My grandmother used to tell that one, but slightly different:

A belch is but a breath of air breathed upward from the heart, but when it takes a downward turn, it's usually called a fart.

Yep--the type is different, too. That's actually the first thing I noticed this morning.

It's harder to read.

I don't dislike ALL the colors, just the gray on the reply, quote, etc. buttons, and the DARK navy on the bar at the top. I don't particularly like gray and blue together ... and it doesn't go with the old colors on the celiac.com part. Okay, I'm picky ...

After having more time to look at the board changes ... the navy would look fine if the top part that says Celiac.com was changed to coordinate.

I still don't like the gray buttons.

But I do like the way the new little suitcase thingies look and the way the emoticons show the ones you use the most.

The type is harder to read though.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who is not a huge fan of the new colour scheme here.

(and I have to apologize to almost everyone [exceot maybe nikki] for the spelling of the word colour)

Some of us kept the proper spelling :P

Hi Ryan!!

I missed saying this yesterday. It's always good to see you. Come by more often. :)

Hey Ryan- Good to "see" you!

Job history (good word usage)

My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. I

couldn't concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so

they gave me the ax.

After that, I tried to be a Tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it, mainly be

cause it was a sew-sew job.

Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.

Then, I tried to be a Chef - figured it would add a little spice to my life,

but I just didn't have the thyme.

I attempted to be a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it I couldn't cut the

mustard.

My best job was a Musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.

I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but I didn't have any patience.

Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. I tried but I just didn't fit in.

I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net

income.

I managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but the

work was just too draining.

So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I wasn't fit for the

job.

After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a

Historian - until I realized there was no future in it.

My last job was working in Starbucks, but I eventually quit because it was

always the same old grind.

So, I tried Retirement and, you know what? I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

A man walks into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear.

"What's the matter with me?" he asks the doctor.

The doctor replies, "You're not eating properly."

      Dried Chickpeas

      Hello, @Aretaeus Cappadocia, My favorite source of B12 is liver. 😺 I react to nutritional yeast the same way as if I were glutened. Casein, a protein in dairy, and nutritional yeast have protein segments that match certain antigenic protein segments in gluten. The proteins in rice, corn (maize), and chicken meat have them as well. Some pe...

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      HLA testing can definitely be confusing. Classic celiac disease risk is most strongly associated with having the full HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 heterodimer, which requires specific DQA1 and DQB1 genes working together. Your report shows you are negative for the common DQ2 and DQ8 combinations, but positive for DQB102, which is one component of the DQ2 pair. On its...

      Dried Chickpeas

      I agree with your post and have had similar experiences. I'm commenting to add the suggestion of also using nutritional yeast as a supplement. It's a rich source of B vitamins and other nutrients, and some brands are further supplemented with additional B12. I sprinkle a modest amount in a variety of savory recipes.

      Hello, @Aretaeus Cappadocia, My favorite source of B12 is liver.  😺 I react to nutritional yeast the same way as if I were glutened.  Casein, a protein in dairy, and nutritional yeast have protein segments that match certain antigenic protein segments in gluten.  The proteins in rice, corn (maize), and chicken meat have them as well.   Some people with Celiac might tolerate them without a problem, but I need to avoid them.  For those still having symptoms, cutting these out of our diet may improve symptoms.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ainsleydale1700! First, it is very unlikely, given your genetic results, that you have celiac disease. But it is not a slam dunk. Second, there are some other reasons besides having celiac disease that your blood antibody testing was positive. There are some diseases, some medications and even (for some people) some foods (dairy, the protein "casein") that can cause elevated celiac blood antibody test scores. Usually, the other causes don't produce marginally high test scores and not super high ones. Having said that, by far, the most common reason for elevated tTG-IGA celiac antibody test scores (this is the most common test ordered by doctors when checking for celiac disease) is celiac disease itself. Please post back and list all celiac blood antibody tests that were done with their scores and with their reference ranges. Without the reference ranges for negative vs. positive we can't tell much because they vary from lab to lab. Third, and this is an terrible bum steer by your doc, for the biopsy results to be valid, you need to have been eating generous amounts of gluten up to the day of the procedure for several weeks.  Having said all that, it sounds most likely that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. The two share many common symptoms but NCGS is not autoimmune in nature and doesn't damage the lining of the small bowel. What symptoms do you have? Do you have any blood work that is out of norm like iron deficiency that would suggest celiac disease?

      HLA testing can definitely be confusing. Classic celiac disease risk is most strongly associated with having the full HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 heterodimer, which requires specific DQA1 and DQB1 genes working together. Your report shows you are negative for the common DQ2 and DQ8 combinations, but positive for DQB102, which is one component of the DQ2 pair. On its own, DQB102 does not usually form the full DQ2 molecule most strongly linked to celiac disease, which is likely why your doctor said you do not carry the typical “celiac genes.” However, genetics are only part of the picture. A negative gene test makes celiac disease much less likely, but not absolutely impossible in rare cases. More importantly, both antibody testing and biopsy are only reliable when someone is actively eating gluten; being gluten-free for four years before testing can cause both bloodwork and intestinal biopsy to appear falsely negative. Given your positive antibodies and ongoing symptoms, it may be reasonable to seek clarification from a gastroenterologist experienced in celiac disease about whether proper gluten exposure was done before testing and whether additional evaluation is needed.
