Holy crap... . . . . . ......in all the misery and ugliness of the horrific oil spill in the Gulf, I have just found a piece of beauty. Our national news station just had a live interview with Phillippe Cousteau, Jacques's son. who was offering his expert perspective.

What a sight for sore eyes!

M (14) has a MD appt for yearly check. Going to insist he have the blood tests for Celiac. Have printed the info page from Univ of Chicago Celiac Ct to explain what he needs. Neither boy has symptoms but it seems it's a good idea to make sure nothing is going on. I am optimistic that this MD will have a small clue about celiac disease.

MD was very agreeable. Looked at my printout and said he wasn't certain that the panel ran the total IgA so he would write it in. Nice to find a MD that is knowledgeable and pleasant.

Correct--he came home Friday night and went back today. I've been through this plenty of times, but somehow this time is really hitting me hard.

:(

Yes, excellent possibilities.. . . .. . ....Hell, I am NOT simply neutral! I am married, middle-aged, a mother, an employee, of average height and weight.. . . ..... . . ..actually, that does sound fairly neutral, dunnit?.. .. ......<_<

Perhaps, this being a celiac site, the status button only relates to the disease itself.

Choices of Daily Status: Bloated, Flatulent, Itchy, Fatiqued, Flattened Villi, Healing Nicely.... . .... . :rolleyes:

Well, we all must try it!! Methinks we should all put "Psilly" as our respective statuses (um.....statii?)

I put "tired" on my status but will promptly change it to Psilly.

The Portland Naked Bike ride is coming up. Thousands of neked people riding all over Portland. Gads, can you imagine those seats :blink: My BFF wants me to go watch with her ;)

I would not leave my house if I lived in Portland on that day! Close the shades! How un- appetizing. Not craving the balls and sauce now.

So last year, my son's BFF had a birthday party at a really nice and popular park in yuppy-ville Portland. When we get there, the kid's mom comes up and covertly tells us that the neked ride is today and they've been coming thru the park all morning! Well, we were all on the lookout so we can preoccupy the kiddos and saw nothing. We leave the park and low-&-behold, at the 1st roundabout, there are about 6 or 7 neked men sunning themselves on the big statue! I'm like, "Max, what's that over there??" (opposite the men ;) ) It was crazy!

Well, speaking as we are of tight-fitting apparel, Miley Cyrus' outfit at her Saturday performance in Lisbon seems to qualify. :ph34r:

Its Tuesday, which is usually our day off, but we are going into the store in a while. This gives our Tuesday worker a short day--we are going away at the weekend, and the part-timers have to cover Friday through Sunday.

Homemade gluten-free pizza for supper after work. We just baked a batch of crusts which are cooling as I write this. :)

Just never thought of it this way, but really the toppings are fine.....I use olive oil, pecorino romano, garlic, and mozzarella. Maybe spinach....now me mouf is waterin fer one :lol:

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
