I had a very timely minor freakout last night. :ph34r: HR Pufnstuf was on "My Name is Earl"!!! :lol: (YES! The Real Deal!)

Anyone else watch Earl? :unsure:

I believe that it is on at the same time as Grey's Anatomy . . . so I believe the majority of the female contingent will say no. I do watch it when Grey's in reruns, though . . .

HR Pufnstuf (is that really how you spell it? that doesn't look right.) was also sketched into South Park last night or the night before. I normally blow right by that but HR caught my eye.

I need some help from either Susie or Richard or possibly an optician . . . Is that suppose to be sushi on MM's belly? And what is CarrotTop eating/drinking?

And Richard, I knew it was you!!! Either that or once again . . . Emily's dad.

this is absolutely correct. Except here, Gray's is on at the same time as The Office....VERY sad. :angry: But Gray's is really bugging me.......George and Izzy - - AS IF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um.......the elusive Richard ONCE put his photo up. 'Tis not he, in the center square......I remember. ;)

TOM - should you be living in a BUBBLE for pete's sake? :unsure: Like George Costana's Bubble Boy friend? :lol:

go to www.wegmans.com and send them an email.

It's in the NY,PA and NJ area. Not a big chain at all. Family run place. Neat though. Patti is right when she says celiac heaven.

I really like Earl--we've been TiVo'ing it along with 30 Rock since Grey's is on opposite.

I'm leaning towards doing it the other way around cuz I agree that Grey's isn't as good as last year. I actually said that to Mark last night.

Mad Men, on the other hand--I think that's my new favorite show :) Susie, if you ever allow yourself expanded cable--you'd LOVE it! The season finale was on last night--it dosen't come back till June '08 :angry:

Agreed! And the George & Izzy story is the ONLY story they really got going . . .

OK - all you slackers who have not added your pleas to the Green Guy Emoticon thread need to get your A$$E$ over there and jump on the bandwagon . . . otherwise, when Scott makes it available, YOU don't get to use it!!!

I'm off to run errands!

Earl is on an hour earlier than Grey's.

It's The Office that loses its female fanbase. ;)

He sure is! He's a new addition to the cast this year, a mysterious (possibly on the verge of being creepy) gynecologist.

I used to watch him on OLTL and then on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

OK - all you slackers who have not added your pleas to the Green Guy Emoticon thread need to get your A$$E$ over there and jump on the bandwagon .

Ok I will go check it out!

must go look up "lemurs" in the dictionary :lol:

go to www.wegmans.com and send them an email.

Thanks! Sounds like a really great place. Doubtful they will expand and come out west.....

Do I sense a partial re-mojofication in Dingoland?

      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!
