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.

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

So sorry to hear that your osteopenia is getting worse. I was just fitted in a brace and between that and my scar Clark calls me Igor. Sending lots of love and healing positive energy!

Love,

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:

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

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.

      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
