My dd wants some bathroom scales. I was wondering what is the best kind/brand to buy and what is the worst? I have never bought any before. She likes to weigh herself everyday. Thanks for your input!

I have one that measures body fat percentage. If mine dips below a certain percentage my scale refuses to weigh me! :angry:

I have the Tanita body fat scale. It measures to the nearest 1/2 pound. I don't use the body fat part, it just depresses me! :rolleyes:

Consider going to your library & checking the consumer reports index - they generally have good advice.

Last time I bought a scale was many years ago (10? 12?), and at the time some popular brands were accurate to within 10%, others within 1lb.

10% is almost 20 lbs for my husband's weight, so how is that helpful!?!

I chose one of the 1lb variance ones. The prices weren't even that different!

Mine says that I'm 151.4 lbs. It's a digital I bought at Walmart. Scales are like horoscopes, fun to read but not to be taken to seriously!

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
