Sorry, we can't have the Boy Scouts and MJ in the same parade. :o

I just got off the phone with him, Michael Jackson says he'll stay in Bahrain, has some more skin-bleaching sessions and also said he was too afraid of the yeti (but in fact HAS been doing some hyperbaric treatments w/ sacred yeti scat that he dug up on Neverland).

:lol:

Hey! Did some quick research. The Australian term for their mysterious hairy bipoedal hominid is not Yeti (that's Nepal), but Yowie. Much nicer...better for the parade. Jess, some new stanzas, please? :lol:

Um . . . you're 46?!?! You HONESTLY do not look a day over 36. So is living with Dingos the true Fountain of Youth?

I accidentally glutened myself on Wednesday evening (with the stupidest mistake in the history of Celiac Disease) and I was finally able to get some sleep last night. Not sure if it was the gluten or my crazy blood sugar but I had some really weird dreams. But the general theme of these dreams was a very odd, rather perverse parade! So I just wanted to report that all of this silliness made it into my messed up dreams!

Thanks for all of the funniness. It does a body good. I can't believe I'm laughing within 48 hours of ingesting gluten.

Once the hellish first 24 hours were over I decided I was going to try and fight the glutening and just carry on but my brain and my tummy aren't on board with that <_< . So I'm heading back to bed. Have fun with all the funniness. Thanks for the much needed giggles.

"Hey! Who ate Chuck Heston's goat?"

"YOWIE!" "YOWIE!"

ok, got a little lame towards the end.

or all the way through,

but come on! How many poems about giant furry semimythical beasts can a girl come up with in one morning?

Maybe Jan Michael Vincent (the man with three first names) could do a fly-over in "Airwolf". I hear he's looking for work. (as are most of the stars from 80's tv favorites :huh: )

Nay, Nay, quite excellent, I say. (That actually sounds more like Dr. Seuss)

Plus, the goat had it coming.

When they showed the table full of guns I almost died. What is wrong with people today. That place is not so far from Harrisburg. Maybe an hour.

... a bit like Chuck Norris :P

I do vaguely remember that I once heard, through a friend of a friend, that the only thing that even comes close to sending a chill up the mighty Mr. Norris' spine is the thought of meeting the business end of the Iroquois Skull Crusher that hangs above Susie's mantle. Speak softly and carry BIG STICK! She defies time, gravity and any other laws of physics that she pleases! :o

:lol: SO not true. But, Alex, to answer your question, YES, the secret is living with dingos, AND lots of sunscreen. ;)

oh, and still having ACNE at 45 helps a lot :angry: (two months shy of 46)

Got carded until my late 30's, early 40's.....then gained over TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS removing gluten and, never get carded any more.

har-RUMPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Ahem, excuse me, picture taken in July of this year. :P A confession: objects in photo appear younger than in person. In real life, I look quite haggard today, and would NOT insert a photo from this week, should one be taken (like the elusive yeti, I am hard to capture on film).

bloody miserable headache and puffy eyes today, just what IS in Coca Cola? :unsure: somebody tell me, because I NEVER drink them, and had half of one at lunch yesterday.....is it the chemicals? feel and look like rubbish today. and now must head out to Cheesecake FActory for lunch......ugh. Wish to remain in seclusion today.

      For me I gave up oat products and it finally cleared. I had a whole body reaction for months. Two additional culprits for me: shared grill at a restaurant or a shared toaster. Hope you have relief soon.

      It can take between 6 months and 2 years for the dermatitis herpetiformis rash to resolve. The symptoms of dermatitis herpetiformis arise from deposits of certain antibodies building up in the skin. These deposits attract immune cells leading to inflammation and blistering. It can take 10 years for the deposits to be reabsorbed although symptoms resolve long...

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes.

It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?
