So anyway....I need to go out and get a few things (cards, groceries) and it's pouring. It literally never rains here, and the one day I have things to do, the sky opens up :o

Well, I guess we do need the water..... :rolleyes:

Summeresque :rolleyes: Sounds so romantically European :rolleyes: <sigh>

Hee! So I go to the store between the raindrops. I'm thinking this is actually the way to go since at least there's no blazing sun to contend wif. I'm pheeling pretty good enjoying the sultry but bearable air, and as I get to the car, trying to protect the bag with the cards and my magazine :P , I drop the big bag and the yogurt goes one way, the spaghetti squash rolls under the car next to me and the bag of walnuts is just laying there on the wet pavement. :huh:

I open the car door, of course now the rain is coming down harder and my whole seat gets wet while I load what I have on my arm and try to retrieve the stuff from the ground :angry:

It was really kinda funny, when you think about it B)

I got home just in time, though--it's so dark I had to turn on the light--looks like a stormy afternoon :D

I believe it all started with the phrase . . . The goat is the new yeti . . . or sumptin like that . . . from Thom??? . . . or was it talking about gluten-free meaning goat-free . . . who knows . . . and I'm not going back to find out!!! . . . OK . . . well, maybe later.

Play date is over. Peanut allergy girl is also allergic to dogs and of course Jo-dog is so dog-gone-cute (so is your Angus chupacabra, btw, Bev) that she couldn't help petting her and then I would tell her to wash her hands and I would get an eye-roll - not the really good one reserved for parents - just the "Oh mannnnn, she saw me touch the dog again!!!" eye-roll.

Alrighty then, Skeeter's now off for a sleep-over (that girl is majorly over-scheduled, someone should talk to her mother!!) and then it will be about time for Smakcl to go to Tae Kwon Do.

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Wedding Day! Bring your kleenex............. :wub: :wub: :wub: and may you dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess- yay- no more 101 degrees for you!

Well, we had quite an exciting day here yesterday. They "think" (my neighbor saw it) a tornado ripped down our street and several near us. We had a "microburst" last summer but this time there was a twirling cloud. You should see our backyard....... a over 100 year old tree split in half and landed smack on the tool shed (9fell back- away from the house- thank God). Kurt slept through it :huh: :huh: and I was in the supermarket.

When I turned onto our street I almost pooped.........trees everywhere......obstacle course. Our fence is trashed, tool shed gone (neighbor annoyed- yeah- like it's OUR fault- because three large branches landed in his yard).

So glad it fell the other way........this way and it would have taken out the bedroom Kurt was asleep in!

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
