Rough Week

Had the roughest week in the past 2 years (2 years trying to be gluten-free on the 21st)

Have to feel sorry for my wife and I know she feels bad.

Glutening #1

On Monday she decided to get a real bagel when I was out, missed some crumbs which got into something I tried to eat.

Sick with D and DH for 2 days.

Wednesday she tried to make up for it with a salad she made 10 times in the past few months. Within minutes I was sick again.

Tonight she made Pamala's brownie mix, that was it but again running back and forth to the throne room and all broken out with dh on top of the dh.

Sometimes its just rough trying to do it right!

Am sorry to hear its been so rough Ken! I think sometimes when its been so long it may be harder.

My sister Peggy is visiting from Southern California and she too got sick for the first time in 2 years. Sicker than a dog!! I am having her stay with me now rather than upstairs with our aged mother who hasn't completely cleaned up her act.

Hope you remember to take probiotics, marhsmallow root, slippery elm and the rest once you can tolerate anything. Peggy is doing much better using blackberry leaf tea--against the D.

Thanks Bea,

Usually I just sort of float around between my projects with no problems but for some reason last week was different.

I'm going to look for more S elm tomorrow and hope I can find it here. Leaving on the 29th so no time ot order from internet.

Hope your sister is better soon.

thanks again

Ya know, I bet if you ask really really nice, Collette would be happy to share some rain with you! Maybe you could even swap rain for warmth! :D Sounds like a win-win trade to me! :P

Seriously, hope you feel better soon!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood t...

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
