Hello All . . . I'm back from Illannoy. I've got lots to read and am debating on whether I will read it or not . . . then Susie mentions a Mrs Robinson/man-child topic and so I suppose I shall have to go back to investigate.

But first . . . must do laundry, go grocery shopping, install plant some of me own flowers, make some phone calls . . . would rather go back to bed.

Brian is coming home this Tues. He finally got a physical therapist in our network, and he said Brian needs to find a home and stay there for his

entire PT, which could last into Aug. So that's why he decided it was time to come home. He will be getting a temporary leg soon. He remains in good spirits.

Says his nick-name is 'Stumpy' :rolleyes: .......lordy

Well, Smackl used to want to be called Zap . . . he thought it would make him sound "fast" or sumptin'. Hubby and I told him that you don't get to pick your own nicknames . . . someone gives them to you. We offered to call him Stinky but he didn't take us up on it.

Same goes wif Brian!!! He doesn't get to pick!! I'm sure we sillies can come up wif a good'en!!

How about

Ilene . . . too feminine??

Peg . . . also too feminine??

Weeble . . . cuz they wobble but they don't fall down . . . wait, does he fall down??

Stinky??

Stay cozy under a named blankie. Methinks this is the secret. . . . .. .. .

Gad, I was lookin' at me mailman this morning from a whole different perspective, I'm afraid. He would be, in my estimation, about 28 . . .. . . .... :unsure:

:lol: what ya looking at yer man child mailman for?????

OMG - I DID call my blankie a bobo - but all blankies were called bobos.

and then - my dad started calling his fan Bobo. All the men in my family (and me) slept with fans on, for white noise.....so it was a security blanket of sorts. (I would DIE without me bobo and - all sillies take note - in addition to the lavendar-spritzed sheets I NEED A BOBO fer sleep!!!!!!!!!)

Two things I've learned in the past day and a half:

chickens make a lot of poop.

Chickies want to stand on their water bowl to drink, so ya better have one that'll support the weight of a teen chicken and not tip over.

Nope - no man-child. that would be my beloved Derek, and I work with him, but NOTHING will ever happen there, poor lad. He DOES want a Mrs. Robinson relationship, though.

what I DID have was a ridiculously heinous date with a Man Boy. A difference. :lol:

Gianknit, glad yer back!!!! we missed you.

Mornin sillies--got nuttin.....pheelin kinda blah. No reason, maybe it's just "Monday".

Bunnie--how do you do your garlic mashed potatoes?

Just dropped 200$ at Tj's on groceries. No biggie, I don't go often so gotta stock up, but it was a HERCULEAN effort getting all that crap in here..... Whew......

Patee, when I'm being lazy I just put alot of garlicpowder in the taters once mashed. When feeling ambitious, I slow-saute a great deal of finely chopped garlic in a great deal of butter then mix that in. I go heavy on the milk n butter n pepper, bit light on the salt. Pan roasted garlic makes em sweet, too. Mmmmm.... Definitely doin that tonight!

Edited to say: Keep in mind, I make a LOT of potatos when i make mashed tatoes, BF is mad for them, so I wouldn't saute a GREAT deal of garlic for just two normal people....

Ah--slow saute-ing the garlic in butter. That sounds so good. I have tried putting a couple cloves of peeled garlic in the cooking water for the potatoes, and that's not bad, but not as flavorful as I'd like. I'm gonna try your way next time :D

Hi Judith!! So happy you got "the cake" :lol: Sounds like it went over big up there, too.

Okay, I'm heading out to the nearest Starbucks (unfortunately, not right around the corner like all the #*!#%!#@* Tim Horton's at every intersection, it would seem) to ask about availability in Canada . .. ....my mom is now eating gluten-free (her blood panel was "inconclusive".....uh huh. . .... <_< ), so it would be nice to be able to go out for an afternoon tea with her and have something like this.

Um - I thought that was quite scary, and he has a Tiny Tim quality to him. It made my cat come running in. :lol:

Speaking of Skittle, we have a catnip update.

I bought some today, and, he could not have been less interested. No reaction. Zilch.

:huh:

I am so disappointed. :lol:

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.

      That's what came immediately to my mind as well, Bell's palsy. And don't assume every medical problem is connected to her celiac disease as there is still something known as coincidence. Get this checked out by medical professionals and push for some serious testing. Don't let them brush you off. Be appropriately assertive.
    • Mnofsinger
      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      It's nice to see celiac-safe options out there for guest homes.

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.
