I am so sick to my stomach right now. Yesterday I noticed that my wedding ring was missing AFTER I did stuff like garden, clean dog puke up and chores around the house. I am not sure where it's at. I went through all the weeds by hand, fortunatly they are still in the garden. I went through the trash by hand four times. I went so far as to get my father in laws medal detector, but still no luck. I don't even know where to begin. I told hubby not to throw anything out or do anything different until I find it. I think it may haven fallen off when I took my gloves off. Wish me luck. I hope I find it.

I'm sooo sorry! This is probably silly question, but did you look INSIDE the glove? I've actually had that happen with my winter gloves.

Sorry to hear about your wedding ring. I too have lost my ring in my gloves. I hope it turns up. The first gift my fiance gave me was this very nice diamond heart necklace. It fell off the chain at the hospital I worked at 3 years ago. I have not found it since. I cried while I searched for it. He did buy another almost alike to that for christmas that year. I appreciated the kindness, but I long for the original. It had memories with it that cannot be replaced.

Good Luck, I hope you find it soon. I'm sure you have already done this at least 15 times, but take a deep breath, clear your mind & then look in the first place that you thought it might be, but didn't find it when you looked the first time - pockets? maybe you took it off sub-consciously to keep it safe? I lost mine while gardening. I looked through a bunch of pots, all over my garden, pretty much tore up my patio / gardens. After about 3 hours of dumping out trash cans, pots, checking gloves, I sat down with that first giant pot that my mind was telling me was the most likely culprit - again - slowly & methodically. That was where it was. I know how heart-breaking it is - Good luck again !

Ooh, so sorry to hear you lost your ring, I hope you find it. :(

I lost my wedding ring at the dojo once, we have a policy of no jewellery of any kind on the mat (for safety reasons), and I'd forgotten to take it off in the dressing room. So I put the ring on a window sill and forgot it there, and later it wasn't there any more! :o

My husband was understandably a little bit upset about this, but when I got an exact replica for my birthday I knew he'd forgiven me... :wub:

The funny thing is, half a year later someone found the ring! Someone had just put it on an even higher windowsill, and it had been lying there all the time. So now I have two. :)

I feel very bad hearing this news. I lost my husband's NAVY ring prior to our engagement. I was in ladies room and I don't recall if I took it off and placed it on counter or if I had it off and was drying my hands with papertowel and tossed it out with the paper towel; but I lost it and cried my eyes out ever since...if I think about it long enough I will start to cry again and I lost it in 1977! Of course it never surfaced even after I posted a $25 reward for it. It was irreplaceable...as it was issued for his year/class only.

:) I am so happy! I found my wedding ring last night. I unearthed it last night with a rake. It was where I new I lost it, but It took forever to finally find it. It had been missing since last week. This last week was really hard for me. I lost my ring and then the very next day my dad was in ICU for three days. My dad is finally out of the hospital and doing well. Finding my ring was like the icing on the cake. I never missed something so much in my life.

Awesome you found the ring, glad to hear your dad is home and doing much better. My mom was so ill last week, I didn't know what we would do so I understood how you are feeling.

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to ...

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
