We have a case of the measles in our high school. My kids are vaccinated. Just thought it was odd.

Russell, that bun looks like he feels very safe and happy. The back legs turned to the side means " no bunny worries".

J and Hub have driven to Colorado State today to look at the college tomorrow. Then they will hit K State on the way back. Then he has to decide which college. Hub made him drive all the way to Colorado today - 620 ish miles. Wants him to realize how far he would be. k Sate is maybe 2 hours away. At KSU he knows people in the engineering program & likes some of them. He knows no one at CO State.

I just heard from one of our roving Ottawa radio reporters, currently camped out in front of Westminster Cathedral, that there are close to 6,000 cases of measles right now in eastern Europe. :blink: What in hell?

Update on the college tour. He loved Colorado. Most of the campus has been re- built recently so it looks nice. They sent him around with an engineering student so he got to hear a students perspective. It was warm and lovely weather. Not sure what he thought of the long drive.

Em, love the singing bus driver. Could have a big sing- along.

Yes, he's safe, happy and spoiled rotten!

I'm accepting that Madeleine will go to Harvard (or so I keep telling her...), so I'm prepping myself for being on the other side of the country ;)

That's super cool! As is the scenery-I will put that on my list of places to visit!!

Yes, do tell!

Those hats are freakin crazy! Does one see such a hat and say, "Ooooh, that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" or "That's the craziest one, I'll take it!!"

Hub & J sent me pics of the important things on the CO campus. 2 are pics of a bike parking lot. counting what I can see, it must be 200 bikes at one and another 100 at the other. The other pic of a big sign for a pizza place (meant to make me OK with him going so far)

Colorado Style Pizza.

Gluten Free

Appetizers, Pizza, Sandwiches & Beverages!!

Dairy Free Cheese!

I'm guessing that Colorado style pizza must be gluten free and occasionally dairy free! It is only about 2 hours from the Home of Udis.

I only watched the highlights but they do seem to really like each other. Quite a nice difference from Diana & Charles' wedding.

Loved when Camilla was trying to pick up the littlest flower girl so she could see over the balconey. Especially, when she chided Prince Charles and it took him a minute to figure out she wanted him to hold the little girl.

Wow, this all sounds terrific, Kherrighnne.... . . . .how exciting! How does the program feel for him at Colorado? DD still has not decided between Ottawa U and U of Toronto.. . .. ....seems to all be boiling down to the programs, one of which is a little different than what she was initially planning on studying. They are both fantastic campuses.......and both are $$$$$.....crap.... . .. She has scholarships for both, but the remaining amount is still terrifying, frankly.. . .. ...

He is looking at Kansas State today. I fear it will not seem as impressive as the twice as expensive (even with the scholarship) CO. He also saw kids playing intermural (recreational)sports which he is hoping to do. I will let you know what he decides.

What is she studying? Is she playing hockey?

She wants to start in biomedical science, then perhaps specialize in a year or two into speech language pathology and/or linguistics.

Both universities have terrific house league hockey teams. My question remains: in a little, shared dorm room, where in hell do these kids store their hockey equipment?? Particularly the goalie, whose bag, trust me, is the biggest piece of baggage one has ever seen... :rolleyes:

What is J studying?

Maybe she can get a locker at the gym or rink & squeeze some stuff in.

J is doing mechanical engineering. Other than being a firefighter or Ninja when he was 6, its what he has always wanted to do.

Something to ponder having nothing to do with weddings, hats or royalty.

If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?

      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.

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!
