BE is gonna do full-on gluten-free for a week to see if it helps him sleep better. After seeing his sad little face this morning when he realized he couldn't put croutons on his salad I offered to make him some. I'll use Peter's basic recipe, with added cheese (requested), but does anyone have opinions on which store bought bread would be the best to start with?

DH loves the Energy brand of Brown Rice Bread. I can't handle it (or any bread right now) but to him it tastes the best out of all of the gluten-free breads I tried. BTW, isn't rectifying supposed to make you sleep better?

Hugs,

Gots me a new baby. His name is Mocha Darth Vader Harvey :blink: Some of yous have seen his cheeky little mug. Not sure if I can get a pic loaded on here from work. He's the cutest little bunny EVAH!!! I'm so smitten with him it's funny. I've never been much of a pet person before and I had a Holland Lop when I was 20 and that was the most evil thing in the world!

Hope yuz'all had a great weekend. I got my birthday present a month early last night---Hub's sending me to HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to visit my besty before she moves back inland at the end of spring! I'm soooooooo excited! Never been on a vaca by myselph before!! :D:D:D

We saw a bad movie last night.

I tried to watch Inception the other night. Made it 30min before I had to turn it off. Too confusing and couldn't keep my attention. Soooooo, I watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants instead. Good movie :D

Have you seen Red?

We have that at the top of our queue with Catfish, which I REALLY wanna see (NO spoilers pleeeeease!!) but it doesn't come out till next month. So I'm forced to catch up on the 7th season of One Tree Hill ;)

BTW, isn't rectifying supposed to make you sleep better?

Our alarm clock went crazy this morning - instead of trying to suggest we get up, it tried to throw us out of bed :unsure:

Then even after we was up (at 6:03 a.m., it kept trying to throw us ouf, even when I was in the hair salon at 11:10 a.m. and multiple times before and after that. I guess the Earthquake Commission will argue for weeks as to whether this was a new :rolleyes: earthquake (5.1) or an aftershock of the old one. This aftershock has had its own aftershocks :rolleyes: , some of which (although lesser in magnitude) were stronger in experience because of the proximitty and shallowness. The one at the salon was the scariest I have experienced but was only a 3.7 and threw stuff off the shelves and made cracks in the walls. The alarm clock (while it shook the bed pretty good) only succeeded in scaring the bejeezus out of the cat, but was a 5.1. These have been lots of 4's and high 3's all day, some of which I felt and some I didn't. They say we should expect to experience these every 4-6 weeks for a year :o Now remember, I didn't even go through the first one, and I am starting to get a big jangled. We had the assessors through here last week but that may not be the end of it :blink:

Oh well, keeps ya on yer toes!!! :lol:

We have about 8 inches of snow here. It isn't moving or shaking, just sort of sitting there. It's 11 F so its cold, too.

Makes you kinda long for the Texa$$ sauna and the hurricanes, don't it? :P Me, I just wish someone would stop feeding the quarters into the vibrating bed. :rolleyes: This is also the best ski season anyone can remember at Tahoe and the snow pack has double the normal moisture content so CA will have plenty of water this summer (or phlooding during the snowmeltl).

I lived where you did my whole life and I also never saw a winter like this one. Took Tony to the dentist today and people were canceling appointments for tomorrow left and right. Glad I have no plans. Just going to turn on my fireplace and stay cozy.

Saw the new GI today and I REALLY like him. He spent and hour and twenty minutes with me. I was glad Clark was with me because I got a serious case of brain fog. I definitely have celiac but he thinks that instead of IBS it might be my back (I've had back problems my entire life). I asked him about disability and he told me it has t be initialed by my FP. Hopefully she'll be amenable to it, I do have to have a repeat colonoscopy and endoscopy but he'll do them at the same time. He's also going to do full blood work. So I still have a ways to go before I know my total diagnosis. My old GI here "said" they faxed my records but he never got them. He'll send for them on his end.

Keep warm my psillies!

Hugs,

Loey

P.S. they just increased our snow from 3-6 to 5-8

Ooooohhhhh!!!!!.........So YOU'RE to blame for this mess! <_<

2 hour delay today because it's too friggin cold for the kids to stand out at the bus stops. 2 degrees actual temperature at the moment....don't know what the windchill is. I'm sure in another hour it'll be way better :rolleyes:

Ahhhhh . . . but come August, we'll be looking for a little cloud cover.

Two hour delay here also . . . huh, imagine that? . . . the good news was that we found out last night so we got to sleep in which was about an extra hour for me.

Glad you like you're new GI, LowEee. I certainly didn' appreciate the one we had until he moved away and I got stuck with an Arse of a doc.

Ours canceled this morning, so I got a call at 5:30 AM <_< I tried really hard, but couldn't get back to sleep.

Our kids are made of hardier stock. We don't get delays or cancellations as often as you do :P

Counting today, my kids have been to school 8 days this year. ( one of those days they got out 2 hours early). Wouldn't want to wear the teachers out!

2 of the 3 snow days, my boys have been a school to work on the robot. It's not like they couldn't get there!

We are supposed to get 1 inch today just to freshen things up. Then 5 inches on Sunday.

It's still only 2 degrees, though.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Brook G · Posted

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do.  I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten.  Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients.  I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their bread... QUINOA

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.
