Wow! Too bad its not gluten-free. It even says its not gluten-free on the website.

Peter's cartoon reminds me of J going to a robotics competition with the robots , motors, batteries, wires packed in the checked suitcase. On top, he put a printout of the event and a list of what the parts were in case it got chosen to be inspected.

In a rare event, I worked on a Sunday today. Now I am home and it is time to make pizza. Yum! Yum!

Hello Dear Psillies,

Just dropping in to say a quick hello. My back's been bad so it's been difficult to sit at the computer. Also spending a lot of my time (and $) going to see specialists now that I finally saw my FP. I had two pre-cancerous polyps removed during my colonoscopy and my ccl and leucocyte levels were off so I have to see an oncologist. I remain ever the optimist that they'll figure out what is wrong with me in time for me to enjoy the beaches once we get out of this horrible winter.

biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

Clark already had a successful job interview. He would be working in NJ so he'd take a small apartment there for the weekdays and come home Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. He's also going to try to get Tony an unpaid internship there for the summer if possible. It's not a done deal yet but he met with the VP yesterday at 4PM and didn't get home until 8:30. He's feeling confident that he has a skill set that is unique and it's good to see him feel this way. I knew he was great at his job but he lost sight of it. In the long run Pfizer did him a favor.

I see a Spine and pain management doctor tomorrow and will keep you posted. I miss you all but have been following the thread quietly.

Love & Hugs,

Loey wub.gif

OMG LO! You're falling apart. My boys have offered totightened up your bolts & replace your battery. Clark will have to be responsible for rotating your tires. ;)

I think Patti should get a house and take in boarders. Clark could live with her.

We went to PF Changs tonight for V Day! Had the Street Noodles and Spicy Chicken & egg drop soup! And wine! Yum!

Hey guys!! Real life CSI!!

My sister who is widowed was recently burgled and had her house trashed while she was away on vacation (she lives up a right-of-way on a back section). Her neighbor in front observed suspicious activity on her driveway and confronted a woman who said some kind of funky story about having broken up with her boyfriend and being upset. Neighbor though he saw someone else go up driveway and called police. They didn't come :( Neighbor saw a car go up her driveway and called police again - they didn't have a car available at ll:30 p.m. Next day neighbor checks after work, front door wide open, brick thrown through back window, and all her personal stuff gone, pictures, photos, china, electronics, some furniture, all drawers tossed onto floor, awful mess. Neighbor calls her daughter who calls sis who comes back from vacation. Amongst debris she finds a bandanna! (with dandruff on it!!). Police phinally come next day and we say yeah, what's the use now?

Just got an email from sis - they got DNA off bandanna, matches a female crim who has been positively identified by neighbor down front and they are issuing search warrant!! WOOHOO!! Don't know if she'll get anything back, but they got the beotch who spread mayonnaise and coffee grounds all over her kitchen and dining room. Hubs only just purchased a replacement hifi system for her on TradeMe last night, so kinda hope they don't ;) find that, but it would be nice to get the personal stuff back, "her life".

      Is this celiac?

      @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...

      Is this celiac?

      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.

      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.

      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!
