...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

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
    • trents
      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient. 
    • BlessedinBoston
      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
