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!

OMG.. . . ..running naked is bad enough.. . ..biking naked?? Um.. . . . ..it must.....HURT. Regardless of one's sex...but men in particular.... . . . ...

At least I wouldn't be jiggling and bouncing along as I would be if streaking.

Just swaying, I suppose. . . . .... <_<

Well sumphin's gotta make 'em more appetizing for this vegetarian! ;)

:lol: :lol: Lotsa gluten-free sauce!

He could zip up my wetsuit any time!

Yes. He could UNzip mine. . . . . .. . .he could explore my unchartered depths... ..... ..<_<:lol:.. . . . Man, I do wish we'd break a big gas pipeline on one of our neighboUrhood streets er sumfin'-- perhaps he'd come and do a story... . .. .

Excellent, Kherrighnne! A family doc who is willing to believe that you are intelligent and is taking the time to listen... . . . . ....imagine that! :)

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. :)

The next time I make pizza, I'm going to do a white pizza. Haven't had that in a long time--since before gluten-free. 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:

      Son's legs shaking

      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...

      Son's legs shaking

      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...

      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...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      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 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?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
