I stole this from the 'what do you do' thread. lol It was mentioned so I want to make one up...

Here is the handshake... oh well, won't work. I'll change it later.

Common gluten eaters have handshakes. Perhaps we should have something else?

Maybe a secret code phrase:

1st person: " the wheat grows on the plain."

2nd: but the pain it causes, is not plain.

Or perhaps a secret signal.

One light in the watch tower if by land and 2 if by sea. Wait....wrong signal

What about the ASL for gluten-free?

Maybe we all wear a red flower behind our ear?

Yes, yes... we should have a bunch of secret signals.... 1st red flower behind left ear, 2nd we must cough into our right hand that is in the 'g' ASL shape, 3rd with the left hand we brush the (gluten) crumbs off our front... 4th say "The pain in Maine is in the whole wheat pane." Yes, yes... we must buy trench coats too..... and have sunglasses.

I forgot... there should be a burp or fart in there too... no, I guess not. That would be a dead give-away. Okay, secret names.... hey, nfffc (natural flavors from foreign countries), this is fvbnpbw (flat villi but no postive blood work). Not sure yet.. I want to think about this. I want a COOL secret name.

I'm so excited, I just bought a cute trench coat. Now I'm just waiting on warm enough weather to wear it!

Hey, now.. . . ....don't be just carelessly employing vowels, as they cost money.

Um, as with Wheel of Fortune. . . . ....one always has to buy vowels, no?....

Secret spy names. . . .. .....I believe I would like to be called Ms. Maltodextrin. This adds a particular type of clandestine confusion and intrigue - - is she or is she not gluten-free?.. . . .... .from which country did she originate?....

I was also thinking about the name that my brother named his garage band back in the early eighties, and a moniker that would really work here. I could be FC.

Fecal Matter.

Man, this would be a terrific name for a racehorse. "Aaaaaaaaaand they're coming around the outside - - ahead by two lengths, IT'S FECAL MATTER -- they're now in the final turn .. ....""

Like the secret ways to hide gluten in foods?

I'm so excited, I just bought a cute trench coat.

I would like to suggest that we do just the opposite - - no secret handshakes nor code words. We need to put ourselves right out there and scream of all things gastrointestinal. Let us all create and wear costumes. I am going to make a huge, paper mache and plastic duodenum that I can walk about in.

Then everyone will start asking questions about celiac, dammit!! And it will ALL be worth it. .. . ..

:huh:

:lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: This is too good!! Okay.. I'll buy a vowel or 2..

No, I'm not fvbnpbw.. no no I'm GIANT! (Hear me FART!) Gluten Intolerant And NO TESTING!!

YES!! I'm all for the costumes.. I can do a huge paper mache POO ... and have a fart pillow inside. We have a huge Goose Festival here at the end of Sept. (we're on the Canada goose flyway) and it would be a great time to walk around in a big Poo costume and answer questions... but do I have the guts??? :lol: Heck of an idea..!

NO MORE HIDING!!!

No, no, no!! No more secrets.. . . ..No more back-of-the-medical-textbook....no more pathetic obscurity.....

Righto!

I smell a parade... . . .....

...And I'll be the Marshall, the big duodenum leading the masses with a stiff endoscope hose as my baton.......

There must be music, and floats... . .......ahh, another parade.....! B)

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

:lol::lol:

One of my favourite movies.

Don't let Emily be the grand marshall of the parade . . . last time she was in charge, the police were called, wild animals stampeded, and David Hasselhoff showed up and made a complete fool of himself.

Wow! Look at everything that happens when I go skiing. Glad to see you can continue the psilliness without me.

When we have the parade, be careful Charlie Sheen doesn't show up. He seems to be everywhere right now. Maybe he is one of us. He spews filthy potty words from his mouth and definitely has some brain fog.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
