I went to bed. Slept till almost 5 this morning. :D :D :D

I had forgotten how good it feels to sleep for 8 hours. I gotta do my week's shopping before starting on the house. Don't have a full day to paint 'cause rehearsals have started.

Tradition! Tradition!

Mornin' Pholks!! Went to a "Hoe Down" fundraiser last night. It benefited a Hippotherapy facility. It was held at the facility so I got to pet all the horsies. Smackl would have loved to have come with us but then she would have seen the big framed horse photo collection thingy that we got for her at the silent auction. I just love silent auctions. I do some of my best Christmas shopping at those things.

Also wanted to mention . . . it's that time of year . . . I'm headed off on my 4th? 5th? annual girls trip to Hilton Head. I leave on Tuesday and I'll be back Sunday. I really need a break after working four days at the preschool. Did I mention that I got to deal with my first vomiting incindent at the school? I was lucky enough to miss them all last year so I got hit with an early one this year.

OK . . . laundry's going . . . have to lay in the supplies before I leave . . . also pack up hubby and the kids for a camping trip whilst I'm gone. Lotsa work before I get to leave.

Jgeoess....how kool to be participating in a musical! It's gotta be a real gas!!!! Wonderphul that you make the time to do such great things. Hehehehehe....the bawdy innkeepers wife :lol:

Kurly Lees....love the pic! Must be getting close to arrival time...how exciting!

Em-a-lisch .... at least you're finding out now that you need to replace the phur-nase....better than when it's bitter kold and you got snow up to yer tusch! Hope you can get a super-duper efficient model...more heat than you can stand and really cheep to use (nice to think about anyway).

Seriously thinking about cleaning up the flower beds, getting bulbs ready to store, bringing in the tropical plants and statuary. I hate, hate, hate to think of winter coming. Then again...we are still picking tomatos in the garden and it's almost October! Still hoping for balmy weather before the cold comes...(you're probably all thinking that I'm some kind of dreamer...er sumfin... :P )

Hope all is well in psillivilli. Keep it shiny

Hey flourexpertgirl . . . or Juedee . . . or anybody else that might know . . .

Last year I brought in a plant that I wanted to winter inside (would not have made it outside and it was 'spensive). Apparently it was infested wif gnats (eggs in the dirt?) What do you do to prevent that?? What do you do if it happens anyways? . . . :ph34r: . . . btw, plant died anyway (hubby's fault).

What kind of plant was it? Not that it matters to the fungus gnats....just curious :P Anyway, before I bring the plants in I water them with a mild dish soap solution, and wash down the leaves to kill anything I can. Then I place a gnat-trap in or by the plants.....a small dish with dish soap and soda. The sweet attracks the adults and the soap dessicates (and kills) them. There are also "sticky traps" available if you can find them...yellow is good. Hope this helps you some. :)

Awwww Jude :( krap, krap, krap, krap, krap. Can you sue the inspectors? Or at least try to get them to fess up and pay for the damage/kleen up? They have to have insurance against this sort of thing (don't they?). Keeping you in prayers.

Jooooodie, that is disgusting. :angry::angry: What a horrific thing to come home to, and what a band of idiots -- I've got steam coming outta my ears!! Tareeeesuh is right...the company must have insurance against this kind of unbelievable behavior.

But this is the very last thing you need.

Stay strong, girl!

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal. My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut...

      My bad. I should have reread your first post as for some reason I was thinking your TTG was within normal range. While we are talking about celiac antibody blood work, you might not realize that there is not yet an industry standard rating scale in use for those blood tests so just having a raw number with out the reference scale can be less than helpful...

      @CC90, Your Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor and has immunosuppressive effects!!!! This is why your endoscopy didn't show much damage to the intestinal lining!! The Lansolprazole is suppressing tTg IgA antibodies in the intestines, but those antibodies are getting into the blood stream and causing inflammation and damage in other organs...

Eating a high carbohydrate meal can deplete Thiamine Vitamin B 1 causing digestive symptoms like you describe. You could also be having difficulty digesting the oils used in those chips. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can help. We need the eight...

The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.

      My bad. I should have reread your first post as for some reason I was thinking your TTG was within normal range. While we are talking about celiac antibody blood work, you might not realize that there is not yet an industry standard rating scale in use for those blood tests so just having a raw number with out the reference scale can be less than helpful, especially when the test results are marginal. But a result of 87.4 is probably out of the normal range and into the positive range for any lab's scale. But back to the question of why your endoscopy/biopsy didn't show damage despite significantly positive TTG. Because they took the trouble to take seven samples, it is not likely they missed damage because of it being patchy. The other possibility is that there hasn't been time for the damage to show up. How long have you been experiencing the symptoms you describe in your first post? Having said all that, there are other medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA values and sometimes they are transient issues. I think it would be wise to ask for another TTG-IGA before the repeat endoscopy to see if it is still high.  Knitty kitty's suggestion of getting genetic testing done is also something to think about. About 35% of the general population will have one or both genes that are markers for the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop celiac disease. So, having a celiac potential gene cannot be used to definitively diagnose celiac disease but it can be realistically used to rule it out if you don't have either of the genes. If your symptoms persist, and all testing is complete and the follow-up endoscopy/biopsy still shows no damage, you should consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. If not celiac disease, you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

Sheesh!  Doctors can be so ignorant.  I've seen this so many times it's frustrating! Take the B Complex and Benfotiamine.  Get off the Lansoprazole.  Go with the DNA test results.   Welcome to the tribe! P.S. B vitamins are needed to correct anemia!  Not just iron.

      Hi, @kevert93, Those Gluten Assist enzymes digest carbohydrates, not just gluten specifically.  Eating a high carbohydrate meal can deplete Thiamine Vitamin B 1 causing digestive symptoms like you describe.  You could also be having difficulty digesting the oils used in those chips.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can help. We need the eight B vitamins to digest our food, carbs, fats and proteins.  Poor digestion can cause symptoms like vomiting and stomach pain, brain fog, headaches, exhaustion.  Try taking a B Complex with the activated forms of the B vitamins (Life Extension's Bioactive B Complex is great!) and additional Benfotiamine.  The B vitamins are used to make digestive enzymes and will allow your digestive system to function properly.  The B vitamins also will improve headaches, exhaustion, and brain function.  Taking Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine will improve digestive symptoms and lower inflammation, too.  Benfotiamine and the B vitamins are safe.  The B vitamins are chemical compounds found in whole foods, not in highly processed foods like chips.   The body cannot make the B vitamins, so supplementing is beneficial.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.
