So we are having a " fun" 4 th. hub is installing 2 faucets we bought 6 years ago. Boys are at the tent from 8 am today until 2 am. I'm just cleaning out some drawers/ cabinets. At least it's cool in the house.

I think chickens, raccoons , coyotes and hikers would melt here.

Thanks Shroom:). It's going around-- several people we know either have it or have just gotten over it.

I'll keep an eye out for that soup ;)

Happy 4th of July to all of you celebrating. Boy have I missed you all. After I took a fall Memorial Weekend I was fairly out of it and vision was off. I'm doing much better. Just have to have an MRI to see if there are any fractures. I didn't go to the ER because of all of my bruises (didn't want Superman questioned) and also after spending a week in the hospital in January I didn't want to take a chance that they'd admit me. Not too smart but what's done is done.Rob did keep waking me the first night because I'm sure I had a mild concussion.Just came back from a lovely neighborhood BBQ and I left earlier than Superman as we're leaving for NJ tomorrow and I still tire very easily. I have been keeping up with the posts and sending positive energy and healing hugs to all of you. Will try to be better about keeping up with you when we return.

Love,wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Happy 4th all!!

We had a hot one here . . . Smackl is on the TKD demo team so he had to perform in the 4th of July parade here . . . two miles with constant demos along the route. Temps at parade time in the low 90's but high humidity. Lost two kids (had to ride in the support truck) along the way due to heat. Then Smackl had to work the booth at the festival from noon until 5:00 with a full demo performance at 1:30. . . and all these kids/staff are wearing their standard uniforms(lightweight and loose but long sleeves and pants). He was a trooper . . . I didn't hear him complain once. He also knows that he totally has the day off tomorrow. He can plant himself in front of the computer and shoot all the zombies he wants.

Good to see you Loey and take care of yerselfs, Patti and Mark . . . and Loey!

Loweeee!!!! I've been wondering how you've been doing! Was going to do a shout out for you but you beat me to it!

Patteigh....sucks about the phlu. You and Mark get better soon ♥

Well, we had originally planned an all day motorcycle ride (yes...we still ride) with friends to go down across the Ohio River, but it was just too dang hot. So we ended up having a bar-b-que.

Them rocks will get ya! I once went hiking in a rocky national park (well, the trail wasn't rocky but there were rocks everywhere except the trail, and those rocks were all third rocks from the relentless SUN which held HEAT and we was gone most of the day. And I had a hat and two bottles of water, both of which I employed, but when I got back to the hotel for a nice cold amber one I was sick as a dog for two days (felt like sunstroke and heatstroke :P ) GAHHH. Avoided rocks ever since :rolleyes: And sun too!!! for the most part.

Sorry bunny :( ({{{HUGS}}} too)

YEAH! Lisa

"snort" Vscope

dat all?

Lovely 4th. Watched the fireworks from the boat - excellent view, and 'home' is 2 seconds away, down the ladder.

The bread turned out fabulous, and much easier to regulate consumption in 1 pound loaves. Even the Pirate thought it was good with home made butter.

Mulberry (the silkie) is broody again. She's managed to acquire 5 eggs which I've marked, and will leave under her (since I'd have to throw them away otherwise), and I'll check daily for new additions to limit her collection.

Play is done, auction is done, just sent in my little bit of work for the stat lab, forecast says 'no rain' - should be a fabulous weekend.

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      @trents Good question. We are strict at home, although I have to admit I've eating the odd chocolate at Christmas that turned out to have been made in a shared facility. But that is very unusual for me, and I had my last blood test before Christmas anyway. Therefore I have concluded that eating out must be the issue. But I'll let you know in September...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write this. I have been pretty worried so appreciate reading any advice. Yes, the endoscopy will include a biopsy, and we have hopefully found a good pediatric gastro to guide us through it all. Will also run the HLA typing - I have the swabs ready to go.

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @melthebell! I certainly would have a biopsy repeated as it has been 5 years since the first one. You mentioned he was scheduled for an endoscopy but make sure a biopsy is also done. It's possible he, like you are, is a "silent" celiac where the damage to the intestinal mucosa happens very slowly and can take years...

      Persistent isolated high DGP-IGG in child despite gluten-free diet

      Hello community; it's nice to have found you. I am a 42 year old biopsy confirmed celiac. I have had it since I was 18. Well managed on a gluten free diet. No idea if I have the gene (presume I do) as never tested. Diagnosed as was anaemic and had a high celiac market (can't recall which), and a positive biopsy. Asymptomatic. Given this, I regularly...

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      @par18, I don't totally disagree with what you say in theory. But like many things in life, one size doesn't fit all. While a formal diagnosis of celiac disease or NCGS is certainly not essential since, in the big picture of things, eliminating gluten is the antidote to either, there are some other considerations that give importance to seeking a formal diagnosis...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @melthebell! I certainly would have a biopsy repeated as it has been 5 years since the first one. You mentioned he was scheduled for an endoscopy but make sure a biopsy is also done. It's possible he, like you are, is a "silent" celiac where the damage to the intestinal mucosa happens very slowly and can take years to manifest to the point of being detectable and where symptoms are minimal or absent. At 10 years old, his immune system may not be mature enough het to trigger the usual IGA responses that the IGA celiac tests are designed to detect.  I would also have genetic testing done to confirm that he has or doesn't have the potential to develop celiac disease. The genetic profile can also offer insight into the type of celiac disease a person will develop if they ever convert from latent to active. Take a look at table 2 under the section "Types of Celiac Disease" in the article found in this link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9980758/  Genetic testing is available from 3rd party labs. I think you just have to send in a cheek swab sample.

      Hello community; it's nice to have found you. I am a 42 year old biopsy confirmed celiac. I have had it since I was 18. Well managed on a gluten free diet. No idea if I have the gene (presume I do) as never tested. Diagnosed as was anaemic and had a high celiac market (can't recall which), and a positive biopsy. Asymptomatic. Given this, I regularly test my two children. My eldest is the child in question. First tested at age 5 due to slight anaemia. Everything negative except for a slightly high DGP IGG (slightly elevated at 25). Not IGA deficient. Did a biopsy with a pediatric gastro, was negative. Next test at age 8. Everything once again negative, high DGP IGG at 116 U/ml this time. Living in a country now with no celiac knowledge so decided to whack him on a gluten-free diet and see how he goes. Next test at age 9 after a year on gluten-free diet. Everything once again negative, high DGP IGG at 174 U/ml this time! On a gluten-free diet. Final test was a week ago at age 10, on continued gluten-free diet. Once again a positive DGP IGG, this time over 250 U/ml. On a gluten-free diet. what the heck is going on with my kid? We have seen a pediatric gastro via telehealth, who was equally puzzled and suggested doing a gluten challenge and an endoscopy, which we have schedule for end of April. Kid is otherwise fine. Energetic and growing well. No significant gastrointestinal symptoms. Has anyone encountered something like this before?

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      Domino's and Mountain Mike also has glutenfree pizza.However the issue is the cross contamination. Not worth a few minutes of yum yums i n the taste buds with a painful explosion later.
