Picard, if you are still on, what is this heinous test? Do you drink some concoction? Geez, it sounds like a breathilizer test. I hope it works out ok and you are not too sick from it.

I am not really sure, I think it is some sort of breathilizer test. I do need to drink some concoction and be on some sort of really tight diet. Oh well. Still better off knowing what is going on.

Oh, I just couldn't let this one get by!

No, dear city boy, our geese are very well-mannered. But I have seen a duck going around yelling AFFLAC on tv. :P:P:P

Cissie, signing off.

Way too premature post, but with my new sweet goose picture and my new name. Perhaps, along with my duties as Senator (which is sit on my butt all day, no bribes today) Should I not be on the goose patrol.

AFLAC :D:D:D I love that darn goose.

I agree but with my family hx, if this is the root cause -- I want to intervene now.

Julie -- if you move to CT let me know.

Now who mentioned getting naked -- I must warn you I am a Frenchman :lol::P:D

No problem :D

Sorry, I'm posting. I can't help it. This is really bad. I have a job for the next week that basically involves me, in a room by myself, with a big computer, a set of instructions, and...oh no...internet access! Don't worry though, I'm very skilled at hanging out in Rachelville while simultaneously getting work done :ph34r:

Okay I should sign off for a bit before they all start wondering why I'm laughing in here. :ph34r:.

Meredith,

They'll learn soon enough that we are all a little off here. :P

Well you can ask, but she is our Mother Hen you know. I think she would rather listen to Iron Maiden :lol:

Dave, you have to put Town Hottie and Town Troublemaker in your job description.

And Celia where are your astericks???

Boy oh boy.

I leave to have dinner and you guys go south on me.

May I remind you that Rachelville has rules of decorum and dress. Mr. Dave--you at least need a tank top on while working we can't have all the women falling all over themselves (whether it be from laughter or fainting :lol: ). The rest of you, Mother Hen is back on patrol and expects better behavior. :P

Not on your life.....I'm the conservative one here. :o Probably one of many reasons I got dubbed Mother Hen. I take it to mean I'm very protective though. :P

If I had no other choice I'd take that ear shattering music. :P

Do the geese in Rachelville go around yelling AFFLAC?

-Dave

NO EFFIN' AFLAC GEESE!!!!!

If we have the aflac bird I'm moving out of Rachelville.

Don't ask why, too traumatic. A guy and a lot of vodka. I'll leave it at that.

Besides, the AFLAC bird is a DUCK. Geese honk, they don't quack :rolleyes:

(That was a premature post, I'm all caught up now though, as of 8:56pm)

No that would be my parrot! That's what happens when you get a friend to babysit for a week, they teach your bird to say AFFLAC!!!! :lol:

Good luck Carla eating out at Maggianos, lucky you- yum! I hear they are great about celiacs. Tell us all about it tomorrow.

It was WONDERFUL!! I had a filet, mashed potatoes Gluten-free Casein-free with olive oil and basil, and asparagus. A couple glasses of shiraz. My daughters had the gluten-free blondie with ice cream on it, but it has casein and soy so I had a glass of champagne for dessert!! :P I'm here, so you know I'm not sick! :D

      Being a burden to family/friends

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid. Before that ...

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      Hi everyone After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra i...

      Food Tasting Salty

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to. 1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If...

When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to.   1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?
