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.

Go to www.gvpennysaver.com and submit your BRIGHTER under the tab

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.

Robin Wall Kimmerer Inspired Sold-Out Audience

AT THE GEORGE M. EWING CANANDAIGUA FORUM

A captivated audience filled the Fort Hill Performing Arts Center as renowned author, scientist, and citizen of the Potawatomi Nation, Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, shared her profound insights on the interconnectedness of humans and the natural world. e sold-out event, hosted by the George M. Ewing Canandaigua Forum, featured an evening of storytelling, ecological wisdom, and a call to action in honoring andrespectingtheEarth’sresources—not as commodities, but as our “relatives.”

Harley School educator and Rochester Indigenous People’s Day planner Trish Corcoran moderated the conversation.

“ e Language of Earth: Lessons from Indigenous Wisdom and the Natural World” was the third event in the Forum’s 13th season on Sunday, March 2.

During their discussion, Kimmerer drew from her background as a botanist and her heritage as a member of the Potawatomi Nation to explore how traditional ecological knowledge and Western science can complement one another.

“In my culture, we see the Earth as a generous relative, not an object of exploitation.”

“Plants are our oldest teachers,” Kimmerer shared, encouraging attendees to reconsider their relationship with the environment, adding, “ ey remind us that we live in a world of gi s, not just resources to take. In my culture, we see the Earth as a generous relative, not an object of exploitation.”

roughout the evening, she emphasized the importance of reciprocity—expressing gratitude and stewardship for the gi s of the naturalworldratherthantakingthemforgranted.Herwordssparked a thoughtful dialogue on sustainability, climate responsibility, and Indigenous knowledge systems, leaving attendees with a renewed sense of responsibility toward the land.

Kimmerer is the Director of the SUNY Environmental Science & Forestry Center for Native Peoples and the Environment and a bestselling author. Her books include Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses, e Democracy of Species, and e Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World.

During the ninety-minute discussion, Kimmerer spoke about our need to listen to the natural world, drawing from both her scientific training and Indigenous traditions. She highlighted how traditional ecological knowledge can enhance our understanding of modern environmental challenges, underscoring the role people must play in both protecting and living harmoniously with nature.

ROBIN WALL KIMMERER

e evening concluded with a standing ovation, a testament to the deepimpactofKimmerer’smessage.“ eForumwasthrilledtobring Robin to Canandaigua, where she could share her experiences and wisdom with our Finger Lakes community,” said AJ Magnan, Vice Chair of the Ewing Forum Board of Directors. “ ese conversations are vital—not only for growing our local community but for strengthening the civic society we need in today’s uncertain times.”

e Ewing Canandaigua Forum will hold its fourth and final 13th Season event on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at 4 PM. Journalist and longtime Rochester news anchor Don Alhart will reflect on his 58year career as one of Rochester’s most recognized television news anchors. At this event, the Forum will announce the four events that compriseitsupcoming14thseason,runningSeptember2025through Spring 2026. For more information, visit www.gmeforum.org.

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. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com

BREAKING DOWN THE LEPRECHAUN MYTH

Now widely depicted as tiny, bearded and mischievous men clad in coats and hats, leprechauns have been traced to ancient Ireland. The precise etymology of the word “leprechaun” is unknown, though many scholars believe the word we use today is derived from the old Irish “Lú Chorpain,” which means “small body.” Some scholars point to the 8th century word “luchorpán,” meaning “sprite” or “pygmy,” as the origins of the word leprechaun. Another word, “lubrican,” which first appeared in the English language in a 1604 play written by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, also has been linked to the modern word leprechaun.

SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SYMBOLS OF ST. PATRICK’S DAY

Many establishments display the familiar Irish tricolour flag on St. Patrick’s Day, and paradegoers may even wave miniature versions of this significant symbol in support of those marching. This instantly recognizable flag has a rich history. Equal parts green, white and orange, the flag was designed to foster peace in the country that had experienced considerable turmoil due to the divide between the country’s Protestant and Catholic residents. The green in the flag represents the Irish Catholics, while the orange represents the Irish Protestants. The white is a symbol of hope for peace between the two factions. Though Ireland established the tricolour as its national flag in 1921, it first appeared much earlier when Irish national Thomas Francis Meagher unfurled it in 1848.

Host

a St. Patrick’s Day Party with Style

(Family Features) It may be a celebration in honor of a patron saint of Ireland, but you don’t have to be Irish to join the revelry that marks each St. Patrick’s Day. This year, gather some friends for a party that brings a bit of luck o’ the Irish to all.

Perfect Party Menu

It’s just not a party without a scrumptious spread of eats and drinks, and an occasion like St. Patrick’s Day makes it fun to plan your menu. From green frosted cookies to a green-hued punch, countless options are available. A buffet-style meal allows guests to nibble as they wish and enjoy a wide range of foods.

Be sure to think beyond the food itself and also consider how you can get creative in serving it. For example, a hearty stew might be served in bowls that resemble pots of gold. Or display traditional finger foods, such as slices of cucumber, on a platter in the shape of a shamrock.

Try creating a signature cocktail for the affair using a classic green liquor like Midori, sour apple schnapps or rum, or even a creme de menthe.

A Theme to Celebrate

With so many prominent icons associated with the holiday, decorating is probably one of the easiest aspects of your party planning. There’s no shortage of images that scream St. Patty’s Day: shamrocks, rainbows, pots of gold, leprechauns, top hats and more. You might choose just one for your party’s theme or create an everything-is-more ensemble that celebrates all things Irish.

For a more subtle approach, simply think green. Lots and lots of green. From streamers to balloons to photo booth props, if it’s green, it will fit your theme. You can use plants to add greenery in elegant ways, green table and glassware for festive dining and even green-hued lighting for an all-Irish ambiance.

Festive Fun

Sure, the food and drinks are a big part of the party fun, but St. Patrick’s Day also lends itself to some playful party entertainment. A soundtrack with classic Irish tunes is an ideal backdrop. You might invite guests to compete in a limerick writing contest or a scavenger hunt to find prizes like gold-covered chocolate coins and a candy-filled pot of gold.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

In a pinch, you can use toothpaste to scrub your faucet in the bathroom.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.

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!

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.

RELOCATING FOR A NEW JOB

Rent your first home. The Allied survey found that 31 percent of respondents indicated the most challenging part of relocating for a job was finding a home, while 29 percent felt acclimating to their new community was the most challenging aspect of their relocation. Adults who rent their first homes upon relocating can remove some of the pressure to find the perfect home, knowing full well their first home in their new community will be temporary. If possible, rent in a location that makes it easy to immerse yourself in your new community, which should make the adjustment easier. In addition, place items that are unnecessary for day-to-day life in storage. Having some of your possessions already packed should make your next move less stressful.
