The tTG antibody test is a tissue damage test. tTG is a specific antibody made against muscle tissue damage in your small bowel. It is a very sensitive indicator of the small bowel damage that can be caused by the gluten in your diet. High levels of tTG mean that you might have gut damage (celiac disease).t is an antibody test. The tTG is NOT a gluten test. No, the tTG test does not replace the gliadin antibody test. The tTG can ONLY indicate if you have tissue damage (in the gut). However, a high tTG level â infers â that gluten has damaged the gut â it is a more accurate indicator of gut damage than endoscopy.
Katydids (a common name for insects in the Tettigonlidae family) are green. Many species exhibit mimicry and camouflage to hide amongst leaves. Katydids (a common name for insects in the Tettigonlidae family) are green. Many species exhibit mimicry and camouflage to hide amongst leaves.
The Japanese beetle is fading away, for example. Typical late summer insects present now include fall webworm, annual cicada, and katydids. Cicadas and katydids are heard more than seen. The annual or dog-day cicada makes considerable noise while sitting up in shade trees during the heat of the day. Some refer to them as sewing bugs. This is not the same insect as the periodical cicada, which is also called either the 13 or 17-year locust. Annual cicadas rarely cause noticeable damage to trees, so control is rarely suggested. Katydids also make noise while sitting in trees, but at night. Male katydids sing through much of the night from the tops of trees. Katydids are green, about 2 to 3 inches long, and have both long antennae and legs. These insects do not cause any significant damage to trees. Depending on your point of view, their singing may be annoying or just a soothing sound of the summer night. Of the three, fall webworms are the most visible.
