Sorry Jan- it....um.....(looking down at toe, swiveling phoot back and forth)....car wouldn't start. Yep, darn car:(

Trick or Treaters coming around now. Happy Jersey Halloween everybody! :-)

Think I'll join ya in that glass of wine, Lisa. (think there's room for both of us in there ?)

Hee

Lisa Mentor

Yup, wine always makes everything better. And home alone for the moment...it's a lovely noise.

Car? Ah huh... :rolleyes: You just wanted to stay and hand out countless pieces of candy to adults who drag their children along. :huh:

:ph34r: BOO!

jerseyangel Proficient

Ah, solitude! Nice every so often ;)

Got some 'call of the wild' free samples (I hope they were meant to be free :ph34r: ) at the chicken food store. Kitties are thinking they're getting treats. :)

I was sitting on my doorstep, li'l suitcase in hand.....several bottles of wine in my backpack....waiting and waiting.....

Okay, we gotta raincheck.....next time I'll fly to Jersey and we'll drive from your house, Pattiegh. If your car acts up, well, I'm stranded at YOUR place. I'll have my backpack full of pinot.... B);)

jerseyangel Proficient

Sounds like a plan, Em!! :)

Whatever. You know she was lightening up the backpack by 'sampling' the wine.

Just voted! Line was long already. I showed up right about 6am as thier were opening and got out about 647am. Line was longer when I left then when I arrived.

Darn210 Enthusiast

The advantages of not working . . . I'm going to go mid-afternoon and avoid all those people trying to vote on their way to work, at lunch, or leaving a tad early to vote on their way home for work. I'm targeting 2:00 pm. Four years ago, there was still a pretty darn good line at that time.

I'll be glad when this is over . . . I'm sick of the ads and I'm sick of the phone calls.

Darn210 Enthusiast

Well, a raincheck it is . . . the wine will keep (if we can keep Em out of it) . . . but watchu gonna do with all them oysters, Lisa?

Got any Junior Mints left, Patti? How about a sugar hangover? (I always have one of those the day after Halloween :ph34r: )

VydorScope Proficient

Ditto on putting the ads behind us!!!!!

jerseyangel Proficient

I hear ya, Jan-it. I plan to go mid morning for the same reason.

Wonder of wonders, there are actually a few boxes of Junior Mints left. :P

We had lots of kids last night--I was curious to see what would happen with it being postponed but it actually felt like Halloween.

Yes--the ads, and phone calls pertaining to the elections. Will not miss those at all!!

jerseyangel Proficient

the wine will keep (if we can keep Em out of it) . . .

<snort> :wub:

Darn210 Enthusiast

Hubby went this morning . . . 7:30 ish . . . 45 minute wait but apparently everyone we know was there to keep him company. :rolleyes:

Jestgar Rising Star

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions. 
    • knitty kitty
      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.
