Wowie, Shrooom! What a happy ending to a horrible tale. Such a vicious, mean act - - not just taking someone else's things for profit, but the purposeful stealing of photos and cherished items of a person that have absolutely NO value to a thief. :angry: :angry:

So, Jyessss got her glasses back. . ... . . . ...did you have a chance to put them on at all during the twelve hours you were over there, then? :PB)

Hey guys!! Real life CSI!!

My gawd Shroomie--what a horrible thing :( I hope they throw the book at that heinous crook and that your sister can get some of her personal things back.

To take things that doesn't belong to you and trash the place besides.....the lowest of the low.

I vote that Patti goes to the store and gets the cream cheese!

Here's my lovely Valentines Day . . . Hubby left for a week long conference in San Fransisco. I guess the present is that I don't really have to cook all week . . . kids prefer hot dogs and stuff.

On the cream cheese situation--I emailed Mark to ask him to get some on his way home. He passes right by the A&P.

OMG... . . . . ....that cake looks delicious, Patteigh. . . . .!

We just got back from our romantic Valentine's dinner. Me, DH and Jack. :rolleyes: I asked Jack if he felt at all awkward, being the odd-man out, the third wheel, and he looked at me like I was right out of my mind. :lol:

Boston Pizza now offers a gluten free personal pizza, so we each had one. Awesome.

J and I both enjoy it. We have been several times since they started offering it. I understand that their source is Kinnikinnick.

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease.

      Since you compromised the validity of the antibody testing by experimenting with gluten withdrawal ahead of the testing, you are faced with two options: 1.

      Hi Kayla Huge sympathies. I was diagnosed in December, after 8 months of the most awful rash, literally top to toe. Mine is a work in progress. Im on just 50mg dapsone at the moment but probably need an increased dose to properly put the lid on it.

      Test interpretations

      I had been eating reduced gluten until about 3 days before the test. I did realize that wasn’t ideal, but it was experimental to see if gluten was actually bothering me. One slip up with soy sauce and it was quite clear to me that it was, lol.

      Test interpretations

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also high, which can sometimes affect how the other antibody tests behave. Another important factor is that you were reducing gluten before the test, which can lower antibody levels and make the results less reliable. Because of that, many doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten regularly for several weeks) before repeating blood tests or considering an endoscopy if symptoms and labs raise concern. It would be best to review these results with a gastroenterologist, who can interpret them in context and decide whether further testing is needed.

      Since you compromised the validity of the antibody testing by experimenting with gluten withdrawal ahead of the testing, you are faced with two options: 1. Reintroduce significant amounts of gluten into your diet for a period of weeks, i.e., undertake a "gluten challenge". The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of testing. Note: I would certainly give it more than two weeks to be sure. 2. Be willing to live with the ambiguity of not knowing whether gluten causes you problems because you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we have tests for it. Celiac disease has an autoimmune base. NCGS does not. GI symptoms overlap so without formal testing for celiac disease it can be very difficult to distinguish between the two in the early stages if it is celiac disease. Both conditions require elimination of gluten from the diet for symptom relief. Some experts feel that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.

      Possibly. Your total IGA (Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum) is actually high so you are not IGA deficient. In the absence of IGA deficiency, the most reliable celiac antibody test would be the t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA for which your score is within normal range. There are other things besides celiac disease that might cause an elevated DGP-IGA (Deamidated Gliadin Abs, lgA) for which you do have a positive score. It might also be of concern that your total IGA is elevated as that can indicate some other health problems, some of which are serious.  Had you been practicing a gluten free or a reduced gluten free diet prior to the blood draw? Talk to your physician about these things. I would also seek an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for damage to the villous lining, which is the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease.
