I did . . . :D:D:D

I've been watching since right before Christmas . . . and the sets kept going for more than I was willing to spend (which was still significantly cheaper than to buy it at Hallmark). . . but I finally got me one.

Open Original Shared Link is what I got except it didn't include the angel or pedestal on the far left . . . and it didn't include that price tag.

That's so beautiphul, Jan-it :D Congratulations!!

I have an angel identical to the one on the left, except mine is holding a grey kitty. :)

Oooo very nice - I fondly remember the set we had when I was growing up.

Holy Moly.....that's beautiful!!! I have several willow tree angels and I love them. I don't think I've seen the nativity set. (That was a pretty nasty price listed up there). I'm glad you got it and for (hopefully) a lot less money! :)

Well . . . I would have loved for it to have been even cheaper, but I'll be happy wif my price. I have been looking for YEARS for a nativity set that I like and that I know that I will still like in 20 years. We currently have a Fisher-Price plastic nativity set. Skeeter was concerned that I was going to get rid of it when I showed her what I was planning on buying . . . :lol: . . . I told her that I definitely would not get rid of it until she was absolutely done with it.

Speaking of Tinkyada . . . I'm not liking Whole Foods too much . . .

Bummer :angry:

I'm fortunate that our little local grocery store carries Tinkayda and a few other gluten-free things that I use.

I miss our neighnoUr's life-sized nativity set that I spoke of recently.....the one in the middle of his lawn, with a huge life-sized Santa, sleigh and reindeer swooping over top of the creche, Christmas lights strung across the top and along Baby Jesus's cradle, a huge blowup Homer Simpson standing sentinel alongside the gathering. . . . .

Uh-oh .. ...did that scores of pages ago :o

Uhhhhhh the colonoscopy prep wasn't near as bad, in my case & in particular relative to pre-gluten-free, as advertised.

I woke for a few sec during colonoscopy to feel internal gnawing? Not ringing a bell?

No issues w/ endoscopy, save the barely scratchy throat.

Then, post-everything, was told of gobbler goblet cells.

I saw Pataghumn's earlier post--and cringed a little when he said he woke up during the colonoscopy. <horrifiedphace>

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
