Vegas is on, BABY!!!!!!!

Guess the airline will not have any excitement -- as in, "Um excuse me, but if I suddenly lose consciousness, could you please make sure I get to a hospital as soon as we land. I have an aneurysm."

Sick humor, yes, but hey, I was talking to Karen. And, as you may very well remember, when she and I get together, well, the humor goes straight to he**.

I have been told not to post links to my personal site which is mostly just a collection of photos of me and my family. Very dangerous stuff! Must be outlawed! LOL

I'll email it to you.

Nope, its in the forum rules and I have been personally contacted by Scott himself about it. No big deal to me. Its his house, I try to play by his rules no matter how silly.

Yes it is there, but I was referring to the extremely evil and unthinkable act of... do I dare even speak it? posting a link in response to a question! OMG HOW EVIL!

LOL :) Sorry, sometimes I really need to just go to bed instead of check this thread :)

Posting a link in response to a request is a non issue, or an informative link is always welcome. As far as I know you are free to do that. People with personal websites and web pages are encouraged to post them on their personal profile page.

:ph34r: don't shoot the messenger.

This is true. You can, however, put a link in the "Personal Statement" area of your profile page. Not that I'm suggesting that you should look at Vincent's profile, or Nini's, or flagbabyds, or broncobux, or anyone else's to see if they've got something interesting going on offsite.

This is something I really wish Scott would change, but a lot of people have brought it up to him with no results. Other than that, it's a great website and an amazing board.

Hey, I think we're losing sight of the things that really matter here! I mean, obviously... what are you going to do with your hair now? I do think this is worth some black and pink stripes! :)

Speaking of stirring things up... in Dutch, a friendly way to sign a letter is "met vriendelijke groeten" which word by word translates as "with friendly greetings". If you (completely by accident) ;) add just one letter it becomes "met vriendelijke groenten" = "with friendly vegetables"....

I'm just waiting for the perfect letter to put that in... maybe the next time I have to contact the tax people....I'd just love to know if anyone would even notice. :)

Check my profile. I do not need ANOTHER letter fro Scott crying about the great evil of my posting a link to photos... :D

And I am NOT allowed to post links to information either, IF I created or participate on the site that hosts said information. Yes I have been told that by Scott too. Just let it go, its his house, his rules. For the most part the site works....

Yep. I guess I never told that story here... fell on very hard times (lost my job, no medical insurance, etc..) was offered a job in Viriginia (I lived in TN) on the condition I cut my hair, at a place I WANTED to work, (Liberty University), with a bit low pay, but great perks/benies, so it came down to "have a place to live and eat" or "have long hair", food won out! LOL

I can always grow it back later if/when I move on. :)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
