Yes, I will admit that I did once train a minnow . . . :lol:

GAHHH!!!! What does it mean when you are doing something totally unrelated to this board and it pops into your head how you should have worded a post!!??!!

This is what I meant to say:

I admit that I did once school a minnow!!!

Here's another serious question . . . are your symptoms for consuming dairy the same as gluten? how 'bout trace amounts?

Morning Sillies!

I am so tired today and yes another dreary days ahead, one of those I can sleep forever days. Hubby is home sick. He went home early from work yesterday and now he didn't come in at all today. Says his stomach is bothering him.

I have read quite a bit about lactose intolerance (not casein), and what I have learned is that yes, the symptoms are similar: gas, bloating, pain.....

trace amounts of dairy - that did not affect me when I was dairy-intolerant, the first few months.....is this about your daughter? How is she doing?

What in hell am I doing up at 5 a.m., talking to you people? :blink:

:lol:

back to bed for a bit more. 'Tis far too egregious an hour to be awake and communicating w/ people.

I think you have to drink the absinthe to "see" the phaeries.

Yes, this is about my trouble-maker . . . I'm doing everything I can to keep the dairy. I've got her on probiotics and I'm treating her as if she is lactose intolerant. No MSG. Really trying to cut the artificial dyes. Took her off of erythromycin (which I never thought she needed). She's on prevacid for acid reflux and it continues to "break through". I will be confessing to the GI today as we have an appointment. Cutting all dairy is my next step . . . praying that we get to add it back later is the step after that.

Amanda, waiting for winter, did you say? :huh: Well then what was all this talk of heinous roads, driving on ice, snow......all of that. Was that imaginary? Were you lying to us? :lol:

Janet - the GI today - - oh I hope he has some brilliant idea for you....... I'm sorry your girl's still struggling......and yes, we MUST pray that dairy can re-enter her life!!!! It does happen. :)

I'm so sleep I don't even know what in hell I'm writing or saying. :blink:

Back to bed sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine are different. It affects my head mostly, I get very congested, sinus infections, head spacyness, and vertigo. I get some "gluten" symptoms too which are usually gastrointestinal, but not as much and not as severe. Trace amounts aren't bad as long as I don't do the trace amounts every day. I think that's why I can do small amounts of sheeps milk once a week. The two times I have knowingly had gluten, I got bad stabbing pains in my abdomin...didn't get that with dairy.

How does one school or train a minnow???? :unsure::lol:

I mean, if it doesn't come naturally is it worth it??

Hmmm, how long has she been gluten-free Janet??

Hubby also (as Susie) had the 'temporary' lactose (NOT Casein) intolerance about 6 months into going gluten-free.

He could tolerate butter and hard cheese so we knew it wasn't a casein thing.

(BTW - I believe sheeps milk products have less casein - feta cheese etc)

The slightest amount gave him worse symptoms than a 'glutening' (he is annoyingly mostly asymptomatic with gluten - it takes a build up for that to effect him)

Symptoms were really bad stomach pains and crashing headaches <_<

Hope you work out what's wrong :)

Did Susie go back to bed??? 5AM!!!!!!! (unheard of :o )

Mad giver of fish kissing catergories that she is :lol:

EDIT!!!!!! Don't want to panic myself but I'm fast approaching 2000 posts..........should I get the mac & wellies out??? :unsure:

I am a winter fan for skiing and watching it through the window...I do not driving on it. Snow is not too bad, ice forget about that....that is a death wish!

This warm weather for two days and then cold again is doing nothing but making us all sick...

It could hit close to 70 tomorrow, I just heard! :o

I was hoping to wear a skirt tomorrow but I hear it is going to rain and that wont be any fun.

I am hoping to hit the slopes with Tammy this weekend! Another Saturday night run. Hopefully the weather doesnt take away all the snow...

Good luck today with the specialist, Janet. DS Jack told me shortly after he started gluten-free eating that it really wasn't a difficult way to eat. We were discussing other food intolerances and allergies, and his eyes suddenly widened in alarm as he said, "Oh! No WAY could I stop eating milky and creamy things!" Kids and milk....

But so many people can reintroduce it, so fingers crossed if that is the route you need to go! :)

I'm so sleep I don't even know what in hell I'm writing or saying. :blink:

Susie, I get exactly the same way when I'm sleepy. And hungry. And wistful. And angry. And attentive. And excited.......gahhhhhh.... :lol:

How odd.....so let me get this straight...you rely on some ancient tradition where a beaveresque type animal forecasts the next 6 weeks weather?? :blink::huh::D

Tom- Nice emoticonage pyramid!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEVER smile in photos- grimace, snap with my teeth, growl, but NEVER smile :lol::D

It seems that while I was MIA (really- no clue where I've been :P but suffice it to say I was FORCED to watch the entire Superbowl- gaaa! TORTURE!) SUSIE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN BED.

Do we know for a FACT that she was really sick? :huh::P

Some funnies from me mum:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it?

:D i LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay.....today - - - my prescription - - - snuggle up w/ John and Lucky - - have some fun drinks - cosmos? Or how about champagne mixed w/ pomegranite juice? Have the cocktails and eat some yummy snacks and look at the GORGEOUS Tom Brady and.......try and pretend that no wretchedness exists in your life........and remember that all of this, too, shall pass.

WHY WHY WHY- why do my doctors not prescribe this? actually, I'd RATHER snuggle with Brett Favre! He's a handsome fella! Tom didn't work out so well on Sunday!

I'm SO behind but it seems as though while I was away Nikki got her COCKLES warmed :lol: :lol:

Actually, while we're on the subject of dairy intolerances, I have a question to add to Janet's: Why is sensitivity/intolerance to gluten potentially life-threatening if not treated (cancers, malabsorption diseases, neurological affects), but lactose intolerance is not? I keep hearing how if one can toleratre the symptoms of LA, it's fine to consume dairy. They both involve an autoimmune response, correct? Bad antibodies floating about?

Hmmmmm.....very un-Silly of me. Should've started a new thread.....

That is very interesting--you should start a thread on it. :)

If an argument breaks out, I had nothing to do with it

Actually, I think that LI doesn't involve an immune response--it's an enzyme that's lacking to digest the dairy properly.

She's been gluten free for 10 months. Her blood test at the 6 month mark was excellent, couldn't ask for better. She was still having breakthrough acid reflux at that time so I didn't think it was cc. I started a thread (and got no answer to the question) asking if you were being cc'd (say on an every two-week basis) would it show up in a tTG reading.

I keep hearing how if one can toleratre the symptoms of LA, it's fine to consume dairy. They both involve an autoimmune response, correct? Bad antibodies floating about?

But is lactose intolerance an autoimmune thing . . . I didn't think so . . . I thought you were missing an enzyme and the result of which causes a stomach ache/GI distress but doesn't particularly due damage . . . I may be totally wrong, that's just what I thought. And as far as a dairy intolerance . . . I think that's a different ballgame . . . Hmmmm, if only someone was going to be visiting a GI soon and could ask some of these questions.

Hmmmmm.....very un-Silly of me. Should've started a new thread.....

Oh Yes, I know I started it . . . hope no one "reports" us for being serious on the silly thread.

Actually I'd like to point out that chronic inflammation anywhere is associated with an incresed risk of cancer. So if you eat dairy and it gives you intestinal troubles, you might want to assume that there is some associated inflammation with it.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By SamAlvi · Posted

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
