I am so upset right now. I was reading our local paper this morning and found out an family member passed away last night, he was only 44. I am just in shock. My poor sil has to bury an young brother in november now an young bil now. He had been sick when my bil was so sick, but we had thought he was getting better. I guess i better get going on cleaning this house cause im sure i will have an houseful by the time the day is over. Keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I know what you mean about "Why do the good die young." Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair.

You guys will be in my thoughts.

Paula my prayers are with you.

It is tough with any death but it makes it worse when it is someone too young.

He did have such rough life tho, his parents had him late in life and he was born with cerebral or md, i cant think straight right now. But he was such an delight to be around. He always had a smile on his face, he couldnt talk much and when he did it was hard to understand, but he never let his condition let him down. He lived in a group home here and he loved it. They did so much with him. He started to go downhil when his dad passed away years ago. Last we heard was he was living with my sil, but something must have happened and he came back here. The paper just said he passed away and not much else.

I am so sorry to hear this.

I have endured a lot of loss in my life. I have come to believe that we are all here to teach something in our time here. Once that is accomplished we move on. Often that move comes much sooner than those who love us would prefer.

I think you are so right especially with this guy. He taught so many to enjoy life no matter what, his disability never stopped him being happy. I do know he is in such an better place now were hopefully he can walk and talk and be with his dad. he was a very strong young man that meant so much to so many. I so hope they have the services here since he passed away here and that this doesnt come into a big ww3 like it did with my bil.

      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.

      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.

      CT with contrast.

      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?
