gah. Bra shopping today. 'tis such a heinous event. dunno why they don't make those things the size they say they are. It gets tiresome trying on every new style. Although, if anyone is interested, I did find a cut that appears to be designed to maximise the fat under your arms. Seems like a POW style....

Mygawd, I am VERY interested.. . . .:huh:.... . do you mean that this bra magically collects all of one's underarm/tricep fat and recruits it into one's bra cups?

Whoa... . ... .I'd be, like, a double F er sumfin'.... . . .. .

I think POW is how I will determine style from now on.

I have to go throw this iced tea out! It tastes like soap! I knew I shouldn't have scrubbed the iced tea pitcher. I usually just sort of rinse but the tea builds up & I scrubbed it really well. Now it tastes like soap! Good thing Dawn is gluten-free. :blink:

Yep, I'm in Auckland, but don't hold that against me :P

Bra shopping... there is a subject dear to my heart... ladies - proper fitting makes all the difference in the world - I've been known to stop people in the street and let them know why their bra is not fitting properly ;) Back fat is NOT PRETTY! West Aucklanders make POW look quite refined don't you know!

And please don't behave on my account... I have plenty of naughty in me!

The worst, most uncomfortable, ill-fitting bra I evah bought/wore (once) in my life was one bought from a specialty bra shop called U-Fit-In in ChCh. Well, obviously I didn't fit in, in their store or their bra. I guess the shop was designed for those with ginormous boobies which overfloweth all cups and know no bounds, whereas my problem is that I have BIG bones and small mammalaries and the cup sizes for my around size start at something like DDXXXX :lol:

Lol Mushroom. I'm the opposite... lots of filling for the cups, not a lot of ribcage on which to rest 'em... if the band size starts with 12 or 14 (34 or 36 in old money) then it often doesn't quite go high enough up the alphabet :D The very, very best fitter I've ever met is in a little shop in Howick - she's the absolute business and won't let you purchase anything that doesn't absolutely fit perfectly... hmmm... I can feel an expedition coming on.

BE called whilst I was shopping and I told him it could take a while. He thought I was kidding. :blink: I was showing him one of the cute ones :ph34r: and he asked what size I wore. Humorous to me that the actual presence of the said appendages is not nearly so entertaining as the numbers associated with them. :P:rolleyes:

I always liked Lands End suits. You could get different bra types and strategic draping or pleating. As strategic as an article of clothing can be that leaves 80% of you uncovered.

I personally go for a one suit that covers my thighs. can't get around the cleavage part because although I'm only 4'11" I have big boobs. I can't wait to feel well enough to sit in my backyard (while the neighbors kids are in school). Can't go to the beach until the strips holding my incision together fall off. My neighbor without the kids said I'm welcome to sun in her yard when the older ones go nuts on the trampoline. She also make jewelry (very different than mine) so we plan on trading skills this summer.

Today I see the oncologist af find out my biopsy results. Clark took the day off. Will let you know how it turns out later.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
