Hmmm Gian-knit, methinks if ya use wackl in a library, you're obliged to scribble it into the giant dictionary-on-a-stand. Maybe ya did it already and it's too goes-without-saying to mention?? Happy Queen Mum's Day Gnicherlur, in the waning of yer reigning. Heehee Smackl's hair looks like it belongs on a head twice his size. -

ARCHIVED Could Sensitivity Be Directly Related To Diet Compliance?
tom replied to Mike M's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The thread title is "Could Sensitivity Be Directly Related To Diet Compliance?" w/ the post revealing the theory that the sensitivity could be a result of the strict compliance. Isn't it the other way around? Doesn't the high sensitivity preclude & prompt the strict compliance? -

I know I may regret this, but here goes. I'm pretty sure it's not. None of the resources grepped cited here use mcg, tho a few specify ug. Open Original Shared Link I do believe I've seen mcg used for microgram in literature specifically regarding vitamins and/or minerals, but they're writing for a certain audience. Everybody... -

ARCHIVED Testing Tomorrow, Help!
tom replied to sam8veggies's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Samantha, I don't think we can cram for the blood test. I've read of Drs saying everything from a few weeks to several months of daily gluten. I might guess that w/ 2yrs of symptoms, your couple wks gluten-free might not be long enough for the antibodies to be gone. BTW I had an endoscopy last month & it was a breeze. And the doc can check... -

The gravitational reference makes me wonder just how snug y'all think non-boxers ARE!?? The bolded NO was in response to the purported unanimity of the North Pole, Mrs. Claus.

tom replied to Shallyssa's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yikes I wish that were true. That'd make things a lot easier. The currently recognized (in the U.S. - it's different in Europe, I hear) 2 genes for celiac (HLA DQ2 & 8) are in 30% of the population, yet just over 1% develop celiac disease. Although researchers have been scratching for a while, they've barely scratched the surface of Celiac genetics... -

Hey Sillies . .. ...not all caught up but had to relate how stupid I've been. Like everyone, I've read dozens of times about replacing pans etc. When I first read it, so long ago, there was no problem as I didn't cook much before gluten-free and had gotten all new pans. <ok duh where's the problem> But when I moved in w/ John last year, he had...
