I'd be afraid of chemical leaching.

I prefer glass to plastic and am weary of contact lenses...

That's why if I ever get plastic surgery I'm getting stuff cut off rather than put foreign objects in me...

L.O.L, I believe the term you are looking for it "yuppie". Living in the Seattle area I know exactly what you are referring to. We also call them "granola bars" or "greeners".

Are you seriously that sensitive? You didn't hurt my feelings, takes much more than that. Sorry to disappoint you.

You didn't hurt my feelings. I don't believe I hurt your feelings. Just have a care when you post that things don't get taken the wrong way. :D:D:D

I'm only disappointed your informative posts will get taken the wrong way and people will choose the ignore user option.

N=2, and if you count the ones I haven't lived with there's much, much more experience. I'm stuck in uber yuppieville and everyone thinks veggie is "trendy" here.

Well I hope the OP has been able to get some good info from all of this. The only thing I would add is that if you havn't already had kids, you may want to wait. For one thing, you may not be able to BF with implants. Also, pregnancy, hormones, all that can change a persons body a lot and some people are bigger after having babies....even if they BF. Wasn't the case for me :rolleyes: , but it was indeed for a friend of mine. I have thought about getting it done myself. However, for me, this whole Celiac thing has turned out to be a bit more complicated than I would have liked. I am still dealing with issues and finding CC hard to deal with. I am so thankful for the level of health and wellness that I DO have, that it keeps me from focusing too much on the more superficial stuff. Still, I totally understand why a woman in our culture would want implants. They really are very tempting.

The other thing I would like to address is Ursula. I have done a lot of research on this subject in the past. I have read PRO studies and CON studies. I have frequented Mercola's sight myself. I havn't always agreed with everything there, but over-all it is a decent sight. THe facts are......breast augmentation is NOT a risk-free surgery. Plain and simple. The OP wanted feedback. Ursula was kind enough to go out of her way and provide a lot of food for thought. The word's against her were extremely confrontational and frankly if someone spoke to me that way, I doubt I would have as much class as she did.

As for the comment about hippies or hippie wannabees....whatever it was. COME ON!! Give me a break! I too, have a real low tolerance for "BS" and I just got a load of it reading through these posts! :angry:

I had silicone breast implants put in on Feb 27, 2006.  I developed Celiac Disease soon after and then developed Sjogrens Syndrome soon after that.  I decided to have them removed yesterday and it's a good thing I did as the surgeon discovered that one of the implants had ruptured, which I suspected about 3 years ago but didn't have them removed.  I'm at home recovering as I speak, but looking back I wish I never would have had them put in in the first place.  I'm still bandaged up, but know that I'll be back to my normal self soon.  I'm anxious to find out if I feel better (celiac) in the next month.  After implants I had no feeling in my breasts, couldn't lift weights like I used to before they were put in, and they were very lopsided.  I would be happy to talk to anyone to talk them out of it.  I was a 32 AA and after implants a 32 DD.  I'll keep you posted on my new look...I can't wait to see the results!

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
