Please get some snuggles in for me. Found out today I have a heavy duty case of Epstein Barr to add to my list of ailments. At least I know why I nap so frequently.

Hugz,

Loey

Questions... are all these issues side effects of something else, or you just that lucky?

Daring doctors delve deeply, discovering diseased duodenae, distorted ducts and diverticulosis; don't doubt diagnosis!!!

Epstein-Barr is Herpes 4, and one of the most common viruses among humans. It is much more

likely to affect those with compromised immune systems. So probably a lot of things are linked

for Loey :( I had the shingles a few years ago, again more likely to surface when you have an

autoimmune disease. Hope you haven't had the shingles Lo! They suck! Take lots of nappies!

Asked hubby to help me remind kids to clear their dishes from the table and keep their stuff off of the kitchen island (hairbrushes, library books, school id . . . ). I said I was starting my new year's resolution early . . . to keep the kitchen table and island clear of clutter.

Hubby: "Oh, like last year there would be no dirty dishes in the sink overnight?"

Me: "I said that?"

Hubby: "Yes."

Me: "That doesn't sound like something I would say."

Apparently the "just deny it" resolution stuck.

I put this fake green pine garland on my indoor stair rails for Christmas. I have decorated it with some icy looking branches, lights and a few glass Christmas tree ornaments. When I put them up, 3 of the balls always detach from the top cap and fall and break. This year, I laid them out on the dining room table and glued the glass balls to the caps while still attached to the greenery. A blue one was hanging off the edge. Gracie calmly whacked it and it fell, shattered and Gracie calmly walked away. I think I need to get the plastic " shatterproof" balls ones and replace them.

Welcome to the holidays according to kitty....our first Christmas with Shelby she removed all the ornaments from the bottom quarter of the tree and would pop out from hiding behind branches of the tree to swat at us if we tried to rehang them -- my toddlers (now teens) never created such mischief :P

We discussed this at dinner. M pointed out that we have always hung the non- breakable kid ornaments at the bottom due to large dog tails so we should be good.

my old cat wasn't an ornament destroyer, rather she would go under the tree, find her present, then drag it to the front. Don't ask me how she knew.

Hey wanna see something cool - well if you are interested in medical advances -- a friend of mine is working on this "tumor paint" molecule to help neurosurgeons find their way around the brain - if you have about three minutes check it out and vote the video up as it is some sort of chance of running for Sundance -- oh there are a couple gooey shots :ph34r:

Did the kitty present have catnip/catmint by any chance?

We had a pretend robin on the tree one year, and saw the cat do that crouch down butt wiggle, but we were the other side of the room and could do nothing to prevent the demise of the robin.

My Mum's cat used to tap some little bell decorations and ring them.

Great idea - need to pick up Advent candy today - am going to look for some bells for the bottom of our tree!

Thanks Mw :)

Very cool. I voted for it! It's amazing the things they can do these days in medicine.

Not as far as i know :) She normally got a sealed can of treats and a toy.

I've still got this head cold thing going on. Looking back on it, previous times when i've had this type of cold it would be a lot worse. Perhaps this is because i've been feeling soooo good since the diet change and all that jazz? Not to mention, i don't weigh nearly as much as i used to (used to be pushing 190, now am at about 130 at 5'4'', rather proud of that i am), maybe that is a factor. Who knows :lol:

Now if we can just get them to devise a test to gauge our reaction to gluten in a petri dish rather than by challenge or measuring antibodies in our blood I'd be a very happy camper :P

Oh wait...a bit of a magic wand waving in the general autoimmune realm would be appreciated too :D

Oh and maybe doctors could get more than 6 minutes of nutrition education...now I'm living in the land of make believe again.

oops not funny page rant - sorry :wacko:

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I have the same problem. No matter what I eat, I seem to get a break out every 1 to 2 months. I do not do oats, citrus fruits, apples, onions and other foods also, as those cause reactions. The only time I have zero problems is when I fast. The only staple grain I have is quinoa, as that doesn't seem to cause me issues. I have linked mine to a microbiome imbalance. I am currently on month 3 of Skinesa. It's supposed to take 3 months before seeing results. I guess we'll see.
