Too dark. Can't see you.

I can't imagine which of our friends and family would even think of our name with gluten or celiac ... I guess I've never really worried about it, but I don't really say anything I wouldnt' say to anyone anyway ... and I don't have my email address posted ... of course, it helps that I have a common name. Well, common enough.

My natural haircolor is a bizarre combination of blonde, light brown, and red. This color was supposed to be strawberry blonde, but I erm, forgot to tell my hair lady how quickly and strongly red dye takes to my hair. My natural haircolor is all wrong for my complexion, so I help it out :P

When I was little, it was bright red (like Vincent's son) and then it turned blonde, and then an ash blonde.

I've grown accustomed to the dark, but it still needs to be fixed, because it was super dark and my hairlady tried to do a stripping rinse on it to lighten it, but it did so unevenly, and I was supposed to get it fixed today, but my hairlady threw her back out, poor thing :(

So right now, I've got this marbled look to my hair and BRIGHT red roots :blink:

I have another appointment tomorrow :)

I saw my natural haircolor for about 2 years, in college (I had been dying it since I was 13) and then lightened it a bit and never turned back!!!

Now you look more like my daughter in law. Her hair is naturally red. I think she darkened it before the wedding because t wasn't so red. She's a sweet heart.

Molly,

Much better. :D

My DIL is 5'10" and had to wear flats for her wedding. My stepson is 5'11" I think....maybe only 5'10".

I'm 5'4 and I have the shortest legs. I didn't pull from the height gene from my mom's side, her brothers were 6'6 and 6'4, and all my female cousins 5'8 and over.

Good point Carla. I don't think I'll change my name either, chances are slim they would put in my name plus Celiac.

Yep Molly, the picture is really dark, can't even see you.

I would assume Andrea waterproof watches also are slobber proof :lol:

flagbabyds Collaborator

can you see the new pic? i changed it...

yeah i would think that those watches are also slobberproof.

Oh yeah i also have freakishly long legs, pants don't fit me right at all.

Speaking of Mango's....I seeeeeeee you Mango!! :D

I know, when I eat a mango for breakfast I am always thinking of Mango, wondering what she's doing right now down under.

I get so excited when I see Mango's name. Hi Mango!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol::lol:

flagbabyds Collaborator

i think that mango might just be getting caught up, i would be lost if i wasn't on top of reading this thread.

AndreaB Contributor

Ok Molly....it's all your fault. :P

New picture....I only have three of these loaded so I'll switch between them. From when I was around you age (16-18).

I see you Susan! Glad you joined us. We've missed you!

I see you too Meredith! How's it going down under?

flagbabyds Collaborator

i like the new avatar, but what is it exaclty?!?! estoy confundido solo un poquito.

Yep i like it when people get new avatars

i think we need to PM rachel until she gets a new one!

the only problem is you can only take 50 and then they bounce back.

This is a premature post....man, I go out and babysit for the night and I fall behind. Then as I try to catch up you guys are writing a mile a minute.

im 16 and i have a purple room and my 19 year old sister has a pink room, and we just painted them!

pink and purple are not JUST for little girls, they are 2 of my fav. colors!

I'm 18 and pink has been my favorite color for about the majority of my life.

:lol::lol:

My Dad, my grandmother, my husband and I were in a limo going to my grandfather's funeral. My grandfather was quite the joker, and we noticed a bugger on my dad's glasses. We all started laughing about it! So, as we pull up to the funeral, we're all giggling and laughing ... everyone had to be wondering since we were the family! We decided it was one last practical joke that grandpa was pulling on Dad.

One time he called my dad and pretended to be the power company ... it was snowing like mad, and my grandfather had seen that on the news. He asked my dad to walk around the corner to see if the street light was on, so when my dad got back after trapsing in the snow, got on the phone and told grandpa it was on, grandpa said, "Well, blow it out you dummy!" My dad hung up and took the phone off the hook. My grandma was so mad because she had wanted to speak to my dad. So, the bugger had to be Grandpa's last practical joke.

lol :lol:

I found that most of homeschooling was waiting for them to finish this task, then waiting for them to finish that task ... of course that was when they could read, so by the end of first grade ... I spent time entertaining myself on the computer a lot when I homeschooled! :rolleyes: You know, ya' have to sit there and watch them work, or they don't!!! :angry:

Hey <_< .... it's Luke's fault :D

:lol::lol:

I gotta wait till I'm on my home computer....and then I have to wait for a moment in time that I'm not feeling too lazy. :rolleyes:

Possibly, this weekend....depending on the histamine levels and brainfeeze factors. :P

I never really wear dresses....only for special events. My mom getting married qualified....I'm just soooo thankful that I didnt trip or anything like that. I havent had much practice in heels so it was a tiny bit scary.

I'm sure it's a beautiful picture

I'm trying to remember the last time I wore high heels.... :unsure:

Let's see. When I'm with my friends I wear flipflops but I wear heels with family. Last Friday when I randomly decided to wear heels out with my friends, they called them stripper boots. I just about fell over laughing :lol: I hadn't even realized that I don't wear heels with them.....they're all shorter than me though.

Too funny Carla!!

LOL....ummm is since January considered forever?? :lol:

Yeah....I suppose it has been awhile. I switched it a few times but then I got attached to this one. :)

I think this was like my 4th avatar??

I'll put up the purple dress pic this weekend.

Ok if it's been since January.....then yes it has been forever :D

:lol: Whenever I say thongs, all my kids think I'm talking about underwear!! :lol:

It's the best when Dad says thongs though.....his spongebob thongs :lol:

no one i know calls flip flops thongs except for my dad.

yes we do think about underwear...

exactly

Night Rachel.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it. 
    • trents
      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.
    • hmkr
      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!
