got another idea for a halloween costume--Lindsay Lohan--so I'd do a dirty red wig, prison jumper pulled tight on the top with some cleav and black bra and fancy belt, rolled up on the bottom with the ankle monitor and some fancy pumps, a syringe taped to my arm and a baggie of cornstarch for the coke....

Overdone??

Today normality officially returned to the shaky isles :rolleyes: The godwits, knowing nothing of earthquakes in the lower hemisphere, officially returned to Christchurch, and church bells pealed across Cathedral Square in the heart of the city to celebrate their annual return after a nine-day, 11,000 km (no, sorry, I don't do conversions, just live with two systems) migration from Alaska, to the common estuary of our two rivers for their summer feeding grounds. :D Remarkable birds, those godwits - sure glad our Boeing 777-200ER jet doesn't take that long. Can you imagine nine days wifout food, or taking along gluten free food for the ride??? :unsure:

DH and I have gone as famous, easily-recognised couples to Hallowe'en parties, and the real reason that we were so incredibly phunny and memorable was because I went as the male figure and hub went as the woman. This you should do, Rah-shyelle... . . ....you're the cop, he's Lindsay. Yer peeps will be talking about it fer years. . .....

Rachelle, love the Lindsey idea with one of you as a cop or guard.

Shroomies bird's must be thinking, " What the French toast happened here? We leave the humans in charge for a few months and they trash the place!"

Just looked the birds up. J is impressed with the athletic ability. I like the long beaks.

Well... . . ...here is some certain comedic fodder. In their description of the black-tailed godwit, Wiki states that "The winter plumages are fairly drab, but three species have reddish underparts when breeding."

Omg. . . . ... . .:unsure:... . . . .their areas turn RED whilst breeding? Whot in hell?.. . . .....Trying to come up with a pragmatic, evolutionary reason for this to happen. Plumage, size and coloUr changes are said to occur to ensure the procreation of species by attracting the opposite sex.

Hmm. I should think that red would suggest a big stop sign for me. .. ....

Canna imagine being attracted to.. . . ..something suddenly red.

However, I am not a godwit... . . .. ....

Just went to the "Gluten Free Gala" at HyVee grocery. For some reason there was a huge array of sweets to sample but nothing else. I did my best to sample them all! Some were extremely delicious!

Actually, I think it was Mother Nature what did the trashing. The humans did the befouling of the estuary :o, since the sewerage system isn't fully restored and some of it is still escaping into the rivers:unsure: Hope the godwits stay safe.

Curly Lisa, you could go as a character from Shrek. They are sort of twisted versions of fairy tale characters.

The background characters? Wicked witches parents? They must have been some mean, twisted people. The police looking for Snow White when she disappeared into the woods? Did they put out an Amber Alert ?

Didja bring any of our other missing psillies with you? :unsure:

People!!! What am I doing here??!!?? We're camping this weekend and I have not even STARTED getting ready!!! Gah!!!! OK, so maybe it's one of those unconscious subconscious things of not really wanting to go. Uggghhhh!!! So much work for so little time actually on location.

You're camping THIS weekend???? HERE?????? :o

It is waaay too cold at night, as far as I'm concerned.

Didja get rained out yet?

My favorite Halloween costume was when my friend dressed in ragged, dirty clothes, gave himself a makeup black eye, and his shirt read, "The Economy." One year I was Strawberry Shortcake, one year my husband and I went as Johnny Cash and June Carter...You could be a couple of the kids from Twilight...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
