Are you still treadmilling?

I did enjoy DHW last night--I'm looking forward to this season. I particularly liked the "fake out" about Mike. I was surprised. My fav scene was the short one with the two gay neighbors. So cute! Plus, I love Tuc Watkins. :D

I'm right there wif ya on the too much TV :lol:

:lol:

I love the gay neighbor scenes too! Loved Gabby's lines too last night, so phunny!

Yep, I'm still treadmilling away!! I've even been able to go up with the speed and incline quite a bit, so if you just stick with it and work up gradually you will be amazed how your fitness level will improve :D

Don't strain yourself, now.

I'm having a hamburger too, made from ground chicken.

I can't eat beef if you guys remember I had to take out a bunch of foods from my diet after doing an allergy test, beef being one of them <_< , but I have been pleasantly surprised with the outcome of ground chicken in place of the beef. It's not at all dry like ground turkey and very flavorful. Who knew!

Hi Everyone I am going to pass an idea to you guys- can you all give me your thoughts?

Almost a year ago I got married. The week before I got married, I took my mom and what I called a road trip, we went to shop @ thrift stores in the Vestal NY area. We made a day out of it and it is the best memory we have together. She was so happy. My mom and I are really close and all but she was just ecastic that day. She still talks about it today. It had been such a great time, we did Road Trip #2 in Jan of 08. we went to the Allentown area and once again had a blast.

Shortly after that gas went sky-high. So our road trips have come to a halt and sadly the nonstop visits to my moms have also slowed. The other day she said, I miss taking those trips. I told her in the spring we will go again. So first I had said why dont we go upstate NY. We could go to some stores up in that area. I then said I will take you to Niagra Falls. She quickly says I have never been there. I told her we would stay overnight up there. She told me she would start saving her money now.

So I was thinking, instead of NY, maybe buying an airline ticket and taking her to FL. Her sister lives there and she has never seen where she lives. My mom because of our foster kids, cant travel, which is why as kids we never took vacations. I figure, Southwest has cheap tickets and I will make this her huge Christmas/Mothers Day/Birthday all in one. We would go for a weekend. Fly out on a Friday and come home on a Sunday evening. We would see her sister and then the other day do our shopping, maybe see a lighthouse which she has never been and also go to a beach. Intermingling things we both like to do. My moms sister usually comes to see us and her family in PA for a month eveyr summer- but they didnt make it this year at all. So what I am going to do, is put the trip together now, and then present it to her on her birthday or something. If she doesnt like the whole FL plan, we will just do the Niagra trip. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Yes- my mom is a very young, 63. She had me when she was 37 and when I was in school I didnt like it since she didnt have the same mind of thought that the "younger" moms did. I am so thankful for it. When I got to high school I knew what was not a good idea and such. Plus my mom and I are very close and we get closer everyday. All my sisters are close with my mom. We are so fortunate!

FL w/ mom to see your aunt sounds like a great idea. ;)

Jack & the Snotstalk makes me think the Giant in that story went green for the million greenbacks & started a frozen vegetable company. Heck, I'd be Jolly too.

When do you find out CT results, Em?

Hugs for Bevvy!

      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.

      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.
