Bev, OMGosh! ROFLMAO!! I bet you didn't want to be touched there for a week!!

Richard, did your wife nurse your children? If so, hers probably left just like mine did. I didn't used to have to have stuff like duct tape for cleavage, but after five kids (the sixth was adopted), there's nothing left! So, when Morgan teases me about my nothingness, I tell her to just wait, I used to have them, too!!

Okay, now I'm getting teased because Morgan is putting music on my Ipod, that I've had since early last summer but have no music on. Now I'm going to have to learn to use the darn thing.

Went to Maggianos for dinner tonight ... three glasses of pinot noir, that's a lot for me these days, but I was out with my in-laws. Didn't see your mojo or anyone else's Susan. Glad you found yours Richard, no one at all had any at dinner. Except for maybe my future SIL who doesn't speak English ... she speaks Portuguese, and understands my Spanish, but her accent is funny so I have to keep asking her what she's saying. Very cute, latin women definately have mojo, I could learn something.

OMG so true! I want to be Penelope Cruz or Selma Hayek in my next life.......they are both beautiful and full of mojo. One year for halloween my husband and I went as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera....I made a pretty darn good Frida once I drew in the uni-brow. But I'd rather look like Penelope Cruz.....she's like a Spanish Audrey Hepburn (my other idol).

Senate Designates September 13 National Celiac Disease Awareness Day

109TH CONGRESS

2D SESSION S. RES. 563

Designating September 13, 2006, as ‘‘National Celiac Disease Awareness

Day’’.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

SEPTEMBER 8, 2006

Mr. INHOFE (for himself and Mr. NELSON of Nebraska) submitted the

following resolution; which was considered and agreed to

RESOLUTION

Designating September 13, 2006, as ‘‘National Celiac

Disease Awareness Day’’.

Whereas celiac disease affects 2,200,000 people in the United

States, including 1 in 133 healthy people;

Whereas celiac disease is an intolerance to gluten, a protein

found in wheat, rye, oats, and barley, as well as some

medicines and vitamins; :huh:

Whereas exposure to gluten damages the villi of the small intestine,

interfering with the absorption of nutrients in

food;

Whereas celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and a malabsorption

disease;

Whereas celiac disease is a genetic disease, with 1 in 22 people

having a first-degree relative with celiac disease;

•SRES 563 ATS

Whereas the average length of time it takes for a symptomatic

person to be diagnosed with celiac disease is 11

years;

Whereas celiac disease is often misdiagnosed and underdiagnosed

due to the fact that symptoms can be attributed

to other conditions and many doctors are not very

knowledgeable about the disease;

Whereas, according to a study, 60 percent of children and 41

percent of adults diagnosed with celiac disease were

asymptomatic;

Whereas celiac disease is diagnosed through tests measuring

the blood for abnormally high levels of the antibodies of

immunoglobulin A, anti-tissue transglutaminase, and IgA

anti-endomysium antibodies;

Whereas celiac disease is treated by following a gluten-free

diet;

Whereas damage to the small intestine leads to an increased

risk for malnutrition, anemia, lymphoma and adenocarcinoma,

osteoporosis, miscarriage and congenital malformation,

and short stature;

Whereas celiac disease is linked to many autoimmune disorders,

including thyroid disease, systemic lupus

erythematosus, type 1 diabetes, liver disease, collagen

vascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjo¬gren’s syndrome;

Whereas the connection between celiac disease and diet was

first established by Dr. Samuel Gee, who was born on

September 13, 1839; and

Whereas the Senate is an institution that can raise awareness

in the general public and the medical community of celiac

disease: Now, therefore, be it

I hate to ruin the surprise, but I found Open Original Shared Link for you Bev. I know how hard you took it when you found yours amongst mom's cleaning rags. :( How brave of you to continue wearing it even after it was so abused. I think you'll really like this one. It's only slightly worn (most of the stains came out :) ) and you can hardly smell the previous owner :) . Sorry I couldn't find the Gene Simmons mask you really wanted. Maybe next year. ;)

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
    • Wheatwacked
      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
    • knitty kitty
      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?
    • Nicbent35
      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
