Clark and Tony are pampering me. Now I need to find out who stole my real son. laugh.gif. I had him open one present tonight (we celebrate Chranukah & I also need the box to wrap another present). He's into wearing sports jackets and ties and fedoras so I got him a Scarface tie. He really seemed to get a kick out of it. He seems much more comfortable in his skin than we've ever seen him - not to say he wasn't self confident. College and having to be independent from us was a BIG thing but now it's coming together.

Love,

Loey

P.S. Rach - you're my hero. You have so much on your plate and juggle it with grace. Just remember on the day you think you might drop something let us help you. Send an SOS because we're all here to catch you.

Hey guys, we're fine :)B) All shook up again, but what else is new. At least the stuph didn't all fall out of my pantry :lol: All the tiles are still on the roof (I think :blink: ) and I poured myself a glass of whine even though it's only 2:30 p.m. I think Miss Em, my kitty, would like some too. Apparently there were a few panicked shoppers in the malls - I pledged not to go there this Christmas, and haven't :unsure:

So they say good news travels fast - sheesh, so does bad!! Twenty minutes and Lisa is on it :blink:

:lol:

I think that most things that were going to get broken have already been broken most places, so hope that the rest of the city is okay. This one was about 10 kns out to sea or it would have been worse - all that nice heavy salt water seems to muffle it a little. :D

Anyways, just checkin' in. :) Off for another glass of wine.

Perhaps you aren't meant to cook tonight? Maybe just some snacks and another glass of wine? Perhaps a little tuna marinated in wine for the kitty?

I don't know if I can find the kitty. She was really cool with the first, but now... she has disappeared. And I am already on my third glass of wine. I will be typing like Jyess soon. :D

Shroomie- we're all praying for your safety. Drink away and have a glass for me. I'm not allowed to drink anymore but my best friend from college is trying to send me MJ. I have my approval to get the ID card for MJ but they don't have any Compassion Centers open yet.

All My Love,

Loey

Maybe a little scary, more just rediculous drama. I'm in between patients right now so I'll do it right now. Give me at least a 1/2 hour. It's a loooooooong story!!

Gaaaaahhhhhhh... . . SO much to do today, but I'll be checking my email RELIGIOUSLY through the next couple of hours.. . ...thank gawd for my ipod, which will let me check these things whilst I stand at the bank, struggle through the liquor store, walk with the dogs. .. . . ....

Shrooooomie, I checked on here this morning to see if you'd posted, and got the good news. Then, I could carry on with my morning. :rolleyes::D Woulda had my ipod on the treadmill as well, methinks. . .. . ...

Um. . . . .. .. . ..there have been large earth tremors on the other side of the world, which we are ALL abreast of and checking in here to ensure that Shroooomie's okay. However, there is an equally terrifying thing happening on THIS side of the earth, and NONE of you Psills have been asking if I am all right.

It's okay..... . .I realize how busy everyone is, and my welfare cannot be foremost on everybody's mind.

Remember, now.....it's Christmas time.

MIL has landed.

Why do you let her use your car? Aren't the keys lost? Maybe a hose or the battery cables have come loose?

Seriously, here in Kansas, you can anonymously report an older person's driving. They will be called in for a driving test. Can you do that there?

She lives up in the Yukon, so that territory can deal with her driving infractions. One should think that the Alaska Highway would be the safest thoroughfare to place a hapless driver -- long stretches of straight, flat road, reasonable speed limit -- she has, however, managed to take out guard rails and First Nations elders portaging along the shoulder.. . . . ..

She rarely takes either of our cars out, now........and the kids wear full hockey gear when they do head out with her.

:huh:

:lol:

      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
