Sillies--I ate way too much pizza :huh: It was so good, I couldn't stop As if that wasn't bad enough, I topped it off wif homemade rice pudding. I'm very uncomfortable right now.

YUM!!!!!!! this is what I would do, and then would feel positively VOMITIOUS for quite a while. :lol:

Not sick--just stuffed.......had to change into me big fluffy robe--jeans got too tight

:o Paddeigh - OMG. the MOST alarming thing about this sentence is that........you were STILL in your jeans at - well, you're three hours ahead, so, must have been around 10 pm when you changed into your phluphy robe???????????

:blink:

simply inconceivable to me. I just HATE constrictive clothing..........jeans are like a straightjacket - wear them in public, of course, but the MILLISECOND I get home - - any type of clothing is IMMEDIATELY changed into sweats or pj's or some long, flowing summer gown, period. To have jeans on at home is just.........a particular version of hell, in my opinion.

:lol:

I would wear sweats/pluphy robe/pj's/boxer shorts every single day of my life, all day long and in public, if I could. :ph34r:

One reason I love my new job: have gone in unshowered at least once, and in sweats a few times :ph34r:

No reason a'tall to even TRY and look cute there :lol:

everyone is trick-or-treating! Or - scaring the poor participants (i.e. Bev - - nekkid, smeared with chocolate, pheverish, wearing metallic eyelashes and in a violent herx :o )

night-night sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Taking my Toblerone bar to bed now...........

my two favorite shows coming up:

Wife Swap :lol: (a phreak show)

The Ex List (adorable)

When are you meeting up with Em tomorrow?

We are planning on 12:30, but I am waiting to hear about the fairy ferry'schedule, so it is a bit phluid. Transportation logistics turned out to be a challenge, so we are going to meet at Open Original Shared Link on Bayview instead of at the store. A long, leisurely gluten-free lunch is planned. :P:) We wish all the sillies could be there, but I think a party that large would overwhelm the place. :(

a white/American Rastafarian family living in Florida, $3 in their bank account, four dread-locked little kids who all sleep in one bed, a dad who plays in a band for a living, and........days decided by who feels what whim..........

Marine Corps father and wife/family in a sterile, military home in Texas who assign all chores on a coloUr-coded spreadsheet <shudder>

So what do all these mean, and what results mean positive?

The total IgA measures your ability to make IgA antibodies. The IgA test is not a test for Celiac. However, if you are IgA deficient, it means that the IgA based tests are pretty unreliable, and you could have Celiac, and not test positive for it. Also, IgA deficiency is more common in Celiacs than the general population.

If you are IgA deficient, they can run the tTG or EMA via IgG (which is not affected by IgA deficiency)

Of the other four tests, none are perfect. The tTG IgA and EMA IgA are newer tests. Some doctors don't use the AGA tests anymore as they are not as sensitive or specific.

If someone tests strongly positive on the tTG or EMA, its pretty likely they have Celiac. Some people have Celiac and don't test positive on any of the tests, as the severity of damage in the intestines seems to be correlated with some of the bloodwork (meaning, more patchy/less severe/beginning stages of Celiac may not test positive via bloodwork)

Open Original Shared Link has good info on testing.

Next step is often the biopsy - depends on the doctor, tests results, symptoms, etc.

Also, taking gluten out of someone's diet, as you know, and having improved symptoms doesn't diagnose Celiac, but ---- it does take away the symptoms.

Anyone needs to keep eating gluten before testing.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
