I have to say Ptaum, that before you pointed it out (during the previous CeliacS conversation . . . if you want, I'll go back and quote it), I don't think I ever paid too much attention to someone typing/saying CeliacS. Now when I see/hear it, it's like fingernails on a chalk board . . . thanks ever-so-much for the enlightenment.

:D

There's just SO MUCH of it .. . ..AGHHHHH!!

This time it wasn't just because it was in the acct name, but that the post said it 2 or 3 more times, and the celiac in question had just joined the week before.

I also have a gnack for remembering stuff that didn't even happen.

<chuckle chuckle> :lol:

Well! I hope you slept well, Ptaum,

I most certainly DID sleep quite well, thank you.

Sarah, no smoking mountain in addition to its absence in your hand, mouth & lungs??

Today's the Las Vegas wedding! Of course, hoping Kissey2 catches all of the marital projectiles...

Hehehehe the nuptials were high noon Sunday :P

Bah! Bien sur.......I knew this..... :rolleyes:

So, my mom's eightieth birthday is next week, and we've long been talking about a big surprise party for her. Well, last week when I had the family over for dinner, she said about five times, "I do NOT want any party!! I mean it! Nothing! Just call me and say Happy Birthday". So we told her we were going to have a birthday party for her, and simply not invite her. She seemed quite happy with that, failing to sense the ridiculousness of such a plan. :huh:

...This is my life...... <_<:lol:

Where is everyone? Patti? Nikki? Sarah? And we haven't heard from Alex lately...I think about Colin all the time, and I'm dying to hear how he's doing...

Hi Emily :)

I'm here--in and out. We had a busy weekend and today I'm cleaning and dealing with about a ton of laundry :lol:

I did come on and read, though, so I'm up on everything sillie :D So funny about your mom's birthday. She'll have fun once she's there with everyone--you are doing a party, right?

My dad turns 80 next week and my sister and I are giving a surprise party for him at her house on Saturday. We'll drive up Saturday morning and hopefully get there by noon (it's about a 4 hour drive). We will spend the night there and spend Sunday afternoon with Mark's mom, sister and aunt before driving home Sunday night.

It should be fun--we expect about 25 people, several of which I haven't seen in a while. I hope my other sister (the one with the depression) will come. With her, we really won't know until that night--she'll either be there, or she won't. :(

It seems as though many of us have parents born in April.....could this be the common thread that binds us? Emily- Your mom...too funny. My dad turns 78 April 19th and he'd say the SAME thing!!!!!!!!

Patti- Didn't know your sister was still the thick of it :( That makes me sad. :wub::( It's a tough time of year.........

OK- I must research Open Original Shared Link :P

Hehe my Dad's Bday is Apr 4th!! :D

Hi Sillies...I am writing from my bed where I am sitting home sick in my Pj's. I was ready to go to work but I didnt get there...I was just not feeling well enough to go. So I napped until 11 and now I am just hanging out in bed surfing the net...

Sounds like a good plan. Feel better soon! <that's an order .. .oh damn .. . ..my authority was usurped pages ago>

Patti, such a shame about your sister .. . .. :(

Am I recalling correctly that she doesn't believe diet can do that and gluten-free isn't worth a shot?

Yes!! I shall phone my mother this evening, tell her it's all solved...My brother, sister and I will continue to organise a big eightieth birthday party, only it will be for PATTI'S DAD, and she really should come. It's perfect!! Patti, what is your dad's name? I'll need it for the cake. And what size shirt/pants/socks is he? My mom may wish to pick him up something...

I love it. My mom wanted NO Happy Birthday stuff from anyone in the family, and now there's a whole bandwagon..."Uh, Mom....many, many peoply are celebrating your eightieth today, kind of like the simultaneous lights-out-around-the-world thing"... :lol::lol:

Oh, man...how many people do we know whose lives could completely turn around with this diet change? I lost count in my circle some time ago...sometimes it threatens to make me crazy with frustration! :angry:

Gee, it's been pretty quiet in Sillyville today.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, Manda, hope you are better soon.

I hope Sarah is doing well, I haven't heard anything. She was last on the boards about 11 hours ago.

Parental birthdays, is it. None in April here. February and August, and for both of them, 80 has come and gone. But we can still all have a celebration of sorts on the seventh.

Another April Birthday! Another common thread amonst us Sillies :rolleyes:

Thanks Tom, about my sister....yeah, she had a breakdown and was hospitalized last year for several weeks on two separate occasions. I have explained the Celiac link, sent up reams of articles and other information--and to no avail :(

The kicker (and something I can't believe I'm the only one in my family remembering) is that several years ago she saw a Kinesiologist who put her on a diet that omitted gluten among other things. She reported then that she felt the best she had ever felt. Slowly as she reintroduced other foods, she began this horrible spiral downward. She hates conventional doctors and won't seek testing--her husband is no help at all. I have appealed to him every way I know how. I've hit a brick wall....

It will feel a little akward if we see him this weekend--I was a bit pushy at one point. But at least I was trying to help. <_<

Hello Sunday Sillies- Welp, Susie's in Vegas (what happens in Vegas stays there? I always figured if it happened across state lines that rule applied- what makes Vegas so special?).

:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

:wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaawd sillies...................

how can I explain vegas to those who haven't been?

:huh:

PURE DEBAUCHERY.

I survived it. :lol:

we are very, very tired..............um, let's just say - I barfed three times in the cab on Saturday night - but that is because of something I will tell you later (not just alcohol) and........Kissey got a bit sick last night. But did not barf (should have)>

Just the quickest hello - - - I am sooooooo tired - - have to go - - and back later - - will catch up tomorrow

:wub:

Love you sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Susie!! :)

We're all living vicariously through you, and await with bated breath your Vegas stories. Three barfs? Well, you must start wif this..... :lol:

psawyer Proficient

Well, I've been to Las Vegas twice, and it was pretty far out. My last visit was in 1993, and I understand it has just gotten further and further away from reality. The hotels just keep getting bigger and bigger. In 1993 we stayed at Harrah's and thought it was big, but at least three new properties more than twice the size were under construction. I've been to Reno a couple of times, and would much rather go there.

It sounds like you had an interesting and exciting time, Susie. You must tell us all about it.

Party next Monday! Oh, yeah! B)

Patti, our anniversaries are only 4 days apart! :D Brian's and my 8th anniversary is tomorrow. Yup, we got married on April Fool's Day. (I was destined to end up here with the sillies eventually. :P )

Weelllll, I did smoke a few cigarettes today. :ph34r: But only like a quarter of what what I normally would, if not less. Still working on it.

Welcome back Susie! Eek, on the barfing! What happened!?

Morning Sillies!

Here I sit at work, finally feeling better....wish I was home though :) Don't we all? Surprisingly warm and thats nice too :) But its rainy and dreary and I wish I was still home.

Morning, Sillies!!

Happy Anniversary, Sarah! I was going to come on with some insane story about my dad being a Roman gladiator last night when we visited him, and seeing the yeti sitting in a McDonalds on our way home, and then proclaiming, "Ha!! April fools!!"

Then I realized that I do this kind of thing every day... <_<:rolleyes:

We've been planning a trip there ever since we got back from Europe...our next "far destination"....We thought about this December, but the money just ain't there right now. Maybe in a couple of years. I just hate all this having to PAY for stuff.... :huh::rolleyes:

Party next Monday! Oh, yeah! B)

:lol::lol:

Okay, Susie!....On with the Vegas stories....

      I just thought I'd update this post. My father has had some issues with his heart rythym and we found giving him an electrolyte drink plus a vitamin D supplement with extra calcium containing food (yoghurt) made a big difference, and very quickly. My own problems with ectopic heartbeats started up again with warmer weather so I thought I'd take a leaf out of his book, and now, for the second time, after just one Phizz Electrolyte Drink, and a dose of vitamin D (Fultium D 800 x 4) with a milkshake, my ectopics disappeared within the hour.   Probably the Phizz drink rather than the D with calcium, but maybe it all helped?  Just mentioning this in case anyone is looking for answers.

      Do you have the standard range for the test results you received? A level of anti-tTG2 antibodies at least 10x the standard range is almost certainly (>98%) due to coeliac disease. Moderately raised levels can be caused by other conditions as well as coeliac disease. Accuracy of the No-Biopsy Approach for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis It is possible to have latent or early stage coeliac disease without histological changes visible by microscope. As has been suggest in this thread, if the repeat test comes up negative and serology is high, request an HLA genetic test from your specialist. Only 40 % of the population carries an HLA gene variant enabling the development of coeliac disease - if you test negative for this, it is quite unlikely that you have coeliac disease.

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.  
    • cristiana
      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.
