Been off 1 day and had to read 4 pages just to catsup. You guys are prolific. Got the rules.

I have to tell you that I am no longer elongating or coming. You see, this large piece of chocolate magically appeared by my pc and I ate it. Everything went away, but I was exhausted and felt the need to smoke.

Morning Sillies- can't for this day to be over--very boring and very tired. I am thinking I am bored since I know next week I am on vacation but still. Long weekend- made the final trip to the fair to pick up the items I had entered. Too many miles on I-81 the last few weeks.

So my bestfriend was my maid of honor in my wedding and then she disappeared from the face of the planet...not literally but I have no physically seen her since. It was odd. Every now and again we would email and stuff and then after not hearing from her in 6+ months she dropped me a line in May and asked about celiac since one of her friends got diagnosed. So from there she went on to apologize about her absence- lost her grandma and that sent her into depression and all. So we continued on talking and she told me she was with this guy who was real special and she thought he was the one...and how she couldnt wait for me to meet him. This morning she puts a thing up on facebook that they are getting married.....well that came out of the blue!

They just started dating in June....

anyway- so hurricane season is heating up- to all our southern sillies please stay safe!

The heat is getting outta control here too...

oh last and not least my MIL is now on the book and she bephriended me......

Em!!..how's the foot? :unsure: , still swimming?

Maybe you could still do svenning Spinning for cardio (not weight bearing)??

Dear gaaaawd!! T'is exhausting tho' -_-

Crap.........da foot is perhaps marginally better... . . ..but I cannot stand it, and I want it better NOW. :angry::angry: Stress fractures can apparently take 6 to 8 weeks to really heal, and that is probably with lots of rest. Um, that is not happening here. I am doing NO pounding (cannot -- too much pain), but I continue to walk to carry out errands, tread water like an idiot, bike like I'm trying to break some record. I cannot do less than this......gotta keep my blood sugars within reason - - and with this lessening of my heart-rate during workouts, my control is currently not great. :(

Administering more insulin.... . . ....dislike this, but must.

Spinning! Yes, I may take a few classes regularly, now...... . ..

Just a BIG HARRRRUMPHHHHH.

<_<:rolleyes:

Nik has a homosexual cat? :huh::lol:

Lithuanian kitty :lol::lol:

Are you sure he's not Burundian? :ph34r:

Burundian cats are apparently quite unique:

My MIL is a holy roller as my own mom calls her...she is very preachy...and opinianted especially when it is about what she likes/believes....

but she sends out very dirty fowards....Last week she sent one and I didn't think I could send it on to anyone since I didnt want to offend anyone.

sorry to hear about your foot. I rcently had a bum knee and went CRAZY 'cause I couldn't get around. Knee healed but I'm still going crazy. Are you 1 or 2 diabetic? I'm type 2, but it seems to be going away.

Two all. I'm beginning to understand my fixation with SHM. He has the same chin as my husband, who has been neglecting me lately. So I'm channeling the affection to an inanimate object who will love me unconditionally and not talk back. And, if you drop the M, you have the initials SH, which are MINE. It becomes oh so natural and sane. And I thaught I was going crazy! No way.

I am leaving to go to doc with friend. She has metastatic breast cancer. She had a tumor removed from her brain 4 weeks ago and will find out today if she will be going to get anymore chemo. Celiac is such a peice of cake!

Type one, for thirty-six years. :wacko: That is fanTAStic that you may become free of your type two. Have you lost a lot of weight? This seems to be the leading way for non-insulin dependent diabetes to disappear. 'Tis a great thing........ :)

Damn- Hopes dashed again. Well, I've still got the husband. Even though he is sooooooo annoying lately. Thats what I get for marrying a younger man. They don't "mature up". Just like my kids! Am I the consumate MOTHER? Or, does SHM look like the old man that I should be with? Maybe its not SHM, maybe its my need to grow old gracefully with a man who is stupid enough to think I'm still beautiful.

I'm new to this. Who'se the artist? I used to be one.

My cat is so funny- I swear he suffers from seperation anxiety--just from me going to work, I spend my first 2 hours at home with him glued to me.silly kitty. He is also co-dependent....

My baby, Peaches, wails like crazy if we go outside. I'm pretty sure she does this when we go to work. But when we come home...it's "buddy time" first and we have to play before she'll concede to cuddles and kisses. We just adore her. She thinks that she should walk on 2 feet like we do....and then she hops like a kangaroo!! She lays in the *wet* bathtub after I finish with my bath.....has her own toothbrush and "brushes" her teeth, thinks she should be able to sit up at the table (actually she stands so she can see what's up there), she is so much company. I think kittays are a true gift from God!!!!

Busy day here.....and very hot. Love it, love it, love it!!!! (someone's gotta :D ). Hoping for more summer weather before fall drops in. Somehow the days get late wayyy too fast! Later!

No more bugs, Sooz. Just the one--very big and distinctive looking, so I know it was the same one. We're lucky--I think being up on the third floor helps wif the bug situation. Never had to worry about such things up north.

KitCat in the shower :wub: So cute :D I don't blame yer mum--tis worrisome, the thought of the miscreant and his ilk.

Minimom....where did ya go???? :unsure:

This is quite typical of MM--the first episode of a new season is a bit underwhelming.....especially after waiting so long between seasons. If you stick with it, I think you'll get wrapped up in the story and the characters--many layers there--well written (I think) but understated.

The only thing I didn't love were the British (sorry Nik) guys. Only because I liked SC the way it was--there was far too little John Slattery last night fer my taste. :P

The opening part with the flashbacks was a bit Manchester......done in kind of a weird way, but yep, I loved it :D

Oh, Peaches,what a sweetie. She and Miss Em would get along fine. Miss M comes right in the shower room with me but hides behind the curtain so she doesn't get tooo wet, then lies on the wet tiles. And she sits on a chair at the table at dinnertime and thinks she's people. Just rests her chin on the edge of the table and "dines" wif us. Yeah, that's me, besotted wif me cat. Sorry; it's been over two months !!!

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, SORTED!! Sleezen really is a true silly - chocolate first, followed by another bad habit :lol:

Damn, as I get older am runnin' out of bad habits; chocolate, check,check, check; booze, not so much any more; smokes, NAY; streetwalking -- YA MUST BE KIDDING1; gluttony - pretty hard with what I'm left wif; lessee, orgies is out, swingin' --- I think NOT; can anyone come up with some bad habits for me???

Glad my moms and my MIL are not around to citicize, well I don't mean the not around but I do mean the criticize part--ample scope there :lol: Emmel, have you tried water walking for yer foot?; the water takes all the weight off and you still get to move around and exercise. T'was my favorite exercise until I could no longer find a place to accommodate it. You can do a whole range of exercises in the water.

Soozin, so sorry about your phriend; she is lucky to have you.

"Your call is important to us." :angry: :angry: :angry::o

Gawd, dis is the biggest lie ever perpetrated upon innocent telephone customers; if ye really cared you would hire some more peeps to woman the phones!

Minimom....where did ya go???? :unsure:

Yeah, since Minimom was dethroned she has abandoned us. Did you have anything to do wif that, Patteigh? You is the likeliest culprit

I hate me stupid over-reactive immune system......

They are a pain in the pattuti, aren't they?

Chicken tractor :lol:

I had this image of a tractor towing a plough and the civkebs following along behind scratching for worms :lol:

PSILLIES, I walked into the doctor's waiting room today, and there was Sam Hill Manhead gazing at me from the cover of a magazine sitting right on top. I almost phainted. That long straight nose, that chiseled chin (literally), the semi-nekkidness... and then I discovered it was Thomas Jefferson on top of Mount Rushmore on the cover of the Smithsonian. Quelle disappointment!! :(

Yes and such a teeny chirp from such a large feline---you'd expect a roar out of them since they are like lions...nope just the sweetest little meow.

Sillies I am tired today I am not sure if it is the hectic traveling lately or the heat but this girl is worn in!

Next week I am on vacation but John is not so I decided to go spend a week at my moms and do some stuff just us. My aunt and uncle are also in from FL- they arrived yesterday. They dont stay at my moms but I only get to see them yearly...last time was before the wedding they did not come up last year do to those heinous gas prices- I decided I am taking my mom to Niagara Falls next Monday. We are going to leave at 5am and do a day trip. She has never been and I know she would love it. So I am heading northbound and then after the falls we are going to go to Fort Niagara park, have a picnic lunch and then visit the lighthouse. My moms first. We are then heading to Rochester for some thrift store shopping. I can't wait!!!!

Well work should be started

      The first set of results show two positive results for celiac disease, so at the very least it looks like you could have it, or at the least NCGS.   Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.      
    • Scott Adams
      Elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and they are a key biomarker used in its diagnosis. However, there are some rare instances where elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in conditions other than celiac disease. While these cases are not common, they have been documented in the literature. Below are some examples and references to studies or reviews that discuss these scenarios:  1. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)    - NCGS typically does not cause elevated tTG-IgA levels, as it is not an autoimmune condition. However, some individuals with NCGS may have mild elevations in tTG-IgA due to intestinal inflammation or other factors, though this is not well-documented in large studies.    - Reference: Catassi, C., et al. (2013). *Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: The New Frontier of Gluten-Related Disorders*. Nutrients, 5(10), 3839–3853. [DOI:10.3390/nu5103839](https://doi.org/10.3390/nu5103839)  2. Autoimmune Diseases    - Elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in other autoimmune conditions, such as type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hepatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This is thought to be due to cross-reactivity or polyautoimmunity.    - Reference: Sblattero, D., et al. (2000). *The Role of Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase in the Diagnosis and Management of Celiac Disease*. Autoimmunity Reviews, 1(3), 129–135. [DOI:10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3](https://doi.org/10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3)  3. Chronic Liver Disease    - Conditions like chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis can sometimes lead to elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to increased intestinal permeability or immune dysregulation.    - Reference: Vecchi, M., et al. (2003). *High Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: A Role for Gluten-Free Diet?* Gastroenterology, 125(5), 1522–1523. [DOI:10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031)  4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)    - Some patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis may have elevated tTG-IgA levels due to intestinal inflammation and damage, though this is not common.    - Reference: Walker-Smith, J. A., et al. (1990). *Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease*. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 10(3), 389–391. [DOI:10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020](https://doi.org/10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020)  5. Infections and Parasites    - While infections (e.g., giardiasis) are more commonly associated with false-positive tTG-IgA results, chronic infections or parasitic infestations can sometimes lead to elevated levels due to mucosal damage.    - Reference: Rostami, K., et al. (1999). *The Role of Infections in Celiac Disease*. European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 11(11), 1255–1258. [DOI:10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010](https://doi.org/10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010)  6. Cardiac Conditions    - Rarely, heart failure or severe cardiovascular disease has been associated with elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to gut ischemia and increased intestinal permeability.    - Reference: Ludvigsson, J. F., et al. (2007). *Celiac Disease and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study*. American Heart Journal, 153(6), 972–976. [DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019)  Key Points: - Elevated tTG-IgA levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and in most cases, a positive result strongly suggests celiac disease. - Other conditions causing elevated tTG-IgA are rare and often accompanied by additional clinical findings. - If celiac disease is suspected, further testing (e.g., endoscopy with biopsy) is typically required for confirmation. If you’re looking for more specific studies, I recommend searching PubMed or other medical databases using terms like "elevated tTG-IgA non-celiac" or "tTG-IgA in non-celiac conditions." Let me know if you’d like help with that!
    • MaryMJ
      I called zero water and they state their filters do not contain gluten or gluten containing ingredients. 
    • trents
      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.
    • Jack Common
      Hello! I want to share my situation. I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching one year ago. I thought I could have celiac disease so I did the blood tests. The results were ambiguous for me so I saw the doctor and he said I needed to do tests to check whether I had any parasites as well. It turned out I had giardiasis. After treating it my symptoms didn't disappear immediately. And I decided to start a gluten free diet despite my doctor said I didn't have it. After some time symptoms disappeared but that time it wasn't unclear whether I'd had them because of eliminating gluten or that parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. Giardiasis also damages the small intestine. The only way to check this was to start eating bread again as I thought. Now about my results.   These are my first test results (almost a year ago) when I had symptoms: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months. Symptoms disappeared. And I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   Nowadays I didn't have any symptoms except tiredness but I think it's just work. I think it was this parasite because two years ago, for example, and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten food. But I'm still not sure especially because the Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG results are sometimes high. What do you think? @Scott Adams
