Sorry, it's a hijab or nothing for you, young lady.

BAH! never! although I like those lacy mantillas. Remember those? does anyone still wear those?

But I like this hat!

This hat would make me look like hubs.

He has a fluffy beard.

Those beardo hats were pitched by their Canadian inventor to the impressed millionaires on Dragon's Den, but no one invested. Their mistake.....

I can see reasons for wearing that hat. They all have to do with shoveling snow.

Buy a snowblower!!! Not as environmentally friendly, but gets you inside a lot quicker.

elye Community Regular

Man, those hats would be SO NOT for me. Having a lifetime of experience outside in January frigidity, careening down hills, pushing a shovel through snowdrifts, waiting at ice-covered, windblown bus stops, I can well imagine what the "beard' of this headwear would look like after a few minutes... . ...in fact, I'm wondering if this problem is unique to me, as the Beardo is selling like crazy.

Doesn't everybody get a running-like-a-faucet nose in freezing weather??

I know someone who does.

When hubs snow-blows our ridiculously long driveway, he wears this dark, bizarre woolen cap/snow mask similar to this hat. He looks like he is about to rob a bank.

When he comes back inside, we have to pry the thing off him because YES, his nose runs and his eyes tear up and so little icicles form everywhere !! and then, the hat/mask sticks to his face and beard. :( He is red- faced for hours after and he says it hurts like heck. (granted, he is also a very white Irish man with ridiculously sensitive skin that burns in about 5 minutes in the sun. )

So you must have plenty of these in your house.

At the risk of sounding stupid, why don't you just thaw his face first? Like with a blowdryer or a dip into a sinkful of warn water? Then throw the mask in the dryer?

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped. 
    • Samanthaeileen1
      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
