Happy twenty ten youse guys!!!

I slept about 9 hours last night (that's a LOT for me). Briefly awakened at midnight by neighborhood fireworks but went back to sleep immediately. Suze, were you banging yer pots and pans at midnight last night?

. . . and Suze, I do agree that when you eat sweets you have to eat some salty to counteract but next time pick a differnt flavoUr . . . and I, too, hope it's not too ruff.

Probably one of the best meals I've ever cooked last night . . . hope the leftovers taste decent as there are quite a few.

Jaw update . . . I think I'm doing better but still gotsa ways to go. My teeth aren't hurting near as much, but my jaw joint still feels tired/sore.

Off to bake some muffins . . . I'm onto a really good recipe now and must go check to see if it was a fluke or if I can repeat myself.

What was this wonderphul dinner, Jan-it?? Please share :D Glad the jaw/teeth are showing signs of improvement. ;)

We stayed up till just after 12 our time--I never realized the festivities end at 12 eastern time (at least on TV :lol: ). That last hour was spent watching HGTV and dozing off from the wine and carb fest..... :unsure:

Ah....Nik's pinch-punch.....all's right wif the world :rolleyes:

All of our Christmas stuff is down and put away--now back to the fans and blinds.....we may get settled sometime in 2010, we hope :lol:

Leesargh - don't know WHAT to tell you, but it's three hours ahead where you are - WHOT did you decide to do???

We ended up sticking with tradition. Did nae want to worry about the food, and didn't feel like leaving our friends and a warm cozy house to treck across town to dance on a crowded little dance floor. We had a good time, and I made some awesome potato skins :)

I also had an awesome lunch with a coupla old friends........lots of laughter......SO much fun! I really missed them. Already planning to do it again over Spring break :D

All right: Operation Tree-Down to commence.......

I'm joining you! It'll be a phirst for me, procrastinator that I am! :P

I have high hopes for 2010.

Wishing everyone a brighter, happier, less stressful year, full of wonderful surprises ^_^

Well, it wasn't like it was anything that special . . . I did a pork loin (never did a pork loin before, only tenderloins). However, instead of dry and chewy (like I make my roast beef <_< ) it was moist and tender . . . Also had roasted potatos/carrots and sauteed green beans/mushrooms/onions . . . AND (and this is a big one) it all got done at the same time. :o:lol:

wif crustless pumpkin pie for dessert.

Storage boxes have started descending from the attic for packing away of the Christmas stuff . . . I'll make sure I go slow, wouldn't want to overdo it . . . will probably take the whole weekend :P

:lol: Nope, not this year.....I think I was asleep by 11.

and WHAT are these muffins you speak of? Sounds like your dinner was quite good....my friend made Pioneer Woman's pork tenderloin w/ homemade cranberry sauce - said it was TO DIE FOR -

in other news -

no signs whatsoever of a glutening :blink: Bowels totally normal today......

guess it was just a light dusting of barley malt flour - did nowt :huh:

Well, new year, new decade..........very happy to see 2009 go.......

Good things for all of us in 2010, hear hear! :) Happy New Year to all -

'Mornin', gang!

Oh, no.....another glutening! Crap, Pahteee. Hope you are better this am. Still dunno if I was actually cc'd - - it did not last long, and it was kinda crampy stuff, not bloating or D happening. Guess I'll never know.

Hey! Oracle POeter may know this.......I was just thinking about how I miss our great li'l emotifaces on this forum when I'm typing just about anything anywhere else. I wonder if you could move them into conversations in the facebook chat windows? I somehow doubt that the fb gods would have such settings.. . .....more's the pity -- I'm sure I am being completey misinterpreted when I'm furiously chatting away with someone, and I don't have that perfect li'l cackly phace at my disposal... . .. ...... :rolleyes:

Glad it was short-lived, Em . . . hope yours is too, Patti.

Yeah . . . I need these available for when I'm sending emails or writing my Christmas letters . . . a picture an emoticon is worth a thousand words and all that!!

jerseyangel Proficient

Yeah, thanks goils, I'm better today. :) Thankfully it doesn't last too long anymore. I took a couple pre-emptive Immodium (actually didn't have D with this round, but ya never know ;) ) and we're at Starbucks having a warm drink before running a few errands. Could have been cc or a combination of snick snacks and wine on New Years Eve. Like Em, I really don't know.

Jan-it--meant to comment on yer dinner (yum!)--how did you get the pork moist? I'm always afraid of undercooking pork and subsequently I over do it and it gets dry. Is it a timing thing, or do you have a trick up yer sleeve?

Pseriously considering getting me hair cut into a long shag and relaxed. It's that time of year again :lol: Been growing it out and am getting itchy to do sumphin. B) Opinions? Mark thinks I should do whatever makes me happy (read: stop talking about it and do it), Matt thinks I should keep it the way it is :wub: (not a chance).....

      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!

      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.
