Richard: Tell me about your picture, it's way too funny! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I had some Enchilada Soup (gluten-free) earlier in the week. It was very good, but it raised hell further down the turnpike. The picture is pretty much how I felt :huh:

OUCH THAT HURTS!

Richard- I am always telling my husband about the hilariously demented pictures you post. He wants to know if we're having a cyber-affair :blink::P

I told him no, that we are trying to figure out if we're related!

:ph34r: He doesn't own a gun does he? :blink:

the other night I got the hairy eyeball myself :blink: I was PMing and my wife wanted to use the computer, she asked what I was doing. I told her I was emailing a gluten-free friend. Her response "you have gluten-free friends?!"

:ph34r:

"what's her name?" :blink:

I had to do some esplainin'...turns out she was busting my chops <_<

Now I feel dirty :P

BTW - I posted a "LOST" whole epi. spoiler on the lost-aholics thread if you are interested and weak of will like me :)

Heck, I'm displaying such self control not opening your 'Lost thread' (much as I want to)

I'm in the UK and the 2nd series has just ended- and I'm still none the wiser :blink:

Me thinks the producers are going to string me along in series 3 too (patience,patience :rolleyes: )

BTW - How do you like my first attempt at a G.F birthday cake for my son (who was dx last week) in my Avatar?

Hey, that buttercream hides a multitude of sins (not to mention pretty paper round the edges) :lol::lol::lol:

...my son liked it though, and it tastes much better than it looks!! :lol:

Nikki - I don't even think I"ve acknowledged the fact that your son is Celiac!! Wow! I don't know what to say here ....is it congratulations, or, I'm sorry? :huh: But the cake looks really good! Oh, and I am not sure about this either, but did something happen to your kitty?

Julie - how are you today?

No he does not own a gun. He was busting my chops. He actually tried to convince me that HE was secretly YOU. Didn't work. :P

Nikki- Cake gorgeous! Send piece stat!

susie- yes, Richard and I think we might be realted as I was adopted and we both have the same sick sense of humor. I've always wondered if I had any other siblings. Actually, wouldn't that be freaky? :ph34r::blink::lol::lol::lol:

oh my gaaawd - - - that Peabody and Sherman.....what show was that? my little bro and I watched it all the time......that was surrreal, seeing that again.....takes me back to a time of lots of rough-housing and crazy physical violence with my brothers (I pulled my little bro's arm out of the socket - TWICE - and he was a tiny, fragile thing with a congenital heart defect - - - - :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r: ) but we also had lots of fun together and did enjoy our silly cartoons together........he hates me now :lol::lol: (just kidding)

oh, BTW the violence stopped when he was about 16 and punched me in the jaw, I saw stars and briefly blacked out :lol::lol::lol:

Rusla Enthusiast

Richard--wishful, sinful, wicked you. Imagine you having friends and gluten-free ones that are also women, how could you. Such a disgrace, your wife must have thought you were the only gluten-free person in the universe. We know that you are just using Celiac to flirt with all of us. We all know how stimulating a discussion on poop can be. She will think we are all talking in code when we use words like dh and gas.

It was a "filler" show on Rocky & Bullwinkle between the main cartoons.

My sister and I brawled also. One time she got her braces hooked on a the couch and couldn't get loose! :P I seem to remember getting in a heap of trouble for that :ph34r:

You're right. She just doesn't like anything about poop, and likes talking about it even less. I guess this place fills that (GIANT) void in my life :P

oh my gawd - my brother adn I had a braces incident - we were in the pool (with the lawn furniture, we got busted for that) and I pushed off the side, really hard, underwater - rammed my mouth into his knee - my top braces slid down and were halfway off - - - to this day they think I was doing it to hurt my brother, who had a nice cut on his knee - IT"S A LIE :lol:

Rusla - yes, Richard's a faker - clearly he's too cheery to be a REAL Celiac.....he jsut wants to play with us ;)

We didn't discuss the need to talk openly about our bowel movements during the pre-marriage counseling sessions. Imagine that!

I'm actually Bev's husband (nobody tell her)

As for not being a Celiac...do I need to change my Avatar back to flaming *ssman?

We know his type, we are just passions gluten-free playthings to him..

Let's face it poop may be a crappy subject but if you can't discuss it with the one you are married to then what is left in life.

Whatever was wrong with that counsellor for not bringing it up? How did they ever get their certificate? That is number one in counselling because money problems never out rank bowel movements. Blasphemy I tell you.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it. 
    • trents
      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.
    • hmkr
      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
