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.

Yeah, and what's with the new colors?

jerseyangel Proficient

Scott upgraded the board yesterday ;)

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Um, Susie doesn't like upgrades.......and yes, me smilies are all moved around....colors are weird......

:unsure:

why oh why oh why does he keep changing it on us....doesn't he understand that we can be a brain-fogged and confused lot? :P

Carla doesn't either ... colors are all wrong ... I think the type is different, too, but not sure.

jerseyangel Proficient

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 ...

As my sister says, "We fear change!" :ph34r:

CarlaB Enthusiast

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

Ryan!!! :D

Long time no see! How is everything? Glad you popped in!

We do indeed :unsure:

No, me neither.

Glad you said that Carla, I'm really struggling (poor old girl) ....and had to put my glasses on.

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."

      Thanks for your reply Scott! A long time ago I realized I didn’t fit neatly into uncomplicated celiac disease. Over the years I’ve been diagnosed and treated for SIBO, pancreatic insufficiency and diagnosed with Stage 2 liver fibrosis. I think all the complications occurred because of the refractory celiac disease. When I hit menopause my gut issues seemed to calm down and because I was stable I made the mistake of not following up with my gastroenterologist. Then other autoimmune problems flared and I tried the methotrexate. It worked like a charm for my skin condition… then my sigmoid colon ruptured. Strange but my autoimmune skin condition remains in remission after 6 months off the medication. We have a very long waiting list to get back into see my GI doctor… I was an emergency referral but am still waiting 6 months after the perforation. I need more surgery to fix a fistula that has formed and to reconnect my colon… I have a colostomy at present. I became a dietitian who specializes in bowel diseases but have never met anyone who’s had so many complications with celiac disease. I have a brother and son who also have been diagnosed. My mother had 4 autoimmune diseases including a vasculitis that eventually resulted in her death and it was my father who had the HLA DQ2 gene. Think I inherited some tendencies from each of them. Thanks again for your response… it feels a little lonely dealing with GI issues when I work so hard to remain gluten free.

      Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction because your body is no longer accustomed to exposure. Many people report significant symptoms after accidental ingestion, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, or flu-like feelings. You’re not alone in that experience. It may help to be especially cautious with salad dressings, chips, sauces, and restaurant foods, where malt vinegar is sometimes used.

      A diagnosis of Refractory Celiac Disease Type 2 is a lot to absorb, especially if you feel like the severity wasn’t clearly communicated earlier. It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination with hematology because of the immune cell changes involved. Focusing on nutrition is absolutely important — many people benefit from working with a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease to help address malabsorption, weight loss, and vitamin or mineral deficiencies. You’re doing the right thing by seeking information and support. Make sure you feel comfortable asking your care team direct questions about your biopsy results, treatment plan, and monitoring strategy — you deserve clarity and a coordinated approach.

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 mg weekly is extremely uncommon. In people with celiac disease — especially refractory celiac — there can already be underlying intestinal inflammation or altered mucosal integrity, which might theoretically increase vulnerability, but there isn’t strong published evidence clearly linking stable celiac disease to a markedly higher risk of methotrexate-related bowel perforation. Other factors such as concurrent inflammation, vascular compromise, infection, steroid use, or microscopic colitis may also contribute. It would be reasonable to review the case with a gastroenterologist familiar with refractory celiac and possibly a rheumatologist, and to report the event as a potential adverse drug reaction. I’d also be very interested to hear if others in the community have had similar experiences.
