God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created HMOs.

Janet! :lol: OMG you're killing me! :lol: :lol: That was a great laugh for a stinky Monday morning!!!

Jin, I'm in north central North Carolina. I've been doing the same thing- a/c during the day, because it's 80+ degrees, then I turn on the heat at night because it's 50 degrees! I'm trying to keep the house at a consistent temperature, though, just switching from air to heat. So hopefully it won't kill my electric bill too much.

A few years ago, in March, I think, we had two weeks in the 70s, and bam, it snowed. :o WTH? It makes me crazy when the weather does stuff like that!

So my hospital is opening a state of the art cancer institute in 2009, everything will be under one roof instead of spread all over the campus like it is currently. Today was the dedication ceremony and We got to sign the steel beam that will be visible in the new building. It was neat.

Jesus would have handed out the bread to his apostles and said something like, "This is my body given to you; do this in rememberance of...gee, I dunno about you guys, but this stuff makes me feel really bloated and achy"...

A whole different set of parables. Light, I think you should run with this. "Genetically Modified Grain in the Age of Christ: The Rewriting of the Testaments"... :rolleyes::lol:

Can you imagine.....Jesus and the apostles in FULL neurotoxic depression from highly-glutenized wheat and modified "food" proteins.......they would have been tired, cranky, bloated and pissy and gotten very little done! (like me, for most of my paltry life :angry::huh:)

Thanks for the segue, Jin . . .

:lol: that one always make me out of my mind (with glee)

Alas, I have discovered two lumps, one nearly the size of a small egg :o and the other, about two inches away from taht, like a small marble...so I am going to take her in. Could be lipomas.....OMG if they are anything serious...... :( Good gawd, banish the thought and

I was watching from bed, too :lol: The second half, anyway....I chuckled during the scene at the party where Edie was watching who was taking the crab cakes--and then the light dawned :o:D

I'll be thinking good thoughts that the Weasel-puppy is ok and it's all nothing serious. :)

Didn't watch DH last night (Desparate Housewives, not Dear Husband). Actually, I did watch him raking up the bijillion leaves in our backyard. Fall is here, but not according to the thermometer.

So, where are the guys? The very nerve of Richard, actually doing some work. Could that really be happening? Tom has had bubble boy syndrome of late. Hmmmmm...not the same without them.

No skating party just yet :rolleyes:

I AM at work, and I AM at my desk looking diligent, but mostly feeling like crap. Someone snuck me some gluten over the weekend, so I spent the night tossing and turning trying to untwist my bowels...I should have stayed home...but I had to leave the house to drop the kids @ school. Now just killing time, trying not to soil myself. (where's the green guy when you need him :blink: )

Carry on

Oh Richard--not the gluten-induced tossing and turning :( . Happens to me every time--ugh.

Hang in there and I hope it doesn't last too long. :)

I hope whoever snuck you that gluten didn't do it on purpose :angry:

I didn't actually SEE the 'Hoff (incidentally that is the sound my dog used to make as she 'Hoffed something up) in my neighboorhood, so I can't point fingers...

I'm pretty sure it was my Saturday dinner date with my wife's friends. They are well meaning but basically clueless :( It could have been anything. (anything except the "peanut blossoms" i made Saturday and have been snarfing ever since :rolleyes: )

Why!, it's an (empty) Aga.

Looks lovely Carla - hows the kitchen coming on?

BAH on clueless dinner dates Richard <_<

Gonna have to join the ranks of 'got a sick pet' :(

Willbee (Will the kitty) fell off the dining table (missed the chair on his jump down - due to an over zealous shoo-ing by hubby <_< ) INJURED his leg :( ....can't put any weight on it! <_< ..is mewing!! <_<

Hubby is IN THE DOGHOUSE! :angry: for being heavyhanded and it looks like I'll be paying a visit to the vets too (cha-CHING indeed!)

Perhaps me & Susie could set up an international fund 'for people who can't really afford to take their pets to the vets' :lol:

Oh dear :( ...poor pets

oooohhhhh....looking nervously at my huge, goofball, uncoordinated and heavily accident-prone standard poodle...something's in the air! It's travelled to England...what's to stop it floating up here? Gotta watch him.

Sorry about the intestinal grenades, Richard. One of the symptoms I do NOT have when glutened, very fortunately, is obvious flatulence. I'm assuming you do, hence the gas mask. Safe to guess that you remain fairly alone at your end of the office? :P:D

Hi Sillies.

The snow is in Denver, CO.

Which silly lives in NC? I'm jealous, that's where the Blue Ridge Mtns. are right?? Must get there in my lifetime....

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Excellent Janet, I love this!

So sorry Richard you got glutened :( I hope you feel better soon.

With The Hoff on the loose, you never know....

:lol: Patti

Tis true, I saw on the news that the Hoff was reportedly frolicking naked through Richard's neighborhood passing out gluten whilst smelling of wee......

Nikki, that picture was taken about an hour ago ... so, today and tomorrow, my Aga is getting installed ... then the tile floor. Next week, cabinets. :)

I'm not caught up ... I just needed to share my excitement, and no one here even knows what it is! LOL

I've been feeling much better, so have been too busy to keep up with the 30 pages per day! Where were you guys when I was feeling bad?! :P

Snow, yuck!!

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal. My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut...

      My bad. I should have reread your first post as for some reason I was thinking your TTG was within normal range. While we are talking about celiac antibody blood work, you might not realize that there is not yet an industry standard rating scale in use for those blood tests so just having a raw number with out the reference scale can be less than helpful...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      @CC90, Your Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor and has immunosuppressive effects!!!! This is why your endoscopy didn't show much damage to the intestinal lining!! The Lansolprazole is suppressing tTg IgA antibodies in the intestines, but those antibodies are getting into the blood stream and causing inflammation and damage in other organs...

The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.

      My bad. I should have reread your first post as for some reason I was thinking your TTG was within normal range. While we are talking about celiac antibody blood work, you might not realize that there is not yet an industry standard rating scale in use for those blood tests so just having a raw number with out the reference scale can be less than helpful, especially when the test results are marginal. But a result of 87.4 is probably out of the normal range and into the positive range for any lab's scale. But back to the question of why your endoscopy/biopsy didn't show damage despite significantly positive TTG. Because they took the trouble to take seven samples, it is not likely they missed damage because of it being patchy. The other possibility is that there hasn't been time for the damage to show up. How long have you been experiencing the symptoms you describe in your first post? Having said all that, there are other medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA values and sometimes they are transient issues. I think it would be wise to ask for another TTG-IGA before the repeat endoscopy to see if it is still high.  Knitty kitty's suggestion of getting genetic testing done is also something to think about. About 35% of the general population will have one or both genes that are markers for the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop celiac disease. So, having a celiac potential gene cannot be used to definitively diagnose celiac disease but it can be realistically used to rule it out if you don't have either of the genes. If your symptoms persist, and all testing is complete and the follow-up endoscopy/biopsy still shows no damage, you should consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. If not celiac disease, you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

Sheesh!  Doctors can be so ignorant.  I've seen this so many times it's frustrating! Take the B Complex and Benfotiamine.  Get off the Lansoprazole.  Go with the DNA test results.   Welcome to the tribe! P.S. B vitamins are needed to correct anemia!  Not just iron.

      Hi, @kevert93, Those Gluten Assist enzymes digest carbohydrates, not just gluten specifically.  Eating a high carbohydrate meal can deplete Thiamine Vitamin B 1 causing digestive symptoms like you describe.  You could also be having difficulty digesting the oils used in those chips.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can help. We need the eight B vitamins to digest our food, carbs, fats and proteins.  Poor digestion can cause symptoms like vomiting and stomach pain, brain fog, headaches, exhaustion.  Try taking a B Complex with the activated forms of the B vitamins (Life Extension's Bioactive B Complex is great!) and additional Benfotiamine.  The B vitamins are used to make digestive enzymes and will allow your digestive system to function properly.  The B vitamins also will improve headaches, exhaustion, and brain function.  Taking Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine will improve digestive symptoms and lower inflammation, too.  Benfotiamine and the B vitamins are safe.  The B vitamins are chemical compounds found in whole foods, not in highly processed foods like chips.   The body cannot make the B vitamins, so supplementing is beneficial.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.
