I did exactly what you said, Gee FREE....and nothing happened.

Maybe I am just "multi-quote challenged" :unsure:

The important part is the last part -- after you have done your multiquoting you do have to hit the Add Reply button to get them to pop up.

Ta Da --- I'd failed many times too...I had been using the "reply" button of the last post I selected for multiquote.

OK, then I must not have said it right, or clearly, or in English. Somehow I screwed it up. I am better with pictures myself, so here are a couple that might help. I am getting out my anti-doofus spray now.. Pssst.....:D

Notice at the bottom of the first picture the multi-quote button in your post is green after being selected.

And at the bottom of the thread, not the post,is the "Add Reply" button. It is normally blue until you select it and then it turns green like in this picture.

That's it, clicky the clickable "Add Reply" button and it will open a reply window with all the multi-quoted posts in it. It gets confusing if there are a lot of them and the posts are long. I don't do multi-quoting a lot myself. But it is nice to be able to do something the Irish can't ! :) I feel so very superior now. Oh dang, my hat is getting too tight! Headache! :( I didn't know how to do this for a long time either. And then somebody explained it, i don't remember who.

Thanks! As long as I don't screw up and only eat gluten at night I get through the day. My consultation is Tuesday.

I could never make it without all of you!

Your doing great through a very frustrating process.

Let us know if you have any last minute questions before you meet with the doctor on Tuesday.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend - even if just during the daytime ;)

Thank you for all the encouragement! You have a great weekend too, Lisa!

I left my notes at the office, but if you don't mind, maybe Monday I could post the info/questions I'm bringing with me and you could let me know if I've left out something obvious...

Sure...as you can see -- there are more than a few of us that can help -- or you can PM me.

Take Care!

Well someone on another floor did something wrong -- and the Fire Department came. So today, all toaster ovens have been removed from the building.

The only toaster in the building is in our commissary and it's full of gluten. Darn it. I may have to hide a toaster in my office.

FYI, I already have an illegal space heater in my office. :) I think I would have good logic for my own toaster though!

I'm feeling pretty poorly. It feels like maybe a cumulative effect of all the gluten at night -- I'm not really "resetting" in the morning anymore. The last couple of days I've been waking up with the fatigue and muscle weakness. My appointment with the GI is this afternoon and I'm going to try to see how quickly she can schedule the procedures. Fingers crossed. Although I have a couple of more "last" meals to get in. Crazy that I want last meals, right?

And not crazy at all.

Just know that whatever the results, you can still go gluten-free and enjoy better health. There are substitutes for all those "last meals" you think you will miss. We'll help you find them.

The truth is, no gluteny food tastes as good as feeling well.

Keep us posted. Fingers crossed for you!

yep...I was teasing...I actually had my own toaster I kept in my office at one point - never had to justify it, but would have happily explained that the common toaster was medically unsafe for me.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
