I'd be afraid of chemical leaching.

I prefer glass to plastic and am weary of contact lenses...

That's why if I ever get plastic surgery I'm getting stuff cut off rather than put foreign objects in me...

L.O.L, I believe the term you are looking for it "yuppie". Living in the Seattle area I know exactly what you are referring to. We also call them "granola bars" or "greeners".

Are you seriously that sensitive? You didn't hurt my feelings, takes much more than that. Sorry to disappoint you.

You didn't hurt my feelings. I don't believe I hurt your feelings. Just have a care when you post that things don't get taken the wrong way. :D:D:D

I'm only disappointed your informative posts will get taken the wrong way and people will choose the ignore user option.

N=2, and if you count the ones I haven't lived with there's much, much more experience. I'm stuck in uber yuppieville and everyone thinks veggie is "trendy" here.

Well I hope the OP has been able to get some good info from all of this. The only thing I would add is that if you havn't already had kids, you may want to wait. For one thing, you may not be able to BF with implants. Also, pregnancy, hormones, all that can change a persons body a lot and some people are bigger after having babies....even if they BF. Wasn't the case for me :rolleyes: , but it was indeed for a friend of mine. I have thought about getting it done myself. However, for me, this whole Celiac thing has turned out to be a bit more complicated than I would have liked. I am still dealing with issues and finding CC hard to deal with. I am so thankful for the level of health and wellness that I DO have, that it keeps me from focusing too much on the more superficial stuff. Still, I totally understand why a woman in our culture would want implants. They really are very tempting.

The other thing I would like to address is Ursula. I have done a lot of research on this subject in the past. I have read PRO studies and CON studies. I have frequented Mercola's sight myself. I havn't always agreed with everything there, but over-all it is a decent sight. THe facts are......breast augmentation is NOT a risk-free surgery. Plain and simple. The OP wanted feedback. Ursula was kind enough to go out of her way and provide a lot of food for thought. The word's against her were extremely confrontational and frankly if someone spoke to me that way, I doubt I would have as much class as she did.

As for the comment about hippies or hippie wannabees....whatever it was. COME ON!! Give me a break! I too, have a real low tolerance for "BS" and I just got a load of it reading through these posts! :angry:

I had silicone breast implants put in on Feb 27, 2006.  I developed Celiac Disease soon after and then developed Sjogrens Syndrome soon after that.  I decided to have them removed yesterday and it's a good thing I did as the surgeon discovered that one of the implants had ruptured, which I suspected about 3 years ago but didn't have them removed.  I'm at home recovering as I speak, but looking back I wish I never would have had them put in in the first place.  I'm still bandaged up, but know that I'll be back to my normal self soon.  I'm anxious to find out if I feel better (celiac) in the next month.  After implants I had no feeling in my breasts, couldn't lift weights like I used to before they were put in, and they were very lopsided.  I would be happy to talk to anyone to talk them out of it.  I was a 32 AA and after implants a 32 DD.  I'll keep you posted on my new look...I can't wait to see the results!

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea). I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. ...

      EMA Result

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.
