I'm afraid this is my fault, Judith. I failed to enter your new email address into my gmail account--I just had it in my Comcast one. I coulda sworn I added it to both accounts..... :ph34r: That explains why you didn't get the forward I sent to everyone.

So-o-o-o-o......I throw myselph on the mercy of the court B)

Anywho, it's been rectified (hee! I said "rectified" :P), and you are now back in both "sillie groups".

. . . just too caught up in stuff at the moment.

Ditto!!!!

Smackl had a big project due Wednesday. Skeeter had a small project due Tuesday and voluntarily(Smackl would never do such a thing) signed up for the Science Fair which was last night. We were there for 3 hours!! Smackl has belt testing for TKD tonight. Hubby leaves for a week long trip tomorrow. Throw in the regular stuff . . . homework, piano lessons, blah, blah, blah . . . after hubby leaves, I'm going back to bed for the rest of the day.

Good to see you Juedee.

Hiya Jan-it :D

I need some funny things to say to my FIL on Sunday night. He's a doozy. In town for a couple of days & BIL is having us all over for dinner. Told Bro about Celiac & knows a little & will try hard. I'll bring food, too. FIL is retired dentist who knows everything about anything medical. He will "know" all about Celiacs, too. Probably the only time he heard about it was when he went to a dental convention. It was the workshop he skipped to go to the pool for margaritas. SIL says she is serving lots of wine to help her & I get through it. May eat at the kitchen table with 4 teen boys.

Whenever the topic comes up offer him a margarita to jog his memory.

:lol: :lol: Jyaghnutt crackin' up at Patti crackin' herself up cracks me RIGHT up. ... ...

Kherrighn, I remember addressing the subject of celiac to my dentist when I was first diagnosed, as it likely explained my lifelong battle with cavities and enamel deficiency. He is an older man, ready to retire.. . .. .. .....and he looked at me like I was from another planet. At least he had vaguely heard of the illness. He smiled politely and mentioned something about it being related to faulty digestion, and therefore not at all to oral health. <_<

So, you could have an interesting time with your tippling FIL. . . .. . . ......

Wow! Emmel, you is so clever--quoting yourselph within a post afore ye have even posted it :unsure::blink:

Dat's a durned clever trick!! I won't even attempt to emulate it :P

Joodee, so good to see you back. Did I miss an update and a Velcro pic?? How is the wee darlin'?? Has he become a California kool kat? My Main Coone kitteh could never have been a California cat--when it gets to be 80 degrees in the house she looks at me so piteously, and says "DO SOMETHING"!!! (I am wearing a fur coat, ya know!!) :lol: and flops down on the tile floor. So muggins turns on the air conditioning, FOR THE CAT!!

Well, I am certainly glad that all the things that needed rectifying have been dooly rectified by our chief rectifier :lol: and hope that no more rectification needs to occur because I for one do not like to be rectified on any account :o .

I am one of the fortunate few whose dentist has a celiac wife and children :) so needs no education. He does not, however, serve Margaritas! And just when ya needs em too, so you can dribble them out of the side of your mouth that's numb and down your chin and onto your clothes :rolleyes: I have to wait to do that with my capucchino to which I always treat meselph after dental punishment. :rolleyes:

Clay is happy because summer (as he knows it from CA) is phinally in phull bloom. All that crazy stuphhh that was coming up from Antarctica is finally staying down in the Southern Ocean where it belongs and all is good in our household for a while. Thank (the higher power) for no smog!!, one of the things I was happy to leave behind. Of course, driving down the road I have to keep the air on recirculate because Kiwis have a lluuvv aphair with diesels, and not the modern ones but the dirty stinky ones from days of yore--PeeYugh, makes me coff 'cos my lungs are shot from the CA smog :( There's just no winnin' wherever ya goes.

Who is this Taylor? And will he or she make a word for my FIL?

Emmel, you is playing tricks on me. Because your post which was included in the quote from Ghianknit is no longer in the quote. Wotinell is happening here? :huh:

Yeah, I love rectify too. Geo. Eliot: "You can neither straighten their noses, nor...rectify their dispositions" :P

Kitteh is now flopped on top level of her condo, three legs in the air, belly exposed to the full blast of the air con :lol: Not a lady, my kitteh!

Well........ .. . . Rectify is a funny word....... but I've got a funnier one for your FIL, Khearrihn: FRUCTIFY. 'Tis an intransitive verb, meaning to bear fruit, reproduce or make productive. As in, Jooooodie will be fructifying her property in California.

Kherrighn, try to use this word in your discourse with your FIL. "Now, here......have another margarita, Dad - - it greatly fructifies your wit".....

:lol:

Em's right--then go out into the kitchen and have another glass of wine :lol: Repeat as needed.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms? 
    • Wheatwacked
      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.
    • RMJ
      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.  
    • Samanthaeileen1
      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
