What a nice thing to do. I would love to join you but since I am half the country away that just won't be possible. What is being served?

OOO, I'd love to. Thank you for extending the offer! I'll need a private jet to get me there and a hotel room with a deep jaccuzzi! (I miss Japanese tubs SO much. Maybe more than gluteny goodies. Our American tubs(at least the older ones, which is what I've always had) are so shallow and even a petite woman like me can't stretch out and end up with a stiff neck! I've given up baths-don't worry, not bathing! :lol: ) As for the menu, dairy-free and some miracle sugar-free low-carb desserts please. Haven't had a dessert or baked good other than a few slices of bread and a few crackers for nearly 3 months! I'll bet Emeril can make some good seafood! After moving away from California I miss Meyer lemons too! I supose an all American menu featuring regional dishes would be in order for such an occasion.

Woohoo! Even better. :o I don't know what I'd wear! I was thinking that I'd have to appeal to Stacy and Clinton from TLC's What Not To Wear for advice on how to shop when you can't fit into adult size clothing anymore-even petites- and don't want to shop in the teens section and end up looking like a teenager. I could live with looking 27 again but I'll pass on 17.

Well Ka-pow! Or what that thing is he says! It's about time he cooked me something...!

First though things I don't want.

No dead raw fish, and no dead raw cows, and no dead raw anything except veggies thanks.

Hmmm, no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no yeast of course.

Nothing made in a factory by machines with chemical squirting guns and nozzles.

OK, something to eat though. How about a great big steak well done and baked potato with olive oil and salt and pepper on it. And some Waldorfen salad. Maybe some popcorn balls. And a big butterscotch pie with mile high lemon meringue baked on top like my mother used to make. Even If I can't eat it I wouldn't mind looking at one on the table.

Of course since it's an inaugural ball all the waitresses will wear white shirts and black Tux tails with their neon red hot pants. My kitty kat Muffinn will not be left out of course. She will need fresh salmon and some Whiskas Temptation kitty treats and some Safeway brand Priority kitty treats in all the various flavors, served on the floor thank-you!

This is a great idea, that Emeril feller should cook us dinner more often eh? Ka-Pow!

We need some ideas for ice sculptures to decorate the hall also. :rolleyes::)

Thanks Missy'smom! BAM it is!

Oh well, but no BAM today! Looks like the inaugration speech is going on and the food hasn't arrived yet. Guess 'ol Emeril got tied up with other things this year. These things happen I guess. Next inauguration we should probably get our orders in a little sooner eh?

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1! The reason you are seeing conflicting results when you research the length of time recommended for doing the "gluten challenge" is that the guidelines have recently been under revision. So there are two components: 1. amount of daily gluten consumption and 2. duration of that amount of daily gluten consumption Recently, the guidelines have been under revision because the medical community was sensing the previous standards were too relaxed, particularly in the daily amount of recommended gluten consumption. The more recent guidelines seem to be calling for higher amounts of daily gluten consumption over (perhaps) as shorter period of time. So, it is becoming a daily minimum of 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. Personally, I would recommend that amount of consumption be extended from two weeks to four weeks to ensure valid testing. Your Immunoglobulin IgA at 1.25. Was that within normal range? If that one is low, you are IgA deficient and other IgA test results cannot be trusted. But regardless of whether or not you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same, namely, a gluten free diet. What would you do different if you had a more confident differential diagnosis? And there are other reasons for the development of osteopenia/osteoporosis that you probably should explore. Are you on any serious supplementation for D3 and magnesium?

      The results of my blood tests after 4 weeks: *Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA —->   “<0.5 NEGATIVE” *Immunoglobulin IgA —-> “1.25” *Deamidated Gliadin peptide Ab IgG —-> “<0.5 NEGATIVE”

      Hi there, I have been scouring the forums, medical journals, celiac websites, speaking to my doctor and there seems to be a contradiction in the exact amount of time one must do the gluten challenge for a blood test. Let me please express my gratitude for taking your time to help! I will try and keep this short. In a nutshell, I am positive genetically for celiac. Previously for many years 10+ I have been on a strict gluten free diet. At a very young age, I had infertility, hair loss, low iron, stomach problems, neurological symptoms, continued low bone density etc. etc. all the symptoms that line up with celiac.  I could never get an “official diagnosis” because I was not eating gluten for years.   Recently, I had a bone density scan, and was shocked at the results. I am young and my low bone density is continuously lowering. This lead me  to seriously consider doing the celiac blood test to confirm if I actually have celiac. Years ago, I had an endoscopy and they did a biopsy saying it was negative for celiac - but I had been on a gluten free diet for years. Now, I asked my doctor if I can start the gluten challenge and get this over with. My doctor said two weeks then get the blood test. I have been having 2-3 pieces of bread daily. After four weeks of doing this, I went for the bloodwork - it came back negative for celiac. I am continuing to eat bread daily, it has now been over 6 weeks. I am not able to get an endoscopy. Please, from your experience how long really must I eat bread daily to ensure I do not get a false negative blood test for celiac? I have read up to 12 weeks. One doctor advised this is foolish to even do this gluten challenge as I am damaging my body. My other doctor said 2 weeks eat it, but it showed negative. But with my recent continuous lowering of bone density I personally need to rule celiac out.   Thank you VERY much for your help, I truly appreciate it!!

      Conflicting results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.
