My kids are going through job appitude testing.

I remembered my testing appitude said I should be a professional athlete, hairdresser, spy. I have collected a paycheck, been licensed and insured for the first 2 carrers of the list. I just haven't been paid for my spy technique.

My son's test results... a magician, solar energy technition, and electrical engineer. (he can't be an electrical engineer ~ he's red green color blind.)

Good luck with that storm. It looks like a huge monster that may even affect Michigan.

My kid got Navy officer. Why not Army? Elec Eng can be color blind. They don't actually wire anything much. They can change colors or patterns on the CAD programs to see them properly.

Looks like a lot of us are gonna have to batten down the hatches.

Oh gawd, ya think the phlipover had anything to do wif this? :unsure:

New avvy for my 1k post :lol:

I think we have had several phlipovers causing this storm.

I'm not seeing the smiley guys!

Went shopping last night to stock up on a phew things in case we lose power. Bread, water, and batteries were already picked over. (noticed the bread isle in passing)

Several phlips would make sense (and get me off the hook). The storm itself is an unfortunate hurricane/nor'easter combo--no?

The smiley guys appear across the bottom of the reply box when you click on the icon.

So far, the only thing that really bothers me is the MultiQuote Button and the Quote Button on each post . . . the black w/shaded green background looks blurry. I'm sure it's not because of my poor eyesight ;)

Made some cute Halloween cookies . . . I'll have to take a pic . . . and I need to go post on that sugar cookie thread . . . and then somebody needs to hide the rest of these cookies :ph34r:

People in New England are insane. It's official. How many people are

going to buy bread, milk, and eggs? What are you going to do when

the power goes out? Make French toast? Numbskulls.....

Only thing I don't like about the new format is it's too big from left to right,

you have to scroll back and forth to read. I think it would be better if the

default made the post boxes narrower. Everything else I'll get used to. :rolleyes:

I'll add that to the list--making it go narrower.

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

      Test uncertainty

      By MI-Hoosier · Posted

      Hi,  I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect.   During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Sunshine4 · Posted

      Mark, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful? Oklahoma/Texas neurologists have only offered me the “eat gluten free” advice and then when I ask about the hands or muscle twitching they said they just don’t know. I appreciate your great information on supplements, thank you for your help!  Scott, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful?

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’ve been through a challenging journey since your celiac diagnosis, especially with the unexpected neurologic symptoms like muscle twitching and hand tremors. While celiac disease is primarily known for gastrointestinal issues, it’s important to recognize that it can also manifest in non-GI ways, including neurological symptoms. Research has shown that celiac disease can sometimes be linked to conditions like gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, or even myoclonus (involuntary muscle twitching), which might explain what you’re experiencing. The fact that your symptoms have fluctuated with dietary changes suggests a possible connection, even if it’s not yet fully understood by your local neurologists. It might be worth seeking out a specialist who has experience with celiac-related neurological issues or consulting with a celiac-focused research center. In the meantime, staying strict with your gluten-free diet is a good step, as even small amounts of gluten can trigger immune responses that may contribute to these symptoms. You’re not alone in this—many with celiac report similar struggles, and connecting with online communities or support groups could provide additional insights and reassurance. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
