:o:huh: ...uhhhhh hallucinogenic drugs plus high places are pretty far down my list of things to do before i die...right towards the end...just above scaling a razor ribbon topped eletrified chain-link fence...naked...in the rain...at night...on national tv...in Alabama

For recaps, go to "Pick a Show" and scroll down. The forums are pretty funny :P

OMG! excellent, thank you Pah-ti.

Given some more thought to the whle moderator question... perhaps the big cheese has slected our moderators witht he whole "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" mentality...HE (capitalized to show respect) is really keeping a close eye on a select bunch of known table dancers and trampoline bouncers...it makes me feel better to think this is true...anybody see my hallucinogenic meds? :huh: My model glue? My whiteout? Something!Please! My cherry flavored highlighter !

hmmm...I think your theory fits, Scott did ask yours truly - that's right - a few months back, to be a moderator. :o

:huh:

shocked the bejaysus out of me....I pondered it for about a day and did decline. told him that I needed to be free to be as silly as I want.

Did not tell him that I have hardly a SHRED of common sense. :lol::wacko:

She was young and needed the money ;)

Patti....did those hallucinogens arrive ALREADY??? :lol:

PATTI !!!!!!!!!

Are YOU taking Susie's drugs??? .......

Merry Mirth Makers

:lol:

THEY (capitalized to show distrust and contempt) don't call them "drugs"...I have heard that THEY take a daily SOMA supplement...just a rumoUr as far as i know :huh:

OMG - I have nearly a full bottle of SOMA in my cupboard....from the heinous back debacle of July....hmmmm, forgot about those!! Will pull them out for painting assignments and carpet shampooing. ;)

Tom - sillability index. :lol: Once you're moved, you may find your mojo in San Jose. MOving is THE most heinous thing imaginable.

Good Call! I'm sure you would be expected to actually read some of the serious posts!

So, how does our Grand Poobah notify one if there's an offer of Moderatorship on the table? (I would be under that one, too...) Does he call in the early evening?..I've been screening calls big-time lately, and one persistent individual whose ID is "unknown source" has been trying to get through. Can't have been Bob Goulet, as he is clearly not speaking right now. Perhaps...hmm, no, it can't be. There have just been too many posts of mine in the last couple of years that Scott would flag and say, "Uh, Patti...(or Bev, or Ursula)..make certain that I never consider that individual as moderator material".

HARRRUMMMPPPH.....

(You probably have to know lots of MATH to do that job, anyways! Icky-poo!)

Well....long before the daily addiction to the silly thread....I WAS quite a serious poster! and, ahem, you may find this hard to believe...but I still DO sometimes venture out of this realm of madness and write something of......just the slightest usefulness. ( <---- <_< questionable)

Our Grand Poobah uses PM's. Never called me--nope, not once :unsure:

What? Who, Scott? really? are you kidding me? Scott and I.....well, I'm not sure if I should tell you guys this but he calls me daily...wants my thoughts on this or that....keeps asking me to write a book, "the Celiac.com Chronicles," has asked that I travel along with his family to many an exotic gluten-free locale (Finland, Italy)....I tell ya, sometimes I just don't answer, he really just wants too much of my valuable time....but we teleconference frequently with all kinds of Celiac experts, they work it around MY schedule.....

*snort*

:lol: :lol: :P

off to the store. I think there is a bag of Nuggets in my future. :ph34r:that part is true.

Ah, this does not surprise me. I was expecting I might hear something like this. You see, just after I arranged that initial meeting all those years ago with Scott regarding my plan for a website for celiac patients and insisted he run with my idea, he told me he would go ahead on one condition: that I stay with him as the CEO, a second-in-command, if you will. The pleading...the grovelling...it is difficult to recount these things, to remember Scott as being so...needy and unsure. I was forced to tell him that I had another life I had to carry on with, and that he would have to find someone else to write the prototype for my book...you guessed it..."The Celiac.com Chronicle". I assured him that there would be another equally capable individual, somewhere. I also informed all of the gastrointestinal researchers that I could no longer head up the teleconferencing (I still do the odd flowchart for them). So, in a nutshell, Susie, you have to start screening your calls, like I do. I'm SO glad he's found you! :lol:

OK- Susie- That's IT! Scott told me I was his one and only.......don't tell me he showed you his gluten-free ganache mobile? The EDIBLE one? If he did, it's over between he and I and you and he and he and you (but NEVER you and I cuz friends is more IMPOTENT!!!!!!!!!!)

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd :lol: :lol: :lol: So YOU were the one!!!! :o I knew it...I just KNEW it!!! You know I don't really mean to brag or anything but Scott (and all the medical experts) do say that my flow charts are WAY gooder than yours. Now now, don't be upset, it's just the facts, as they are. My flow charts are - well I don't know if I should give this away or not, but since it's trademarked, I suppose I can.....my flowcharts are Tollhouse-cookie-scented. And I do mean the REAL ones, w/ gluten, not the ersatz facsimiles.

*snork*

I wish I was half as creative as you . . . but I will settle for only slightly off my rocker.

oh you are FAR more than slightly off your rocker, my dear.

Plus, remember, you're gooder w/ numbers. :blink:

:o He told you about the ganache? HOw DARE he!!! I must speak to him at once......calling him now.....

Mmmmmm......It's not the thought of impending tornadoes. I'm just always ready for a lockdown. I'm...not at liberty to say any more...at this time... :huh:

OMG Emily, it's true, isn't it!!! you ARE in the Witness Protection Program!!!! :o

Gah...All the tables Bev and I have been up on, the ones I've been under...I forgot about being under that #!!*#!*@ ganache mobile. Susie's washing Scott's hair,...well, 'tis a might better than washing Mr. Simmons'. Didn't you volunteer for that one, Bev? :o

Okay, well, Susie, you may have configured smelly flowcharts, but you must remember that I mastered visual mapping of athletic T-bagging. And I presented such while up on a table!

You painted sheets? Like bed sheets? What kind of paint did you use? That sounds like fun.

Acrylic. It was for sets in the play, but i still managed to get some in my hair... go figure...

^_^ <---- Thoughtful face?

:wacko: <---- Or maybe this is my thoughtful face!

I think I'm going to paint some sheets. Maybe next weekend.

I do believe I have had a bonafide case of brain fog today. The high point was when I was having an interior debate about... something... "Should I or shouldn't I, should I or shouldn't I...." ...and then realized I couldn't remember what I was trying to make a decision about.

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. 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?
    • Cathijean90
      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.
