Second blast just happened at the mine, just as bad as the first. I believe all hope is lost. Thanks all for thoughts and prayers. No one was injured.

I heard about the mine this morning. So difficult for the community, and especially the families. We, as a species, need to stop using things that require people to spend hours underground. It seems there is no way to make the practice of mining truly safe.

Hopefully BE's parents adored me. :rolleyes: I served them dinner that BE made, and cleared up, and brought them coffee and did dishes n' all that sorta stuff. :P:)

They are very nice people, and actually still like each other after 60 some-odd years of marriage. They made fun of being trapped at their son's house. Said it was like being on vacation in a mountain cabin (he's surrounded by trees). His mom couldn't believe she'd left home without her lipstick. :lol: :lol:

Gas Hot water heater will not stay on. Good thing I bought the really expensive one from the plumber 5 years ago, cause it's still under warranty. He said he was going to replace the burner and vacuum it out? He keeps vacuuming and vacuuming. What is he vacuuming so long?

I don't know! I thought he meant the little hole where the flames are but maybe he can suck the guck that falls to the bottom of hot water heaters. Maybe he's just killing time until he is off work?

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa
