What does he have to say about it? I imagine he's none too pleased at the prospect of losing you.

Y'all know about the new baby adoption....found under the cabbage leaves hosta plants. We have been struggling with the name. Not so easy when you need to hash it out between 2 people. Proud papa is just as picky as me as far as names go! I'm leaning toward Merry Pippin (play on Mary Poppins... and because she is merry.....and because she's such a Pip!!), but looks like it may be Sunny. We rejected names like Ginger, Lulu, Sasha, Sarah, Alice, (where did he get that from?), Happy, Joy and so many others. Any suggestions would be welcome. We are so in love with this baby! I tell her so often that she must be gentle....she probably thinks her name is Gentle! :lol:

Pond denizens are all fat and happy. Have learned that the water skimmers (bugs that "walk" on the water) are dangerous to fish as they inject a toxin in them. I watched them attack a moth that landed on the water and couldn't fly out (wet wings). Fascinating. I've been busily scooping them out and flinging them out into the yard, hoping that they die a quick but painful death. Amazing how fast they multiply...this could be a new hobby for me (oh, how exciting!).

Em-n-Emmmmmm.....I'm sure you're going to have a great (if exhausting ) time with your friend! Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Have a wonderful day everyone......only good things allowed to happen today.

I stole acquired an adult cat one time. I asked her what her name was and started offering up possibilities. When she rubbed against my leg and purred, I figured that must be her name. Never did find out how she came to be named "Spider", but who I am I to question her?

I never thought to ask her what her name was!!! Figgered she wasn't old enough to know!?! Spider is pretty unique, I must say. Maybe because of the web of love she weaved? Hope yer havin a good day toodae!

BTW....I love your Av!! That manic gleam in the eye...that demand to have his own way.....tres kool!

T--watch her and see what she seems to want to respond to. We actually changed Allo's name early on since he seemed to like it better than his "given" name. Of course, it could have been my tone of voice......but I prefer to remember it that way :rolleyes:

I do like "Sunny", though. Seems very suitable for a wee kitty that was found under a leaf. Your kitty looks practically identical to me son's newest--and they named him "Philip" :P

So go figgure.....

Oh, I wish. . . . .....not great things today, I am afraid. :( Overnight my dad has fallen worse - -they are suspecting that he may have had a small stroke. When I saw him today he was sleeping the whole time, and has apparently been doing so since they tried to rouse him early this morning. So, they are calling with updates.... . . . . ..

Tareeeesuh, why don't you name your li'l wee one Leslie? :huh:B) 'Tis my dad's name. I actually am kidding, but when I was reading your attempts at finding a name, I of course kept thinking of him, and suddenly remembered that his name is good for male or female creatures. .. .....

Sunny is lovely.

Oh Em. I hope your Dad sleeps peacefully through his recovery and wakes up with all the joy, and none of the pain he started this hospital venture with.

Suze--miss you too. I'll be back later with a russian and good long post ;)

Em, I am soooo sorry things are tough for your father. Hang in there. I am thinking of you, and hold you the thought of healthy recovery for him.

T--Ilike "Pip" :) But, Sunny is soooo like you :D

Love to all. Must go clean out fridge (ugh), grocery shop (ugh), etc, ad nauseum.

Man, we have to meet. Just reading Rayechull's fab, uplifting post, and thinking about how you guys have become such close friends, I suddenly feel a surge of urgency, of a real want like never before to congregate with you all, somewhere, somehow. A lot of this is coming from my sadness re. Dad, but nonetheless I've realized how you have all become a real part of my life. . . . .....incredible. You were the first people, after my immediate family, whom I went to and spilled about my dad.

Thanks for being here, you hilarious, wonderful lot. :wub::wub:

Jyess, you need to tell yer boss to p!ss off.

Sorry, I'm just takin' no prisoners right now. . . .. . . .

      Thank you for the welcome and reply. The first test was tissue transglutaminase IGA and it was normal. The second test just simply says IGA and it was 638. You definitely answered my question, it sounds like im negative for celiac since the 1st test was normal, and that another condition has caused the abnormal result of the IGA.

      Welcome to the forum, @daniellelawson2011! First, we need to deal with terminology here. When you refer to the "ttg" test I take that to mean the ttg-iga. And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se.

I asked my PCP to order a ttg and iga. The results: the iga was high at 638. The ttg was negative. Of course I will discuss with my doctor, but i would like to hear from people that have went through...

You definitely answered my question, it sounds like im negative for celiac since the 1st test was normal, and that another condition has caused the abnormal result of the IGA. That's exactly what I was wondering. Im almost positive I have MS and I've read results are higher like that with early onset. Or it could be IBS. Hopefully the visit with the neurologist will give me even more answers and point to a final diagnosis. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply and for helping. Thank you so much!

      Welcome to the forum, @daniellelawson2011! First, we need to deal with terminology here. When you refer to the "ttg" test I take that to mean the ttg-iga. And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se. It is run in order to check for iga deficiency. If you are iga deficient, then the ttg-iga and other iga tests that are specific for celiac disease will be abnormally low and this would potentially produce false negatives. You are not iga deficient but, rather, your total iga is abnormally high. This can suggest underlying health conditions, some of them can be serious in nature.  https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ "High IgA usually points to chronic infections or inflammation, though many disorders can raise its levels. High IgA does not cause symptoms. People show symptoms from their underlying health problem." One thing I might add and that is you must have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months prior to the blood draw for antibody testing. Testing while on a gluten free or gluten reduced diet will not yield valid results. Also, here is a primer outlining the various antibody tests that can be ordered to check for celiac disease:

I asked my PCP to order a ttg and iga. The results: the iga was high at 638. The ttg was negative. Of course I will discuss with my doctor, but i would like to hear from people that have went through the process of diagnosis to maybe give me some insight on what this means and where to go from here. Also of note, i had a brain mri which showed white lesions which arent typical at 44 years old. I have many MS symptoms. I go to the neurologist on Tuesday, but just curious if anyone knows if there is a correlation between iga and MS. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏
