Picard, if you are still on, what is this heinous test? Do you drink some concoction? Geez, it sounds like a breathilizer test. I hope it works out ok and you are not too sick from it.

I am not really sure, I think it is some sort of breathilizer test. I do need to drink some concoction and be on some sort of really tight diet. Oh well. Still better off knowing what is going on.

Hi MiaMia! I was hoping there would be a love connection with you and, was it Lynne's son? :lol:

Oh, I just couldn't let this one get by!

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

Cissie, signing off.

Way too premature post, but with my new sweet goose picture and my new name. Perhaps, along with my duties as Senator (which is sit on my butt all day, no bribes today) Should I not be on the goose patrol.

AFLAC :D:D:D I love that darn goose.

I agree but with my family hx, if this is the root cause -- I want to intervene now.

Julie -- if you move to CT let me know.

Now who mentioned getting naked -- I must warn you I am a Frenchman :lol::P:D

No problem :D

It's ok, I have to warn you I'm not! :lol:

Ohhh sheeet! Andrea is going to die when she gets back....

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:.

Meredith,

They'll learn soon enough that we are all a little off here. :P

Well you can ask, but she is our Mother Hen you know. I think she would rather listen to Iron Maiden :lol:

Dave, you have to put Town Hottie and Town Troublemaker in your job description.

And Celia where are your astericks???

Boy oh boy.

I leave to have dinner and you guys go south on me.

May I remind you that Rachelville has rules of decorum and dress. Mr. Dave--you at least need a tank top on while working we can't have all the women falling all over themselves (whether it be from laughter or fainting :lol: ). The rest of you, Mother Hen is back on patrol and expects better behavior. :P

Not on your life.....I'm the conservative one here. :o Probably one of many reasons I got dubbed Mother Hen. I take it to mean I'm very protective though. :P

If I had no other choice I'd take that ear shattering music. :P

Do the geese in Rachelville go around yelling AFFLAC?

-Dave

NO EFFIN' AFLAC GEESE!!!!!

If we have the aflac bird I'm moving out of Rachelville.

Don't ask why, too traumatic. A guy and a lot of vodka. I'll leave it at that.

Besides, the AFLAC bird is a DUCK. Geese honk, they don't quack :rolleyes:

(That was a premature post, I'm all caught up now though, as of 8:56pm)

No that would be my parrot! That's what happens when you get a friend to babysit for a week, they teach your bird to say AFFLAC!!!! :lol:

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

It was WONDERFUL!! I had a filet, mashed potatoes Gluten-free Casein-free with olive oil and basil, and asparagus. A couple glasses of shiraz. My daughters had the gluten-free blondie with ice cream on it, but it has casein and soy so I had a glass of champagne for dessert!! :P I'm here, so you know I'm not sick! :D

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I respectfully disagree, @Scott Adams. Thiamine deficiency (and deficiencies in other B vitamins) can cause unintentional weight loss. The body will use stored fat and muscle to provide energy in thiamine deficiency. This results in muscle wasting, fat loss, fatigue, and difficulty putting on muscle mass. Using stored fat and muscle for energy requires...

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      You may know this already, but in addition to what you've described, you may also want to get a genetic test. About 1/3 of people have one of the genetic markers that are necessary (but not sufficient) for getting celiac. If your son is one of the 2/3 of people that don't have the marker then it is almost certain he does not have celiac. (The genetic test...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      That is really interesting, especially because it points to how the gut microbiome may still stay altered in celiac disease even after going gluten-free. The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce...

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I respectfully disagree, @Scott Adams.   Thiamine deficiency (and deficiencies in other B vitamins) can cause unintentional weight loss.  The body will use stored fat and muscle to provide energy in thiamine deficiency.  This results in muscle wasting, fat loss, fatigue, and difficulty putting on muscle mass.  Using stored fat and muscle for energy requires less thiamine than the amount of thiamine required to process carbohydrates.  Thiamine deficiency causes gastrointestinal Beriberi, a localized thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract, which results in dysbiosis, inflammation, and abdominal pain.  Carbohydrates can remain undigested in the intestinal system, which bacteria feed on, encouraging SIBO, and prompting dysbiosis, leaky gut, and inflammation.  Following a low carbohydrate Keto diet, like the AutoImmune Protocol diet, can help because it removes excess carbohydrates that the bacteria feed on.  SIBO can cause weight gain due to inflammational edema of the intestines (water retention in the tissues of the intestines), gas, and slowed transit times.  SIBO bacteria can absorb nutrients from your food before you can, resulting in additional deficiencies of other B vitamins and nutrients.   Thiamine deficiency is corrected with high dose Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine and/or Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  High dose thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  It improves "leaky gut".  High dose Benfotiamine will improve the gut microbiome in favor of beneficial bacteria.  Thiamine TTFD is beneficial for neurological issues.  Thiamine TTFD improves brain function and is beneficial for mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, and other neurological problems like Ataxia and Brain Fog.    Methylated (activated) B Complex vitamins help correct Thiamine deficiency because all eight B vitamins work together.  Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are needed as well.  Minerals like Magnesium, Calcium, Iron,  Potassium, and others may need to be supplemented as well.  Thiamine and Magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.   Supplementing with high doses of Thiamine and other water soluble B vitamins will lower pain and inflammation, improve fatigue, improve muscle mass gain, as well as regulate the intestinal microbiome!  So, @Stegosaurus, you can get healthier while improving gut dysbiosis at the same time!

If your son is one of the 2/3 of people that don't have the marker then it is almost certain he does not have celiac.

The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce it carefully depending on tolerance. It definitely feels like an area worth watching, because anything that could help support healing beyond just avoiding gluten would be valuable.

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with tummy pain, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea still going on. Anxiety can certainly add to gastrointestinal symptoms, but I can see why you would not want to assume that explains everything. It sounds like keeping an eye on things and being cautious with diet changes makes sense, especially if symptoms continue. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
