Paint Colors?

Hi everyone,

Just a moment of 'weird' in my gluten-free life.

I just bought a new house (3-story townhouse condo, new construction) in October and finally got around to painting the 2nd floor this week. I chose a bunch of colors without looking at their 'names' on the paint sample cards, and guess what color I picked for my kitchen? Churchill Hotel WHEAT. I guess as long as I can't eat it, I may as well look at it every day! My friends thought it was a bit strange, but I think it's funny.

Happy new year to all -

Kathleen

gluten-free since August 2003

diagnosed non-celiac gluten intolerant

multiple food allergies and environmental allergies

(all well-controlled by diet and supplements now)

lol ....I just brought out a sample of Benjamin Moore's "Barley" and didn't even think of the irony. It was too yellow, though, so I'm going to try something else.

Enjoy your newly decorated home and your legit "wheat"! :P

I have been looking at paint samples and noticed I liked the the toasted wheat color and other similar names too. LOL

Oh the irony.

      Can you supply a link? There's nothing to click on from tonight.

      I just got the results from my upper endoscopy/biopsies. Would you be able to click on my recent post from tonight and let me know what you think? I really appreciate it. I want to make note that I do have Lymphocytic Colitis. Thanks for your time.

      Yes, that's the one. IGA Quantitative. What is the reference range given for that one? If no reference range was given, is there another notation associated with it indicating it was either low or high or neither? If not, I would assume your score does not indicate IGA deficiency.

      The IGA tests 5 years ago were: Transglutaminase IGA (EMY IGA) (CENT-tTG), <2 Immunoglobulin A (CENT-IGA), 246 IgA Quantitative was done last month, that was 261. Is that the one you mean?

      When you say a GI doc did an IGA five years ago and it was negative, which IGA measure do you speak of. There are several possibilities. Do you refer to the tTG-IGA? Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test scores down and can result in false positives. The tTG-IGA should always be accompanied by a total IGA test. When people are IGA deficient and actually do have celiac disease we often see it detected by the IGG tests. The same can be said if they have been skimping on gluten previous to the blood draw and, IMO, negatives in the IGA test spectrum with positives in the IGG spectrum can also point to NCGS or NCGS transitioning to celiac.
