The Ronco Spray on Hair!!!!I forgot all about that.

Hey, remember the Flow-be? You could give yourself that flat top haircut, and all the excess hair would be sucked up into your vaccum cleaner. All in one easy step! :D

But wouldn't a guy who's losing hair worry that more than the cut hair would be sucked into the vacuum cleaner!!??

Which do women prefer:

Balding man

Bald man

Comb over (regular, not TheDonald)

Hair is good

Balding is good

Bald is good

Comb over -very very bad!! :lol:

Why would a man want to do that?!

I mean it's not as if you can't tell he's going bald. :blink:

Be bald and be proud I say!!!

For the record I've got plenty of hair. It's not nearly as nice as Steve's, but there is a lot of it, it's thick and it's REAL!

That Seinfeld epi. comes to mind - the one with Teri Hatcher "they're real and they're SPECTACULAR" :P

LMAO !!LOL! :lol: Richard you are so funny!!

With 2 coeliacs in my house (one of them still on gluten for biopsy) you seriously do not want to take your chances doing that in my house!!!! :lol:

I concur ! How can we assess whether Richard is follicularily ( is that a word? :blink: ) challenged unless we can see him.

Richard-are you scared you wouldn't match up to Steve's lustrous locks?

:lol::lol:

Did you read the text below it? It's real use is as an emergency breathing device for hi-rise building fires. Hmmm, I think I would take my chances with the fire escape before inhaling sewer gas!

I still get surprised when I see pictures of myself .... I don't think I look as skinny as I do in pics ... but I know I do. It's really funny because we lived here three years ago, and when we moved back, I thought it looked like everyone gained about 15 pounds ... but it was me who LOST weight!!

I suppose you can't see me in this one either B)

Funny--Wilson :lol:

I have a picture that was taken 5 months pre Dx. My face was ghostly white, puffy and my eyes didn't look open all the way. Truly scary :o

I had always been skinny and I worked as a land surveyor, so I was on my feet all day - great exercise tromping through the woods - so i never thought 2x about it. I wasn't really sick!

Scary is right!

      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.

      @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.

      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!

      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.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.
