Great news :D:D and sad news...... :(

Ptoughmghmnuss!! Superb. You'll be at orientation at 4:30 my time. . . . will be thinking about ya. Good for you!! :)

Bev. . . . I'm so sorry to hear about yer dad's cat. I'm heading over with gluten-free apple toffee cake and a couple dozen Canadian Lumberjack tarts. . . .... :)

Speaking of which .. . . Jess! How did yer Canuck tarts turn out?

Number of molars unknowingly fractured: 1

Number of said molars filled: 1

Quite astonishing. . . . as I sat in my dentist's chair, I noticed him paying a great deal of attention to one back molar. His eyes wide, he took off his mask and said, "How did you fracture that tooth back there? Looks like someone took a club to ya"......

I blinked back at him. Yep, seems my upper back molar is cracked and a big piece is missing, as often happens in barroom brawls, bronco-riding and prison stays.

I couldn't believe it, and told him that I have no idea when this took place.

Dunno if he believed me .. . .......

So, I was close to an HOUR in his chair, as he reworked surfaces, drilled for eternity, reconstructed, froze some more, drilled, stopped to shake his arms out. . . .......

Quite a visit . . . .. .. ...

:rolleyes:

I got the job and am still crossing my fingers that it won't be too much trouble. :ph34r:

Keeping in mind, of course, that a job'll never compare to hanging out here.

Bev, so sorry about your Dad's little buddy. I hate that part of life.

Canadian tarts turned out great. I used two bricks o' cheese, three eggs, 5 T of sugar, a little vanilla and some pumpkin pie spice. Made them in a tart pan so they were like little dense, moist cookies. To transport w/o stickiness (I have a 1.5 hour commute on public transportation) I dipped the bottoms in ginger snap crumbs.

OK!!!!!.....................I've done some research.

The first sighting I can find of Llama Lady is during Emily's reign <_<

I thought there was one before June 13, but couldn't find it.

I know LL appeared after I did, which was May 10, I believe.

Here are a couple of posts with vital info.......

the location of llama land is here! :lol:

obssesed with Oprah .... her friend is Teri Hatcher.... 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon

LL :huh: out

Besides this, we know that LL loves Monty Python and Oprah, doesn't own a llama but would like to, and lives in a place in the US that has llamas everywhere......(once commented that he/she lives in Llama Land USA).

I did the grunge work, the rest of you can put the pieces togeher :D

Edit: Forgot one more thing. During one of LL's absences, he/she had been in New York.

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.

      Hello @Heather Hill You are most welcome.  As a longstanding member and now mod of the forum, I am ashamed to say I find numbers and figures very confusing, so I rarely stray into the realms of explaining markers. (I've self-diagnosed myself with dyscalculia!)  So I will leave that to @Scott Adams or another person. However as a British person myself I quite understand that the process with the NHS can take rather a long time.  But just as you made a concerted effort to eat gluten before your blood test, I'd advise doing the same with eating gluten before a biopsy, in order to show if you are reacting to gluten.  It might be worth contacting the hospital or your GPs secretary to find out if they know what the current waiting time is. Here is a page from Coeliac UK about the current NHS recommendations. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/coeliac-disease/getting-diagnosed/blood-tests-and-biospy/#:~:text=If you remove or reduce,least six weeks before testing.

      Thanks again. My mom was diagnosed over 50 years ago with celiac so grew up watching her deal with the challenges of food. I have been tested a few times prior due to this but these results have me a bit stunned. I have a liver disease that has advanced rapidly with no symptoms and an allergy that could be a contributing factor that had no symptoms. I guess I’ll call it lucky my Dr ordered a rescreen of a liver ultrasound from 5 years ago that triggered this or I would likely have tripped into cirrhosis. It’s all pretty jarring.
    • Heather Hill
      Many thanks for your responses, much appreciated.  The tests did include tTg IgA and all the other markers mentioned.  I also had sufficient total IgA so if I'm reading the Mayo clinic thing correctly, I didn't really need the anti-deaminated gliadin marker? So, if I am reading the information correctly do I conclude that as all the other markers including tTg IgA and DGP IgG and tTg IgG and EMA IgA are all negative, then the positive result for the immune response to gliadin, on it's own, is more likely to suggest some other problem in the gut rather than Coeliac disease? Until I have a view from the medics (NHS UK) then I think I will concentrate on trying to lower chronic inflammation and mend leaky gut, using L glutamine and maybe collagen powder. Thank you for your help so far.  I will get back in touch once I have a response, which sadly can take quite a long time.   Kindest Heather Hill
