Happy Birfday K!!!

Hubby and kids didn't remember??? Well, that's the norm at my house. Hubby always asks me when his mother's birfday is . . . :huh: Let us know if they were faking not remembering . . . always good to have the over-the-top guilt-trip present in mind so that they can make it up to you just in case they really did forget.

BE's dad had a stroke yesterday and they're keeping him at the hospital for 2 days. The boys take turns staying with mom at the hospital and tonight is Blue Eyes' night.

I'm thinking of dropping my stat class because I don't think I'm learning it well enough. Making an appointment with the prof to discuss it with him.

Oh no--I will keep his dad in my thoughts.

Good luck with your meeting with the professor :)

I was just talking to Jack about the world of statistics, and I read this.. . . . ....I then mentioned that you may be dropping your class, and he said, "Oh, man, stats would be so EASY! It's stuff like, "there have been 12, 084, 695 global hectares of desertification this year..... .. 1, 936,00,704 google searches have been performed so far today. . . ....... 10 % of all human beings ever born are alive at this very moment".. . . .. .ya know, stuff like that. EASY!" :rolleyes:

Keirregne's boifday - many happies!

BE's dad - hope he recovers and gets outta there :)

I am so TOTALLY not with LGG.

Statistics - think you have to be bad at addition to be able to do that. :lol: Clay taught a stat class once - has me do the adding no matter what it is; my erstwhile bridge partner (a naval architect by training) who KNOWS what cards everyone is holding, can't add up our score :unsure::blink: Me, I took math all the way through HS and flunked it every year, including on school certificate. Fortunately they averaged your subjects for school cert. :P cos I flunked chemistry too, of course.

I like made up stats better than real ones. Take a creative writing class.

Does sound like more fun.

M, could you have Jack whip this out for me:

A random variable has pdf f(x) = 1/(b-a) when a<x<b, and 0 otherwise.

a ) derive the mgf Mx(t)

b ) hence, or otherwise, find E[X^k] where k is a positive integer.

I need it by Wednesday morning.

GRRRR... I just lost my reply!!!!!!!!

I can't imagine taking Statistics. Good luck with the professor, Jetsgar. I taught G&T one year. I was great at teaching Architecture, Medieval Times, Journalism, and How to Write a Research Paper but teaching these kids math was HARD. They thought nothing of correcting the teacher to begin with. I developed a system of having a backup "teacher of the day" if I needed it and they rose to the occasion. I also learned a lot (I'm a firm believer that you can learn from kids). I think I've always been mathematically challenged and I almost didn't take the job when I found out I was teaching G&T Math.

Healing prayers to BE's Dad.

Big Birthday Hugs to the lady who brought me here and feeds and walks me. I'm sure your hubby has something up his sleeve (or else!!!).

Gawd Loughie--are you alright? :o

I had just discovered that the reason I tend to fall a lot is probably Ataxia (not klutziness, which I always assumed it was). The very same night I found out about it I rolled out of bed and the sound was so loud it woke Superman right up. He got me ice and that helped with the swelling. I do still feel like a truck hit me. Superman/Clark is the sweetest guy and I don't want to leave the house looking like this. Luckily my gluten-free makeup covers it because we had plans to see our son for dinner at college yesterday. He's an oblivious 18 year old and the lights were dim. I told him about it and at first he said "so dad thought you fell out of bed" and we both said, "no I did fall out of bed." I got an extra hug from him.

I'll get a blood work up to see what vitamin deficiencies I might have as soon as my GI refers me to a GP. Thankfully the GI is finally taking me seriously since the capsule endoscopy showed an ulcer. I actually get my calls returned immediately. It's amazing how many pieces to the puzzle there are. This forum has taught me so much and of course the best part is the psilliness!!!!!!!!!

OK, birthday girl - I fought a Ninja and he/she looks worse than I do!!!!! Or perhaps Superman was exposed to Kryptonite while taking me for a ride and dropped me by mistake?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.
