I suppose you could abdicate the throne. Not sure who the successor would be.

Everbody must send Queen Rachelle a supply of vodka to get her through the next 98 pages. It may well preserve her.

Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (mother of the current Elizabeth II), outlived her husband, George VI, by more than half a century. Reportedly, she was preserved by gin and tonic to the age of 101. I don't do tonic, so for me:

Gin and tonic, hold the tonic. :ph34r:

Gin and lemonade was a college favorite. You get the added value of vitamin c.

Well, methinks we have a newly rejuvenated, gentler, kinder Monarch now, what with the tank floating.. . . . .Rah-shyellle, you should check into whether or not you could claim the cost of the floating tank sessions as a business expense, or try to run it through the Monarchical Health Insurance Program...

My last ex is movin' to Nu Joisy in Decembur. My sistur in Injunanna is movin to Snu Mexico in now.

Doctor_head has me testin my blud sugar every morning to c if I have pre-diabetes.

Obama is a Muslin, I saw it on the interwebz!

I dropped off a new encaustic abstract at the local gallery today for an auction they are doing to raise money. It's a kind of a very artist friendly gallery run by a great guy who also runs the local artist web forum. Also helped a little with installing the show. And helped a bit with a photographer friend closing down his studio after they lost the lease.

Then helped Muffin the kat-head with drinking a box of wine. I had to help a lot thou, she wasn't really into it.

Never been called Crayon before. Called a lot of other things...kinda like Crayon. It's colorful. Can I be magenta or aquamarine?

Used to live in old town Alex. Where were you? We could have helped Muffin with the wine!

I changed my av to a glass mosaic crab from my project. Can you see him?

Here's the info I have to date from the biopsy:

Esophageal Hiatal Hernia

Scalloped Folds and absence of villi in the duodenal

Ulcer in the pre-pyloric region

I'll be taking Omeprazole once a day for a month and then have to have the procedure repeated. The entire process was less than an hour. My longest wait was for the lab technician to come an draw blood to check for H-pylori. The results from the biopsy will take about a week.

Will be offline for a few days. Death in family (not unexpected) but we're staying at a cousins' house tonight so we don't have a long ride to the funeral tomorrow. I imagine they'll be a lot of wine drinking and reminiscing. I'll be goosd and have just asip or two. I have all my food packed and ready to go in microwave containers. He was sweet and wanted to know what he could cook for me but I explained the disease is pretty complicated and in my stage I could get sick easily. I'll explain getting CC'd, etc to them tonight.

Thanks for asking and for all of your support!!!

      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.
