I got my Celiac bracelets! They're green and pretty cool. I'm going to start passing them out today at school. Only giving em to people that'll wear them, but I already got about 6 people that say they will. :)

I didn't know they have a celiac disease awareness month! Well, there's our excuse to be chatty about it without feeling pushy.

You can also buy them from the University of Chicago or from Melonie (head of the yahoo group, Silly Yaks, that puts out the gluten-free restaurant list).

Most people seem to get them from the first one, though I've seen a few with the Chicago ones. The difference... Maryland ones are: Making Tracks for Celiacs and then on the other side it says CFCR (meaning center for celiac research). The chicago ones say Gluten-Free, or something to the point like that, as do Melonie's.

Thank you everyone for the info. I just emailed them. Have a nice Holiday.

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.

      @Scott Adams  Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia?  I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed.  I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

      Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:

      That's too bad--this recent topic might be helpful:

      I had double hernia laparoscopic surgery two months go to repair both an Inguinal hernia (a recent home project injury) and an umbilical hernia (which I had for many years, but fixing it at the same time made sense), and am now more or less fully recovered. Recently on the forum someone mentioned the idea of hernia induced IBS, which I now believe was a real for me, but was a fairly minor issue overall, which got worse after getting the more recent Inguinal hernia. My doctor never mentioned this as a possibility, even though I directly asked him about it during my office visit: Me "can my hernias cause any digestive issues?" My doctor: "No, I doubt that." I still need to learn more about hernia induced IBS, but I realize now that I might have been affected by this to some degree in for a while.
