Too dark. Can't see you.

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:

flagbabyds Collaborator

can you see the new pic? i changed it...

yeah i would think that those watches are also slobberproof.

Oh yeah i also have freakishly long legs, pants don't fit me right at all.

Speaking of Mango's....I seeeeeeee you Mango!! :D

I know, when I eat a mango for breakfast I am always thinking of Mango, wondering what she's doing right now down under.

I get so excited when I see Mango's name. Hi Mango!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol::lol:

flagbabyds Collaborator

i think that mango might just be getting caught up, i would be lost if i wasn't on top of reading this thread.

AndreaB Contributor

Ok Molly....it's all your fault. :P

New picture....I only have three of these loaded so I'll switch between them. From when I was around you age (16-18).

I see you Susan! Glad you joined us. We've missed you!

I see you too Meredith! How's it going down under?

flagbabyds Collaborator

i like the new avatar, but what is it exaclty?!?! estoy confundido solo un poquito.

Yep i like it when people get new avatars

i think we need to PM rachel until she gets a new one!

the only problem is you can only take 50 and then they bounce back.

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

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
