Sillies--I ate way too much pizza :huh: It was so good, I couldn't stop As if that wasn't bad enough, I topped it off wif homemade rice pudding. I'm very uncomfortable right now.

YUM!!!!!!! this is what I would do, and then would feel positively VOMITIOUS for quite a while. :lol:

Not sick--just stuffed.......had to change into me big fluffy robe--jeans got too tight

:o Paddeigh - OMG. the MOST alarming thing about this sentence is that........you were STILL in your jeans at - well, you're three hours ahead, so, must have been around 10 pm when you changed into your phluphy robe???????????

:blink:

simply inconceivable to me. I just HATE constrictive clothing..........jeans are like a straightjacket - wear them in public, of course, but the MILLISECOND I get home - - any type of clothing is IMMEDIATELY changed into sweats or pj's or some long, flowing summer gown, period. To have jeans on at home is just.........a particular version of hell, in my opinion.

:lol:

I would wear sweats/pluphy robe/pj's/boxer shorts every single day of my life, all day long and in public, if I could. :ph34r:

One reason I love my new job: have gone in unshowered at least once, and in sweats a few times :ph34r:

No reason a'tall to even TRY and look cute there :lol:

everyone is trick-or-treating! Or - scaring the poor participants (i.e. Bev - - nekkid, smeared with chocolate, pheverish, wearing metallic eyelashes and in a violent herx :o )

night-night sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taking my Toblerone bar to bed now...........

my two favorite shows coming up:

Wife Swap :lol: (a phreak show)

The Ex List (adorable)

When are you meeting up with Em tomorrow?

We are planning on 12:30, but I am waiting to hear about the fairy ferry'schedule, so it is a bit phluid. Transportation logistics turned out to be a challenge, so we are going to meet at Open Original Shared Link on Bayview instead of at the store. A long, leisurely gluten-free lunch is planned. :P:) We wish all the sillies could be there, but I think a party that large would overwhelm the place. :(

OMG - Wife Swap is unbelievably phabulous :lol:

a white/American Rastafarian family living in Florida, $3 in their bank account, four dread-locked little kids who all sleep in one bed, a dad who plays in a band for a living, and........days decided by who feels what whim..........

versus

Marine Corps father and wife/family in a sterile, military home in Texas who assign all chores on a coloUr-coded spreadsheet <shudder>

this wife has never heard of Jah or Rastafarianism, and she is extremely askeert

:lol: :lol:

pure, catastrophic, clashing joy

So what do all these mean, and what results mean positive?

The total IgA measures your ability to make IgA antibodies. The IgA test is not a test for Celiac. However, if you are IgA deficient, it means that the IgA based tests are pretty unreliable, and you could have Celiac, and not test positive for it. Also, IgA deficiency is more common in Celiacs than the general population.

If you are IgA deficient, they can run the tTG or EMA via IgG (which is not affected by IgA deficiency)

Of the other four tests, none are perfect. The tTG IgA and EMA IgA are newer tests. Some doctors don't use the AGA tests anymore as they are not as sensitive or specific.

If someone tests strongly positive on the tTG or EMA, its pretty likely they have Celiac. Some people have Celiac and don't test positive on any of the tests, as the severity of damage in the intestines seems to be correlated with some of the bloodwork (meaning, more patchy/less severe/beginning stages of Celiac may not test positive via bloodwork)

Open Original Shared Link has good info on testing.

Next step is often the biopsy - depends on the doctor, tests results, symptoms, etc.

Also, taking gluten out of someone's diet, as you know, and having improved symptoms doesn't diagnose Celiac, but ---- it does take away the symptoms.

Anyone needs to keep eating gluten before testing.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
