Hi I am already pre registered for the fair. My question is this: I don't remember where any of the buildings are- I went there. Broadhollow Rd. is the Rte 110 or Melville Rd? Somebody help please-- Don't need to get lost trying to find Roosevelt Hall...

Thanx

Lynn

Morning Lynn--Rt 110 is Broad Hollow Rd--I hope that helps. Personally, I have never been to the college--the number is 2350 Broad Hollow--if you go to Mapquest and type in your address, then the college address, it will give you directions. I'm sure if you have been there before, then you will remember once you see the directions. Kev will tell me how to get there, so until now, I had not thought about it.

By the way, where do you live, I'm in East Islip. I'm looking forward to the fair again this year.

See you there!

Dear Deb,

Thanks, I didn't even think about that. I live in Levittown. How old are your kid(s)? Mines' 13.

Morning Lynn,

My kids are grown. Jeremy will be 33 in May, Mike 30, Nick 28, Joe 25, and Holly is 24. I have grandkids closer to your child's age. Three 9 yr olds, 7, 5, 3, and 5 months. My kids and grandkids all live in Michigan. I know that most of my kids, if not all would be much better off on a gluten free diet. My granddaughter Brooklyn has had 3 seizures and the doctors have not figured out what caused them yet, my grandson Colin has enamel problems with his teeth, the youngest Ethin, has been sick since he was born. The poor little guy has GERD, sleep apnea, doesn't utilize protein properly, is dairy free and soy free and he is only 5 months old. When I ask my kids to check into gluten as a possible cause, they just shake their heads. Two of my sons did ask their doctor to be tested for celiac disease and the doctor told one he doesn't look celiac (I guess he doesn't have 2 heads like the rest of us celiacs) and the other was told it isn't necessary for him to be tested at this time!

Hope to see you ar the fair--I will be one of the workers wearing the green t-shirts and the one with the longest hair! ;)

Hey Deb,

Sounds Like your KIds/grandkids have their hands full!! I hope your sons decide to go for 2nd opinions, or get new peds. Maybe they should tell the doctors that it runs in your family== maybe that will get their attention!! My daughter was not well as a baby either. Ok, we will be there- look for the shortest lady 4-9 and my daughter is shorter.. see you soon. Lynn :rolleyes:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as 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/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
