Now, see THIS type of description is what provokes that drooling, honey.

oh, do not be scared. Karen can always shoot him.

The ribs sound outrageous. I LOVE lamb. Enjoy!

Dinner tonight (coincidentally)

Lamb patties

Sauteed Chard

Roasted baby potatoes

note to self :: put ground lamb on shopping list

Lamb ( and rice) saved me when I could eat nothing ( and I do mean NOTHING) else and is still my most favorite safe meal .

;) Can I use the cider as fruit?

absolutely!!!!!!!

I could blow him up?

Holycraponacracker.....Your arsenal is getting bigger and bigger, K---you scary dame.

My baby cousin who was about 1 1/2 at the time spit out bacon and wouldn't try it again. I promptly took the opportunity to point out to my husband that it is his blood relation, not mine. Seriously, who spits bacon out?

Now, that's just a shame. Poor kid. :(Makes me cry to think he'll never know the joy of Ba-con!

My mother won't eat cheese for the same reason. Can you imagine 85 years without cheese???? I tell her "you can't be my real mom!".

I recall the days when you had to eat such a limited diet, Chill. I am so glad you are feeling so much better!

Lamb is my all-time favorite meat--I could eat it every day. Lamb shish kebab and rice pilaf...my Armenian Gramma's specialty and I loved

when I went to stay with her. Lamejun--Armenian pizza made with ground lamb and spices. Also, ground lamb rolled into meatballs with broth--crazy good with pita bread (well, those days of soft pita bread are gone, sigh ) . She had an old fashioned hand cranked meat grinder and I thought it was so cool when she made "meat strings" come out of that thing. :D

What?? No S or C??? IH, you really must do better than this! :lol: You are capable of so much more. Grade: C- Only excuse permitted: Not well. :P

love2travel Mentor

OK - some C and S involved tonight.

Leftover lamb ribs with a wondrous smoky rub and sweet and spicy barbecue sauce

Risotto Milanese

White-Wine Braised Celery

Guess what? I just made a roasted red pepper, escabeche, roasted tomato, et. al. chunky sauce with no specific plans in mind - it will be good on anything.

:lol: I know, my head is hung low in shame. I am failing miserably at S and C today. I am not feeling stellar at all (novocaine kicks me arse and causes heart palps, etc.) ah well....we will have sherried portabellas on that beef...does that count?

Ask them to give you the anesthetic that does not contain epinephrine -- I always do, because I get bad palps from it too.

Yes as to the sauce, but it would have to be "Sauteed baby portabella mushrooms in a sherry reduction sauce" for an A grade :D

you're right...I blew that one. :lol:

I did ask for that no epineprine anesthetic two visits ago (because you and several others gave me that great advice--thank you! :wub: ) but he must have forgotten this time and he shot me up --3 needles---and well, I knew within minutes he had messed up....this was a few days ago and the heart palps lasted 2 days!!-- and now, well, let's just say it messes with my entire system and I have a wonky tum, etc.

I'll try to do better tomorrow. man, I hate getting a C-..... :unsure:

A C- while feeling poorly is far better than an A+ while feeling fine :)

And I add my avoid the epi chant.

Long couple days here -

Dinner was chicken tenders - tacos for men -- broccoli, spag squash and carrot sauce added to mine.

Thanks, Mom.

And next time, I'll make sure he gives me the right stuff.

Hope all's well in sunny Cal..... and you're still very vertical.

Tonight is the hub's birthday dinner, but he has yet to tell me what he wants.

He is usually very cheery, but Grumblepants is not taking this birthday with grace for some reason.

I told him, "Oh hush up. It's beats the alternative."

I want to give him diver scallops and risotto (with an appropriate C and S, of course) and flourless chocolate cake with ganache.

But if'n he doesn't get more "perky", he's getting a ham and cheese sammy.

kareng Grand Master

Last night we had indoor grilled chicken on salad with a spicy peanut dressing I made.

Tonight - pasta with a "sauce" of popped tomatoes & arugula/spinach

All well and vertical here after a minor hiccup this week - and it is pouring rain - I cant wait to get outside when the sun arrives - my lungs LOVE exercising in the rain - I know I'm a freak of nature. Or for nature and weather more precisely.

Happy Birthday to Mr. IrishHeart - just keep smiling - it will make him wonder what you are thinking about - I vote for the scallops - yum :)

Sis coming over tonight - she eats very few vegies so time to get creative ;)

jerseyangel Proficient

We had chicken last night too. I was going to do the tenders like I usually do, oven fried with potato and cheese "breading". Last minute, decided to saute them with onions, make a pan gravy, and serve with smashed spuds and acorn squash.

yum-- spicy peanut dressing! hmm....that could work with scallops, too....thanks for the idea. K.

I love arugula...and... . I like saying "arugula" . It's fun.

Arugula, the word, always reminds me of the old fashioned car horns :P

I could take the scallops and risotto off your hands, and I am quite perky today :)

Hope you and hubs have a lovely birthday dinner x

I don't generally do perky, but for scallops and risotto there is little I wouldn't do. :ph34r:

Yes, do enjoy your dinner tonight and happy birthday to the grump. :P

Me? I seem to have this problem where I stay up way too late and when my alarm goes off I'm swear that tonight I'll go to bed at a reasonable time. Then before I know what happened the clock says 2 am again. How does this keep happening?!? I may just have a nap for supper.

Speaking of risotto and perkiness, tonight we are having encore risotto from last night (porcini and red wine and fresh thyme risotto) with steamed broccoli. Sometimes a big ol' bowl of risotto is enough!

Irish, how are you feeling today??

I am as perky as ever, thanks! I rebounded and my legs are getting better.

Mr. IH is cheery too. His momentary grumpiness has passed. No poopyheads tolerated (i was already previously married to one of those :lol: ).

The wonderful family who owns the gluten-free cafe brought him a carrot cake and sang to him after lunch today :)

How sweet, right?!

Risotto --encore or otherwise--is always yummy

And that's what he is getting with his filet (yes, he wanted that again)

No lobstah tails to be found. :( So, we make do.

Who cares right? I do not have to make dessert now, so I can have champagne, starting.......um, .....NOW....whoohoo..

      Elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and they are a key biomarker used in its diagnosis. However, there are some rare instances where elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in conditions other than celiac disease. While these cases are not common, they have been documented in the literature. Below are some examples and references to studies or reviews that discuss these scenarios:  1. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)    - NCGS typically does not cause elevated tTG-IgA levels, as it is not an autoimmune condition. However, some individuals with NCGS may have mild elevations in tTG-IgA due to intestinal inflammation or other factors, though this is not well-documented in large studies.    - Reference: Catassi, C., et al. (2013). *Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: The New Frontier of Gluten-Related Disorders*. Nutrients, 5(10), 3839–3853. [DOI:10.3390/nu5103839](https://doi.org/10.3390/nu5103839)  2. Autoimmune Diseases    - Elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in other autoimmune conditions, such as type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hepatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This is thought to be due to cross-reactivity or polyautoimmunity.    - Reference: Sblattero, D., et al. (2000). *The Role of Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase in the Diagnosis and Management of Celiac Disease*. Autoimmunity Reviews, 1(3), 129–135. [DOI:10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3](https://doi.org/10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3)  3. Chronic Liver Disease    - Conditions like chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis can sometimes lead to elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to increased intestinal permeability or immune dysregulation.    - Reference: Vecchi, M., et al. (2003). *High Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: A Role for Gluten-Free Diet?* Gastroenterology, 125(5), 1522–1523. [DOI:10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031)  4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)    - Some patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis may have elevated tTG-IgA levels due to intestinal inflammation and damage, though this is not common.    - Reference: Walker-Smith, J. A., et al. (1990). *Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease*. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 10(3), 389–391. [DOI:10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020](https://doi.org/10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020)  5. Infections and Parasites    - While infections (e.g., giardiasis) are more commonly associated with false-positive tTG-IgA results, chronic infections or parasitic infestations can sometimes lead to elevated levels due to mucosal damage.    - Reference: Rostami, K., et al. (1999). *The Role of Infections in Celiac Disease*. European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 11(11), 1255–1258. [DOI:10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010](https://doi.org/10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010)  6. Cardiac Conditions    - Rarely, heart failure or severe cardiovascular disease has been associated with elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to gut ischemia and increased intestinal permeability.    - Reference: Ludvigsson, J. F., et al. (2007). *Celiac Disease and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study*. American Heart Journal, 153(6), 972–976. [DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019)  Key Points: - Elevated tTG-IgA levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and in most cases, a positive result strongly suggests celiac disease. - Other conditions causing elevated tTG-IgA are rare and often accompanied by additional clinical findings. - If celiac disease is suspected, further testing (e.g., endoscopy with biopsy) is typically required for confirmation. If you’re looking for more specific studies, I recommend searching PubMed or other medical databases using terms like "elevated tTG-IgA non-celiac" or "tTG-IgA in non-celiac conditions." Let me know if you’d like help with that!

      I called zero water and they state their filters do not contain gluten or gluten containing ingredients. 
    • trents
      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.

      Hello! I want to share my situation. I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching one year ago. I thought I could have celiac disease so I did the blood tests. The results were ambiguous for me so I saw the doctor and he said I needed to do tests to check whether I had any parasites as well. It turned out I had giardiasis. After treating it my symptoms didn't disappear immediately. And I decided to start a gluten free diet despite my doctor said I didn't have it. After some time symptoms disappeared but that time it wasn't unclear whether I'd had them because of eliminating gluten or that parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. Giardiasis also damages the small intestine. The only way to check this was to start eating bread again as I thought. Now about my results.   These are my first test results (almost a year ago) when I had symptoms: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months. Symptoms disappeared. And I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   Nowadays I didn't have any symptoms except tiredness but I think it's just work. I think it was this parasite because two years ago, for example, and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten food. But I'm still not sure especially because the Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG results are sometimes high. What do you think? @Scott Adams

I'm not IgA deficient as you can see so I don't need to do this Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG test. But I do because it's sometimes not in the normal range. What do you think this time? I think I don't have celiac disease. But this test...
