Our daughter, in Lafayette, got her power back last night and never lost water or sewage at all. They did get a lot of wind damage in the area, but none to her apartment complex.

So glad you are doing OK

My friends are in Lafayette so happy to hear this also

Thanks Judy

I'll let you know when they get back to 'normal' after Katrina! :rolleyes:

We are really fine, only very minor wind damage.

Last night we had another scare with all of the flash flooding and tornado warnings in the area. A tornado hit just north of here and there was an an emergency evac of a neighboring town, due to flash flooding. These rain bands won't go away and rivers and bayous were topping over.

On a more disgusting note.......The worst things are that we still can't bathe, wash clothes, do dishes or flush (the last being #1 on the list.)

We can flush! Perfect timing, too. I ate some hummus that had 'natural flavors' in it. I am so good about things like that, I must've skipped right over it when I read the ingredients. Boy am I paying for it now. All 10 people here (we are my family's evacuation shelter) have been super careful not to cc me and I did it to myself!

Thank goodness we can flush, bathe etc. We have been washing clothes and dishes all day!

My sister and my brother (plus my sis-in-law and their two kids) just found out their power, water and sewage are back up, so they will clear out tomorrow morning. My parents still do not have power or phones, so they'll be here a while longer.

Oh and, what the bleep is Ike doing?????

Hanna's eye just passed here. It's blowing like a son-of-a-gun with Soundside flooding.

I'm not looking forward to the yard clean-up in 98% humidity. :angry:

We're in CT, waiting for the bloody MONSOON they've been promising. It's rather sunny out, actually, although abysmally humid and hot. I guess it's coming a day or so later than they thought. Freaking weatherpeople. The only profession on earth where you get to be wrong all the time and they still pay you.

Hey, cut the weatherman some slack --- he's also got the only job where you try to predict the unpredictable. :D

Stockbroker's do the same thing. Imagine if they were wrong as often?

It's easy to be a weatherman in New Orleans in the summer. Every day is the same. Hot, 100% humidity and 75% chance of afternoon showers. In September it's exactly the same, but add in....and a 50% chance of hurricane force winds along with flash flooding.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
