Not good for the Queen, a burning brain!!!!!

Patti, sorry about getting caseined, from peach sorbet of all things <_< That's why I am getting an ice cream maker, I can have casein, but this way I can keep out all ingredients I don't want in there.

Hope you feel better :)

If Queen Nicola really wanted to throw us for a loop, she'd make us start using "coeliac" all the time. Perhaps we should start using pig latin on the normal other threads.

By the way . . . looked out me kitchen window this morning and saw a great blue heron on me deck. Haven't seen one in our yard in a couple of years. Did I mention the frog is missing? The frog has been missing for over a week, though. Hopefully, not due to a previous (unobserved) visit from the heron. Them birds are pretty darn big close up.

I'm so glad you're here catching up a little, Susie! I know you're hurting, but even a couple little smiles are better than none!!!

The custody hearing today... is it for permanent custody or emergency custody? Or maybe it doesn't even work that way out there... In NC, in situations like this- there would be an emergency custody hearing to decide who cares for the children immediately. Then, the full custody case would likely take longer to suss out, and can take weeks or months.

Who have the children been staying with till now? (My email's been down, I haven't gotten any updates lately. It's back up now, tho.)

BIG hugs! You MUST eat, please don't let your health go!!!

Btw, ya'll, my rash is entering new levels of weirdness. The areas that it began seem to be fading now... but it keeps spreading to new areas of itchiness. It's all over my legs, arms, and shoulder blades. My eye looks completely Frankensteiny- looks like I rubbed a fistful of Poison Sumac in it or something- but it itches less. I've been staying in the house as much as possible, so as not to irritate it with dirt and sweat (and also so as not to scare small children.) I think that's helping, too. So... even though it's still spreading, I THINK it's starting to get better. :rolleyes:

Hopefully it's on its way out!

I tried the first time I saw one. He was just strolling across me backyard. They're super cautious. Each time, just the slightest movement sends them on their way. I wanted a pic to send to me mum. She's got multiple bird feeders and I wanted to see if she had anything more exotic at hers than I had at mine (whilst flaunting my blue heron pic).

Thankfully he is starting to feel better....eating a little today. :D

I've been wanting to pull up that carpet anyways! :P .......started on it today.

Got a call from the township head of special needs today. I'm being switched to a different school.......elementary. Good thing..........I finally get to interpret (although I'm quite rusty).........Bad thing.............3 more weeks than expected of NO PAY!!!!!!!!!!This school is not year round.

Morning Sillies!

Tis another hot day here....so we are expecting phluids in the phorm of sweat...ewww!

Landen has a sore throat and allergies. I think I just had a bad weekend, I really sat down and considered things and I am going to take a few weekends in August to myself, but things are better now.

Did I tell you about our nosy neighbor lady that drives us all crazy?? Jen lives below us, and on the other side of the courtyard in a one bedroom, we have this older woman who is supposedly disabled due to her back...yet she is lifting things all the time.....Well she always is trying to start trouble since she wants to watch Landen and Jen won't allow her too, plus she is a chain smoker and smokes in the house and Jen does not believe that is good at all for anyone esp. a baby. Anyhoo...yesterday she stopped Jen as Jen came in from work and says How is Landen? Jen says I assume fine. The lady says well I saw Amanda and John leave for work and they didn't have him with them. Jen explained he stayed with her cousin that night. So the woman tells her I bet they dont want him anymore. Jen was like look it is nothing like that. So then the woman asks Jen if she knows John at all. Jen says yea. The lady says well do you ever talk to him. Jen says yes again. Then the woman says does amanda know you talk to him and how does she feel about it? We have come to the conclusion that she is trying to start trouble, we believe she is very jealous of our friendship and such.

She starts trouble with the other neighbors too, calling the office about them all the time. Woman has too much time on her hands.

Time to start my work Bye Sillies!

      Welcome sillyyak52, I'm not sure of your age or if you live with your parents. Is there a nurse in your family or friend of the family that may be able to explain your diagnoses? You can get a second opinion by taking your lab results to another GI Doctor. Good Luck!

      So, you have three symptoms of a gluten-related disorder: weight loss, brain fog and lose stools. Of the three, the lose stools that firm up when you cut back on gluten is the only symptom for which you have reasonable cause to assume is connected to gluten consumption since the other two persist when you cut back on gluten. But since you do not have any...

      False blood test positive?

      Hi all I have had a very confusing year with celiac disease (or perhaps not as it turns out) and wondered if anyone can help me make sense of it? My mother was diagnosed with celiac disease (in her 70s) a couple of years ago.

      So, you have three symptoms of a gluten-related disorder: weight loss, brain fog and lose stools. Of the three, the lose stools that firm up when you cut back on gluten is the only symptom for which you have reasonable cause to assume is connected to gluten consumption since the other two persist when you cut back on gluten. But since you do not have any formal test results that prove celiac disease, you could just as easily have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In fact, what testing you have had done indicates you do not have celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten is the antidote for both. What muddies this whole question are two things: 1. Lack of official diagnostic data that indicates celiac disease. 2. Your persistence in consuming gluten, even though in smaller amounts. Your anxiety over the insomnia seems to outweigh your anxiety over the weight loss which prevents you from truly testing out the gluten free diet. What other medical testing have you had done recently? I think something else is going on besides a gluten disorder. Have you had a recent CBC (Complete Blood Count) and a recent CMP (Complete Metabolic Panel)? You say you don't believe you have any vitamin and mineral deficiencies but have you actually been tested for any. I certainly would be concerned with that if I was losing weight like you are despite consuming the high amount of calories you are.

      False blood test positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AndiOgris! Recently upgraded guidelines for the "gluten challenge" recommend the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least 2 weeks to the day of testing to ensure valid testing, either for the antibody testing or the endoscopy/biopsy. 10g of gluten is roughly the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. So, there is a question in my mind as to whether or not your gluten consumption was intense enough to ensure valid testing the second time around. And was the tTG-IGA the only antibody test that was run? That is far from a comprehensive celiac panel. Concerning your negative biopsy, there is the possibility of patchy damage that was missed due to inadequate sampling as you alluded to. There is also the possibility that the onset of your celiac disease (if you have it) was so new that there had not yet been time to accumulate damage to the small bowel lining. Your total lack of symptoms at the time of diagnosis would seem to support this idea. Having said all that, and this is my informal observation from reading many, many posts like yours over the years, I wonder if you are on the cusp of celiac disease, crossing back and forth across that line for the time being. My suggestion would be to keep a close eye on this for the time being. Watch for the development of symptoms and request a more complete celiac panel a year from now. Here is an article that discusses the various antibody tests that can be run for celiac disease. Note: The EMA test is kind of outdated and expensive. It has been replaced by the tTG-IGA which measures the same thing and is less expensive to run.

      False blood test positive?

      By AndiOgris · Posted

      Hi all I have had a very confusing year with celiac disease (or perhaps not as it turns out) and wondered if anyone can help me make sense of it? My mother was diagnosed with celiac disease (in her 70s) a couple of years ago. I am in my early 40s and did not have any symptoms, but I took a blood test in November 2023 and it came back positive (TTG IGA 23.4 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). I was referred for a gastroscopy to confirm, which was scheduled for October 2024 (I use the UK health service, things move slowly!). The gastroscopy found no evidence of celiac disease.  My gastroenterologist has asked me to retake the blood test, and it just came back negative (TTG IGA 1.6 U/ml - normal range is below 7 U/ml). Given the long wait between my initial positive blood test and my gastroscopy, I reduced my gluten intake but never avoided it fully. In the 6 weeks before the gastroscopy and the second blood test, I made sure to eat at least two slices of bread a day as recommended, and often I had significantly more.  So what's going on? I understand that false positives are very rare for celiac blood tests, and usually associated with other serious diseases which I am fairly sure I don't have (my health is generally very good). After the negative biopsy, I thought that (i) either they did not take enough samples, or (ii) I have "potential celiac disease". But now that the second blood test has come back negative, I'm running out of plausible explanations...  Can anyone make sense of this? I have not spoken to my gastroenterologist yet - I wanted to get a better sense of where I am beforehand so that I can ask the right questions. Under the UK system, specialist doctors can be very hard to get hold of, so I need to make the most of my time with him! Thanks!
