come dance with me

I'd like to get a tattoo but not sure what to get.  Something meaningful, something relating to surviving 2012 and coming out of it strong.  Anyone have any ideas to throw at me?

There was a thread awhile back  about tattoos that someone suggested a phoenix ( rising from  ashes ). I love that idea and consider it  very celiac appropriate  :D

Yes, that would be very fitting.  I wrote a facebook status recently that said I'm broken, torn and my soul destroyed, but one day I will be whole again, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

      The number of genes associated with celiac disease is more than two, but there are two main genes that are commonly tested for celiac disease susceptibility. These genes are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. HLA-DQ2: The majority of individuals with celiac disease (about 90-95%) carry the HLA-DQ2 gene. HLA-DQ8: Around 5-10% of individuals with celiac disease have the HLA-DQ8 gene. Other Genes: While HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 are the primary genes associated with celiac disease, having these genes doesn't guarantee that someone will develop celiac disease. Additionally, a small percentage of individuals with celiac disease don't have either of these genes. This suggests that other genetic factors may also play a role, though they are less common. This article has more information about the genes associated with celiac disease:

      The whole point of the gluten-free diet is to send the disease into remission. For some this process means strong reactions when exposed to even trace amounts of gluten, while for others it seems they have little to no reactions when exposed to larger amounts of gluten. In either case, research has shown that repeated gluten exposure will trigger the autoimmune reaction that leads to inflammation and various damage, as well as to possible additional autoimmune diseases.

      I just got two test results from bloodwork I recently did. According to my numbers, it's looking like Celiac disease but I cannot see my doctor until next month. Can this be true? My numbers are so elevated this is ALARMING! Tissue Transglutamine 120.9 Gliadin Antibody  IGA/IGC 62.1 Please shed some light on my numbers....

      Christiana makes a good point. Long term undiagnosed and untreated (by a gluten-free diet) celiac disease inevitibly results in vitamin and mineral deficiencies because of the damage done to the villous lining of the small bowel - the part of the intestines where essentially all nutrition is absorbed. Keep eating plenty of gluten until all testing for celiac disease is complete so as to render valid test results. Beginning a gluten-free diet ahead of time allows healing to take place and compromises testing. But if it turns out you are diagnosed as having celiac disease, you will want to begin high potency vitamin and mineral supplementation along with serious gluten free eating.
