That was great! Loved the boxer on the trampoline!

Think if we taught Cooper to ride a bike, he wouldn't be so afraid of them?

Did you see the boxer dog on the trampoline? That should cheer you up. I'm thinking of getting a trampoline just to put my neighbors boxer on.

That sounds like fun! I asked for shooting lessons at a local range for Christmas, but I didn't get them. I think hubby was a little nervous about that one :ph34r::P

Have a WONDERFUL time tonight - you deserve it!!!!! I got to enjoy alone time this weekend. Think I already mentioned (brain fog) Clark was going back to NJ to visit pfriends and pick up Tony. I was supposed to go out with a girl[friend but she was sick. Thought I'd be lonely but I watched a good movie (chick flick) called The Women. By the time it was over I was ready or bed. Clark and TOny should be back by around 5. Clark called twice to make sure I tuned on the night setting of the burglar alarm (awwww).

Love you psillies!

Went to see Open Original Shared Link. It was awesome. Small supper club,full, but not packed. We had a table on the balcony looking down on the band. Music was fabulous, as was the food.

slow weekend, huh? . . . that's alright, I hate when I've been off for a couple of days and feel overwhelmed by the amount of reading I have to do . . . :P

Went birding yesterday . . . we're a hardy lot. Probably about 12 of us total with temps less than 10 degF and a windchill about 0. We're looking at going on a field trip next Saturday to an area where bald eagles roost . . . supposedly have the potential of seeing 80 to 100 bald eagles.

Went to PF Changs tonight . . . man I love that place.

You're a weather show-off!

We are supposed to get massive amounts of snow! Stock up on milk, cold cuts (judging by the deli counter line) & TP.

Wood, perhaps?? :D

I'm going to jinx us by saying this but, our power never goes off. Its almost all underground.

Unless you meant something else by that comment?

mushroom Proficient

Now what else would I mean?? B)

Our power always goes out - there is this rinky dinky line that does fine until it gets to just before us, and then it becomes the kind of line that goes over hill and dale forever and ever till it gets to the end of nowhere, where there are no roads, but plenty of branches :unsure: and if any one of those branches hit this line, boomp, we're out. But we got this luvverly soapstone stove that burns wood and it will keep you toasty forevver :D (so long as you gots wood, that is, so see, what else would I mean??? :lol:

Jestgar Rising Star

mmm yes. You need lots of wood to keep you warm. :P

All the schools are closed. We only have about 2 inches of snow but its supposed to keep it up until at least 5 inches.

There seems to be a dearth of silliness around here.

A paucity?

psawyer Proficient

It is indeed eerily quiet here in the land of the psillies.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time. 
    • nataliallano
      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.   
    • Zuma888
      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
    • Scott Adams
      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! 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:

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.
