Hi Judy!!! Good to see you!!! Welcome back to the reality of winter!!! CurlyLisa is the kween. Probably not worth going back to read the massive amounts of shopping lists and music lyrics. If you see something you don't remember just ask and we'll give you a much quicker rundown than trying to go back into the vortex to find it.

Good luk wif yer meetin, M.

Welcome back to the Sillie, Judith B) Too bad there's not a search function fer CurlyLisa's recaps. That would get you up to date in a jiffy :lol:

I know ya'll are on the edge of yer seats wondering about me bread :P This is what I did--mixed up the batter as usual, and in a separate bowl mixed sugar, cinnamon and a wee bit of Smart Balance till it was like little crumbs. Then (here's the genius) I spread a third of the batter into the pan, topped it wif half the topping and repeated ending wif the bread batter.

It's in the oven proofing now :rolleyes:

Tomorrow, in preperation fer me haircut I have to wash and let it dry naturally wif no product at all (v scary). What I completely phorgot was that I have a doctor's appt first thing in the morning. :huh: So I have to go there looking like that :lol:

Hi, Jooooodeee!! back to the Land of Unforgiving Wintah. . . . ....hope you are not getting the storm that we have happening.

Leeeeeesar! Recap fer Joodith, s'il te plait. . .. . . .

What I completely phorgot was that I have a doctor's appt first thing in the morning. So I have to go there looking like that :lol:

OMG, Patteee.. . . . get ready for alarms going off, security swooping down and around you, crowds frantically parting. . . . . . ... :lol:

Perhaps your doc's receptionist will simply stare long and carefully at you, eyes widened, and say, "Oh, Patti. . . . .....I'm glad you're here to see him"......

:lol:

Lawyer appointment was productive, but now I have had to relive the whole ordeal and shall spend the rest of the afternoon with a sick, weak feeling permeating my whole body. For the first time probably ever, I found myself home at 2 pm, considering having a glass of wine. Or two.

But nope. Too much shovelling, cleaning, dog-walkin' to do! (A good thing, fer sure). . . . .

10 freakin inches!!!!.......of snaugh

Well, I suited up and headed out wif me two useless chidlens armed wif shovels . . . the whining commenced immediately and no it twas not from me. After about 5 minutes I gave up and we walked to my friend's house (about 5 houses down) which in itself was no small feat. . . and borrowed their snow blower. OMG!!!! I would gladly turn over my first born (if he was remotely worth anything) in appreciation. Instead I shall send down a bottle of me favourite wine.

I'm hating my husband's job at the moment . . . he just called to say he's been scheduled to attend a meeting from 6 to 7:30pm . . . who in hell schedules a meeting then??? . . . and just so you know, this is NOT a manufacturing facility . . . or a hospital . . . there is NO second shift.

This Uncle Ray-er was too good NOT to post on the thread.

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I ease my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully get out of the car and open the trunk. I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic.

They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe! They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.

But to my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men.

And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their horns

and waving like crazy.

It wasn't long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper! ''What's going on here?"

"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.

"'Well, what the heck are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the

road?"

I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him, "Helloooooo, those

are my emergency flashers!"

Frizzbomb is right! I did a dry run wif it today since I didn't have to go out. I swear, I have no idea how they are going to accomplish this. :lol: I wish I could have Mark film it so you guys could watch :P

The cinnamon bread was out of this world! We each had a slice whilst still warm, and as soon as it's cool I'm slicing and freezing the rest. Don't trust meselph to have it sit out B) Tastes like that cinnamon bread that Joisey diners put out on the table--evil, yummy stuff. :P

I was reading one of those random magazines left in the lunchroom. You know, the kind that no one would admit they actually buy...

Anyway, it was a holiday addition, and they were doing before/after decorating shots. They showed an entryway that looked fabulous in the after shot....and i thought, a little darker.....so I started reading.

They painted the woodwork, changed the pictures, recovered the bench and hung a new chandelier, before hanging swags and wreaths on the railing.

So I started wondering, how many of you totally remodel your rooms for each holiday?

What? Did you say REMODEL for a HOLIDAY? Why on earth would someone do that? Unless of course they are Much More Soshul than *I* am (almost anybody is :P ). AND of course....it requires a lot more money than I have......but then again if I were philthy ritch, I can think of things I'd much rather do with munney :lol:

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Keep us posted and let us know the results of the biopsy. Your case is atypical in a way in that you have this high DGP-IGA but normal TTG-IGA so knowing how it turns out will give us more data for similar situations that may be posted in the future.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Fair enough! I very easily could have misread somewhere. Celiac is very confusing lol but I should know in a little over a month what the final verdict is. Just thought chatting with people smarter than myself would get me in the right mindset. I just thought that DGP IGA was pretty high compared to some stuff I had seen and figured someone on here would be more willing to say it is more than likely celiac instead of my doctor who is trying to be less direct. She did finally say she believes it is celiac but wanted to confirm with the biopsy. I did figure it wouldn't hurt seeing what other people said too just because not all doctors are the best. I think mine is actually pretty good from what I have seen but I don't know what I don't know lol. Sorry lot of rambling here just trying to get every thought out. Thanks again!

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      No, you don't necessarily need multiple testing methods to confirm celiac disease. There is an increasing trend for celiac diagnoses to be made on a single very high tTG-IGA test score. This started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was extreme stress on the healthcare system there and it is spreading to the US. A tTG-IGA score of somewhere between 5x and 10x normal is good enough by itself for some physicians to declare celiac disease. And mind you, that is the tTG-IGA, not the DGP-IGA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac antibody testing, the one test most commonly ordered and the one that physicians have the most confidence in. But in the US, many physicians still insist on a biopsy, even in the event of high tTG-IGA scores. Correct, the biopsy is considered "confirmation" of the blood antibody testing. But what is the need for confirmation of a testing methodology if the testing methodology is fool proof? As for the contribution of genetic testing for celiac disease, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease while only 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. That is, if you don't have the genes, you don't have celiac disease but you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Okay yeah that helps! To answer your last bit my understanding was that you need to have multiple tests to confirm celiac. Blood, biopsy, dna, and then I think symptoms is another one. Either way I think everything has to be confirmed with the biopsy because that is the gold standard for testing (Doctors words). You also answered another question I forgot to ask about which is does a high value push to a higher % on those scales. I truly appreciate your answers though and just like hearing what other people think. Digging into forums and google for similar stuff has been tough. So thank you again!
