Lisa,

Its soooo cool to see gators in the wild. Kinda scary too though. :ph34r:

I've never seen an armadillo in the wild!!! Where did you see it?? I'm thinking we dont have those here in Ca....at least I dont think so. :unsure:

Hey:

I was asleep on the outskirts of town and couldn't find anyone! :angry::angry::angry:

The other Rachelville moved here? You gotta tell the town bum, leaf sweeper, tumbleweed catcher :D:D:D

Sorry Tavi....Didnt you see the post-it???

We didnt want to disturb ya....since you were so busy and all. ;)

That's where we honeymooned but the only wild animal I saw there was the one I'd just married!

ROFL :lol:

I did see plenty of armadillos when I lived in Texas-- but heck, that's where they have their World Headquarters.

:lol::lol::lol:

Sometimes guys seem to be more wild than actual wild animals. At least I know one of my brothers are.... he moves more than the most fidgety animal, moves faster than a cheetah, and talks more than a bird....how much more wild can one get???

The purple glittery bats help with cross-pollenating the food stuff in the garden by flapping their wings.

They are that color because Susie is not real fond of bats and doesn't want them in her hair and I think Chelsea wanted them made them that color so they would be obvious. They are trained to stay away from Susie.

Mitch comment: In actuality, they were imported by Meredith when she discovered it was a result of a special mating season between the red bats and the blue bats. :lol: During transport on the high seas the high humidity caused such a stickiness on their bodies. Also, the glittering waters of the pristine ocean near R-ville paradise clung to them, therefore, the bats retained the glitter.

Could not have explained it better myself :lol:

It was too cool, but sad. We were very close to Hilton Head, SC. The development is unbelieveable, the little armidillo (I don't know how to spell it), was about the size of a very large cat and was in the parking lot and there was alot of new ground breaking around his original habitat. I never thought that they would be indiginous to South Carolina, but he sure was there. Kinda cool, but sad.......development is encroaching on wildlife everywhere that developers can make a buck.

Glad to see Rachelville making a new start...........perhaps I can keep up with it, probly so, maybe probly not. I will try to check in when I can. Will Rachelville have spell check? OH, yeah, I am Senator, I can do SOMETHING,...........legislation as stated " I submit a bill that all residence of Rachelville be totaly exempt from any duress, ill inner feelings or concerns about posting any misspelled posts to others, who reside or are visiting entities of Rachelville. A Vote is Called............ Ms Mayor how do you speak?

Got to be the bad buttock tomorrow. Wish I had a job that everyone kisses it. <_<

You know Momma Goose that I am a dingbat at times (really much of the time). I talked to Lynne this past week and said I was so concerned as I had not seen you on the forum for some time. She then told me who you now were. Boy, I will probably find out you have been Momma Goose for a couple of months and I just noticed you were missing for only a couple of weeks. I still have the wedding on my desktop and when I get some more needed energy, I want to go over which one is you. Take care and so glad you are here and have not run away. Hugs.

And thanks for explaining the bats to me.

red bats + blue bats = purple glittery bats :lol:

I love it

Oh...and I needed to mention that the red bats are the males, the blue bats are the females....that's because the males are brighter in color and the females are protected from harm because of the darker color. (Mitch comment)

Oh yeah, paradise R-ville has an elaborate five thousand acre glittery horse farm, so not only do the bats control the mosquito population, they also control the fly population so that the horses don't have to swish their tails. These horses come in a variety of colors and are available for paradise R-ville trail rides. (see the Social Director-Carla and Circle R owner-Andrea for more details about the farm).

lol Now I hope that those bats are quick with eating all those mosquitoes and flies :unsure: . If R-ville is going to be the perfect little town than those species will have to disappear so fast that nobody even saw them. Bat's eat quickly, right? :huh:

Well Mom went to her room before I could even make it to mine. I'm tired though, so the brat will be attending her sleeping festival in the comfort of her own bed. Good night my fellow Rachelville-ians and sleep tight (if you haven't drank too much coffee yet ;) )

Now, now, let's not be perverting the bats....

They evolved to be purple and glittery so that they would distract their predators and so that Susan wouldn't be afraid of them. Both males and females are glittery and purple...You can tell the difference between the two because the females have comical large red lips :P

One bat can eat up to 3,000 mosquitoes a night... :blink:

My name is Susan. I am an Accountant & an Assistant Food Service Director for 41 schools. Oh, I also drag race with my husband. Strange combo, huh? I'll let you decide then what I should be in this town. Ha!

Oh, and yes I got caught up in all those pages. I skimmed through though. I don't know how I would ever have enough time to read it all.

Susan,

Wow, drag racing....sounds too fast for me. :P Did Go Cart for the kidlets in Rachelville and any adults that enjoy that. We can have a safer childrens course and a more challenging adult course if wanted.

Susan W: Treasurer; Food Quality Control; Go Cart track owner/supervisor (With mini golf on the side)

Edit to correct last initial. :P

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By SamAlvi · Posted

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
