I think Vika has a 99% chance of dying when spotting Maddie! :)

Tru Dat! I bet you they weigh about the same and Vika is only about 2" taller. I think she's my age too :huh:

God help us all when she moves to the uneven bars!!!

And/or when she gets bigger. ...... .. .. . :unsure:

My DD had such a pitiful time as a wee kid in gymnastics classes. I would stand wincing and grimacing as she repeatedly fell off the beam, rolled off the mats and tripped through various tumbles and cartwheels. At the end of what turned out to be her final lesson, she executed a lopsided cartwheel, turned on her heel and hurried over to me. Red-faced, she said "I need to put myself in front of a hockey net and start stopping pucks"... . . . ..

And so it went. :rolleyes::lol:

Assassin update: No confirmed kills yet. J found his prey's car at the girlfriend's house (not J's girl friend). He jumped on the car & shook it to try to get the alarm to go off so the boy would come. The car wasn't locked so no alarm! :P

After Max's first class last week, during free time he was doing front flips off the beam and then the higher ring platform into the foam pits. I sit there with my heart in my stomach the whole time. During his class, however, I laugh nonstop for 45 minutes. These preschoolers are Heeelarious!!

Hey all--about time you made it back, Rah-shell..... ;)

Oye, what a day. Went to the salon, Estaban greets me wif--got some bad news, the product was supposed to come in yesterday but didn't get here. :huh: Anywho, he said he could go pick it up and be back in 20 minutes--how sweet was that :rolleyes:

so I occupied meselph by watching a lady get hair extensions put in. Had no idea how that worked--and what a production it was.

So, hair gets done--been there 2 hours at that point. Stopped at a grocery store near the salon that has a few things I can't find at Kroger. Whilst I'm in there, the sky opens up and it starts pouring.

I get about a mile from my house (still damp) and all traffic was stopped due to a tree that came down during the storm. Phinally got home 40 minutes before the house was to be shown--and thank goodness, not complaining about that at all but I had to spiff up the joint quick and turn on all the lights since it's such a gloomy day.

Just had a spot of tea and a Lara bar....so very relaxing :D

And the best part--I'm not bald :P

We should all play it! We would have to find each other lurking on different forum topics. Or we could actually shoot water guns in person. I want to get Nik or Rachelle when she is in Hawaii.

A wee bit--I quickly used the blow dryer and a big round brush and it smoothed right back out. :)

.. . ... And your hair was perfect for the showing! The most vital thing, methinks. A potential buyer couple may have walked up your laneway, saying things like "This is lovely. I love the feel of the property, the neighboUrhood, the landscaping. .. .. . ....oh. . ...wait..... .. ...here comes the owner... . . ... . .whoa - - check out her HAIR.. .. .... . .what's up with that? Jeez, I dunno.. . .suddenly I'm not so sure.. . ... ...her hair isn't great, that has to mean something about her house.. ..we need to proceed with real caution"..... . .

When we get enough pluses we become excellent. What happens if we get a large negative number? Will the mods kick us off? We would have to come back with new secret names.

Used to work at a hospital in California where it is sometimes and in some places legal or sorta legal for medical purposes. Never heard it prescribed for the parent but would make sense. have you ever watched the show "Weeds?" The soccer mom was loosing business to legal pot sales.

Skeeter has a boy calling her . . . just a friend looking for some help on a video game that they both enjoy . . . but he knows no rules. He calls as late as 9:00 at night and he just called (8 am) this morning. I won't even call people at those times!!

Soooo not looking forward to that!! DD tried to convince me that she "just had to" call her friend to ask a "very important question" (about Justin Bieber ;) ) at 930 Saturday night. I said NO WAY! I'd be P.O.'d if someone called her after 8pm!

So, I get up this morning and my laptop is dead--nothing!

This is tragic! I shall pray for you! ;)

We had the problem with one of Matthew's friends. He didn't want to 'be mean'. So we cut his phone off. He finally got mad enough with them and told them to stop calling after 9 because they were getting him in trouble.

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By trents · Posted

      If your total IGA is low then the values for the other IGA tests cannot be trusted. They will be depressed. Celiacs who have the DQ2 gene typically are on the more sensitive side as opposed to those who only have the DQ8. But keep in mind that having either or both of those genes does not equate to having celiac disease as 40% of the general population have one or the other and only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. Genetic typing can be used for ruling it out, however. Because of the low total IGA, symptoms and the possession of the DQ2 gene, my suggestion would be for you to go seriously gluten free for a few months and see if your symptoms improve. It may be the only way you can ascertain if you are gluten intolerant because of the low total IGA.

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By Cat M · Posted

      Ah ok, I just saw didn’t even post the DGP IgA at all. 😫 I started with itching and hives Jan 2024, been taking a ton of meds and on Xolair and even that is not providing total relief. The other primary symptoms: intermittent but worsening abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating. This summer I am just exhausted. I uploaded my 23andMe data to genetic lifehacks and discovered quite a few variations, including DQ2, MTHFR, VDR and I have always had very low ferritin, vitamin D and B12. I still think that mast cell disease makes the most sense, but latest labs show I am barely in range for thiamine, zinc and vitamin A, so the GI stuff feels more important to figure out than the hives right now. I did SIBO testing this morning. TTG IGA <2   0-3 is negative TTG IGG  3   0-5 is neg DGP IGA 21    20-30 is weak positive DGP IGG 4    0-19 is negative Although total IGA is not resulted, there is a footnote stating it was low and the reason they ran IGG.

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting case. A positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody with a negative endomysial antibody (EMA) and normal duodenal histology can present a diagnostic challenge, especially in an asymptomatic patient. While the absence of villous atrophy and negative EMA suggest that the likelihood of active celiac disease is low at this time, such serological discordance may still warrant monitoring. Some individuals may be in the early stages of celiac disease, often referred to as potential celiac disease, particularly if they carry the HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 haplotypes. HLA typing can be quite helpful in this situation; a negative result would virtually rule out celiac disease, whereas a positive result may justify periodic follow-up to monitor for evolving disease. The risk of progression to overt celiac disease is not well defined but appears to be higher in children, those with a family history, or those with autoimmune conditions. In this case, routine follow-up including repeat serology and consideration of symptoms or new risk factors over time would be a reasonable and cautious approach. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen! Just curious, what is your relationship to the patient? Are you the attending physician? A medical student? A consulted physician? Was a total IGA test ordered? Some physicians are under the dated and mistaken impression that such is only necessary in young children. If total IGA is low, other IGA antibody numbers will be artificially depressed. By the way, it is not unusual to have a positive TTG-IGA and a negative EMA. Are the TTG-IGA numbers borderline high or unequivocally high? There are other diseases and medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA numbers besides celiac disease but when this is the case, the numbers are usually not dramatically elevated. It can also be the case that villous damage was patchy and affected areas were missed during the biopsy. Or, onset of celiac disease was very recent and villous atrophy has not yet progressed to the point of detectability.  We also have occasional anecdotal reports in this online community of positive antibody testing with negative histology, as you report. But we also know that gluten intolerance can manifest itself apart from enteropathy. It can damage other organ systems. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning there is an absence or a relative absence of symptoms until the disease has become advanced and there is significant damage to the villous lining or other organ systems. But to answer your questions: 1. I would definitely pursue a routine follow-up and recheck of the antibodies. And, I would order a complete celiac panel including total IGA and IGG stuff in say, six months. Sooner if symptoms manifest. 2. It is impossible to say what is the risk of the future development of over celiac disease. I refer you back to my #1 above concerning rechecking.  3. I would definitely pursue HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing as it can be used as a rule out for celiac disease, though not quite with 100% dependability. I hope my thoughts prove helpful to you.
