:D:lol: You all have spent too much time in the malls or with 24-7 Christmas carrols... you're cracking! :P

Maybe we should just take back the title of "Picky Eater" and be done with it... If you tell someone you're a picky eater there isn't much they can say to that except, "oh." ;)

I just came back from a kids Xmas party where we could only eat corn chips... this thread fixed my mood right up. :D Thanks.

Oh no,no no.!!! ..."Picky eaters" are just giant pains in the buttocks.

I refuse to be thought of as THAT!

I eat anything!

and honestly, I never go to malls, I swear, so my "cracked behavior" -- must just be "me"..

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were a little sharper than that and would figure it out on your own. After all, you said you'll eat anything. I was referring to the distinct possibility of being a giant pain in the buttocks.

Please excuse me while I collect my butt and make a hasty exit!!

I can't leave you girls alone for 5 minutes.....

I am LOVING the idea of declaring myself a picky eater. I think if anyone asks, I would say I do it mostly for the attention.

oh, whew, for a second there, I thought you considered me a picky eater.... :lol:

If you read the sentence, I said I refused to be thought of a picky eater (because they are pains in the buttocks).

and I refuse to be thought of as THAT. i.e. a picky eater.

if you consider me a pain in the buttocks, well, I guess I'll take that as a compliment?

as I am in very good company around here....just saying.... ;)

Oops...I didn't see the END!...just wanted to add one more hilarious story! :P

:lol: :lol: :lol: Yes, it is what people debate over! Hilarious!

For me, I went into a Restaurant that I have had "good luck" with on not getting gluttened! In the table right behind me, was a woman talking blah, blah, blah about being allergic to Gluten....then orders the *highly glutened French Fries*--which the menu clearly states that they are *not* gluten free. The waitress reminded her of this and she actually said, "Oh, they will be OK for me to eat"...

Is she on the hippity hop gluten-free diet? Yes..... Sorry IH, but for me it is a gluten-free lifestyle--without the swapping! :D:lol:

since the context of "Trendy" back then --when he used it sarcastically --meant the same as it means today? I say "once trendy, always trendy." (in the sardonic sense, of course)

You realize....that this means you're "trendy" too, right? :lol:

I am not going to get in a battle over word usage with you. I will not only lose, but ultimately go down in flames, spiraling to an epic and tragic end. I will simply admit that sometimes, just as I let my mouth get away without my brain, I let my fingers get away without my brain. Or possibly I have misplaced my brain altogether. At any rate, it seemed funny at the time. :lol:

I still think you are literally the last person I know who I would want to debate (even hysterically) the proper meaning or usage of words with. I'll just let it go that trendy then is trendy now. Even if by that logic I should be able to be cool wearing bell bottoms. :P

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Hi, a query about testing. Background: I have existing diagnosis of pernicious anaemia (b12 deficiency) autoimmune condition. Diagnosed 5 years ago.  Symptoms for 10 years. Initially got better with b12 shots (for like a month or so) but still kicking around. So query Celiac and other clustered autoimmune conditions to PA. If celaic it would maybe be more silent as don't get vomiting, diarrhea or weight loss. Symptoms = chronic fatigue. Muscular&skeletal pain. Hot hands and feet (worse an night), nausea after eating, tiredness after consuming food like bread and pasta.  Celiac screen came back (private blood test): TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml.  My main question is, is it worth getting total iga for further testing ? I have been advised that 'low' would only count as 0 U/ml for TTG IgA not .3.  Oh and did the genetic testing and have the gene thing. Was also critically low for folate levels in recent tests  All other tests showed no likelihood of other autoimmune conditions like thyroid (luckily). Anyhow, any thoughts welcome but be kind, just trying to get well l.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. It's unlikely that they contain any gluten, but not impossible. This is the one I looked at: https://www.preservision.com/areds-2-formula-minigels/

      Welcome to the gluten-free journey—it sounds like you’ve been through a lot, but it’s great to hear you’re feeling better since cutting out gluten! The struggle to get clear answers can be so frustrating, especially when tests come back negative but your body is clearly reacting. It’s smart to hold off on retesting for celiac until you’ve reintroduced gluten (if you choose to), but in the meantime, listening to how your body responds is key. The overlap with perimenopause and gut issues is no joke—hormones really do throw everything into chaos! It’s awesome that you’re working with a kinesiologist and focusing on whole foods; that’s helped so many of us here too. And yes, eating out is a minefield. 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. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      @Izelle, you are welcome! It is important to know that beginning the gluten-free diet or even a reduced gluten diet previous to celiac testing will invalidate the testing. One should seek out testing before experimenting with eliminating gluten. Also, remember that celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disease. When a celiac consumes gluten it triggers an autoimmune response that damages the lining of the small bowel. That can be confusing to a lot of people because it is an autoimmune response that involves food. So, allergy testing is of no use in diagnosing celiac disease. Of course, people can also have allergies to wheat, barley or rye (the three gluten-containing grains) but that is an entirely different immune system response.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello Suze and welcome to the forum. Can you tell us which country you are posting from?  The reason I ask is that in some countries, it is quite a good idea to be tested for coeliac disease because if it turns out you are a coeliac, you will be given additional support by the government.  For example if you live in the UK, the NHS offers support from a nutritionist, DEXA bone scans to check for osteoporosis/osteopenia to which coeliacs are sometimes prone, additional vaccinations against certain illnesses, annual reviews with a gastroenterologist to check for dietary compliance and possible health complications, and, in some regions, a prescription to help with the purchase of gluten free bread and other staples, which can be pricey. Another example is Italy.  According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, in Italy, coeliacs are given up to 140 Euros a month to buy specifically gluten free food.  (Source: https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/global-associations-and-policies/policies-around-the-world/#:~:text=Diagnosed celiacs receive vouchers to,to deal with celiac disease.) But with regards to your white blood cells, my levels were similarly low from memory a couple of years ago during a period of quite high stress.  It was picked up in a pre-op blood test.  But nobody blinked an eyelid at the results.  A few months later at my coeliac review with my gastroenterologist the levels had normalised.  As you are concerned, do raise it with your doctor, but it could well just be a blip as it was in my case.
