Since the baggy knickers were mentioned on the Omg thread, I had to come over here to see what the story was. ;)

:ph34r: ..mmm, well yes Carla!!!!...probably shouldn't enjoy it being happily married...but nice to know !!!

I can still enjoy a good flirt! I told Adam all about it! It was just some guy (at least 10 years younger than me! Not some old fart!) who watched me drive in, then whistled as I got out of my car, when I still ignored him, he yelled over to me. I turned to look and he waved ... I waved. Yeah, I like the attention. :ph34r: Makes me feel not so old! :P

Yay! nice to see you here Carla....things were getting tense in Rachelville....I got scared....hold me.....where are those shirtless cops we had last summer? :rolleyes:

Yeah, we need to invite them back over, that was fun.

Lots of 70 and 80 year old guys are staring at me now - same thing is happening to my friends the same age..... :huh: Suppose I should just find a really rich one with a bad cough? ;)

No, yuck. They can look at women their own age. My dad is 70, he says, "But have you SEEN women my own age?" He still lifts weights and looks a good 10-15 years younger than he is.

Get Lyme- you'll get skinny! My underwear is getting too big (lost 25 pds since January).

:o Wow, that's a lot! I've only lost 7 and thought that was a lot! But with cutting out alcohol and sugar, in addition to the gluten, it's no wonder! I'm still about 3 pounds above "underweight", so I'm still okay. What about you?

OMG- my dad is 77 and says the SAME thing about women his own age. My weight is OK- I'm not underweight yet but man I have no boobs. Soon they will invert :P

When I lost that 53 pounds before the celiac disease diagnosis, my boobs went south and the top of them looked like a flat road. So, of course I went and got new bras and padded ones for the first time in my life.

Then my hubby is up late and switching channels and comes across the Oprah show on bras. He found it fasinating (probably all of that boob watching). So the next day he asks if I have a tape measure and he measures me and then tells me I am wearing the wrong size bra. My resident expert kept insisting I had to go to Nordstrom's to be fitted properly. I finally went. He was a 100% right and they are now only lightly padded and soooooooo comfortable. My others were resting on my skinny bones under the boob.

Of course I still look like an old bag in my P.J.'s - he, he.

Measuring is the way to go--I was wearing a 38B, and I'm actually a 36D :o

It makes a big difference--on Oprah the expert said that something like 80% of women wear the wrong size.

Crikey girls, they don't really make bras in my size. :huh: Well, since I"ve gained weight, I can actually find a 38B......but could never find a 38A - have written to companies. Bra shopping ended up with Dingo Girl in a furious rage, smoke coming out of my ears....or just crying.

I am SO getting a boob job some day, yes yes yes yes yes I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

What the heck - I finally pop over here and the topic is BRAS!????

I am SO getting a boob job some day, yes yes yes yes yes I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Holy crap (Sainted Scat?) you're serious aren't u?

Don't do it.

Seems to me women do it to make clothes fit sexier more than anything.

Sure, guys like to look, but we like to touch even more. (Am I crossing a line that I can't see?) Not that I'm some expert, but as far as I know, only natural feels natural.

And how long until the current "safe" procedure/material starts being questioned?

P.S. What the . .?? Everybody left!

      Refractory celiac disease

      By Grahamsnaturalworld · Posted

      Where can I find a gastro in adelaide who can diagnose refractory celiac disease have seen 3 so far and don't understand the most obvious question, why my celiac symptoms did not resolve on a gluten free diet the symptoms just got worse as it is attacking my nervous system.

      GliadinX/Tolerase G

      By ShariW · Posted

      I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination. I had not taken Gliadin-X before that meal, which made for a pretty miserable day. Learned my lesson... 😞

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi trents, thanks for the response.  The 2nd opinion doctor said that if my CRP is still elevated at that time, he would advise me to look at Crohns/UC or another autoimmune issue. The colonoscopy I had this year seemed to rule those 2 out for now so he still believed celiac may explain it. No previous doctors have suggested any explanation for it even after calling to tell me it was a concerning result.  I guess it feels tough knowing I have positive blood testing, permissive genetics, and visible duodenum changes... and somehow it's NCGS instead of celiac. I'm still surprised the biopsies came back negative when the doctor was so sure they would be positive.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      "He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac." But with if the elevated CRP levels are caused by some other inflammatory process going on in your body? "She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate." Totally wrong! This is a highly accurate test for celiac disease, that requires specialized expertise to perform and interpret, and it is more expensive than other blood tests. It is generally used as a last test to confirm celiac disease after a positive tTG-IgA test. The sensitivity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals with the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the sensitivity is generally very high, ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the test can accurately detect celiac disease in a significant percentage of people who have the condition. The specificity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals without the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the specificity is also high, typically around 95% to 100%. This indicates that the test can effectively rule out celiac disease in individuals who do not have the condition. Taken from the following article: Looking at the whole picture, I am wondering if you are transitioning from NCGS to celiac disease. Some experts in the gluten disorder field believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi all, just wanted to post an update.  I have been gluten free for about 1.5 months now and seeing improvement already in the bathroom.  Recently I had a visit with another GI doctor for a 2nd opinion. He said that while my blood tests and scope are not a "slam dunk" for celiac, he believes it's more likely than not that I have it. His advice was to stay with a celiac-level gluten free diet (no CC) for 6-12 months then retest to make sure TTG-IGA is still negative. He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac.  Today I had a follow up with the original GI that performed the scope. She is confident it is NCGS and says I can still have gluten sometimes. When I asked about the visible duodenum damage, she said it is just "irritation" from gluten because the biopsies were negative. She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate."  I guess I'm having trouble reconciling the totally different advice from these 2 GI's. I want to believe the new doctor more at this point because what he said just makes more sense to me, and he gave an actionable timeline for possible next steps. Feeling lost and disappointed at this point and wanted to write it down here in case anyone has input. Thank you.
