DingoGirl Enthusiast

Tom wrote Home Despot, and I snorted, did anyone notice *snort* (DESPOT, not my snort)

SHROOMIE !!! how are you FEELING ?????

Was really worried about so many people after the big storm, kept meaning to check in, had log-in problems for quite a while and gave up. Is EVERYONE OKAY ???? :(

last time I was here, Geoss was riding sailing around on a boat with some pirate. Looked like fun ;)

I have just done HOURS of yard work, hands and arms and lower back - now officially USELESS ;) but happily so....

Can we forget about that "coma" word for a while :rolleyes: ?? It's a place where strange things happen, where the mind goes nutz and creates its own stimulation (I wonder if that's why we dream?? - can't stand the boredom!) It's a place where spouses leave you to take up with your financial advisor, with you looking on; a place where spouse gambles away your retirement nest egg in the casino (again with you looking on but are powerless); where your housesitter emails you (complete with pictures) and tells you of another earthquake and your house is a total writeoff; and a place where the nursing staff boycotts you as a patient because you tried to prevent them from giving you another shot of Dilaudid so they could wheel you back into your cupboard for the night, but spouse calls our attorney who advised him that the San Francisco Examiner is just about to go to print and they love this stuff, so I become front page news and they lift the boycott. So life was not totally dull during that "c" word :lol:

As to feeling, I still have some, kinda soft and flabby feeling, no mussels in me butt for the 13-hour flight so was sitting on me bones :angry: - how quickly we fail......

Ghiannutt has been very undespot-like during her rain, err reign, in fact a very benign period has ensued since her crowning.

Methinks Jyess's pirate has become a bit of a landlubber, maybe looking for a secure mooring (or should that be docking??) :lol:

T'any rate, so good to have you back :):wub::):wub: (wasn't going to give you those before I knew you would be back :rolleyes: )

Something wrong, Em?? You look confused. :lol:

When my friend "K" was in a (medically induced) coma, she dreamed a certain doctor on the hospital staff was trying to murder her . . . and proceeded to be quite a difficult patient after she woke up as she was trying to run for her life.

Yeah, I know, nutty as a fruitcake. I wasn't even in San Francisco (but thought I was). :unsure:

Yea, she's a little stingy with those . . . it's not like you can just click a button and make them appear . . . :P

mushroom Proficient

Don't forget, my spouse just gambled away our retirement nest egg -- I have to watch my pennies. :unsure:

Darn210 Enthusiast

So where are you guys going to live now that your house is condemned and hubby has squandered your money? I hope you've ditched that financial advisor of yours.

Darn210 Enthusiast

Off Topic . . . if there is such a thing . . . I like that particular colour of red of the report button, but for some reason, it makes me think of Campbell's Soup

shadowicewolf Proficient

      Hey, the pan is scrubbed with soap and water, and after that wiped with vinegar oil. Is that ok or should I consider switching pans and only cooking glutenfree there? The oven is wiped with vinegar oil. Is this enough? Also different celiacs have different symtpoms and reactions, does this also mean that maybe some celiacs only react at lets say 100mg gluten per day? Or will that damage any celiac? I have no symptoms, but my pancreas elestase was tested extremely low, which indicated pancreatic insufficiency. I dont know if celiac caused it or not. Also do you guys think a celiac can be safe with other gluten eating family members? like of 5 family members, only 2 eat glutenfree. Can the celiacs still be safe? Does the dishwasher for example usually clean all gluten of the dishes?

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8, Yes, the bloodwork is confusing.   One has to be eating a sufficient amount of gluten (10 grams/day, about 5-6 slices of bread) in order for the antibody level to get high enough to be measured in the bloodstream.  If insufficient amounts of gluten are eaten, the the antibodies stay in the small intestines, hence the statement "tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet."  The bloodwork reflects anemia.  People with anemia can have false negatives on tTg IgA tests because anemia interferes with antibody production.  Diabetes and Thiamine deficiency are other conditions that may result in false negatives.  Anemias, B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, Thiamine deficiency and gastritis are common in undiagnosed Celiac disease.    The DGP IgG antibody test should be given because your daughter is so young.  Many young people test positive on DGP IgG because their immune systems are not mature and don't produce IgA antibodies yet.  Your daughter has several alleles (genes for Celiac disease).   Your daughter needs to be checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Iron (ferritin) B12, Vitamin D, Thiamine and Vitamin A should be checked.   Were any biopsies taken during the endoscopy? Keep us posted on your progress.  
    • knitty kitty
      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.  
    • knitty kitty
      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.  
    • knitty kitty
      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!
