I can't imagine which of our friends and family would even think of our name with gluten or celiac ... I guess I've never really worried about it, but I don't really say anything I wouldnt' say to anyone anyway ... and I don't have my email address posted ... of course, it helps that I have a common name. Well, common enough.

My natural haircolor is a bizarre combination of blonde, light brown, and red. This color was supposed to be strawberry blonde, but I erm, forgot to tell my hair lady how quickly and strongly red dye takes to my hair. My natural haircolor is all wrong for my complexion, so I help it out :P

When I was little, it was bright red (like Vincent's son) and then it turned blonde, and then an ash blonde.

I've grown accustomed to the dark, but it still needs to be fixed, because it was super dark and my hairlady tried to do a stripping rinse on it to lighten it, but it did so unevenly, and I was supposed to get it fixed today, but my hairlady threw her back out, poor thing :(

So right now, I've got this marbled look to my hair and BRIGHT red roots :blink:

I have another appointment tomorrow :)

I saw my natural haircolor for about 2 years, in college (I had been dying it since I was 13) and then lightened it a bit and never turned back!!!

Now you look more like my daughter in law. Her hair is naturally red. I think she darkened it before the wedding because t wasn't so red. She's a sweet heart.

I'm 5'4 and I have the shortest legs. I didn't pull from the height gene from my mom's side, her brothers were 6'6 and 6'4, and all my female cousins 5'8 and over.

Good point Carla. I don't think I'll change my name either, chances are slim they would put in my name plus Celiac.

Yep Molly, the picture is really dark, can't even see you.

I would assume Andrea waterproof watches also are slobber proof :lol:

This is a premature post....man, I go out and babysit for the night and I fall behind. Then as I try to catch up you guys are writing a mile a minute.

im 16 and i have a purple room and my 19 year old sister has a pink room, and we just painted them!

pink and purple are not JUST for little girls, they are 2 of my fav. colors!

I'm 18 and pink has been my favorite color for about the majority of my life.

:lol::lol:

My Dad, my grandmother, my husband and I were in a limo going to my grandfather's funeral. My grandfather was quite the joker, and we noticed a bugger on my dad's glasses. We all started laughing about it! So, as we pull up to the funeral, we're all giggling and laughing ... everyone had to be wondering since we were the family! We decided it was one last practical joke that grandpa was pulling on Dad.

One time he called my dad and pretended to be the power company ... it was snowing like mad, and my grandfather had seen that on the news. He asked my dad to walk around the corner to see if the street light was on, so when my dad got back after trapsing in the snow, got on the phone and told grandpa it was on, grandpa said, "Well, blow it out you dummy!" My dad hung up and took the phone off the hook. My grandma was so mad because she had wanted to speak to my dad. So, the bugger had to be Grandpa's last practical joke.

lol :lol:

I found that most of homeschooling was waiting for them to finish this task, then waiting for them to finish that task ... of course that was when they could read, so by the end of first grade ... I spent time entertaining myself on the computer a lot when I homeschooled! :rolleyes: You know, ya' have to sit there and watch them work, or they don't!!! :angry:

Hey <_< .... it's Luke's fault :D

:lol::lol:

I gotta wait till I'm on my home computer....and then I have to wait for a moment in time that I'm not feeling too lazy. :rolleyes:

Possibly, this weekend....depending on the histamine levels and brainfeeze factors. :P

I never really wear dresses....only for special events. My mom getting married qualified....I'm just soooo thankful that I didnt trip or anything like that. I havent had much practice in heels so it was a tiny bit scary.

I'm sure it's a beautiful picture

I'm trying to remember the last time I wore high heels.... :unsure:

Let's see. When I'm with my friends I wear flipflops but I wear heels with family. Last Friday when I randomly decided to wear heels out with my friends, they called them stripper boots. I just about fell over laughing :lol: I hadn't even realized that I don't wear heels with them.....they're all shorter than me though.

Too funny Carla!!

LOL....ummm is since January considered forever?? :lol:

Yeah....I suppose it has been awhile. I switched it a few times but then I got attached to this one. :)

I think this was like my 4th avatar??

I'll put up the purple dress pic this weekend.

Ok if it's been since January.....then yes it has been forever :D

:lol: Whenever I say thongs, all my kids think I'm talking about underwear!! :lol:

It's the best when Dad says thongs though.....his spongebob thongs :lol:

no one i know calls flip flops thongs except for my dad.

yes we do think about underwear...

exactly

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By JudyLou · Posted

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
