Vegas is on, BABY!!!!!!!

Guess the airline will not have any excitement -- as in, "Um excuse me, but if I suddenly lose consciousness, could you please make sure I get to a hospital as soon as we land. I have an aneurysm."

Sick humor, yes, but hey, I was talking to Karen. And, as you may very well remember, when she and I get together, well, the humor goes straight to he**.

I have been told not to post links to my personal site which is mostly just a collection of photos of me and my family. Very dangerous stuff! Must be outlawed! LOL

I'll email it to you.

Nope, its in the forum rules and I have been personally contacted by Scott himself about it. No big deal to me. Its his house, I try to play by his rules no matter how silly.

Yes it is there, but I was referring to the extremely evil and unthinkable act of... do I dare even speak it? posting a link in response to a question! OMG HOW EVIL!

LOL :) Sorry, sometimes I really need to just go to bed instead of check this thread :)

Posting a link in response to a request is a non issue, or an informative link is always welcome. As far as I know you are free to do that. People with personal websites and web pages are encouraged to post them on their personal profile page.

:ph34r: don't shoot the messenger.

This is true. You can, however, put a link in the "Personal Statement" area of your profile page. Not that I'm suggesting that you should look at Vincent's profile, or Nini's, or flagbabyds, or broncobux, or anyone else's to see if they've got something interesting going on offsite.

This is something I really wish Scott would change, but a lot of people have brought it up to him with no results. Other than that, it's a great website and an amazing board.

Hey, I think we're losing sight of the things that really matter here! I mean, obviously... what are you going to do with your hair now? I do think this is worth some black and pink stripes! :)

Speaking of stirring things up... in Dutch, a friendly way to sign a letter is "met vriendelijke groeten" which word by word translates as "with friendly greetings". If you (completely by accident) ;) add just one letter it becomes "met vriendelijke groenten" = "with friendly vegetables"....

I'm just waiting for the perfect letter to put that in... maybe the next time I have to contact the tax people....I'd just love to know if anyone would even notice. :)

Yep. I guess I never told that story here... fell on very hard times (lost my job, no medical insurance, etc..) was offered a job in Viriginia (I lived in TN) on the condition I cut my hair, at a place I WANTED to work, (Liberty University), with a bit low pay, but great perks/benies, so it came down to "have a place to live and eat" or "have long hair", food won out! LOL

I can always grow it back later if/when I move on. :)

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
