    Okay, too many things on too many posts to respond to (Gad, it's what you get for having a life part of the day)...so, bear with me because I'm too lazy to do the delete thing on the quote option: Great news about your mom, Susan! Now you must be there for your friend and her mom...hep C is a nightmare that few of us can imagine. Tom: I must peruse your...

    Hear, Hear! Dangle like a Diplomat!

    Sorry, Tom...no appreciation here. I'm on the Grammar Cop beat (perpetually, I fear)...and I'm gonna let you go with just a warning this time. One needs "WHOever" in this instance, as the word needs to be in the subjective form. Right word, wrong case. Hey, at least we're not having to deal with you dangling your participle in front of us. Whew!

    ......Uh huh..... Don't quite get what's wrong with the brilliant, concise, grammatically sound "my fault". Own up and move on, absolutely, and please do it while following the most basic of our fundamental grammar rules: NO ADJECTIVES WHERE A NOUN SHOULD BE!! ...my apologies....I've just had too many diplomats dangling their participles during my advanced...

    ...And I third it, Susan! Thinking of you and your mom, and her new hardware . Now, I digress... AAARRRGGGHHHHHHH...gotta tell you guys, just a whisper of that new expression (can barely type it, myself)...."my bad".....is enough to send me clear 'round the bend. It is like proverbial nails down the chalkboard. HOW I HATE IT!! I can't stop shuddering...

    Ah! Those Westminsterners (Westies?) just really know how to party...!

    I've got one more: Things that are downright impossible for Young, Urban Professional Londoners to say when drunk: No way. I will NOT use that portable, open public drain to urinate in. Everyone will see me...tourists walking by with young children and cameras! How could anyone even consider its use?

    !! Welcome back, Nikki! I sure don't know sh#t half the time...

    My brother used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place....

    Hey!....Where is everybody? ....Sillies?.....

    That is all truly amazing. My antibodies have better brains than I do!
  14. elye
    Wow, this all hurts my little brain...thanks for all your knowledge, Sandy. Lots to digest. Let me struggle through this...so, antibodies can be categorized; one type of antibody will attack only one kind of cell, but similar cell types can be found in differing parts of the body (e.g., myelin, optic nerve). The autoantibodies that attack the villi can...

    2kids4me, thanks for those references...very informative. I know that autoimmune diseases tend to cluster, and the reason why, I think, could very well be that one autoimmune disorder can, in fact, cause another, particularly when it comes to celiac disease. Celiac differs from all the other 80-odd autoimmune diseases in that with the others, the autoimmune...

    I've been grimly fascinated over the past couple of years, since my own celiac diagnosis, to trace the illnesses that stretch way back in my family tree (most startlingly, my Dad's side) that were very likely due to untreated celiac. My dad has always had the classic symptoms, but recently had a "negative" blood panel done, and that's good enough for him...

    Well, gfp, you'll have plenty of readily accessible spots to urinate and throw up, should the need arise. Nikki, we were staying right in Trafalgar Square, and these lovely city constructions were put up every couple of blocks, right into the theatre district. I wish I'd taken a pic of them in use, but I must have been too shocked to think of it...

    Dark Wolf, You may have other food sensitivities--dairy, corn and soy automatically come to mind. It is common for celiacs to have intolerances to these other foods as well, and the symptoms are similar. Or, you may be just celiac, but still getting trace amounts of gluten through cross-contamination or in shampoos, toothpaste, soaps, creams, etc. Hope...

    ARCHIVED Hidden Symptons

    elye replied to VRB's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    You say you've only been gluten-free for three weeks. I have what may be considered good news for you, or perhaps not ...MANY celiacs who started out asymptomatic (I was a classic example--no GI or neurological symptoms at all), have had their lower intestines start to heal when eating gluten-free, and then will start feeling the symptoms after a while...

    Lisa, I've got a question for you that I've wondered about: what's the difference between celiac sprue and refractory sprue?
  21. elye
    Sorry, my mistake...confused you with someone else who's a fellow diabetic. Well, maybe that's a little light in your current darkness..at least there are no blood sugar issues!

    "Every girl loves a Dickens' cider"... Wow...at the same time?
  23. elye
    Don't forget, too, that there are MANY individuals who get false negatives on the blood panel, and also on the biopsy. As the very wise veterans on this forum will state, the only true, accurate diagnostic "test" for celiac is positive dietary response. So I agree with the others so far--trying the gluten-free diet is the way to go, and you can replace...
  24. elye
    Wow, Lisa...that's a lot to have been living through. At least with some answers you can hopefully move toward some quick recovery. If I recall correctly, you are also a type one diabetic. That alone is enough for anyone! No sage advice, just best wishes...

    ...A GREAT letter, Fiddle-faddle. Superb...Jess, copy it word for word and send it along.
