I was thinking more along the lines of carrying him carefully into the Swiss Chalet up the road, asking for a table for two, and then placing Head Man on the chair opposite me. . . . .I could look at the menu, chatter away, order two small meals from the waitress, who would scurry away, eyes wide . . .. . . ....

I really do think I will put him in the passenger seat of my car. This way, the reactions I get from people will be at intersections and stop signs, from sidewalks and crosswalks . . . . ...just as they're leaning over, getting a good look, I'm off. :lol:

Hopefully, a cop would stop me for a routine seat-belt check. :lol:

In all pseriousness, though: WHERE IS HEAD MAN AVATAR??

I could put up his pic again.....however, if it were to disappear once more, I think I might just lose my mind. . . . .....

:huh:

:lol:

Em, if you take him to the restaurant, you're gonna have to dress him . . . no shirt, no service. Also, I'm pretty sure Sam'll use that "must have left my wallet in my other pants" routine and stiff you on the bill.

Ahhhhhh, yes..........no man boobs allowed. :lol:

But seriously folks.......

Did noone else notice that he disappeared immediately after Em researched Sam Hill?

I do believe we were getting too close.........

The legendary, and celiac lothario, Colonel Sam Hill, was immortalized for his exploits with the creation of the bust. He met an untimely death, most likely a jealous husband force fed him a ton of gluten. He passed out under a red maple tree, where he was found by a singing celiac wolf named Oliver who, unfortunately, ate poor Sam. It made Oliver extremely ill, which resulted in Sam being shat off a cliff....... and his spirit has inhabited the bust ever since.

.......until Em took his picture, at which time his spirit, enjoying the company of fellow gluten-haters, took up residence in the av.

Now he is wandering Sillifeld, and possibly out there as well, wreaking havoc amongst unsuspecting celiac posters. But have no fear.....Super Weezel and her super sniffer, which she has thoroughly cleansed with her neti pot, are hot on his trail. No trash can will be left unturned.....no gluten-free beans will be left uneaten, even if they are no longer hot.....cool beans are fine with her.

I believe that this evasive lothario knows the true identity of Llama lady.

Soooo.....the question remains.....

........where is Sam Hill?

curlyfries Contributor

Sssshhhhhh..........no sudden moves........

Has anyone noticed the face over my head????? :o

Nevermind........he has hands......false alarm.

Crap, 'tis true....I'd hafta dress him..... . . mygawd, we're getting back to the heinous, exhausting work of having a toddler - - carting him around, dressing and undressing him, cleaning him up. . . ...And, just like a toddler, he'd have to be strapped into that grocery cart, as he'd fall out otherwise....

For gawd's sake, I think I'm a little old fer this.

He needs some arms, fer godsake!! To pay his bills, put on his shirt and grab his wallet. . . ....

A forum member who shall remain nameless saw Man Head on his/her television screen while watching the 6 o'clock news. He just appeared, floating . . .. ....

Another member spotted him, suddenly, on a youtube clip this afternoon - - won't tell me any more.. . .again, floating. . . ....

Several members, while posting, have hit the smiley emoticon, or the angry one, and a little picture of Man Head has appeared.

It's getting bigger than any of us could imagine. . . . . ..

Ok . . . a little off topic now . . . I'm gonna talk about me maple. It looks good in the fall but its got some problems . . . scale (bugs). Lots of spraying on our part but not enough and many neighbors around have the same problems so unless we all start spraying at the same time every two weeks, we're just gonna keep infesting each other. I have decided in the spring to buy my maple some ladybugs. Twas recommended by one of the nurseries . . . good bugs to eat the bad bugs and they're suppose to stick around as long as there is a food supply . . . and I don't mind if they eat out at the neighboUrs.

Alrighty then . . . back to your regularly scheduled programme.

      @Manaan2,  I'm so happy to hear you're going to try thiamine and magnesium!  Do let us know the results!   You may want to add a B 50 Complex with two meals of the day to help boost absorption.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins which are all water soluble.   When supplementing magnesium, make sure to get sufficient calcium.  Calcium and magnesium need to be kept in balance.  If you choose a calcium supplement, take two hours apart from magnesium as they compete for absorption.  Take Calcium with Vitamin D.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.   For pain, I use a combination of thiamine, B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6.  These three vitamins together have analgesic effects.  My preferred brand is "GSG 12X Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets".  Alinamin is another form of thiamine.  It really is excellent at relieving my back pain from crushed vertebrae without side effects and no grogginess.   Look into the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Duet (Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, a Celiac herself, developed it.)  It really helps heal the intestines, too.  It's like a vacation for the digestive system.  Add foods back gradually over several weeks after feeling better.   I'm so happy to have pointed the way on your journey!  Let us know how the journey progresses!

      @knitty kitty I can't thank you enough!  My husband and I already started looking into those supplements.  We definitely plan to give it a try.  We've been against the Miralax since it was originally advised by PCP, but because of the level of pain she experienced on a daily basis, we decided to try it.  We've made many attempts to gradually decrease but due to her pain and related symptoms, we've kept her on it while trying all sorts of other dietary adjustments pre and post diagnosis specific to food; so far none of those efforts have made a significant difference.  I will definitely share how she's doing along the way!

      Hi, I have recently embarked on the gluten-free journey. I have what to me seems like a somewhat confusing set of test results and symptoms. I have been impressed by the accumulated knowledge and thoughtfulness as I browse this forum, so I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone can offer any insight. I know there are many posts like this from new users, so I have tried to do my baseline research first and not ask super obvious questions.  I'm 43, overall very healthy. No history of gluten sensitivity or really any of the classic GI symptoms. About three years ago I started to experience intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe). The symptoms over time have become fairly significant, though not debilitating, I am able to exercise regularly and am fairly physically active, continue to perform well at work. But for example I have gone from someone who consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest inside at work in winter and get chills if the a/c even blows on me in summer. I get tired and lose energy even when getting decent amounts of sleep, and have to have my wife take over on long drives that I could previously handle with no problems. More generally when I am experiencing these symptoms they seem to crowd out space in my mind for focusing on my family, my hobbies/activities etc, I sort of withdraw into myself.   I happened to be experiencing these symptoms during an annual physical with my PCP a few years ago, he observed post nasal drip and suggested it was allergies and that I treat it with claritin. At first it seemed to respond to claritin (though not zyrtex), but over time I became unsatisfied with that answer. There didn't seem to be any seasonal rhyme or reason to my symptoms, and I felt like I was on an endless loop of taking claritin, then stopping, not being sure if it was even making a difference. I did eventually get allergy tests and found modest allergies to dust and pollen, which didn't feel like a smoking gun.  I then started seeing a natural medicine doctor who was much more willing to explore my symptoms via testing. The first thing that came back abnormal was elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies/TPOs, 137 IU/mL vs a reference range of <9. At the same time my thyroid panel showed normal thyroid hormone levels. So it appears my immune system is attacking my thyroid even though it is working fine. I got a thyroid ultrasound at the time, it was clear, but with some abnormalities such that they suggested I get is scanned again in a year. These are certainly risk factors for a thyroid autoimmune disease, though my thyroid seems to be working fine for now.  From here my doctor considered celiac due to the murky thyroid/celiac links, so we did a panel. Results were as follows: TT IGA <1 U/ml, TT IGG <1 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGA 24.6 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGG <1 U/ml, IGAs 170 mg/dL. Readings greater than 15 considered high by my lab for the first four, my IGAs are within reference range. So basically just the deamidated IGA popped, but my IGAs are normal. I also notice on the tests that my thyroglobulin was high, 86.7 ng/ml vs a range of 2.8 - 40.9.  My doctor suggested that it certainly wasn't conclusive for celiac, but it was possible, and likely that I have some sort of gluten sensitivity. She suggested going gluten free and seeing how I felt as opposed to doing a biopsy. The best theory I can come up with is perhaps I am a silent celiac or just have a gluten sensitivity that doesn't produce immediate GI symptoms, but is still doing damage and over time has caused leaky gut. So now gluten is getting into my blood, and my immune system is attacking it but also mistakingly attacking my thyroid.  So that's what I did, went gluten free in October. It's been about four months, and I am really not feeling any difference. I still get the same symptoms that come and go. My bowel movements may be a bit more regular, but it was never a major issue before so I would consider that a minor improvement. I know that it can take a while to see improvements, and I am going to remain gluten-free and see how I feel. But I am definitely questioning whether I really understand what is going on, and am open to any thoughts or suggestions from the forum. Sometimes I wish I just went ahead with the biopsy before going gluten-free. While I would certainly be down to start drinking IPAs again ahead of a biopsy, you know, for science, I feel like at this point I would be throwing away four months of work and am better off staying the course and seeing what happens. But I'm really not sure.  I know there is a lot of thyroid knowledge on these boards, along with the celiac expertise, so I'm curious if this resonates with anyone's experience. And I'm interested in what sort of timelines people have experienced in terms of feeling improvements for some of these non-GI symptoms like chills, SOB, brain fog etc. Thanks in advance.

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.
