From a home schooling mom to everybody... oh, oh, I'm on the wrong forum :huh: - what the heck. You all will have fun with this too :lol: .

Here's a link to a map of the Middle East - can you put the names in the correct place?

This reminds me of what is happening over there.

:o Say yes to civil liberties, human rights, democracy and justice for all!

(and if you live over there... you have to do a map of the 50 states)

(and, yes, I'm a Canuk and no, I couldn't do the whole 50 either)

As a side.. Prayers for Japan.. there just are no words..

We sat around in a coffee bar in New Zealand one night when I was 19, trying to come up with the names of all 50, let alone where they were :o

Well, I sure had fun doing this Middle Eastern map..thanks, "Mom"!! I put in Armenia, since my grandparents came from there, and the big countries I knew, for sure first...then had to struggle a bit, but can proudly say I did it in about 4- 5 minutes...yippee for me!!

....as for the US, I probably would have a struggle with the states in the middle...LOL LOL

and yes, I am American.... :unsure:

thanks for the brain exercise, Etta!

I found a countries one, you have to type in the names and it puts them on the map for you, so it's more remembering than knowing where they are: Open Original Shared Link

(I got 103 out of 195 - lots of room for improvement!)

And this one for US states: Open Original Shared Link

And yes, I spent waaaaaay too much time improving my speed on the states one. I am such a nerd for quizes. You created a monster, posting the Middle Eastern one :-)

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your doctor is most likely correct here, and if you had high tTg-IGA and villous atrophy you likely have celiac disease and need to be gluten-free. If regular small amounts of gluten get in your diet, it will prevent recovery. Eating out in restaurants is the primary source of such contamination.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Mostly trial and error and noticing the effects of the supplements over time. It's important to look at the bottom of my original post in this thread to see nutrients that can be toxic in higher does, especially over long periods of time.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      As @trents mentioned, removing gluten if you have celiac disease would be key to villi recovery, and if you still are having issues trying to identify other triggers would be the next step, even though the additional intolerances will not likely contribute to villi recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By trents · Posted

      Well, it certainly seems reasonable to get checked for Crohn's since you have a family member with it and SIBO. You might also consider talking to your physician about a trial on an immunosuppressant, like prednisone, to see if numbers go down and symptoms subside. Sometimes, just interrupting the inflammatory cycle can effect a reset and put you on the road to health.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ehb · Posted

      I am wondering how you developed this supplementation regimen? Was it just through trial and error? Did you base this trial and error on blood tests or symptom improvement? It cost me $300 for the blood tests, so I would prefer not to do those regularly
