    Thanks for pointing this out. We all need the occasional reminder to only answer the question asked, and not overload someone with too much information.

    Time here is not wasted

    I'm guessing every miserable frigid icy sloppy slippery crisp winter day...

    How scientists waste time at work: Open Original Shared Link

    I think that, in the case of HNPCC, there is a direct, verified, genetic link to the gene, whereas, the "Celiac genes" are neither necessary, nor sufficient, and therefor, not causal. Knowing your HLA haplotype is interesting, but it doesn't really tell you anything about your reaction to gluten. If you look Open Original Shared Link and keep reading...

    I know you addressed this to someone else, but I thought I'd answer anyway Genotyping is incredibly easy. Incorrect results are usually a result of overinterpreting an assay that didn't work, and should have been repeated. The Red Cross does HLA matching for transplants. Much bigger stakes than Celiac. I think they can be considered reliable...

    :lol: Found a bird's head that way one time. Or maybe it was crunched. :greenguy:

    still works when I do it? Must be a UK thing. Penance for not needing a passport.

    Just pointing out her name...

    :lol: Maybe you can tell her that she has to eat it unless she can come up with a different word or phrase for 'disgusting' every time. At least her vocabulary will improve.

    Does your mom remember anything that helped? Or, at least, how much longer until she grows out of it?

    :lol: Something here is actually applicable to real life! What are the chances???

    your daughter isn't... Manda, stomach pains could be something as simple as stress, or food. Are you guys keeping a food /stress events diary?

    Have to say, I agree with this. I've looked up a couple of his sources and they do not support the claims citing them.

    you n me both babe. I have fantasies of being a food allergy aware tour guide

    Most people define "gluten intolerant" as 'a positive response to removing gluten in the absence of positive lab tests'. You had a positive IgG test (I'm guessing it was antigliadin), and are having a negative response to adding gluten back into your diet. I would say you have Celiac. Keep in mind that the biopsy, and the anti ttG tests measure damage...

    Sorry about your friend, M. Huntington's is a truly crappy disease. I hope they figure out a way to deal with it. I already miss Patti and Judy COME BACK!! I need a physicist to explain to me how I can have soooo many loads of laundry when all I do is go to work...

    Is it possible you're nearing menopause? Are you close to the age your mom was when she went through menopause?

    I suppose it's all a balance, isn't it? I put stevia in my tea once in a while, drink diet pop, if I'm drinking any pop, buy treats made with agave or brown rice syrup, and use sugar when I bake (also rarely). I would think, if something's going to cause a problem, it will be something you consume in excess, whatever the source.

    Excellent news!! And a new ornament for the Christmas tree!
  25. Jestgar
    I agree with this. If it makes you sick, it makes you sick, whatever the research.
