave, lol

Sorry, I'm posting. I can't help it. This is really bad. I have a job for the next week that basically involves me, in a room by myself, with a big computer, a set of instructions, and...oh no...internet access! Don't worry though, I'm very skilled at hanging out in Rachelville while simultaneously getting work done :ph34r:

Okay I should sign off for a bit before they all start wondering why I'm laughing in here. :ph34r:.

Ummm...we already have one of those rooms....for you know..anyone that might get a little "wacky". Julie and I decided it was a must for Rachelville in light of recent events. The room is padded and also contains a straightjacket...although I think the straightjacket is currecntly occupied by Miss Karen...until the full moon has passed. ;)

ahem, yes...our fabulous auxigro protective geese weren't on their guards.

Good luck Carla eating out at Maggianos, lucky you- yum! I hear they are great about celiacs. Tell us all about it tomorrow.

I'm feeling a little sentimental, maybe it's the moon.......probably cause I'm PMSing.

:ph34r: too much information....

No, dear city boy, our geese are very well-mannered. But I have seen a duck going around yelling AFFLAC on tv. :P:P:P

You mean the Court Jester - I mean the Village Idiot? He's too cute to be labelled an idiot!

Can he maybe be the town firefighter? Or the town "shirtless construction worker"? ;)

The naked thing was Karen's idea... I think that's why she's in a straight jacket right now....

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
