Can't decide, is this like when we think we have two heads? Is everyone staring ?

Or is it an add for a service where someone dressed as a gorilla stands behind you as you order making sure the staff don't forget?

Looks like a gorilla in a wedding dress with an innocent bystander.

It is, the gorilla is advertsing for a gluten-free resto.... I just thought it was funny... I sometimes feel like I have someone dressed outrageously stood behind me when I'm explaining to waiters ... and everyone is suddenly staring ....

I couldn't either. Perhaps the gorilla was giving her a hint. I wish he'd come stand outside a restaurant or two here, I miss going out to eat.

Yes! I need the sign-carrying gorilla :lol:

My "gluten spiel" is usually met with a deer in the headlight look. That might just snap them out of it :D

Although, I would think I died and went to heaven if I was walking down the street, and anyone was standing there holding a sign for a gluten-free restaurant! :rolleyes:

Its a long story, the short answer is in my profile.....

I joined the group simply because I got hundreds of invites... silly really bowing to peer pressure but its kinda flattering...

Anyway I just accepted an "invite" and thought little of it until some script banned me for not inviting enough other people to the group! Personally I find that kind of activity a bit viral... its like pyramid marketing... so I thought nothing of it but it was damned hard work deleting all my photo's because you can't just use the group "delete my photos from this group" type tools...

So I mailed the admin asking him to remove all my photo's and he just said tough... you can rejoin if you invite X amount of people? He/she presumably gets a lot :D read the link to see how the admin delights in suspending people ....

Open Original Shared Link

So I just stopped but I was getting 30-50 inivtations a day .... to join the same group I got suspended from for not hassling others as they hassled me... and it was taking me half an hour a day to delete the damned invites... so I changed my name to reflect this...

Beleive it or not I still get a few invitations but this is diminishing as I just block anyone from that group commenting on my photo's.

It makes life easier, they used to send me mails asking how I did this or that... and I just used to reply thay until they quit the group they would be blocked... now I just block them forever.... I don't need that group, I have plenty of photo's in explore top 500 at any one time and a whole load of people seem to love my photo's...

Steve,

I certainly enjoyed your photos--both these and some I'd seen previously. I also wondered about the "ban", so I'm glad Nikki asked :D:ph34r:

That group sounds like a real hassle--I think you were better off being banned!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.
