You can see a picture of my beauties on my profile. Fabulous, unknown breed, smarty-smart, yellow girls. Tika is almost 14, from SPCA when she was a baby, and Annie was found on teh highway by Walmart in Gilroy, she's about 7. They are FAMOUS and FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Wow, guess I should check profiles more often. You're right, they are Beauties. They look similar enough to be litter mates. I'll have to get a picture of our dog on here somewhere. We saved her from the dog pound and I was manipulative enough that the kids think THEY picked her out. I can't ever imangine NOT having a dog.

Everyday my MIL delights me with new funnies!

She already uses that term so I just started as well. Kind of more proper than saying John's mom all the time. :)

I enjoy that one, too. I tried to show my kids (6 & 8) and they are not nearly as impressed as I am. I start explaining . . . you know, they are doing that on treadmills, . . . you know how those work, right . . . They hear blah, blah, blah :blink: .

This is the one that makes them stop and come watch. Not funny . . . but pretty cool.

:lol::lol: Those were excellent, Nikki :lol::lol:

13) Prodding a fire with a stick makes you feel manly.

This one just amazes me. Whenever we have gone camping, it seems like the goal is to get the fire big enough and hot enough to melt things (beer cans and bottles mostly). Heaven forbid you might have extra firewood left that you could leave behind for the next group/family. You've got to pile it all on and burn every twig. The more men involved in the camping trip, the bigger the fire . . .

Cute kitty! Is he/she yours? A black cat for Halloween! Wait . . . do you have Halloween across the pond?

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      By Russ H · Posted

      Do you have the standard range for the test results you received? A level of anti-tTG2 antibodies at least 10x the standard range is almost certainly (>98%) due to coeliac disease. Moderately raised levels can be caused by other conditions as well as coeliac disease. Accuracy of the No-Biopsy Approach for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis It is possible to have latent or early stage coeliac disease without histological changes visible by microscope. As has been suggest in this thread, if the repeat test comes up negative and serology is high, request an HLA genetic test from your specialist. Only 40 % of the population carries an HLA gene variant enabling the development of coeliac disease - if you test negative for this, it is quite unlikely that you have coeliac disease.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Hi Cristiana   Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa.  The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.
