Yes, I definitely need some 'woo hooo' ph34r.gif

Hope you get some............wink.gifohmy.giflaugh.gif

MIL update. J is back and tells me that her mother is on some SERIOUS pain meds after the surgery which are affecting her judgement. She is as high as a kite and is experiencing an escape from reality (can I get some of the stuff?). Anywho, the catheter and IV are expected to be removed tomorrow, along with the restraints.

all this with dementia is really rough. Hope the restraints will help her relax. Sorry about this Peter. Best to J.

Wow, it was much easier to keep up back when I was sick!!! Lazy day here, daughter home from school sick, so maybe I can keep up today ..... until I go kick some butts late this afternoon in my pilates classes.

Laura is on FB, too, so I see her there, though I know it's not the same as here. :)

Lots of nasty political ads here. Loved this phrase about a Congressman on the challengers commercial: called him a " Prodigious Porkmiester".

Will have to work that into a conversation. :)

Well, I confess that as a mod, I have access to one clue about Llama Lady that is not available to ordinary members. I can see the IP address from which posts are made. So, after looking at some of her posts again, I started wondering what famous female who has appeared on television would be in the Sacramento area. When a name popped into my head, I investigated, and all the pieces to the puzzle seem to fit.

There has long been speculation that celiac disease might run in the Kennedy family. Look at the posts, and ask yourself if the person who wrote them could have written a book for children.

Our annual Halloween shindig is coming up too, but we're supposed to go as fairy tale characters :blink:

I wish there was some sort of theme! That would help the decision making! I think I'm gonna hit Value Village on Thursday wilst the kiddos are in gymnastics. Apparently they have an amazing selection--and cheap!

Yes, I definitely need some 'whooo hooo' :ph34r:

And a little 'YeeHa' ;)

3rd date sounds good for a little kissy kissy. Can't wait to hear about it! :P

Hope all is going well. Sorry about it all :(

Yeah, come to think of it, I hope all is well wif Rash-schell :unsure:

No drama, No hangovers!!

In fact, my stomach was aching so bad on Sunday from laughing soooooo hard!! We played this game called 'Things' (Open Original Shared Link) and it started off really tame, then got WAAAAAAAAY raunchy and heelarious (questions like 'things you wouldn't do on your desk' and 'things you shouldn't do in a theater'). Before that we had the radio turned to a classic rock station and had multiple rounds of Jello shots, so we were singing away, doing a 1000 piece puzzle. Everyone had a great time and the weather couldn't have been more perfect!

Well, here is a shot of Maria and the Guv's cozy li'l home. .. . .. ..I'd say it's a go for the psummit. There is likely enough space for us all to have our own rooms. . . .. ....maybe two or three rooms.

I could bring the dogs... . . . . and the cats. . . . . ....we could all bring our parents.... . . . ..

But unfortunately, I do not believe there is room for MILs.... . . .. . .<_<

That must be their private home. I'm trying to post a pic of the Govenors Mansion. It's not nearly as big. It says no one lives in it. I don't remember where the Govenator actually lives in Sac.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      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...

      nothing has changed

      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.
