Now there is a sound I have not heard in a while, and one which I do NOT miss...

And it's not just a loud cry. It's a piercing scream.

You know when you go to a summer Arts&Crafts festival and a leatherworker is finishing a belt, making the holes for some future belt-owner's girth adjustment?

Well lay my head down and let 'im mallet the awl into my auditory canal and I may be less uncomfortable than being near this little fella's screech. :o

Boy, you guys just take whatever I've got...and sometimes even find it amusing!

:lol: now THERE's an undersell!

Em!! You're a garrr-rone-TEED daily LOL to ME!!!!

Man, I've had a number of in-laws at this time of year just stare at me and quietly leave rooms when I go on as I tend to here.

:lol:

You are so creative (sorry...Kree-AY-tiv), Tom...Who else would have thought of that isolated, perfect situation as a metaphor for your ear discomfort? I know exactly this leatherworking man. Can picture him...long hair, large girth, leather stetson-type hat, couple of interesting tattoos, assessing his customer's waistline while rubbing his bearded chin, awl at the ready... :lol::lol:

Okay, time to go watch my amazing goalie/daughter make some outstanding gloved saves in her game. Gotta sit with MIL (yep, she's arrived...) ;)<_<

Seashells and electrodes, on his head he had put.

A Murphy's Ridge harness had been flung on his back,

Our yeti's returned!! To the World Sillyak...

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you

      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". 
    • trents
      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.
    • trents
      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.
