At this holiday time, I'd like everyone to stop for just a moment with me,

And say a big

THANK YOU

For never having to politely choke down another piece of fruitcake again!

I also don't miss fruitcake - I used to get one every year from my boss. I finally escaped from it. :D

No! I love fruit cake too. In fact, I haven't ever had fruitcake I didn't like. I miss it! (But my thighs don't...)

I like fruitcake (a high quality one!). I also really like your picture :)

I was glad however, to be able to turn down all those horrendously fattening and sugar loaded sweets that I really wouldn't have enjoyed even if I could have eaten them!!! Huzzah!

I'm on another message board with a lot of "foodies" where the discussion was what your most hated food was. Over half said brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts are one of my favorites. It just goes to show you that for every food that someone hates, another person is going back for seconds.

I've heard that the thing with fruitcake is that when it's done right it's wonderful, but when it's done wrong it's just so very, very wrong. Just like brussels sprouts... ;)

:D

Mmmmmm.... Brussel sprouts.... Making my mouth water. Fruit cake on the other hand is something I can definitely live without.

Yea--I like brussel sprouts, but I just don't like the taste of candied fruit--so I've never even tried fruitcake. :ph34r:

LOL!!! Another fruitcake hater here. :)

I do love my brussel sprouts, though! :P

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works
    • trents
      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
