Patti- I am going to come hose down yer yard wif my antibiotics ;) After all, I'm mainlining only cosmos at this time!!!!!!!!!! :P

Gads! Balloon shaped sillies with nekkid punctures and ten dollar yards.

I got three pairs of sandally type shoes. I have whiny feet that don't cotton to the average shoe, so I usually end up going to Nordstroms ($$) but at least they fit. And then I got some dressy ones at payless for 8 bucks. go figure.

Jess- Them's good looking shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started a new book for book club called The Lace Reader. Listen to all of these coincidences within the first six pages . . . She's originally from North Shores (Bev). Her mom lives on Yellow Dog (Susie) Island. She now resides in California (Susie & Tom). She was just released from the hospital (Amanda) due to a hysterectomy (Jess). She admits that she lies all the time (Emily . . . well, not that "admitting" part). Lord knows what will happen next!!

WOW!!!!!!!

and oh, Jan-it, if a yeti shows up in yer story, or Chuck Norris, throw the book across the room and run like hell. :lol:

Tummy's okay today, Jules. :) But that took a helluva lot out of me. Am finally emerging from terrible lethargy and brain fog. I'm wondering if there was sumfin' in the packaged risotto I ate that day as well. A trifecta of sorts - beans, oatmeal, new risotto, which I bought at the 99 cent store - that's right. :ph34r: Well, it DID look delicious, and WAS actually from Italy.....may have had WHEAT or barley in it or something, I mean, I suppose products end up there because they are mis-labeled, right? :huh: Jenn shrieked and said that I'm never allowed to buy food there ( I normally do not).....

As well as this:

The only thing a viciously swung sausage might do is leave a grease spot.

These are absolutely words by which to live.

Workmen are gone until tomorrow! Lots of dust, clutter and mess. . . . ..will refrain from cleaning as they will be back fer more.

No ballcocks in sight, but the guys are all francophone, and speak complete French amongst themselves. Honest to gawd, I heard Luc say out the window opening to his co-worker Jean a long, fast French sentence, with "ballcocking" in it. It was something like this:

"Le blah blah blah est blah les blah blah non ballcocking le blah".

Honestly. I assume that "ballcock" is either a strictly English word, with no direct translation, or there is a French term for this item, but these guys like to say BALLCOCK. I did not question Luc. Perhaps tomorrow. . ....... . . .but now, perhaps it's too late.. . ....... :huh:

Was out weeding the front flower bed, when Lefty, after careful contemplation, decided I was cold, so he came and draped himself around my neck. This resulted in a lot of giggling (me) and a severe work slow down (difficult to lean and pull when you're trying to avoid sudden movements that might require stabilization by claws).

I dumped him off, and he sat under the car watching me, reassessing the situation. The next conclusion he came to was that I wasn't cold, I was merely lacking in fur, so he sprawled on my lap in varying poses trying to achieve the most coverage per body part. The upshot of this was more giggling and a complete work stoppage.

Another dump event and he felt that what I really needed was to have my hands attacked while they rummaged for roots. This has resulted in a lunch break.

If memory serves me correctly . . . I do recall an incident which involved digging in the rubish bin for caramels from the 99 cent store . . . :lol:

Ok . . . more from the book . . . the lead character ended up with some sort of rash on her arm from wearing some sort of patch (Bev) and also one of the characters is an avid gardener (Judy). Still looking/reading for frozen balls.

I can't remember who it was . . . but the photoshop is apparent when you see that there are two different guys wearing the same kilt, same pose, same background . . . only a couple of photos apart. It was a green kilt if you go looking for it . . . 'bout half way thru, maybe.

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      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, IMO.  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:

      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.
