I'm not a Nascar fan, but I LOVE racing. We mostly like sprint cars, micro sprints, go karts, and so on. That's pretty much all the local scene is around here. Actually, our business focuses on making fuel injection systems for micro sprints. You into any other forms of racing?

I think you & I have gotten on this topic before on a drag racing post. My husband & I drag race but we love to watch Nascar. We are going to Bristol again in March.

That may very well be. My memory is horrible. We went on the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour a few years ago... That was all drag racing. I probably told you that before though. We worked for Stewart Warner Performance and were doing a booth at each stop of the tour.

Yup. Absolutely adore it. I grew up around racing. We started going to the track when I was about 3. I started racing when I was 7. I only quit a few years ago. We still go to the races two times a week every week. It's a blast.

So, what kind of drag racing do the two of you do?

My husband and I love the nascar races also. Dayton 500 will be right around the corner too!!! We use to go to the track in town for many years and hubby pitted for cars and also ran water truck a few years on our dirt track. For now we just watch it on tv. We watch the sprint cars also. And busch race on Saturdays if we are home and not outside, truck race is watched very little just to catch up on the news of it all.

Hey, a fellow sprint car fan... Woo-Hoo!!! What kind of sprint car races do you go to? 410's?

My ultimate favorite driver has always been Darrel Waltrip!! I also like to watch Kevin Harvick, Casey Kahne, and more. My husband want to go to Daytona in 2008 for a week or more. I think he said it will be Daytona's 50th anniversary so there would be a special feeling for him, he thinks. As far as sprint cars we have them in our area rarely. But on Wednesday nights one of the channels on tv carries a dirt race and sometime they are the sprint cars. Like Eldora!

Nascar fan here! My favorite is of course Jimmie Johnson. He is such a cutie too! I am actually liking Denny Hamlin this year too.. I loathe Tony Stewart, Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon! I cant wait for the new season to start, we have never been to a race though. Some are close, like Lowes but they are next to impossible to get tickets for!

      Is this celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal.  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) the small intestin in Celiac Disease and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  Why is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even know that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So as part of your symptoms you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were sypmptos. Our western diet has many deficiencies build into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks for symptoms can come on quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, and indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog, deficient choline, iodine, thiamine. Dietary intake of choline and phosphatidylcholine and risk of type 2 diabetes in men: The Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
