How You Choose Your Login Name

little d Enthusiast

I just thought that this would be fun. How did you choose your login name.

I chose my login name because couldn't think of anything and thought to use my nickname that my coworkers gave me because we have another Donna who is a nurse and is taller 5'8" and maybe 60lbs heavier than me. I am 4'11" and at the time 150lbs so I got little d and she got big D

Guhlia Rising Star

Mine is my last name, modified... Guhl... Changed to Guhlia thanks to the Wedding Singer (Julia Guhlia). Not that my name is Julia... :)

SunnyDyRain Enthusiast

My nickname is an existng one I used on other sites. The first time I used it, I was depressed and felt like I ruined every one's good time. So I tried SunnyDayRain, but that was taken so I took SunnyDyRain. :)

Ursa Major Collaborator

My name is Latin for she-bear, so I chose (or I should say, Fiddle Faddle suggested) the star formation Ursa Major when I changed my login name for safety reasons (which is why I won't mention my real name, even though even people who don't know it should be able to guess). So, please don't mention it, since then this post will pop up in Google when putting in my name along with celiac, because it isn't that common.

aikiducky Apprentice

I do aikido, and I used to kinda follow my first aikido teacher around and kwak like a duckling... :lol: obviously I was a bit enthusiastic in the beginning... that was almost 8 years ago so I've kinda calmed down but then I started collecting duck toys and stuff for a while. I've stopped now because in don't really want a house full of ducks so please don't send me any! :ph34r: I still have one fluffy yellow duck that my sister gave me one Christmas though, she made a little black belt for it and a tiny little wooden sword. :)

wowzer Community Regular

My original name from euchre at Playsite. My stepfather thought up the name.

VegasCeliacBuckeye Collaborator

Growing up I was a HUGE John Elway fan (he played for the Denver Broncos - hence, bronco) - however, I am actually a die hard Bengals and Buckeyes fan

Bux = Bucks = short for Buckeyes

Bronco Bux

:)

I should be Bengalbux or Elwaybux since I am not a Bronco fan, but what do you do?

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I choose mine because my name is Amanda but when I worked in daycare, my toddlers used to say Manda instead of saying Amanda. I have very blue eyes, and dark hair. So I came up with Blueeyedmanda.

It describes me very well.

Kyalesyin Apprentice

I used my first name. It means 'serenity'.

TinkerbellSwt Collaborator

My name is pretty obvious, at least the first half, Tinkerbell. I am a huge Disney fan and my cats name is Tinkerbell. The Swt is short for Sweetie, my dog that I had to give away, (due to safety issues with my son) My name honors my pets!

Generic Apprentice

I changed mine also due to safety reasons, my ex-b/f was (or still is) stalking me on the internet. Mine used to be my name with my old companies name.

Now it is a generic name-litteraly.

Lisa Mentor

My turn,

When my first was born, she became my "sweet baby goose", with number 2, I had geese. Hubby started to call me Momma Goose. There ya have it.

little-c Contributor

My name is an reference to celiac disease. I went through three months of testing for various issues when they ultimately found celiac. At the same time I was also going through repeat mammograms and a breast cancer biopsy (testing for the 'big C'.) Had no clue they would ultimately find celiac, so I coined it 'little c.' So far, no 'big C' in my list of maladies!

aikiducky Apprentice

We have a "little d" and a "little c", cute. :) I wonder if there's a "little a" and a "little b" lurking as well who just haven't posted anything? :)

Little c, I like the motto in your sig... :)

Pauliina

not going to rename myself little p... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I used my first name. It means 'serenity'.

How do you pronounce it?

I have two boys. That means "lack of serenity".

Piccolo Apprentice

I just had to ad my reply here. I am a musician that plays the flute and piccolo thus the name. :rolleyes:

Lack of Serenity? Hmmm... that might be a good one when we have kids....

Proper pronounciation is kyal-es-yin. The first y is almost silent, heaviest emphasis goes on the es and the yin is short to the point of almost sounding like 'yun'.

There was a point in my life where I really hated that name.

tarnalberry Community Regular

mine is a concatenation of my names, in much the same way that a unix admin would assign a login. :P

Kaycee Collaborator

My name is Catherine and as you can see, it starts with a C. But my mum who is in denial about her ever possibly having any coeliac symptoms, at times can't remember whether my name begins with a C or a K, so in one letter from my mother I get Katherine on the envelope and in the letter itself, I get my name written as Catherine. This supposedly is written on the same day! I don't know what gives, but she did Christian me! So in recognition of this I go with Kaycee. I love my mother dearly and wouldn't have it any different.

Cathy

hathor Contributor

Hathor was the ancient Egyptian goddess of motherhood, alcohol & war (never quite sure of the proper order :lol: ) I always liked that combination. I'm a big Egyptophile. My daughter is actually an Egyptology major, which I now tell myself I should have had!

LoveBeingATwin Enthusiast

being an idential twin is the best thing in the world. :)

psawyer Proficient

Mine is based on the same idea as Tiffany's; I just have a much shorter name than she does. It's my first initial followed by my surname. Obviously, I'm not terribly worried about somebody guessing my complete name. I used it as an ID on computers long before the internet. If you google it, you will get buried by hits about a retired history professor in England. No relation.

      Thank you for the information ill will definitely bring it into practice .

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
