I just finally got myself a spring/autumn jacket.

Its taken several years.... every time I think I'll buy a light cotton jacket I look at the price and decide I can get a nice leather one for the same price! Of course I have a lot of leather jackets now .... I gave 2 away in the last year so I'm down to 4.... however 90% of the time I end up wearing my waxed one because its waterproof (also drink spillage proof and everything else ....)

So I just bought a light cotton summer jacket.. kinda based on the military style...

I'm thinkiing of trying to proof it.... i do this with my leathers all the time, usually using a goose or seal (I know they're cute but heck does it keep water off) based oil.

I'm wondering, can I use the same wax or do I need a speciality one?

The jacket is really adsorbant cotton so I hope it will take wax easily... but I also see speciality products for cotton...

Obviously its a bit one shot.... its not exactly easy to get seal oil off once its on! Course I'll test it on an outa sight part but would be interested in experience on this.

Are you trying to waterproof/stainproof your jacket?

I found this, don't know if it'll be any help--

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
