I love my plants dealry but can't figure out what they need or want. There are very green and look great, however some of there leaves have yellow tips or are turning yellow. What does this mean? Is it from being over waterd, lack of water or do they need fertlizer? I would love any suggestions. My poor plants need it. ;) Thanks!

are they getting to much sun? if they are wilting this can be from overwatering, or under, your soil should be damp but not mucky. are they indoor or outdoor plants. more details would be great.

my plant at home that is having the problem is a lily plant. Its not in direct sun, but has access to light. I water them once a week, not excessivley though. The liliy actually has bloomed, its just the tips of the leaves turn yellow. I have an office plant that is doing the same. It doesn't flower, but it doesn't like the direct light either. Its called a Ficus Bonsai. Not sure what to do.

I would encourage you to take pictures or the plant to a local nursery for expert visual-based advice. Discoloring in the tips suggests salt to me (it first manifests in the leaf tips) but it's usually more of a 'burn' than yellowing.

Depending on how yellow the tips are, it can be within the norm for a lilly. If it is a true lilly, such as a casablanca, stargazer or asiatic, they tend to do that, for whatever reason. If it is a "tiger" lilly (the really small ones) then there is a problem.

The person on this board that knows THE MOST about plants is Shirley! She can tell you about almost any plant there is. Jen and I depended upon her advice for the entire growing season two years ago!!

I'll try to remember her board name -- will contact a few people to find out, and you can PM her. She is AMAZING!!

Hi,

Depending on the type of Lily, it will most likely go into dormancy for the winter. If it's a Stargazer bulb, for instance, it will most likely begin to yellow and then will look like it's dying. Don't cut it ! Let the leaves die off. This is important for photosynthesis and a nice plant next year. This is a good time for fertilizer. Then, let the stem(s) die off without assistance by you. In October or so, provided that it totally dies off, you may be able to tug the stem out. It kind of depends on your climate how you choose to deal with the bulb or not come winter. Regardless, it should pop up again in the Spring.

Ours are only beginning to open the flowers now (specifically Stargazers)

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis Cleared up With EpiPen, etc.

      I had to rush to the hospital last week due to anaphylactic shock from taking a dose of an antibiotic. Received EpiPen, steroids, antihistamines, zofran (all injected/IV). When I woke up the next day, ALL of the rashes I've had that started since going gluten free were cleared up. EVEN THE dermatitis herpetiformis was gone. Has anyone else experienced this...

      Exactly! Negative genetics can rule out celiac disease with close to 100% certainty. It takes tTg antibody testing and biopsy confirm the diagnosis in a genetically susceptible individual.

      Test interpretations

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population...

      Have you had celiac genetic risk testing? A celiac genetic test is accurate with or without gluten in your diet. If you don't carry the celiac risk genes you can effectively rule out celiac disease for life.

      How Social Media Algorithms Are Fueling Gluten Anxiety: TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram Trends

      Good, balanced analysis. I liked the comparison of the different platforms in this context. Fwiw, the same essay largely would work if you substitute any of many contemporary topics. As a moderator of this site, have you stepped back and considered how this site fits into this essay? Personally, I don't think I have enough visibility into the comments...

When I woke up the next day, ALL of the rashes I've had that started since going gluten free were cleared up. EVEN THE dermatitis herpetiformis was gone. Has anyone else experienced this or happen to know why that would happen? The meds they gave me were all meds that I've taken to try to resolve the rashes, but they never worked in pill form. I'm wondering if it the addition of the epi that helped, it if injected steroids and antihistamines were what did the job.

But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. It remains latent until triggered by some stress event which may or may not occur. So, there is a genetic component to celiac disease but there is also an epigenetic component.

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also high, which can sometimes affect how the other antibody tests behave. Another important factor is that you were reducing gluten before the test, which can lower antibody levels and make the results less reliable. Because of that, many doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten regularly for several weeks) before repeating blood tests or considering an endoscopy if symptoms and labs raise concern. It would be best to review these results with a gastroenterologist, who can interpret them in context and decide whether further testing is needed.
