Follow-Up Biopsies Help Confirm Healing for Celiac Disease

Q. A.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’ve been diagnosed with silent celiac disease at the late age of 62,but I’ve probably had it for decades.(It may have led to my serious osteoporosis.) A biopsy revealed totally flattened villi. I am gluten-free and will be getting celiac-antibody, nutrient and other regular lab work from now on. But my doctors stated that no further scopes are needed unless my blood work reveals a problem, or I get symptoms while on a gluten-free diet. But for asymptomatic people like me, there are no symptoms, and blood work doesn’t show whether the small intestine has physically healed. I tried to ask my doctor this follow-up question but never received an answer. Should I get a second opinion? I hear from other patients that their doctors did schedule a follow-up scope one to two years after their diagnosis to check their physical healing. For senior patients who can tolerate a scope and have had major villi destruction, is a follow-up scope prudent or unnecessary? -- W.C.S.

ANSWER: Peoplewithunexpectedosteoporosisshouldbeconsidered for celiac disease testing. Celiac disease is a condition of damage to the small intestine due to gliadin sensitivity. Gliadin is a protein that is found in gluten, wheat and other cereals, and it is thought to directly damage the lining of the intestine. This causes flattening of the villi, which is the absorptive surface of the small intestine. The only treatment for celiac disease is strict avoidance of gluten in the diet.

The inability to absorb nutrients can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea and weight loss, but symptoms can also be very subtle. Some people have mild abdominal discomfort after eating, but the symptoms usually disappear once they’re on a gluten-free diet.

People with celiac disease often have low calcium levels, the reasons for which are complex and involve parathyroid hormone and vitamin D, in addition to the direct malabsorption of calcium. I had one colleague with undiagnosed celiac disease who woke up after yet another colonoscopy, and she was unable to move her muscles due to low blood calcium levels. Since the major reservoir of calcium in the body is the bone, calcium is taken from the bone to preserve blood calcium levels, which can lead to severe osteoporosis over the years.

Blood tests can be highly suggestive of a celiac disease diagnosis, but small bowel biopsies remain the definitive way to diagnose celiac disease. Blood tests can turn out negative if a person is on a gluten-free diet, so the blood tests must be done while a person is consuming gluten.

Your question about getting another biopsy after being on a gluten-free diet is debated. However, the consensus of opinion as published by the American Gastroenterological Association is that people like you with severe celiac disease should get another biopsy within 12 months to confirm the original diagnosis and establish that your diet has allowed the intestine to heal.

In your case, carefully monitoring your vitamin D, parathyroid hormone and calcium levels, as well as keeping up with your bone density, will be important ways of confirming whether your treatment was successful. Unfortunately, bone is slow to change, and it will take years to be sure that your osteoporosis is improving through bone density tests.

You can read a lot more about celiac disease at celiac.org.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Downsizing Help

Sometimes we just don’t want to face the truth, so we ignore it as long as we can. But eventually it becomes clear: We need to downsize.

Just the word can be painful as we contemplate moving to a smaller place and likely needing to get rid of many of our belongings. And then there are all the details -- what to keep, how to pack, lifting those heavy boxes.

The good news is that we don’t have to do it alone. The National Association of Senior & Specialty Move Managers (www.nasmm.org) can steer you toward move managers in your area, people who are trained in all aspects of moving seniors. In the Find A Move Manager section of their website, put in your ZIP code to find people in your area.

In my town I found three companies. All advertise stress-free moves and help with organizing, downsizing and relocating. It seems they can do it all -- starting with the decluttering that will be necessary for any move to a smaller place. They organize which belongings go to which family members, arrange for the sale of valuables or donations to charity and even take care of trash disposal. And that’s just the first step in the process.

What I like best is that they’ll do the packing. Then on moving day, they’ll be there supervising the movers, dealing with the utility companies to get the power turned on in the new place and, surprise, they’ll even unpack on the other end and haul away the empty boxes.

Moving to a smaller place might not be what we’d like to do, but when it becomes necessary, it’s good to know that we don’t have to do it alone. There are experts who know what to do and when. That should make the whole process much easier.

SIGNS YOUR PET HAS FLEAS

Pale gums: Pale gums are a sign of anemia and indicate that a pet has a severe flea infestation. The dog or cat simply cannot reproduce red blood cells as fast as they’re drained by voracious fleas.

Send us a photo! and a brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it! Submit at: gvpennysaver.com under Share With Us or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

Are big dogs passe?

Smaller, indoor dogs gain popularity

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Why are so many people opting for small, yappy dogs these days instead of big dogs? That seems to be all I see when folks walk their dogs around here. A small dog won’t protect you or your home. -- Bobby T., Oak Ridge, Tennessee

DEAR BOBBY: While it may seem that most dog owners are choosing smaller breeds, the number of small vs. large dogs varies greatly depending on where you live. So you may observe that most of your immediate neighbors have small dogs -- but their popularity is not as universal as you think. The American Kennel Club, for example, annually lists the most popular dogs by number of registrations per breed. In 2023, the most recent year of published data, the French bulldog was the most popular registered breed in the U.S. However, among the top 10 breeds, only four -- including the French bulldog, Dachshund, Beagle and Bulldog -- could be classified as “small.” The remaining six most popular dogs, including the Rottweiler, Golden Retriever and German Shorthaired Pointer, are all large breeds.

Not all U.S. households that own dogs have registered breeds, of course, The American Veterinary Medical Association in 2024 reported that just under half of U.S. households own dogs, while 32.1% are cat owners. So, while the French bulldog may be the most popular AKC-registered pet,that statistic doesn’t take into account all of the dogs that are being walked through their neighborhoods nationwide.

Security-wise, having a dog of any size can be a deterrent for potential intruders (or attackers). Large breeds, often gentle giants, can deter people with bad intentions easily, but smaller breeds should not be underestimated.

BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH ANIMAL TRAINERS

Trainers train owners as well. Trainers won’t just work with pets, but also with pet owners. Obedience trainers will work with pets to teach them how to behave while also teaching owners various ways to positively reinforce the animals. This is a great way for owners to get hands-on experience and learn proper obedience training techniques, which are not always as easy to learn as owners may think.

Savor Winter’s Impact with Drone Photographer Alex Ramos

When you think of winter, what comes to mind? As a writer, visual words pop up for me: icy windows and bare trees. As a poet, figurative words come to mind: long months, isolation, togetherness, reflection. As a drone photographer, winter can mean something entirely different. Alex Ramos is a licensed drone pilot, photographer, and videographer whose winter aerial shots feature frozen lakes, snowfrosted buildings, warm-cold sunsets, and abandoned structures. He photographs the Flower City using his DJI Mini 3 Pro drone. While others tend to rush through the coldest season of the year, Alex slows it down with his panoramic captures. I had the privilege of chatting with Ramos about his winter photography and the story he’s passionate to tell.

What do you think of Rochester in winter?

e beauty I see extends to so many things like the various events Rochester has during the holidays. [I love] seeing hundreds or even thousands of people come together during an event, smiles on their faces, and the lights displayed around the city. ere’s a certain beauty that winter snow gives Rochester. It might just be the photographer in me, but when it’s snowy and wet outside it provides endless opportunities to take different photos and videos from various angles and heights. A er the holiday season, when everything quiets, it’s just myself and my drone listening to the city around me slow down.

What is unique about drone photography?

Drone photography and videography is fun! What makes it so unique is reaching new heights with it. Sure, a camera may take higher resolution photos, but they can’t take photos 400 feet in the air! With my license and FAA approval, I get to capture something truly incredible, a bird’s eye view otherwise difficult or impossible to capture with traditional cameras. Drones capture stunning aerial shots,

I see your photos of abandoned buildings and structures, which are so eye-catching! What draws you to capture these scenes? What do you see in our city’s history and what do you envision for Rochester’s future when you highlight these areas?

What draws me to photograph abandoned buildings and properties around the city is the history each place holds. Every building has its own unique story, whether good or a bad. It excites me to get creative and tell its story to my followers. Rochester has a rich history. Between the various abandoned asylums, or a department store that has been closed for decades, Rochester has a story to tell, and I try to tell it. What I see in our future when I highlight these areas is a chance for renewal. It’s a chance for our local leaders to maybe take action to redevelop these abandoned properties into something useful for our communities.

What location have you come to love that you want others to know about?

I have two locations I absolutely love that I feel everyone already knows about or should. e first is High Falls, with its breathtaking view of the waterfall with the Rochester skyline behind it. e other is a parking garage in downtown Rochester named the Court Street Garage. It’s my absolute favorite place to bring my drone day or night. I park on the roof and admire our skyscrapers lit up in various colors. I send my drone up and capture our city lit up at night. I think people should take the time to bring a chair, sit on the roo op, and take it all in. It’s very calming.

When it comes to telling a story through photography, what story are you most passionate about to tell?

e story I feel the most passionate to tell is one I can create. If it’s a drone photo/video of, let’s say, the ROC Holiday Village, I want to tell the story of happiness with a city coming together to celebrate. If it’s photos of our various natural parks, I want to tell the story of the beauty we have around us and encourage people to appreciate it. If it’s about the abandoned properties, I want to tell the forgotten stories that people might not know or have forgotten about.

rough Alex’s photography, we get an exhilarating perspective of our city. Alex inspires us to respect and appreciate the cold winter months and teaches us to understand our city’s magnetism just by looking up.

My heartfelt thanks to the kind gentleman who stopped the night of February 3 at the 5 Corners in Albion when he saw my car and I off the road and in trouble. He stayed with me until the wonderful first responders arrived. I’m Very Grateful!!

A glimmer of light

Many thanks to Tim

Several weeks ago, I fell on ice on our driveway while putting out the garbage. Several cars drove by while I lay on the ground. Then a lovely young man in a white truck stopped to check on me. He picked me up, checked that I could walk, and took the tote to the end of the driveway. He was my guardian angel! Thank you!

Thank you to the kind lady who works at my local Walmart in Geneseo for sharing your light. I was shopping for plant supplies and we got to chatting about our love for plants/nature and the upcoming brighter days of the seasons. She even shared with me a photo of a new Enchanted Weeping Willow plant (so cute and fuzzy!) she had found at another store, which brought back a lot of my childhood nostalgia of what my Mom and Grandmother had when I was a young girl. I got one of the last few remaining plants at the other store and it has already brought so much delight to my home and I will enjoy watching it bloom and grow. I ran into her again later in the week when I was picking up groceries and it was so uplifting to connect and let her know that I got that plant and to share that glimmer of light after a long and difficult winter season. Everything happens for a reason and it was so cool for all of that to come full circle. Thank you again and keep shining!

Potholes

The potholes are really bad this year! Seems they’re on every road I drive on through towns and the expressway. I hope these get taken care of. It’s dangerous when people swerve in and out of lanes trying to avoid them.

Have some consideration

Just a kind request for neighbors within the city limits that feel the need to feed EVERY single bird and animal to take into consideration what a mess it makes of your neighbors’ yards, their vehicles, sidewalks & fences when you invite so many birds and varmints to the neighborhood. You may think squirrels and groundhogs are cute but they have demolished my fences and made a mess of my gardens and garage. If you have that many leftover vegetables, please take them to a pantry!

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* In 1862, the King of Siam offered Abraham Lincoln many elephants on the grounds that a “country as great as the United States should not be without elephants.” President Lincoln politely declined.

* “Digging a hole to China” is theoretically possible if you start in Argentina.

* A flower that smells like chocolate? Yep, but you’ll have to limit your enjoyment of this dark-red Mexican native to sniffing, as the “cosmos atrosanguineus,” or “chocolate cosmos,” isn’t edible.

THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN PASSOVER AND EASTER

To the casual observer, Passover and Easter may not to seem to have much in common. While the two holidays are celebrated by people of different faiths, they share certain similarities. Both Passover and Easter celebrate fundamental tenets of their respective faiths. For Christians, Easter commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a moment that has shaped the lives of faithful Christians ever since. During Passover, Jews honor a moment in history that helped free slaves from captivity and shape them into the people of Israel. In addition, historians believe that the Passion of Christ, which is the short final period of Jesus’ life, occurred during the observance ofPesach,orPassover.Duringthis time, Jesus went to Jerusalem in response to a mandate to appear at the Temple. It also is believed that the Last Supper described in all four Gospels was likely a Passover seder. Liberation and rebirth also are at the heart of both holidays.

STEPS TO LEAVE A JOB GRACEFULLY

Deciding to leave a job is seldom an easy decision. However, it’s a more common decision than many people may know, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the average worker holds 10 different jobs before age 40.

People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Some do so because of better opportunities elsewhere, while others simply need a change. Regardless of what’s motivating a job change, leaving a place of employment can elicit various emotions, including some that may contribute to negative thoughts about a current employer. But it’s always best to leave a job gracefully, which can pay dividends down the road.
