Thanks Robbin. :)

I guess I can move my motherly henliness over here. Is henliness a word? :blink:

Night Celia.

I am totally laughing at you all! I was just gone a few hours and had like 7 pages to catch up on. Wait, why did we let a 31 year old man post that many times on our thread? Oh well, at least he's entertaining. I do love his son's curly red hair...

Oogling, googling, the pill, haircuts, Gray's anatomy, square pegs, Fabio (he's just NOT my type - give me the construction worker with 2 days of manly stubble any day), henliness... You're all too funny. And I'm glad that "ish" has caught on!

I'm having a fun-ish time reading the 40-ish thread with all the Celiac-ish cool girls.

Patti, the last thing I think of when I think of you is ancient :) Oh-my little "sorbet" recipe is under the OMG thread...posted yesterday. I made a double batch last night, I'm so addicted.

So I definitely fell asleep in the middle of ER!

Robbin, I hope you are feeling better!

Oh, I see how it is.

I go away and now you're INVITING men over here :(

So what you're really saying is that you missed me? :huh:

I'm with V'scope on not much embarassing me. I've had to make the dreaded trip to the drugstore more than once. No matter how much other stuff you buy to hide the fact your buying something with wings that doesn't fly, it always seems like the flightless pad "always" (is that where they get the name?) requires a price check :blink:

Uh, that's what the self check out is for!!

My 18 year old daughter was staying at my dad's on an unfortunate day. He's a weighlifter and was in the middle of his workout when she went to him and said, "Grandpa, can you take me to the grocery?" Well, being the dad of three girls, he asked if she needed to go right now, she said yes. He sat out in the car when she went in, then when she finally came out he asked, "So, having girl problems?" Poor Morgan.

You'll have to ask Robbin ... it's a great picture of his hair, but she was talking more along the lines of a sculpted chest and arms .... really can't see that in the picture ... when she gets back from the grocery, we'll ask.

New topic... :o:lol: what color nail polish do you all wear??

OOO, nailpolish! (I hope you all don't mind if I jump in!) I go with all different colors, BUT my toes and hands always match...a little Type A!! :D

Right now I have a pink cast on my left hand (I tore a ligament in my wrist--ouch!) and my nails have always been some shade of pink or a french manicure for the past few weeks so I don't clash with my cast. Did I mention that I'm a little Type A about certain things??!! :lol:

I'm back from the new salon. I LOVE it there :wub: The woman who did my hair is (get this) named Patti AND has naturally curly hair! And did my hair in a private room :o:rolleyes:

I told her I was wanting to grow it out a little, and she shaped it really well. I did end up having the back cut so it would grow out more evenly.

Anyway, her hair was shoulder-length and very healthy looking and shiny. I would have never known it was naturally curly. She straightens it herself, and I made another appt. for next Wednesday to have her straighten mine.

She had also heard of Celiac, and took time with me to read labels on the products she had there. Some I could use, some not, of course.

I would have posted a picture of the new 'do, but my husband is out of town with the digital camera--he'll be back tomorrow. :D

Are you going to have it permanently straightened? Can't wait to see a pic!!

Mine is curly, but I have a ceramic straightening iron that works wonders. My stylist blew it dry, then used hot rollers (my avatar pic).

Yes, permanently straightened. Today, she blew it out and used the ceramic iron--the difference will be that the humidity won't affect it--once I blow it dry, it will stay smooth until I wash it again.

Cool. My mom used to do that back in the 60's. I can't do such a thing ... hair already too damaged!! I seldom straighten it, I usually just get out of the shower and let it air dry, then I mess with my bangs a little and spray it a lot, which keeps it from looking too fluffy.

Mine actually seldom looks like it does in the picture.

My hair is actually in very good condition now--that's why I even considered it. She said I'll only need touch-ups about every 4 months or so and those will only be on the new growth--the rest of the hair will only have been processed once. It's also very important to not let the solution touch the scalp itself.

I like your hair both ways--it's nice to be able to do both when you want.

Morning everyone!

Welcome to the thread Kristy! :D

Welcome back Richard. :P

Patti, can't wait to see your picture. :) Oh, and you aren't ancient.

Armetta, be sure to send yours to Celia so she can put it up. :)

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
