Gas? I'm staying upwind for sure. :blink:

Soooozeee, we sillies all will work on getting you back in the silly spirit. Or was that silly spirits? Perhaps copious quantities of red wine will work. You can get Jess to be your coach. Just watch out for any ideas about pudding, especially the tapioca variety.

And in these tough economic times, it is important to be efficient. During the 1976 presidential election campaign, President Gerald Ford had this observation on efficiency:

The three-martini lunch is the epitome of American efficiency. Where else can you get an earful, a bellyful and a snootful at the same time?

Cheers!

My favorite quote about alcohol is attributed to W.C. Fields, who was something of an expert on the subject:

Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.

Mornin', All!

Well, I held mine.... .. . . . had three nice glasses of wine at a local club we went to last night where a terrific band was playing. Lots of horns, great vocals.....R and B, Blues, disco, Motown. . . .. ..superb dancin' stuff.

So now I gotta go work the wine off.

What in hell is goin' on? Where is the fray?? :huh:

Soooooozie! Come and visit!

Heheh....Em was having crazy sax last night! :lol: You need to tell us aaaalllll about it! Does sound like you had lots of fun. Seems like it's been ages since we went out to hear music and dance! I wouldn't even know where to go around here.

Aww Psuessle.....lost yer watchmacallits. Maybe you should look under Jess' dog piles (which may be in Pah-tays possesion by now.....not sure). Maybe Ptawwmms hiding them for safekeeping? Gotta be here someplace. I seem to remember reading about lost mojo's here a while back....has anyone figgered out where they go?

Overcast and 68 degrees this am!!! Rain coming..which we really need. I can't believe how dry the ground is. It's amazing that 70 degrees in the house feels so d**m cold. I wear lots of layers. BUT 70 degrees in sunshine is warm enough for T-shirts :lol: Maybe I need to design some type of heat that feels like sunnyshine! (but it has to be cheap to run!) Any ideas out there? :D

Hope you all have a great day today! We're all upright and breathing.....sometimes we have to be grateful for that much :P

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
    • Xravith
      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.
    • trents
      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
    • Scott Adams
      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.    
    • Scott Adams
      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."
