Oh, you know who else is really hot? Sam Sheppard. OMG. and also, there is a British actor whom I love, he played Mr. what's-his-name in the A&E version of Jane Eyre - - Carla will know.

Do you mean Mr. Darcy on Pride and Prejudice? That would be Colin Firth, who also played the same character on Bridget Jones Diaries.

OK...I have a question about skin and eyelashes. I'm English,

Irish and French but everyone thinks I look Italian. My hair is really dark (naturally anyway :P ) and my skin gets REALLY DARK in the sun but I'm pretty pale in winter. Weirdest thing was when I got my genetic test results back, my celiac gene was the Mediterranean one.??????

LOL Well, that gene got there somehow!!! ;)

Thanks for all the well-wishes. I'm starting to feel a little better after a shocking start on all these meds.

:lol: Yes, that may be somewhat true, but I did show up before hair was mentioned. I wasn't feeling good and this thread was quiet anyway ...

well whatever the reason, glad to see you here! :)

no, it's the Irish actor, mentioned in one of my posts above. I DO also love Colin Firth, he is adorable, I would SO date him. ;)

OMG, I have SO much to do today and am just goofing off at computer. somebody help me. :huh:

Thank you for the welcome back!!

I finally made it through the posts .... My favorite Mr. Darcy is the one in my avatar!!! My second is Colin Firth in the A&E version, which is also my favorite version.

I like Jayne Eyre, too. I don't know if I ever saw a film version though. I'll have to look for that one that's posted. I just finished reading Vanity Fair, so I'm going to rent that movie next time Adam's out of town. It took forever to read, stupid brain fog!

OMG SWOON indeed! :wub: I am deeply in love with Colin Firth. He is, in fact, being suggested (my idea!) as the actor to play the husband in the film to be made about one of my dear friend's lives.....true story! The woman for whom I occasionally work, Linda Caine, wrote a book that was a bestseller in England. As we speak Linda is in London meeting with the screenwriter for the movie (we are so excited!) and he has some important connections......they are talking of Ralph Fiennes as the shrink and Kate Winslet to play Linda. :rolleyes: BTW I highly recommend this book to any of you who've suffered with depression or any mental ills, I read it in the darkest period of my life, and threw up a prayer to God that I would love to meet this woman......well, not only did I MEET her, she is one of my dearest friends, and in fact, I have a key to her house. ;) oh yeah, her two dogs are my girls' boyfriends. :)

[link to her book: <a href="Open Original Shared Link .com/Out-Dark-Linda-Caine/dp/0552148695/sr=1-5/qid=1169493078/ref=sr_1_5/104-6278517-2216751?ie=UTF8&s=books" target="external ugc nofollow">Open Original Shared Link .com/Out-Dark-Linda-Caine...TF8&s=books</a>

okay, sorry to get serious on our nutty thread. Back to lunacy! :P

THAT is so cool. I'm not sure I could handle Colin Firth and ralph Fiennes in one movie. Potential death by swoonage. Wow! :wub: :wub: :wub:

RICHARD_ HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to agree with Meg Ryan (must go look at bad plastic surgery photo) and Kate Beckinsale. Serendipity is too sweet and she can rock in Van Helsing! She's 4th on my list to wake up looking like!

OK- genetic question: Isn't French Mediteranean? Susie- Could we be related?

:lol::lol: Yeah, he's my Mr. Darcy. I thought he was a total @ss ... it always bothered me that I also thought he was sooo great looking!! :lol: I even won the "I'll never go out with Adam B again" award at my sorority award night .... after we were dating seriously. I guess he's the reason why I like the P&P theme so much!! Now if I complain about him being a jerk, he says it's not a fair accusation, I knew that and married him anyway!

Gender bending actors :blink:

I hope the collagen stuff in Meg Ryan's lips is temporary.

well now that IS true - southern France is on the med. So, Bev is perhaps Southern French. My French ancestors, surname of Michel, were Huguenots - crazy French protestants, right? I"ll have to research more. Have always had a curious vigilante streak adn a strong sense of justice....did I tell y'all that my great-great-great- and maybe one more great uncles were the Garrett Brothers (for our friend across the pond, Sheriff Pat Garrett hunted down and killed Billy the Kidd, famous Wild West outlaw). :D

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8, Yes, the bloodwork is confusing.   One has to be eating a sufficient amount of gluten (10 grams/day, about 5-6 slices of bread) in order for the antibody level to get high enough to be measured in the bloodstream.  If insufficient amounts of gluten are eaten, the the antibodies stay in the small intestines, hence the statement "tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet."  The bloodwork reflects anemia.  People with anemia can have false negatives on tTg IgA tests because anemia interferes with antibody production.  Diabetes and Thiamine deficiency are other conditions that may result in false negatives.  Anemias, B12 deficiency, iron deficiency, Thiamine deficiency and gastritis are common in undiagnosed Celiac disease.    The DGP IgG antibody test should be given because your daughter is so young.  Many young people test positive on DGP IgG because their immune systems are not mature and don't produce IgA antibodies yet.  Your daughter has several alleles (genes for Celiac disease).   Your daughter needs to be checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Iron (ferritin) B12, Vitamin D, Thiamine and Vitamin A should be checked.   Were any biopsies taken during the endoscopy? Keep us posted on your progress.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.
