Great investigative work, Leeesa.. . ....It's beginning to hurt my wee brain. :rolleyes::lol:

Wow! I don't remember ever seeing that on Sesame Street! Probably a wee bit after my time.. . . ... <_<

I was on the edge of my seat, waiting with bated breath to see if that llama was going to have an unexplained fractured back molar. . . . . ....

.....Phunny coincidence. .. ......

I remembered it, and googled it. Was actually quite surprised to find it.

For some reason, I ADORED that clip on SS when I was younger. We used to sing the song all the time. I've always loved llamas (I have no idea why). Just do.

(I swear I am not the llama lady)

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.......

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

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

I've got it! Llama Lady is this Australian TV personality named Megan......but I don't know her last name (yet). She has about 300 + videos on youtube under the name jewelchic, and she's a jewelry designer! :wub:

LLAMA LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <screaming hyperactively and raising hand frantically> I make jewelry also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: <using semi-precious stones, pearls, and sterling wire and other krap>

will you be my phriend?????????????????????????????? :lol: but wait.....more importantly.......

WILL YOU CLAIM THE PSILLIES AS YOUR FRIENDS????????????????????

<do you think I"m scaring her?> :lol:

☻☻☻☻☻

Now . . . did you happen to remember this?? . . . or were you googling llamas and dentist and this pooped up??

what? you don't do that all the time? :lol:

<how DID she remember that? >

.....Phunny coincidence. .. ......

Gad. . . . . .. ...Am I Llama lady????

:unsure:are you? is EM the most wackl Llama Lady?

and............in the identity theft video, there's Van Gogh's Sunflowers above the fireplace...........is it real? :huh: Does Llama Lady own the original? ☼

maybe she was lying? throwing us off the scent? :lol:

her map DID have "Gnu Mexico" on it.......which was 10 miles away from an island surrounded by water. :blink:

wouldn't Gnu Mexico have the largest concentration of llamas in the US?

would it?

:blink:

I have never really had to think this hard about llamas before.

Maybe Terri Hatcher is the Llama Lady!

NO NO NO . . . I have decided it is NOT Jenny McCarthy but it is in fact, Jim Carrey pretending to BE Jenny McCarthy . . . he was Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, you know. I'm pretty sure that means he likes animals of all sorts (cats and llamas)!! Also, this would mean that he didn't watch any movies wif his husband!! (Once again, I'm ignoring the nonCeliac status and just going wif the gluten-free lifestyle . . . but that's my perogative :lol: )

and Susie . . . yer Aussie lady has been Celiac for 12 years . . . I think it's someone with a relatively new diagnosis.

OK Sillies, get this . . . our family is yet again travelling. Leaving tomorrow and coming back on Saturday. I'm tired of it all!!! Whose ideas was this???!!! . . . Oh yeah . . . mine :ph34r: Seemed like a good idea a couple of months ago.

Gooooood Morning, Llama-watchers!!

.......in the identity theft video, there's Van Gogh's Sunflowers above the fireplace...........is it real? :huh: Does Llama Lady own the original? ☼

No, she does not. . . . but this may be the MOST SIGNIFICANT clue yet - - subtle, but there.. . . . ..Van Gogh's Sunflowers is owned by The Yasuda Fire and Marine Insurance Company Ltd., out of Tokyo.

Llama Lady is David Suzuki.

:lol:

Sounds like you've got it all pretty well figgered out, you late-nighters . .. . . my vote's on the Aussie lady - - think you're bang on, Soooozie.

Mornin' Sillies <shuffling in, rubbing eyes, trying to wake up>

THIS is the llama lady!

During the setup for the piece on Sesame Street they wanted to make sure the little girl and the llama had a good rapport, so for 1 month they lived together, slept together, had breakfast cereal together (which, because of the underlying Celiac led to gastric discomfort which created this whole love/pain association that took years of therapy to get through).

Then, after they'd done the dental piece, *poof* llama gone forever leaving an aching void which she knew could only be filled by another llama. The years of llamalessness have only increased the need for dromedary companionship and so now she needs, not just one llama, but a whole herd to feel whole again.

We have to help her! If she doesn't get llamas soon I'm sure this deep rooted need will progress to alpacas and full grown camels! Where will she ever find an apartment that'll accept camels??

Psillies! Unite and psave this poor psoul!!

DingoGirl Enthusiast

oooooooops - duplicate

Jess, I totally agree with this line of thinking. . . . . that Sesame Street clip is, what, 25 years old? That would but her mid-thirties .. . . .about the age of Megan Aussielady. . .....

Actually, we never heard that young girl talk, nor were we given any real visual evidence as to where this piece of film was made. . . . ...could very well be Australian . . .. ....

A llamalessness :lol: existence. . . . .

      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
