Latin is a dead language,

It's plain enough to see.

It killed off all the Romans

And now it's killing me!

(Read that somewhere when I was a kid)

All I'm saying is, when I get tattoo's I get them because they were a turning point in my life.

My first was returning from Japan

My second was a very down time in my life that I was slowly getting thorugh

My third, was my divorce

My 4th, was in honor of my fathers death,,,,

So anything I get, I don't get because it looks cool or is in, and I have drawn each one myself and had the artist do it.

Quod Me Nutrit Me Destruit , actually has big signifigance for me at this healing stage in the game.

Thats my thinking....whenever someone asks whats that mean, or why did you get that....there is actually a reason other than, it looked cool :)

I think it is a fabulous quote and if it resonates deeply enough with a transformation you are going through then why not, your body, your choice. :)

I'm so nerdy that I didn't even know that there were styles that went in and out of fashion with tattoos, clearly I'm not into them but I have my ways of marking passages.

The more I think about it the more I think I will find some way to incorporate it into my kitchen. :lol:

Thanks.

Huh? This can't be true, Alfred told me just yasterday that he had witnessed, with his very own eyes no less, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny debating the virtues of fuzzy slippers in this language you claim to have seen circling the toilet...

I've always wanted a tattoo but thought I'd get sick from the ink :blink: I mean, I'm getting sick from everything else why not tattoo ink aswell :P

I love Angelina's tattoo - especially the one you've quoted. It really fits well :)

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.
    • englishbunny
      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
    • englishbunny
      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.
