I just cannot understand it.....here I am, Psillyville Kween, and there has been NO official invitation, as yet, to the royal wedding for me in the mail. Gads, they certainly take it right down to the wire! It is in two weeks, and I have to book a flight, get hotel reservations, arrange for someone to take over royal protocol in my absence.. ....rather inconsiderate of them, I must say.. .. . .....Can they not appreciate that I need time to make arrangemnts before I go overseas??

P'raps they're sending the plane and have a wing in the palace already set up for you.

Hi Lo! Sorry you are feeling poorly. If medical bills are piling up, Tony should talk to the financial aid office. They take a change in financial status into consideration.

I got the odd message. Thought I was special but everyone else got one, too. :o

I saw something about the royal wedding guest list being small. I think the queen only gets to invite 300 people. She may not be able to invite every ruler in the world. Perhaps they cannot supply gluten-free food & cake?

Ahhhh....right, then!! Makes good sense. Of course, that must be what is happening. :lol:

That might be the reason. . . . ...Gluten-free food is more expensive and there is the whole worry of cross-contamination. I suppose with a quota of only 300 guests, the celiacs lose priority fairly quickly.. . ...

"Right, then! King Fahad - - in. The Obamas -- in. Mandela -- mark him as in, and we shall see if he is still around by the end of the month.. . . .....Gadhaffi -- hmmm....just put a question mark for now.. .. . ...Wait, who is this?? Psillyville Monarch - - bah.. . . ...a very temporary placement -- only 100 pages -- AND she has trouble with gluten.. . . . ...out, for certain. . . . . .."

Hola. Busy bee here. And it just keeps getting busier! I think I just snagged my first wedding cake..... I just quoted the price, so we'll see how she likes that :unsure: I also got 2 birthday orders for May and a possible one for this month! Excited!! It's almost nil after Christmas but picks up in spring. Tis a good thing though, after the holiday stuff, I need a break!

Glad everyone seems to be well! Jess--You still with BE? Was thinking about you the other day!

Me too!!

Bunny is good. He thinks he's the boss, lol. So much personality, he's fun to watch. The kids have one of those Cranium Superforts that they've set up in the playroom and he runs in and out of it like an obstacle course for about an hour, then he climbs back into his hutch and passes out! :P

What a fun bun!

Just got back from hub's colonoscopy. The routine kind you have when you get old. It was good he had it. He had 2 polyps, one quite large. He named them Harvey & Fred. He now has a tattoo as they tattoo where they remove the polyps, just in case. :ph34r:

He was soooo tired after being up all night that he wouldn't wake up. He is upstairs sleeping.

Hiya, Jyaghnutt! What are youse guys reading?

He was soooo tired after being up all night that he wouldn't wake up. He is upstairs sleeping.

My DH is scheduled for this proceedure in a couple of weeks, as well, also as a routine. ... . . ...I assumed that I may not want to be sleeping with him the night before, if I want to get any sleep.....at least we have an ensuite bathroom, about an eight-foot walk from our bed.. .. . .:unsure:. . .. ...

Perhaps the wild excitement is abating a little and they are transitioning into the slippers and quiet walks phase. :P

:lol: :lol: Indeed, this is exactly what things gradually morph into. . . . ....slippers and quiet walks... . . ..

<_< <_< I'da thought it would take longer.

No point in going to his house dressed in a corset or sumpin' cause half the time he calls me on the way there to ask me to stop at the store. Must think of some fun way to return to the previous level of entertainment.

      @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.

      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.

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!
