GREAT news!!!!! It was hemorrhoids (though I still don't like the doctor). Tony doesn't eat fruits or veggies (fruit does upset his stomach and he's allergic to some veggies but not all) so he's taking fiber tablets.

I am going out more. Rob and I went to the beach early and will be heading out soon for a mall (half hour away) so I can return something I bought in April at Michael's. They have a pretty good supply of beads and the necessary findings. I must have a bazillion already but I saw a beautiful necklace in Watch Hill (the wealthy section of Westerly) and My girlfriend took a photo of it so I need a certain kind of crystal to duplicate it.

As for the job interview - it went smashingly but it will be two weeks before he hers. Please keep praying.

Love to you all,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Going to the Ozarks for a few days. I think my experience will be a lot less Hillbilly than Rachelle's vacation.

Went for a hike yesterday, ~ 9 miles. Woke up this morning thinking of all the stuff I plan to do today. Then I got out of bed to make coffee.... Maybe I'll just watch movies today.... and drink...

Wow, I missed a lot of drama, amusement, and tragedy (ish). Just took me an hour to catch up. My family is so delightfully normal and boring. Except that my mother refuses to turn her cell phone on, but my parents don't have a landline in the current house, and so I can't call her back. Not that I specifically need to, but it's surprisingly irritating. Perhaps I shall write letters, as she sent me envelopes with stamps on them. Ah! passive agressive hint?

1. I think I would like to avoid in-laws, and am glad the move is over.

2. Am glad you survived the sketchy campgroup.

3. Avoiding babies is an excellent plan for college. Avoiding STDs = extra credit.

4. Crazy wildlife stories: would like to see foxes meet woodpecker.

5. Really, fanny means something located an another area of the anatomy?? Does everyone snigger at people named Fannie?

Considering roommating with a stranger. A guy, weirdly enough, with DH. Not that I object to living with a guy but typically have done some in a larger group (i.e. 3 bedrooms, 3 roommates) as opposed to a 2 bedroom. Hrmmm... 'twould be cheaper and a consideraly better commute to work. Neighborhood may or may not be equally "safe."

Caffiene at 3 pm stupid, and my alarm now goes off in... 5 hours. Perhaps some alcohol to combat the caffiene?

Phinally put a foto up!!

(Now have three hours until alarm... perhaps shall skip sleep entirely and take the bus...)

This place we are staying in the Ozarks is 1217 times better than the place Rachelle went. Also, we didn't bring any extra relatives or drunken ex- strippers with us.

It's been raining this morning and 74 F so that messed up jet skiing. Will try to do that later. The boys just liked sleeping in and having pancakes and playing some odd card game.

SB- thinking caffiene might be a big "No-No" for you. The room ate that understands and is gluten-free sounds great. The guy part might be weird.

You guys aren't going to believe this . . . we maintain a freakishly odd school schedule here . . . the kids go back to school tomorrow.

. . . but first, a trip to what I assume will be a horribly overcrowded pool this afternoon.

Dear gawd, this is an early start... . . .your kids are in school all of August? Wow......are the schools air-conditioned?

They must start their summer holidays in early June, then?

EXCITING! Sophie is packing for university. She is going to Ottawa U, but staying in residence. So, she will be a twenty-minute bus-ride away....perfect for Sunday dinners and weekly laundry jaunts <_<:rolleyes:. Her dorm room is on the fifteenth floor of one of the res buildings.....the elevator only stops at even floors ( :huh: ), and we have a sizeable bar fridge, wardrobe and dresser to get up those two flights of stairs. Which strong, strapping Psillies will be in Ottawa Labour Day weekend? Manna, please extend a weekend invitation to your ILs. If they can lift junk into a truck, they'll be all set to lug furniture up a couple o' flights of stairs.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
