Bevvvi . . . I shall join you. 12-year old son of some friends started chemo today. :( Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

I absolutely will. It's so much worse when it's a child. :(

My BIL's dad has taken a turn for the worse so they now think it's only a matter of days. He was just diagnosed before Christmas. BLECH!

But Raychelle's right- we need some giggles. So Open Original Shared Link

I hate this, I can't open any of yerz links at work-all blocked to ensure there's no happy biznezz at work! I will have to wait till I get home to laff today <_<

My son's little girlfriend was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 3 years old. It's been a really rough road the past few years, but she's now in remission and only has about 9 months left of her chemo. She's doing soooooo well right now! I'm thinking about being a Chemo-Pal for the Children's Cancer Association, but might wait till Max is in 1st grade to ensure I have the entire day to devote to these kiddos. Sumphin I've been thinking about for a while, I just think the timing may be off at the moment...

A round of prayers to all y'allz and yerz friends and familias!

Bwah! This is an excellent move, and I'm no Scot! :rolleyes: Phunny we're discussing this - - this past week I had a childhood buddy, who I've lost touch with but suddenly reconnected with on Da Book, over to give me an estimate on central air. It is about a third cheaper if we do it now. But still bloody expensive. Now THAT's the Scot in me. . . . .. . ...:lol:

I'm not at home. There are two other stores in the building, and one has been leased and is being renovated. But since last night's low was the coldest yet this winter, it just seems ironic.

Not sure wot is up with the emoticons. I can lay down a string. Need a blank between each instance, tho.

Thanks, Em :wub:

Spent the day with hubby.......Home Show at the fairgrounds, dinner, then spent the night in a hotel. Hard to get time alone these days ;)

Poopers, Knick! hate going to the dentist, but better than the alternative. I went to an oral surgeon several years ago to have a couple of teeth extracted. He was supposed to put some kinda spacers under the gums to keep my other teeth from moving and to have the anchors already in place for whenever I can afford to have implants.......still waiting on that one

Anywho.....just found out at my last visit that not only did he NOT put in the spacers, he also left part of one tooth which will now have to be DUG OUT!!!! :angry: I don't even remember the name of that @#!% oral surgeon!

Cancer sucks! Sending healing thoughts to all those in need.

:(

Soozle!!!!!!! Are you my birthday present???? :D

You want a what?........a recap?

Hmmmm.....lets see.....since you've been gone.......

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research. 
    • ekelsay
      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:    
    • Scott Adams
      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.
