So I am not sure how the weather is around everyone else, but today in PA it is in the mid 90's but the humidity is pushing it towards 100. I am at work and I have a sweater on, it is always cold in the hospital. I am heading out in a few minutes to soak up some sun. Maybe a tan? :)

How are the temps around you guys?

Hot and humid here in Kansas!! My parents have this silly rule about not turning on their AC until their anniversary (June 29th).....because their ac was a wedding gift......sentimental yet insane!!! :P I told them the other day I was going home to my own house and turning on the AC!! I had been staying with them to help get the crops in the field......I just couldn't take it any longer!!! I NEED AC!! I'm a wimp!

Hideously hot in Cleveland! The only thing getting me through this is thoughts of the big snowstorm we had in February and the hope for blowing snow again someday in six months. I think I would like to get a summer home in Siberia. The only thing I like about summer is the time off (I'm a teacher). The weather is awful. :angry:

Here in Central California it has cooled down today to the high 90's! It has been in the 100's and last week up to 110. I just about died two weekends ago when my AC went out on Friday night and the repair guy couldn't get the part until Monday AM! Thank God we have a pool in the backyard!

I'm with you Amanda, hot and humid outside in Pa, but frozen solid inside. I have a co-worker who runs around all day and when he comes back to the office cranks up the AC! I don't usally notice how cold I am until I think about it.

I was disapointed in the weather, espically at my parents house for the weekend. It's cold up there!

It was very cold up there and after that long ride there I could have used the warm weather.

Yep, it cleared up :). I take back my earlier post :lol: I do think it's funny (yet sad) that we can now often complain about the weather in sd. It's something different and new I guess LOL

It's a rare day that I complain about the weather in SD. A little May Gray here ... A little June Gloom there...it doesn't get much better than this, in my opinion. Love, love, love it ! B)

Maybe I am a weather snob :ph34r::lol: I just remember it being sooooo much better than it is now (full-on beach weather by early March, which lasted until November LOL). Oh well....

Hot and humid here in Jersey, too B)

I just came in from a doctor's appointment and, you'll appreciate this Amanda, Wegman's :D , and it's like a furnace out there. The humidity is high and there is no breeze at all. Ugh!

The thermometer in my gazebo says 90, but that's in the shade under a roof.

I have always wanted to go to San Diego and you have just given me one more reason! :) It's 96 with the heat index in NYC.

I do appreciate that :) Our store opens on Sept 16th, I can't wait :):):)

I am coming down to your neck of the woods in 3 weeks, time for our trip to the beach.

I am venturing out into the oven in 10 minutes, but I am heading to the pool for a bit. I love summer, even if it is hotter than all outside, I would rather that than be bone cold. :)

Well the high 90's weather here in my neck of the woods turned into 107. Oh well. I am very glad that it is dry heat though...I've heard bad things about the humidity! I would love some rain though.

I saw on the news this morning that it will be hot/humid again tomorrow, then the highs Friday and Saturday will be 80. Hope they're right!

Yes, it's cute. However, I tend to forget how cute it is when I'm sitting still, not moving, with a fan on me and am STILL sweating!! ewwwww :D

-Jessica....who is still sitting in her AC even though the temp isn't tooo bad today :rolleyes:

Just checked the weather channel to see the current temp...89 but feels like 93. It's only 11 here. B) Who else thinks we should drop what we are doing and go to the beach!!! *raises hand* We will pit stop for some gluten free goodies and enjoy the summer..:)

For Texas rain, rain, and more rain, with the high of 89 with more chance of rain. :angry::angry: Flash floods everywhere. I let my daughter play out in the rain first time to ever let her do that and these boys about 12 were riding there cano inflatable boat down the street because I was raining so hard and so fast. The creek or river behind my house was flowing fast and furious, Six flags rides are a little under water because of this same creek or river, and there is no end in sight because there is not any kind of front trying to push it way through either from the north or the Gulf of Mexico. So we will just wait and sit it out hopefully the weather will calm down a little. Sounds like Mother Nature is a little Gluten intolerant :lol::lol: with Texas

      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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      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 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.
