    Thanks for the quick reply Scott but it seems to have sorted itself out all by itself Computers are evil!! (to me anyway )

    ARCHIVED Help!

    nikki-uk posted a topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    It doesn't happen everytime but when I click on a post it appears to come up with a blank screen (except for the Celiac.com heading) - but when I scroll down the thread is all squashed up on the left hand side??? It doesn't happen all the time...it seems to be random...and not on the same threads either.Sometimes they come up ok ( with full screen) but...

    Took me a while to figure that out too,- then I couldn't remember my email address as it's not one I usually use but I worked it out in the end! Does anyone know why when I clicked to go back to the previous page ( scary I know) to read yesterdays posts they come up far down the page all squashed up on the left hand side??

    My hubby has alway's felt the cold more than most - and I always thought it was because he had no 'meat on his bones' ! Since his dx of celiac disease (2 yrs ago) he's a good weight now but still frozen all the time when everyone else is ok. Funny thing is he always feels hot to touch (like a glowing fire!)- even though he feels cold.

    Hit the nail right on the head there Tom!! My hubby was seriously ill pre dx - and he can't afford to ever go back there

    Yes!, by definition celiac disease is villous atrophy of the small bowel...but gluten sensitivity can make you feel just as ill.

    ARCHIVED Celiac Sprue & Doctor Too!

    nikki-uk replied to RKB-MD's topic in Doctors

    I'm sure there are people on this board who don't have the 'main' genes for celiac disease but who are gluten sensitive that had neurological problems. I also think they have HLA DQ1 gene which seems to be associated with more of the neurological effects. I'm sure someone will chime in

    Just to add,- just because the Oats are English doesn't mean they are ok. I'm in the UK and neither my hubby or son have Oats (we have the same contamination risks as in the US) Laura's given you some great links and I reckon the 'oat debate' will rumble on!! It's a personal choice as to whether you would ever want to try them but for my hubby...

    Yeah kind of, but they are much friendlier (had a cup of tea) and they even found the xmas tree lights for me.

    Phew!! Just escaped from the cupboard under the stairs. I swear it's like a vortex in there with trees and tools and a whole race of people living in there Toilet seat horseshoe!!! EUWWW!! (They should wear gloves!! ) Yeah me too!! What kind of boss makes their employees work when you could be making members of celiac...

    It's a quaint English tradition handed down from generation to generation Must warn you Bev, I don't think they can grow trees in cupboards in Wales. I want a Morgan!!!! What?!!! You don't have cupboards??!! .....oh yeah, you have CLOSETS!! Maybe there are mojos hiding in your closets !! I shall try to explain...
  13. nikki-uk
    Yes!! (but not in size large luv! ) Hmmm,not sure.There are an awful lot of sheep though He has mojo???? : Clearly!!! Rate 1/10 Whereas in mojo ridden UK - Nikki spends too much time on computer instead of dragging xmas tree out of cupboard. Hi Julie!! Thanks for the laughs...
  14. nikki-uk
    EVIL MOJO !!!!

    Oh Patti, I'm so sorry Sending them good vibes across the miles.

    Parents are always hard to buy for aren't they?? When I asked my Mum + Dad what to get they say 'Oh don't worry about us'( ) Anyway - I ended up getting them a digital thermometer/barometer (my Mum's obsessed by how cold it is!) and I also got my Mum a new glass vase and Dad some wool socks (well at least he'll get use out of them! )

    Thanks Loraleena. I'm not sure what my hubby's platelet numbers were but the doc said (other than the scan) he will just see him again in January to keep an eye on his levels.I don't think they can be that bad as he doesn't even seem to have any bruises! I just dreaded another auto-immune diagnosis!
  18. nikki-uk
    Me Too!! LOL! (Are you wearing green too! )

    Thanks for the links. Interesting stuff! My brother's 4 yr old son has just been dx as being on the 'autistic spectrum'.( Although celiac disease runs from my hubby's side) I'm going to try and broach the subject of 'diet' and 'autism' with him (not sure how he'll take it!)

    Tanya, will be rooting for Megan and thinking of you all. Hope you feel better soon!

    My husband went to see a haemotologist today as he has consistently had low platelets for the last few months. He was originally referred by his Rheumatologist as the low platelet count co-incided with him taking a new drug for his Psoriatic Arthritis. Unfortunately - although the drug worked wonders with his joints he was adviced to stop taking it...

    This is the full coeliac panel ; Anti gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti- Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti- Tissue Transglutiminase (tTg) IgA Total IgA serum Good Luck !

    Hi Kate - I'm in the UK also. My husband had a negative tTg but a positive biopsy (all courtesy of the NHS!) A small number of coeliacs have Seronegative celiac disease (I think around 3%) My hubby was in hospital for a month whilst they tried to find out what was wrong - they knew the bloods come back negative for celiac disease but went ahead...

    Oh my goodness!! .BRRRRR!! A balmy 13c (54f) here in London - I thought it was getting chilly in the evening though!! My hubby is always cold (he's a coeliac) and has no qualms whatsoever about wearing long johns that come up to his armpits!! ..so long as he feels warm in winter!!

    STUBBY - HO - HO - HO !!! (Well I know I'm quite short but......)
