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...

Sounds like a whole lotta hassle to me. :rolleyes:

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!

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
