That was great! Loved the boxer on the trampoline!

Think if we taught Cooper to ride a bike, he wouldn't be so afraid of them?

Did you see the boxer dog on the trampoline? That should cheer you up. I'm thinking of getting a trampoline just to put my neighbors boxer on.

That sounds like fun! I asked for shooting lessons at a local range for Christmas, but I didn't get them. I think hubby was a little nervous about that one :ph34r::P

Have a WONDERFUL time tonight - you deserve it!!!!! I got to enjoy alone time this weekend. Think I already mentioned (brain fog) Clark was going back to NJ to visit pfriends and pick up Tony. I was supposed to go out with a girl[friend but she was sick. Thought I'd be lonely but I watched a good movie (chick flick) called The Women. By the time it was over I was ready or bed. Clark and TOny should be back by around 5. Clark called twice to make sure I tuned on the night setting of the burglar alarm (awwww).

Love you psillies!

Went to see Open Original Shared Link. It was awesome. Small supper club,full, but not packed. We had a table on the balcony looking down on the band. Music was fabulous, as was the food.

slow weekend, huh? . . . that's alright, I hate when I've been off for a couple of days and feel overwhelmed by the amount of reading I have to do . . . :P

Went birding yesterday . . . we're a hardy lot. Probably about 12 of us total with temps less than 10 degF and a windchill about 0. We're looking at going on a field trip next Saturday to an area where bald eagles roost . . . supposedly have the potential of seeing 80 to 100 bald eagles.

Went to PF Changs tonight . . . man I love that place.

You're a weather show-off!

We are supposed to get massive amounts of snow! Stock up on milk, cold cuts (judging by the deli counter line) & TP.

Wood, perhaps?? :D

Wood, perhaps?? :D

I'm going to jinx us by saying this but, our power never goes off. Its almost all underground.

Unless you meant something else by that comment?

mushroom Proficient

Now what else would I mean?? B)

Our power always goes out - there is this rinky dinky line that does fine until it gets to just before us, and then it becomes the kind of line that goes over hill and dale forever and ever till it gets to the end of nowhere, where there are no roads, but plenty of branches :unsure: and if any one of those branches hit this line, boomp, we're out. But we got this luvverly soapstone stove that burns wood and it will keep you toasty forevver :D (so long as you gots wood, that is, so see, what else would I mean??? :lol:

Jestgar Rising Star

mmm yes. You need lots of wood to keep you warm. :P

All the schools are closed. We only have about 2 inches of snow but its supposed to keep it up until at least 5 inches.

There seems to be a dearth of silliness around here.

A paucity?

psawyer Proficient

It is indeed eerily quiet here in the land of the psillies.

kareng Grand Master

Aaaaggggghhhhhhh!

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.
    • trents
      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.
