Politically Correct Christmas Greeting!


irish daveyboy

irish daveyboy Community Regular

I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends and colleagues.

But it is so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone.

So I met with my solicitors yesterday, and on their advice I wish to say the following:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an

environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive,

gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced with

the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices

of your choice with respect for the religious / secular persuasions and / or

traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular

traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically

uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted Gregorian

calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice

of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our

country great and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical

ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wisher.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:

1. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal.

2. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting.

3. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any

of the wishes for her / himself or others and is void where

prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion

of the wisher.

This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual:

Application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance

of a subsequent holiday greeting,

whichever comes first,

and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or

issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message.

      I went back to consuming dairy after a year of healed villi.  What I didn't know is that along with developing celiac, my pancreas was no longer producing enough enzyme to consume lactose.  My GI said he often sees this with celiac patients.  Some people can go back to dairy with no problems at all and others will develop odd symptoms like ataxia--balance issues, etc.-- for no apparent reason.  It took me a year of suffering to get it all straightened out.  Hope this saves you some time!

      Do you know what the lab's standard range is for the IgA tTG2 result? The Endomysial IgA basically tests for the same antibodies as IgA tTG2 but it uses an older, less sensitive method and the result is positive/negative rather than quantitative. Hence, it is possible to show raised IgA tTG2 antibodies without getting a positive test for Endomysial IgA antibodies.

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.
