The little girl is still hiding, although she was out playing with her brother last night. Bo is attempting to ignore them - the little boy disagrees with that plan....

So far I'm just calling them the Tater Tots. :D

Gah! I've missed so much! Missed Em's birthday.....and a couple others me thinks. Kitties.....MJ....what else? Oh.....and dear Lucy :(

Soooo glad to see Patteigh around again! How's the family, Padts?

Been having lots of neck problems lately. Had a CT scan and found 2 bulging disks and one herniated disk. <_<

*note to self*...must learn to type without looking at the keys :rolleyes:

....and osteopenia is getting worse.

But.....I can still dance!!! And I've been kicking butt (my own) in Zumba!

Got my hair trimmed....keeping it long,but loosing the curls.....got bangs (cheaper than botox)....AND got it colored....for the first time ever! A deep, sultry brown. B)

Going back to T.E.X.A.S. next week. hubby has to give his deposition. Can't talk about him or the a.c.c.i.d.e.n.t on line. Enemy lawyers have been googling :ph34r: They found a blog of my son's from a while back talking about how well hubby has been doing and that he's dancing again. Don't think it'll do much damage though. Besides......doesn't look like our case has much hope anyway, since we have to prove that the c.i.t.y knew, or had time to know, that the s.t.o.p s.i.g.n was missing. Looks like it will go to t.r.i.a.l.

We'll get to visit my son and DIL while we're there. :D Haven't been to T.e.x.a.s since that spring 2 years ago.

HAPPY HALOWEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE, wub.gifwub.gif

P.S. I'm opening the door in my old pumpkin costume from when I taught first grade. My favorite is my purple flapper but it's inappropriate. Hope we get trick or treaters. We're in a new development and last year only got 15 (7 from our next door neighbor - they like procreating rolleyes.gifrolleyes.gif

We had a total of eleven last night, which is about average. Hub bought licorice all sorts (do you have those, EM?) and there are a bunch left. He thought we could eat the leftovers and his face well when I told him about the gluten. But I think some of the remainder is disappearing :ph34r: -- sometimes he is willlfully ignorant and misbehaving. :rolleyes:

Hi Leese!

Been answering the door steadily for the last 2 1/2 hours. Lots of nice little kids--one family, every kid said "Happy Halloween and welcome to the neighborhood". B)

Almost outta candy....

Wish I could send you some of mine. I have a big bag of assorted chocolates and then three other bags (luckily I have the receipt for two of them).

Well I had a total of 12 including the 7 from next door. My sweet little girl that I tutor came from about a half an hour today. I didn't recognize her until she said "thanks Miss Lois."

Today she brought me a Frankie Stein doll (she knows I have a doll collection and she had brought hers to show me last week and I told her I loved it. It was really sweet of her. She's picking up her reading steadily and LOVES homework and coming to my house.

I've been feeling ill all day and only ate breakfast but that decided to come up a little while ago (yuck). I'm supposed to see my oncologist tomorrow but I want to call and make sure she still wants me to come. Patients get Chemo there and are very susceptible.

OK, off to bed. I'm thankful I managed to keep my costume and wig clean when I got sick.

I hope you all had a happy halloween!

Love,

Loey

Night Low--feel better :)

Jestgar Rising Star

Feel better LoLo.

I'm hiding in the dark to deter any treaters. :ph34r: :ph34r:

I live on a street with no lights and no sidewalks so some years I get 1, Often no one. The last two years I've just turned off all the lights. Makes it easier...

jerseyangel Proficient

This is the first year in a while that we had any t or t'ers. Last year, none at the apartment, the year before that we actually moved on Halloween weekend, and year before that we lived out in the country and got no kids at all.

Tonight was kinda nice.

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
