Celiac Disease or Gluten-Sensitive Enteropathy is a digestive disease that damages the villi in our small intestines that help us absorb nutrients from the food we take in. It can be passed down genetically, but if it is not treated before it turns severe, it can truly alter a life if not completely bring it severe suffering. In children, we recognize celiac disease by the symptoms that appear before they are two months old as infants. It may happen at any age, but it occurs when the body reacts badly to the intake of gluten- which mostly comes in the form of wheat, rye and barley. The gluten gives the body a destructive reaction where the nutrients don't get absorbed by the villi, but rather destroys them, creating malnourishment and hard stool in infants. The symptoms of celiac disease in infants are they tend to vomit and have a swollen stomach often have diarrhea with a pungent odor.

The way to treat celiac disease is simply to provide the child with a gluten-free diet and keep them away from glutens for the rest of their lives. The healing of the villi can occur within months after implementing the strict gluten-free diet and feeding them gluten free foods. Parents should not jump to conclusions just by the symptoms alone but rather exercise proper caution in diagnosing their children through a series of tests:

Blood Tests - The signs the doctors look for here is the levels of autoantibody that actually react against the body's own tissue and cells in the blood of the child. They search for high-levels of anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTGA) or EMA (anti-endomysium antibodies). There are cases where the results are given back negative but the child still retains celiac disease symptoms which may need more blood tests to confirm the actual cause.

Biopsy- This is an operational test where a piece of the small intestine is taken for tests. The purpose of the biopsy is to check for damages to the villi that maybe caused by the CD or symptoms of the celiac disease.

1. Dermatitis Herpetiformis - DH (dermatitis Herpetiformis) is a rash on the skin that occurs in 15-25% in people with celiac disease, having dermatitis herpetiformis does not necessarily mean a person has CD but it is a good way to determine if the person has it by taking out the glutens in the daily intake to check is any adverse reactions occur concerning the stomach pains. People with DH but no celiac disease should take antibiotics such as Dapsone to help stop the itching and blistering of their skin on their elbows, knees and buttocks since most people who have dermatitis herpetiformis do not have celiac disease. If a person has both then they should enter a gluten-free diet and handle their skin rashes separately with dapsone as the gluten-free diet only handles an internal condition.

2. Screening - The screening of the body for celiac disease is a test to look for auto antibodies in the blood since celiac disease is somewhat hereditary and may be carried over through the genes.

Celiac disease must always be handled with care when with children as it can play a psychological problem if constantly given attention, which can cause the child to be more towards being awkward to people than being a normal child around people. Parents should support the child and remember that a lot of other problems can occur should the child not be taken care of properly such as the possible inducing of lactose intolerance in the child or Crohn's disease, which is an inflammation of the small intestine, and in some cases IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) may occur as a part of the lactose intolerance in children with celiac disease. The parents should keep them strictly in a gluten-free diet to ensure their life stays healthy.

Chad Hines was diagnosed with Celiac Sprue when I was just 7 years old! After starting a few gluten-free and Celiac websites and blogs, Chad began to understand the frustration and confusion that happens upon being diagnosed with Celiac. In addition, he saw the many questions that individuals have when they are first diagnosed. That's why Chad wanted to create an online community where gluten-free individuals from around the world could gather to ask questions and share information, stories and recipes with one another! Chad is on the Board of Directors for the Celiac Disease Foundation and helps the CDF raise Celiac awareness in any way that I can.

Swine Flu and Gold Fever – a Double Outbreak?

After a period of dormancy, could it be gold’s time to shine once again? The market is flashing some fairly clear signs, as Justice explores...

Last week we talked about China’s stealth abandonment of the dollar, and the quiet strategic moves being employed against the United States. We also mentioned “Go,” an ancient game played on a 19x19 board with black and white stones.

In that regard, Taipan Daily reader LBT writes,

Dear Justice:

Superb, as I generally say when writing to you.

I have a question for you: have you ever played "go," as we call it, or seen it played?

On the surface Go/Wei Chi is a child's game that can be explained in a couple of minutes. Once you understand how to construct a formation with two eyes that cannot be captured you know enough to dive right in and play.

Beginners almost always scrunch themselves up in a corner and waste enormous points (which are given for territory – empty points – which the other player does not wish to contest OR for men actually captured, usually a far lesser number.) Those of us who've been around the board a time or two get aggressive with our outposts on the other side of the board early and fight such small battles as look profitable to us...

Beginners sit there delicately filling in valuable real estate in their attempts to ensure safety, while good players know to spread around counters so that they can guide a small battle for territory over to an area they have staked out in advance.

The real point here is that this can be a very subtle game and the most important thing to look for is patterns. I'm a pretty good player, and I relax my eyes deliberately from time to time and let the board go out of focus. In a sense it is the "forest vs. the trees" thing (usually useless) where what you have to see is that there is an ornamental garden if you have the wit to see it. You cannot concentrate all of the time on individual points or you miss big opportunities.

I suspect that the Chinese are way, way ahead of us in thinking out all of the possibilities and ramifications, and that they will not attack the dollar "for real" until they expect to come out well ahead.

LBT

To answer your question LBT, I have seen the game played but not explored it personally (yet). So many riches in life yet to sample...

You make a great point, too, about the value of relaxing one’s eyes and not getting caught up in the small things. More to say on that, particularly as it relates to trading, in a future Taipan Daily.

China Ups the Ante

In regards to the “great game” that revolves around global currency markets, China unveiled a surprise not-so-subtle move on Friday.

Hu Xiaolian, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, revealed to the world that China holds 76% more gold reserves than previously disclosed. As it turns out, China is sitting on closer to 1,054 tons than 600 tons. This is still a drop in the bucket compared to some $2 trillion worth of total reserves, but the needle is ticking in the right direction.

As I wrote to Safe Haven Investor readers on Friday, “the timing of the disclosure is curious,” further adding the following:

Does China want a higher gold price? In the short run, that’s hard to say. Sometimes a big buyer prefers a temporary lower price, which enables them to get better value on their additional buys.

Clearly, though, this move was intended to boost gold (which it succeeded in doing) and spook the dollar a bit more.

It may be that China was worried about all the loose talk of IMF sales having too much of a negative effect on the yellow metal, and so they wanted to say “Hey, guess what. There’s plenty more buying power in the wings here. Don’t forget that...”

In some ways, “surprise” developments like these aren’t all that surprising. We can’t know the timing in advance of when a secretive government agency will make an announcement, of course. But we can (and do) recognize that the US dollar has a terminal long-term prognosis.

Whatever China’s hidden intentions in talking up their buys, prospects for a fresh outbreak of “gold fever” look strong here.

As stocks went on a tear in recent weeks, with the junkiest, lowest quality names leading the pack (particularly in the battered and beleaguered financial sector), gold did not break down, instead holding ground at 200-day moving average support.

Also note that GLD – which is big enough now to perhaps be an even more important barometer than gold futures contracts – managed to recently retake the levels above its 50-day EMA, and that all three key moving average levels (the 200, the 100 and the 50) have banded together as support here.

India Lends a Hand

We can further note that key negative factors for gold are easing a bit.

A few weeks ago, in a piece title “What’s Driving Gold and Gold Stocks (Part One),” we said the following in these pages:

India, the “world’s largest gold buyer by a wide margin,” has even stopped importing “for the first time in 10 years,” the Financial Times reports. In February and March India saw zero gold imports, while January imports came in light. Vietnam and Thailand, normally reliable buyers of gold, have also been selling. Stepped-up scrap sales have even put Asia scrap sales at a discount to the standard London quote.

As the seasons change – and festival season picks up – India is returning to its old habits. After virtually “zero” gold imports in February and March, provisional statistics from the Bombay Bullion Association suggest India has imported as much as 30 tons of gold and 60 tons of silver for the month of April thus far.

Spec Rally Running on Fumes?

Another factor weighing in gold’s favor is the real possibility that this speculative rally in “junk” stocks is running on fumes – and that the whole thing could end in tears.

While it’s good to see a number of quality names lifted higher by positive market sentiment, it’s distressing to see so many turkeys flying high too – a sign that the windstorm probably won’t last. What’s more, we are now seeing a rapid unloading of insider shares according to Bloomberg:

Executives and insiders at U.S. companies are taking advantage of the steepest stock market gains since 1938 to unload shares at the fastest pace since the start of the bear market...

While the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index climbed 28 percent from a 12-year low on March 9, CEOs, directors and senior officers at U.S. companies sold $353 million of equities this month, or 8.3 times more than they bought, data compiled by Washington Service, a Bethesda, Maryland-based research firm, show.

Not exactly a shining vote of confidence, that. To the degree that this rally has been fueled by a combination of short squeeze, bogus bank earnings and balance sheet hocus-pocus, the risk of a big downside whoosh is heightened – which further improves the outlook for gold.

And Last but Not Least, Swine Flu

And then, of course, we have the global outbreak of swine flu. If you’ve been scanning the headlines, this is pretty scary stuff.

Here is a list of countries either dealing with confirmed cases of swine flu, testing potential cases, or setting up active quarantine measures thus far: Australia, New Zealand, Israel, France, Spain, the United States (at least 11 confirmed cases), Canada (six cases), of course Mexico (the epicenter), Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Russia. I’ve probably missed a few.

“It’s a bit movie-like, it doesn’t feel real,” an unnamed New Zealand student said, in reference to the quarantine process after getting sick in Mexico.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t get even more “movie-like.” Outbreak and Twelve Monkeys come to mind...

Putting Hollywood aside, it’s too early to panic – but it isn’t too early to start thinking about consequences. We are already getting word that this new swine flu is a sort of hybrid not really seen before. And we know an event like this is potentially far more serious in economic terms than, say, an isolated terrorist attack, because of the degree of global “shutdown” that can occur.

Taking a grimly opportunistic view of things, the threat of escalation on the swine flu front bolsters the gold case in two areas. First as a form of “crisis insurance” – a place to hide when things start looking ugly again – and a second as a doubly renewed form of “printing press insurance,” given the fact that global slowdown brought about by swine flu might give the powers that be even more excuse to pump trillions of paper dollars into the system.

Got gold?

Quit smoking, its not worth the money and you'll get sick. Wait till next year to move out, when you're 18.

And I think you're being really immature with the whole smoking thing. It's stupid just to move out because your mom said she wouldn't support you if you kept smoking.

Sharon trustees review crash, chemical spill
Emergency personnel did a “superb job” of handling a recent accident that took the life of tanker driver Phillip Linden, 75, and caused a chemical spill requiring a 13-hour cleanup effort, said Trustee Brian Guccion at the July 13 Sharon Township Board of Trustees meeting.
