Okay guys, my brain keeps playing tricks with my fingers, or the other way around :blink: There I was over on another thread spouting away about gluten free pasta, and what comes out but "gluten free pasture" :lol: You can take the girl off the farm but you can't take the farm out of the girl. Except that we don't even call them pastures or fields here in New Zealand; we call them paddocks.:unsure: However, we do put old nags out to pasture, which is probably where I belong :rolleyes:

WIH?! So I'm trying on my swimsuits yesterday trying to decide which ones to bring and I happened to turn around to see how the back looked...mistake, I know...but it appears that sometime recently I sat in cottage cheese and it STUCK to my arse and backs of me thighs! Then I spent another hour looking for sarongs and cute skirts to hide the mess. This is very upsetting! :rolleyes:

I don't think I posted this one. They also made a really nice one for the school but haven't put it out on Youtube yet because it might leak secrets to the competition. :ph34r: J is in the first picture, lower left corner in white.

They have a website. www.mmr2410.com It is updated only when you might expect teenagers would - when they have a lot of homework and a chemistry test.

Psappy psillies psinging psongs

racing robots

mushing dogs

Where whonce were penile earring threads

they talk of quakes and fires instead

Of teenage boys

of broken limbs

of scary docs

of missing buns

But Spring springs bring

Phresh phlooding phun

washing out what now is done

Build your boat and chuck the oars

grab the sides and ride the rides

We are the psillies

We live for fun

We dance and sing and smile again

We laugh in the face of fear

The one that says you move into an area and after a while buy a house. We decided to buy one where our hearts are (the town the kids live in) and keep a small apartment here. We've been house-hunting up here for a few months and something just didn't feel right. This feels right--we were planning on retiring back there anyway, so we'll just shift things up a bit.

:D :D :D

I feel I should also mention that since we are right out side of NYC, we can get a house down there and a small apartment here for as much or less than a home here. Not to mention phamily dinners at me house again.

:D Wackadoodle :D

      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...

      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!
