Wish I had a nickle for every time Patteigh posted :rolleyes:

Me too :P

<_< My son said that, at about the time of the momentous post, he had a welcome phluid event.

Maybe after a certain point, the phlipover causes a helpful phluid event instead of a destructive one?

I'm loving that Pads' paramount phlipover became an Event.

Not that we have the authority, but if jerseyangel were promoted to jerseysaint it'd've been a real St. Paddeigh's Day, complete w/ sanctioned, neigh, encouraged synchronized imbibements. :lol::wub:;)

:lol: :lol: :lol: Pataughmn!!

When r the commemorative coins due out from Franklin Mint? :)

March. :rolleyes:

Patteigh, I think that's YOU on our pennies!!

I'm the Loon B)

Makes cents to me! :P

<snoooooooort>

Last year we had the world's most annoying sumbitc* of a snow storm two days before Halloween.

We did too, followed by the mildest winter in years.

Not when it takes your power out for eight days in the freezing cold! Probly not as much of a problem in CO though is it?

Though CO doesn't deal with it as well as MT does. We'd get two feet over night and still had to go to school and the buses still ran. None of this 3 inch crud.

Two feet overnight? Pah, a mere dusting.... . . ...

There were times when it was really difficult to open the front door to let the poodle out. Not to mention the poor car would be buried.

Clocks go back in the UK this weekend. So while some people look forward to an extra hour in bed Sunday morning, I get 2 kids who will be up at @5am instead of 6am for at least a couple of weeks

:(

Aside from that I love this time of year. 10 degrees and sunny here :)

The shift is disruptive--no question.

The problem is that mid-day (noon) is not the middle of the day for most people, just as midnight is not the halfway point in their sleep time.

There is one place that has it right, IMO. Saskatchewan does not observe DST. Instead, they observe Central Standard Time year-round. But geographically, they belong in the Mountain zone. So, in effect, they observe Mountain Daylight Time 12 months a year. See the province just to the west on the time zone map:

There are a couple places in America that do not observe it either.

Yes, Arizona (except for the Navajo reservation) and parts of Indiana. But they ignore it. Saskatchewan, by using a time zone east of where they actually are, effectively observe it year-round. Solar noon occurs around 1:00 every day of the year. The middle of my waking day is closer to 1:00 than it is to 12:00. It is actually much later than 1:00.

      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?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      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. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      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.
