How are you today?

A little better today. Hubby got home early, and I slept from like 4:30 till midnight. Then got up with Ez, who is throwing up mucous again. :( Gonna take him back to the doc again today. Then I went back to sleep at about 3, and got a couple more hours before having to get Luke ready for school. So all that sleep helped!

Is Scott Irish?

Patti - I agree with the George/Izzy scenario - perhaps the writer's listened to public opinion and decided it was best to keep them as friends!

I actually think the Celiac-green is kind of spiffy, but I am also having trouble with the change. Things aren't where I expect them to be, and it makes my eyes cross!

Speaking of Celiac-green, we reeeeally need to band together and organize something in the way of Celiac awareness. You know, all those basics that all the OTHER diseases have. Little rubber bracelets, car magnets in the shape of a ribbon, bumper stickers, ribbons, t-shirts, all that stuff.

In fact, we should get Scott to make a new forum for Activism, too.

Our thread is hopping this morning, I logged in at 8- then I gabbed with my coworkers since we all get in at 8, we went downstairs for dirnks and water, it is now 8:30 and I missed quite a few posts. Wow!

Patti- how are the closets today?

Yep--sleep sure helps! Glad you got some shut-eye last night :D

Poor Ez :( Good luck at the doc today.

Julie knew about the greenness because Julie was on last night when the color change took place! And form that point on, things would never be the same.......

Julie does not like change either :(

Good Morning all. The dealie in my avatar is how to do an array (look at all the genes you are using all on one piece of glass). I've been so busy planning and executing a bunch of experiments that it didn't hit me until yesterday that I have to do 700 of those.

700

It's inconceivable at the moment.

My friend went to Kenya to work in an HIV lab. She'll be there for two years at least and if they like it they'll stay longer. What a fabulous experience for the kids. As one of them said "Dad, we ARE the Discovery channel!"

My brain is unbelievably toasted. The lab had a gluten free bday celebration for me yesterday and I ate more dairy and grains and whatever than I have in a very long time. No sleep. Entire body feels swollen. And I have to prepare an intelligent report for someone. Thank heavens there's no math today.

Or quinoa stuffing.

Where is that danged yeti when I need him?

Ah,....he's over at mine....sharing slow cooker tips and recipes (hubby bought one half price - what a coup!)

We (hubby, me, yeti) are just going through the info booklet now.

Good luck with the 700 gene thingy..wotsits :blink:

Bah to the 'new look' forum!!

Av captions don't even come up on the same SCREEN as the av now for me!!

Awesome idea!!

But I have too little faith in being able to edumacate the public when MDs are still so clueless.

This one, near honeymoon-land btw, seems to think it's only a "disorder of malabsorption".

<tom's quite sure his problems went a tad beyond that>

"Dad, we ARE the Discovery channel!"

:lol::) Isn't it impossible to picture this and NOT smile and/or chuckle?? :)

Man, do I hate this new look. Difficult to decipher when one person's post ends and the next guy's begins...our av captions are no longer under the av...

Scott, why did ye do this? He's probably Scottish.....I would prefer the Adams tartan than this! :blink:

I still think it was our constant green subject matter... :lol:

I said I wanted a GREEN EMOTICON GUY . . . not everything green but an emoticon guy!!!

Don't like the layout - captions NEED to be under the av. The print seems to be less black . . . is that a figment of my imagination? Is that just because of all the green background? ('Cause my eyes do look blue-er when I'm wearing blue.)

Not a decent vegetable or fruit in the house - must go do some produce shopping - and it won't be green!!

Wow--it's very windy here, and cold, but no snow yet. The sky is getting dark, though, so maybe....

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
