Did Karen finally find some??? Is Terry out of the doghouse???

Rebecca, we just have a bit of silliness ... it's become a tradition. We act like we're being really bad, but we just get silly.

I have been on a quest - Altoids have mysteriously disappeared from shelves in Canada. I have been searching - they are nowhere.

Oh well, doesn't matter - Terry's still in the doghouse - I think he should really think about winterizing it - he's gonna need to keep warm through the winter.

My husband sells insulated metal wall panels, let me know if you need some :lol::lol::lol:

Terry doesn't sound like he's trying to hard to get out of the doghouse ... maybe he knows about the Altoid shortage and figures it's not worth trying! :lol::lol:

I think there is an Altoids conspiracy in Canada. LOL

Karen -- I can send up an extra space heater and a 50' outdoor cord, if you need it. Give him some extra blankets, too. Sure you guys up there have sleeping bags that are rated for below zero. I also have a little electric/or/ battery-operated T.V. It gets crappy reception, but then again . . . . Maybe someone else has a little hot plate . . . he could heat up some Chef Boyardee Ravioli on it -- right in the can. He can keep drinks cold outside. I'm thinking that we have a whole package deal going on here for him. Naaaaaaaahhh.... he wouldn't have to help around the house -- he might like it too much!!! No, make him stay INDOORS in the INSIDE doghouse!!!

BTW: I love your new avatar. Did you design that cat?

Also -- for all you Canadians -- I'll be happy to be your U.S. Altoids hook-up! Walgreens has buy one get one free every other week -- the clerk knows me by name ;)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      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.

      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—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.
