Yes......we seem to have earned a magic, much-coveted immunity from punishment o'er here in Sillyville. Methinks they see a "Tickle Me Elbow" post coming in, they roll their eyes and mutter, "Aw, gawd, it's just one of them... ... push it through...... ..no one ever knows what in hell they're talking about anyway"........ :lol:

IMO this is a public board and talking about other members in this thread, or making fun of someone who believe's differently, is something I don't agree with and I realize I am in the minority on that.

I was just cruising the other threads and noticed that there are three first time posters...all around the same time........that give very brief answers and have web links in their signatures. One of them doesn't even answer the question.......just pushes his site.

Lisa,

There's been a lot of that lately--people spamming the board but doing so in established threads. Very sneaky....swoop in after the topic is pinned <_<

Could you let me know which threads these are? Thanks :)

Morning Sillies....well here we are!!! Patti the sun is shining bright today.

I am getting ready to eat a breakfast my MIL made, she made homemade blueberry blintzes, gluten free. John and I did some grilling last night and we made this greek chicken which was pretty good.

So I have this 2-hr training session today from 11-1....boring is all I can say!

Morning, Sillies!

Gosh, I hope we see Jules today.

Alex, you really are an amazing woman in her twenties.....Hell, I cannot see me ever being as self-aware as you are, and I'm now into my forties!

I sat with my best friend a few years ago, holding her hand and crying with her after her son was diagnosed with autism....we both were talking about the vaccination that he had received a year before, and how the symptoms began shortly afterward. Incredible how these possibilities exist - - that perhaps these medications could affect some people so profoundly, and forever. Julie mentioned how ill she became after a vaccine, as well....very sobering, frightening stuff.

But I digress! I'm on the bleedin' Silly thread, for heaven's sake! What got into me?....... :rolleyes:

I think that it's after moments like these that we appreciate the snippits of Sillie all the more :)

I just burned--no, incenerated--bacon in my microwave. Trying to do two things at once <_< ......it even put a burn mark on me plate :angry: It smells really gross in here right now (scrunchedupyukkysmellface).

Yeah--Amanda, it was raining when I got up at 6, but all sunny now B) Sorry 'bout the boring stuff today.

I got to rant here.....

Let me just phirst! say that my coworkers and I have really pulled together and finally became that team with the bond....which some of you know I struggled with the acceptance and pressures of my peers at work....

Anyway so we assumed this training was something we were logging on to the computer to do..well after some conphusion yesterday @ 4 when the training coordinate had left for the day, a phew of us were still wondering of a few details this morning. Turns out it was yours truly who ran into this person first thing this morning...well, I said to her our coworker was wondering about getting the projector and computer and such...and her words to me were "Amanda there is training today in room 1832, you would know that but you were the only one who did not respond to the email.... :huh: Alright...I don't appreciate the attuitude at 8 in the morning....jeez I barely had time to catch my breath from walking in the door and she comes in and literally does a Power Phart??? What gives?

So I check around and my other cohorts did not respond either....so this woman is just ranting to rant I guess?

So then I felt bad because I had gotten Susan all conflustered and confuzzled...well the woman who was ranting was like I cannot believe Susan was confused I gave her all the instructions...I am like look we were the ones giving her mixed info its not her fault...

I understand sometimes, Susan is not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed but this time she was not in the wrong!

I had to let that out.....

I think our Little Miss Attitude should take some high dose laxatives and poop all her mean genes away!!!!

Lisa, you can hit the report button when you see something. It let's you write a note about that person's particular post. You can preface it with an "I'm not sure this is a problem . . ." kind of lead it if you aren't for sure. It goes to the moderators and then they can check it out and decide if it is actionable or not. The person in question doesn't know who is the one that reported them either.

Alex- I also wanted to add, that based on your posts, you have a lot of compassion, maybe it's just not the first thing out of your mouth...

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      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?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      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?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
