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.K.E......Corrumba!! He is already a Cat.3 and nothing but warm open water to let him get stronger. Aiming directly for Florida.....so I am watching closely to see what this B*s*t*rd is going to do. :angry:

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.

      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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      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?
