Tomorrow's A Snow Day!

Tomorrow is SO a snow day!

That arctic storm coming across the Pacific Northwest came down during our commute home (and pretty much only during that). Something around 6 inches of snow during those 2.5 hours. (Note that it usually only takes 25 minutes. <_< )

Given that there are plenty of cars stranded on the freeway, and more on the street coming up the hill towards our house, and the roads were icing over at 7pm, it's probably not going to be safe to go to work tomorrow morning. :P Given that our car is parked in a parking lot 2.3 miles away and we'd have to walk through the snow (again) to get to it (at least this time, *not* up the big hill :lol: ), it might be kinda hard to get in anyway. :rolleyes:

So it's a snow day! :lol:

Of course, our workplace (my husband and I work for the same company, same project, same group) "doesn't shut down due to adverse weather" but we "can flex our time to make up the time later in the week or take vacation time, but not sick time". :blink:

Yay for snow day! Too bad I can't go skiing. :P

Bad weather is coming my way, it just seems to be taking the roundabout path to get here. I'm prepared to stay home for a couple of days!

We got a couple inches down here (north of vancouver).

Supposed to be one icy mess tomorrow morning. Poor dh can't get out of work....he's a local truck driver. He'll be allowing twice the normal amount of time to get where he needs to go.

We're all doing the happy dance here too. All the kids will be out of school, we have 6 inches with more coming down (slowly now) and we all LOVE the snow. It's a treat here - last time the area got hit we only got 3/4 inch.

I only got a little on Bainbridge, but my walk up the hills of Seattle was interesting....

Hopefully we can get out by Friday, because I have plans on Sunday and can't work *both* weekend days! :)

Well, I don't know about snow or ice, but we sure have wind here! It's gusting so hard, it takes everything I can muster to keep the car on the road. I think we'll be staying home tonight!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa
