Ha ha! :lol: Tame those pube hairs already Susan! :lol::lol: That's a good question! It makes my hair look shiny, healthier and gives me great volume. Read below... Helps reduce dryness and brittleness--which is what the gray hair can be like. Might be worth a try ! Good luck with those :P (Do you ever use conditioners? That might help a bit. I use Giovanni's Smooth as Silk conditioner...its not really heavy.)

Wow Jen, I won't be using any hair product you reccommend, look at how furry your face got! :o:P

And of course nose, cheeks, forehead, ears...and you've got some really long ones on either side of your face. You're beginning to look like a cat! :lol:

What's her name? How old is she?

Wellll, her *given* name is Maggie, but she has plenty of other nicknames...including beotch when she's naughty. But don't worry--she likes it :D She is about 3-3 1/2... We got her from a shelter. She is a major lap cat. She pretty much alternates from sitting on the screened in porch to sitting on whoever is at the desk or on the couch :D One more fun fact: She likes to eat Lundberg Rice Chips--sea salt flavor. She gets that from her mom :D

Her hair looks great, no pubes, is she using the Rosa Mosquito (or whatever the heck it's called) as well? :lol:

I just came back on and I'm reading these posts over and over trying to figure out what you meant by Jen's furry face!!! It finally dawned on me to hit "refresh" because she probably changed her avatar. I can be slow on the uptake sometimes! :lol: Cute picture of Maggie!

I remember when we used to put beer on our hair in high school....what was that about? Now you can too, Turtle, since it's gluten-free! ;)

Aubrey makes Rosa Mosqueta conditioner too, right? I can't go without conditioning my hair.

BERNESES! We discovered that all Aubrey conditioners have wheat germ oil in them. We can use the Aubrey shampoos, but with another brand conditioner.

Yep- my parents bought me beer in high school so I could do it. I swera, I never drank it. :P What was that beer shampoo that used to be so popular????

I was looking at the Aubrey stuff today and noticed the conditioners had wheat so zi just got the shampoo. Thanks for the heads up though!

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
