...or the pony-tail, something I resort to OFTEN :lol:

I use a clip and twist it up .... I can never make a comfortable pony tail. But, a baseball cap looks cute with hoop earrings and my braces. :D

February. It's been one year this month. I will get a tooth positioner to do the final details, it cuts months off treatment ... it is to be worn 24 hours per day the first week, except when eating, then a few hours per day plus night, then night only after a while.

The ONLY thing that bothers me about them is that it's hard to play my flute. In fact, it sounds horrible.

okay Tom - - we are going to LET GO of the topic of Susie's cheating now. and, this is exactly why I shall not mention it again - - it just keeps coming up (like the burps after a doUGHnut binge!)....

can we PLEASE talk about something more important for God's sake, like the Care Bears with machine guns???????????????????

:huh:

Who's talking about cheating? :blink: I'm talking about experiments!! :rolleyes:

Will they be secretly done w/ zero benefit to our delightful & precious community, or will our 'canary in a gluten gorge' acquiesce & supply our world w/ potentally VERY valuable info?

Truth be told, in your situation I'd probably be looking to see if I could do a few experiments to gauge reactions to each of the 3 offensive grains.

I would SO SO love to be able to distinguish betw being barleyed and wheatened.

P.S. Silliness still on hold. :mellow: And of course I haven't touched soy in any form since may 29th. :P

Oh!! WTH is THIS guy ^_^ supposed to signify?

4 doctors go out duck hunting: A general practitioner, a gynecologist, a surgeon, and a pathologist.

A duck flies into the air in front of them.

The gp doesn't shoot because he can't identify it positively as a duck

The gyne doesn't shoot because he isn't sure if it's a male or a female

The surgeon blasts the duck out of the air, turns to the pathologist and says "go find out what that was"

Just LOOK at the size of your silly "little" thread, Richard, rivaled only by Rachel's OMG thread!!!!

:rolleyes:

Straight, flat, ughhhh....Guys, I'd take your curls ANY day!

oh - -- don't EVEN get me started on the curly hair!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

I shall tell you a small story.

a year or so ago, I was minding my own business, driving a long stretch of hideously boring, flat, and ugly freeway, coming home from the beach. Highway 99, arguably the nation's ugliest freeway - where one finds oneself left with only one's thoughts, tunes, panting dingos, one's insanity, and the stench of dairy. :blink:

So anywho.....I happen to glance over at this elderly woman in a car next to me - she could have been anywhere between 57 and 80, who knows.

I started pondering her hair.....it was simply a white, thinning, puff of frizzball, a halo around her head, completely left in its natural, untouched state, and there she was, in front of God and everyone, rather saying - - "here I am, this is me, this is how it is, and there you go."

And I thought to myself - - at what point does a woman just let things completely GO - - just revert back to the default setting of one's hair - - no dye, no curling, no blow-drying, nothing. And also, no makeup. (*gasp!*)

:lol: had kind of a little chuckle over that one. Because, the answer, for me, is NEVER. I will FIGHT this freaking, coarse, half-gray FRIZZ BALL until the day I dye, for god's sake,

AND IT IS A TEDIOUS AND FUTILE ADN EXPENSIVE AND EXHAUSTING FIGHT, is it not, Ladies????

:angry::angry:

I have decided that the way to age beautifully and gracefully and without too much fuss is to have STRAIGHT HAIR. The curly/frizzy hair just reverts to a shorter puffball in one's latter years. Makes me FURIOUS.

Here's mine -

My hubby has hair ... on his head even. Men don't actually lose hair ... they grow it all over, except on their head!!

Most days my hair's just frizzy and I only have on mascara and lip gloss .... if I'm going somewhere other than the grocery or Starbucks, I'll get out the curling iron and tame a few curls like I did yesterday when I snapped the picture ... it only takes about 5 minutes ...

I used to do my hair and makeup every day ... I'll do that again sometime. :D

Daughter-of-TheLight Apprentice
Hi Daughter.

Please explain

1. Danzon

2. your Care Bear theory and disdain and the brainwashing by said Bears

3. Why you are so bored

....and anything else you care to reveal.

:lol:

Do you REALLY want me to explain all that?

Ok.

1: The Danzon (pronounced Dan-son-with-an-almost-g-sound with a spanish accent) Is a spanish dance commonly done by the COURT of a Quincenera. I'm In my friend's Court this year and am dancing with an 11 year old that wouldn't know the Danzon from his left foot. (hence the frustration...)

2: the care bear theory is the fact that... Ok. Carebears, frankly, scare me. They are colorful bears that talk. They have extremely stupid messages that brainwash our children with the ideas of a society where they are trying to make everyone like everyone else. If you look at my last posts, you will see that the other brainwashing kids shows are...

A: Boo-Bah

B: Telletubbies

C: Whoever decided to change Dorothy to a new goldfish and created "Elmo's world"

Now, I actually like Sesame street and think that the new shows, like Booh-bah are harmful to children's minds. I mean, they waddle around saying "Boo-bah" and farting! The teletubbies do not speak intelligebly (and by intelligebly, i mean so that you can understand them) and do the EXACT same thing every time. If you look at other new kids shows, you start to realize that the media is trying to turn our childrens brains to mush after brainwashing them all day in school!

3: The reason why I was bored is because... I had nothing to do? Uhh... yeah. I think that was it...

I *gropes for words* Like to read? And write poetry? (obviously...)

Cows

I do think I'm funny,

And you will think so too,

Once you know

Some of what I do.

When I try to go to sleep,

I count cows instead of sheep!

Cows jumping over fences,

Jumping over moons,

I count cows instead of sheep!

I am crazy, don't you think?

FINALLY I went to the doctor,

I said,

Doctor, Doctor, help me please!

I count cows instead of sheep!

That doctor gave me a book,

I read it through and did it,

But still It did not work.

I count cows instead of sheep!

I am crazy, Don't you think?

-Me, when I was nine.

<@:angry: ?~

But, in general - no news flash here - guys are more like that woman on Hwy 99. Nary a care for spending actual time on hair.

BUT!! Those w/ facial hair WILL pay attn to it. My last trip to SJ, I kinda just didn't get around to shaving for a week then got creative during the shave. Actually had a Fu Manchu for a couple days :lol: hehehehehehehe. Friends who've known me for 18 yrs said things like "I didn't know u could DO that!", and in asking for honest opinions I got nothin' but positives. But it didn't much feel like ME.

I will FIGHT this freaking, coarse, half-gray FRIZZ BALL until the day I dye, for god's sake,

Oh hair, hair, hair.....I am lamenting mine right now. I cut it (myself!) to shoulder length. It took about an hour and a half (the thought of actually getting it done was too tiring- how sad is that?) and it came out fine, even etc but now it's too short for a proper pony tail. DUMB DUMB DUMB.

It now looks like this

      I have read fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, Kefir, Kombucha are great for gut health besides probiotics. However I have searched and read about ones that were tested (Kefir, Kombucha) and there is no clear one that is very helpful. Has anyone take Kefir, Kombucha and noticed a difference in gut health? I read one is lactose free but when tested was high in lactose so I would probably try a non dairy one. Thanks
    • SamAlvi
      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.
    • knitty kitty
      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine? 
    • knitty kitty
      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?
