Skeeter update . . . testing that was done by the arse GI came back clean . . . had to find out through my pediatrician though. Pediatrician contacted the arse allergist that we saw over two years ago about what he check her for.

Anyway, pediatrician is ramping up to order some diagnostics so we can light a fire under the appropriate specialists. I like her . . . she's very much of an "I'm in it with you" kind of person.

What a bunch of ARSE crackers (except the pediatrician)! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Goosey- That whale bone vertebrae sounds SO cool!

From past experiences with Olympic venues (Salt Lake City): Because these are so popular, you can probably get them after the Olympics. For at least 1 year before and 3 years after, you could get SLC Olympic stuff at gift stores. I think the mittens were made for charity to pay for the Olympics. We were at Whistler last year & got our Olympic shirts. Going to be in Tahoe area this year & at Squaw which had Olympics in 196? & they still have Olympic stuff.

I baked yesterday, I experimented with gluten-free, vegan chocolate cupcakes with vegan chocolate/espresso frosting......Wholly sh!t, they were AMAZING!!!! I didn't know vegan could taste like that! They were in no way psilly ;)

Let it rip. I won't tell anyone, and you can blame the dog/child/husband or anybody else who happens to be in the room. :ph34r:

Thanks for your support!! :lol:

Finally found the Burly Robed Messenger's Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal. Just made some for lunch as I still have a headache (may be gluten withdrawl). Loved it! Its a cross between Cream of Wh#@t & Oatmeal, 2 of my old favorites. On to the chocolate as it replaces the endorphins my brain is supposedly missing.

OK, next time, add a pkt of hot cocoa mix to the cereal while you're cooking it......WOWZA!

Funny to be around Deaf people who think you can't hear them fart :lol:

If it's so cold you can see your breath and you fart outside, does a puff of 'smoke' appear near your bum???

Skeeter update . . . testing that was done by the arse GI came back clean . . . had to find out through my pediatrician though. Pediatrician contacted the arse allergist that we saw over two years ago about what he check her for. I don't know if you remember this, but he could tell by looking at her that he only needed to check her for environmental allergens. He also told me to challenge the celiac disease diagnosis because . . . wait for it . . . "the diet is too hard" . . . ummm, yeah, that's the reason you should challenge the diagnosis. Anyway, pediatrician is ramping up to order some diagnostics so we can light a fire under the appropriate specialists. I like her . . . she's very much of an "I'm in it with you" kind of person.

Pseriously?? I know we've been obscenely lucky with our doctors for the kids, however, I work with some of the arse-crackers. Tis very unfortunate that there are so many of them!!

I'm headed up there in a month or 2, if you don't git yer mittens, let me know and I'll see if I can rip some off. I'm sure if I say "please" they'll just hand 'em over. I LURVE Canadians!!

Olympic mittens have been plentiful around here, and they're only nine bucks. Ours say "Canada" on one side with a maple leaf, and the five rings on the outside. I stood looking at them not long ago, and put them back after I checked the label and it said, of course, Made in China. Dunno, just seemed kind of. . ..... . .dumb, er sumfin'. . . . ....:rolleyes:

Although I suppose if they were made over here they would be twenty bucks. . . . . .. ..

Patteigh! You left a cup o' pee at the lab? Precisely a cup? They needed eight ounces exactly? Did you pee in a measuring cup? :rolleyes: Actually, a cup is a whole lotta urine to be handing over. I usually put the li'l plastic container underneath mid-stream for a second only, and hand them that - - about an ounce, likely.

Isn't that fascinating? <_<:lol:

But that big orange jug - - man, that's a whole other ball game. . . . . .....

AND: WHY oh WHY do women not have access to very wide, shallow containers?? We are given a skinny, long container, not a problem for men, nice and neat.. .. .......us women...bah. Infuriating.

<snort>

I didn't mean it literally, Em! :lol: I used the lil cup they handed me.....no wheres near an 8 ounce capacity which made it a pain to maneuver. Managed to get an ounce or two in there--that better be enough. :unsure:

I'm sporting a cute purple smiley phace stretchy bandage around me arm B)

Aren't ya all just so happy to know all that??? :P

Cupcakes sound great! Will try the chocolate. I ate it with more brown sugar than is good for me.

Count down to the disco pah-tay tomorrow night. Friends are stashed in secret locations and I have the most obnoxious ABBA inspired outfit ever (with huge hoop earrings and a feather boa). The waiting is killing me! Senor K. knows something is up but not what. Asking for hints. I told him the only thing I can guarantee is that he will hear "Dancing Queen" at least once tomorrow night. :lol:

Skeeter looks at everything to see where it's made. Skeeter quote . . . "We need to go to China. They have everything there."

Skeeter's going in for another blood draw tomorrow . . . major allergy testing . . . I think it's gonna cost me some bigtime dollars (stupid insurance deductible) but I need some answers and if I get some, then it's worth it.

Bevel, looking forward to a review and pics of the par-tay. Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . I still haven't received my invitation in the mail.

Of course it is. I hope that this leads to the discovery of what's at the root of her symptoms. :)

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?
    • Fayeb23
      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!
    • Scott Adams
      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
    • RMJ
      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
    • Bev in Milw
      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
