Riceguy, haven't I read on your posts that you are still trying to come to the bottom of your health concerns?

Well, like I said, I do believe I found the culprit. I'm still recovering though, so maybe that's what you had read. It seems to be taking some time for the toxins to clear out. I can understand that since I was doing so badly for so long. I can feel the improvement day by day.

Thanks for the idea of adrenal fatigue though. I will look it up and see if it applies, but I can certainly say I didn't react well to meat even a number of years ago. So if adrenal fatigue is an issue, then I'd guess it would had to have been with me a long time.

For anyone looking to increase protein intake, but cautious about meats, try T'eff. It has more protein than many other grains. Low in fat too, if that's a requirement. I think Flax might actually have even more protein than Teff, plus the omega-3 is really good. Thing is, I doubt Flax makes a good cereal. It's usually just sprinkled on food or into recipes. Millet ain't bad either, and it's very digestible and well tolerated by most people with allergies to other things.

No I know not everyone beleives in santa

Phased?

Certainly, the shoe elves are usually very reliable. I don't know what they have done with my shoes and the underpants gnomes have stolen my pants.... of course I'm phased!

You know the little guys who come i the night and steal your underware.

Its usually odd socks but sometimes other stuff gopes missing only to turn up hidden in a comforter cover or something later...

Don't you have them in America?

To check you need a packet of lucky charms and dig a big hole .. in the morning you can pull out assorted eleves, gnomes and fairies. If you live near an airport you can get leprechauns as well who stow away in the wheel arches of Air Lingus jets!

It might be. I much prefer a physics model as a means of explanation. For instance, one might suppose that the temperature inversion combined with the angular momentum of the rotating drum sets up a sympathetic resonance on a hyperdimensional level. As electrical discharges (from static electricity) occur in this region, a rift opens, quickly forming into a vortex due to the rotation. This is what physicists call a "worm hole", which is essentially a portal into a another part of the universe, or even another dimension. Granted, this can only be theory until someone devises a method to test it.

Or it could just be that your missing sock is stuck inside another article of clothing, or still clinging to the inner surface of the washer.

That's how the underpants gnomes travel here from their dimension!

Luckily I sell a special antiwormhole device I can sell for only $200 that prevents this....

send all money to ascammer@scam.net quickly before you loose out.

Only limited socks left.. I mean stocks left.

Is it just me or is this getting silly :D

With six kids, we lose more socks than I buy, and no I have not figured out how that happens ... but I know I can keep my kids in socks for a long time for $200!! I bet you don't sell many of those!!

Did you ever see Amelia, hmm, that's not right, I don't think, but it was a French movie and the yard gnome traveled the world? Great flick, even though I had to rely on subtitles.

Come on guys, we're all old enough to know how to handle the sock monsters. I'm in Ireland so its mostly leprecuans here.

A usefull fact is that most leprecuans are celiac, so just leave em a bowl of cookies and they wont bother you again. Otherwise your only hope is the gnome trap with lucky charms as previously described.

However the lucky charms will also attract toothfairies. If the fairies are left trapped with the gnomes overnight, well . . . in the morning it ain't pretty.

Really the best way is to keep your socks in a timed safe. Only set it to unlock once a day.

Sock Problem

when I was 16 I dated this fella I liked alot. I also used to use the dryer to iron my clothes...you know about 5 minutes of tumbling the wrinkles are gone.

Well we went ... movies and food and sat in his car after date, just talking. Anyway, all of a sudden during our date I feel something scratching my back....I place my hand by my collar in back and like a magician I pull a white sports sock out of my blouse! I was so embarassed .....

When I was in kindergarten I found one of my dad's socks in my sleeve. I was so embarassed and didn't want to answer questions about why I had a man's sock that I left it there all day!!!

Did you ever get another date with him?

These stories are hilarious. :) It reminds me of a time I was taking karate class and I did a kick and a pair of underwear that had been caught in the pants in the dryer, came flying out the end of the pant leg. :P

Ooh, Nancy, there's no topping that! :D I did walk around with a pair of undies in a sweater sleeve for several days once, but luckily (this was in high school...) I was alone when I discovered tham. phew! :P

another date? no. As teenaged romances go, it was over before it began. I don't know if he even saw the sock as it was dark...I don't think we had another date after that one.....I occasionally do still speak with him and he never married or held a long-term relationship. He's a loner - artistic type.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      Celiac support is hard to find

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me. I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
