UGH! back from the best weekend I've had in a veeeeeeeery long time and now I'm in full denial that I'm throwing a partay at my house this weekend. Annnnnnd the inlaws are coming to stay. At least I'll have my dd back. She's been 400 miles away with said inlaws having the time of her life. I told her she's going to get super constipated and scream and cry the next time she has to take a poo, but go ahead and have another flippin soda, some more candy and go to bed at midnight. Hope the MIL can handle what's gonna happen :rolleyes: Bad enough that the day we dropped her off we fed her lunch at 1230 and they didn't feed her again until 830 that night. Seriously?? She was crying bc her stomach hurt so bad. I told the MIL that the kids normally eat every 3 hours or so and I always keep snacks with me. I think she learned her lesson on that one! On the bright side, I've been having a wonderful time with Max, trying to make up for the fact that his sister is away having all the fun and he's stuck here with me, except I still make him eat healthy food with a milkshake or icecream bar thrown in there once a day :P Tonight I make 3 different kinds of cookie dough AND a cherry ameretto cake for him to try ;)

I do wish I had a picture of yesterday though.... He went rollerskating and he can't skate worth beans, so they have these little walkers for them to use. Soooooo cute and funny! :lol:

Getting really scared here. It appears we're right in the path of Irene (I may just have to change my name after this storm!). They are comparing this storm to Katrina, eek! My city just issued mandatory evacuations for everyone in low lying areas. we just moved here and I can't figure out if I'm in a low lying area from the storm surge maps. My area is in the "unstudied" part of the map. Hubby has to work on friday and is on call on Saturady so we can't leave the area. Might be going to a shelter or hotel though. I will try to keep y'all updated but if I don't either we went to a shelter or lost power. Prayers appreciated please.

Oh no, Non-hurricane Irene ( your new name)! Pack up enough of your food for a week and then some. Good luck!

Could go to the in-laws. Take a trailer full of essentials to share!

LOL! I'd rather ride out the storm! I'm well stocked on food and water. Couldn't get the batteries I needed though so we will be using candles if the power goes out at night.

LOL! I wish I could sleep, but I can't sleep when it storms for some reason. I love to watch it rain but I just can't go to sleep. Guess I will have to use that as an excuse to cuddle with hubby. :D

Now...... . . . ...anyone want to conduct a poll?

Trying to post some lovely cocktails but I think the iPad has drunk them. Weird things are happening, now. The forum is shrinking and stretching . May have to wait for it to sleep it off.

      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.

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!
