What a great show last night. So many singers I haven't seen in a long time. They all sound great and everyone looked like they were having fun. Its great that AI is a show enjoyed by people of all ages. There aren't many shows you can watch with your kids and you both enjoy it. I wish it wouldn't end but it did along with everything else. :angry: :angry:

I'm glad Jordin won ;) Yeah Jordin. Well nice to have met all those who contributed to this thread, its been fun. Have a nice long weekend and blueeyedmanda remember the baby can't stay. hehe Give her a kiss for me.

Thanks Gail,

It was hard saying good bye to the baby, I was off to a dentist appointment and normally I would dread it but I got my braces off today! I got them when I was 22. I wanted to fix a couple crooked teeth. Boy am I happy I did. It feels great without them too. :):):)

So, what shows do all of you watch regularly (if any)? We watch House and that's about it now that Idol is over.

Well, we Canucks are lucky, because CANADIAN Idol starts next Tuesday! The winner last season, Eva Avila, is amazing. Remember her name! :)

Regularly, Grey's Anatomy and lately House. Those are about the only two...other than that I watch weird things like World Series of Poker, Deadliest Catch and Ghost Hunters. :lol:

Ooohhhh... We should start another House thread. This time we should keep it going though. It's such a great show. We just started watching a few months ago. LOVE IT!!! We're also currently watching season 1 on DVD and catching up on old ones on USA. Ha. How many seasons are there?

I'm not sure how many...I know a few months ago my friend and I went on a cruise and she brought some DVDs--not sure which season...I watched a few episodes then. She offered to send me another season to watch...but I said no. (I think I'll just change my mind and ask her to let me borrow them, lol).

It comes on a couple of times a week here at 8:00 (so I think I'm not seeing the current season), so I started watching cuz there wasn't much else on. Kind of got hooked cuz my medical journey has been a weird ride and the show reminds me of that. :P:lol:

We watch the Deadliest Catch, Little People Big World, and John loves Smallville, I cannot stand shows like that so I just do other stuff.

I tried watching the show So you think you can dance and turned it off after 5 min. I'm not a big t.v. person although I like watching it, there are few shows that hold my interest. I like House though, but don't always get the chance to watch it.

I like the sit coms because they're only a half hour and I'm always looking for a laugh.

Mandy my sister just got her braces off and she's 45. Its never to late. She's eating all the foods she missed eating for two years. She likes gummy worms and ate them for a week .. yuck.

Thanks Everyone!! I have to say it is so nice to have them off too. Semi-uncomfortable process of taking them off but well worth it. I am so pleased at how my teeth look now.

John and I love friends and Sex and the City. We actually have the DVD sets to both.

Argh... Well, House's season finale is Tuesday, so I guess we can't start a new thread about House. I don't really watch anything else. At least not this time of the year. Everything I watch is ending or over for the year. :(

Amanda, you need to post a new avatar with your big, toothy, braceless grin! :)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
