I'm pretty new here and don't really feel I know too many of the regular posters, but I certainly enjoyed reading this thread. It was interesting and funny...I have to say, this message board has REALLY helped me more than anything else over recent months...I am feeling so much better now, mostly because of reading people's discussions, experiences, thoughts, references to medical lit, etc., and finally figuring out my problems with all of this help. Some arguing (I think I've missed most of it) is only natural in this situation; there just isn't a lot of helpful information out there or easy to find, and so throwing around opinions and all of that is only what you'd expect. If I hadn't stumbled across this message board almost a year ago, I'd still be totally miserable today! I would hate to see this thing moderated like the vegan message board I belong to, where anything possibly conflicting with veganism is deleted right away. I like the idea of veganism, but I don't like doing anything just blindly; I prefer knowing both sides of an issue before I make my choice...but now I'm getting off track. Let me just say again: This board, and every poster on it, has been enormous help to me.

Aww spunky- you're awesome.

Lynne- I cannot wait for the full moon. I am going to howl, wail and scream like a banshee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richard- I've got Trigger stuffed and mounted in my living room. He's cool, but a little hard. Not as soft and friendly as I thought he's be.

...Gene Autry. My dad was a big fan, she won Gene's ashes on eBay and keeps him in her pocket book. The whole Trigger in the trunk thing never worked out... :huh:

oh...help me.....dear God.....was actually reading that for a minute and thinking it was true - pondering it - and then read Richard's signature and Bev's question

I LOVE FULL MOONS.................................. :D:D:D:D:ph34r:

I did find his back legs but had to buy them seperately. Don't understand why they were more expensive. I'll pet him for your mom. He's very sweet and quiet.

When he wouldn't fit in the trunk mom cut the back legs off, then realized he still wasn't gonna fit. Dad wanted to make a coffee table out of them, but "Two legs does not a table make". :(

Dad tried duct tape, it just kept chafing Trigger's *ss. Finally he gave up and made a nifty pair of lamps(complete with 10 gallon shades) and sold them on eBay to help pay for Gene. (times were tough)

Nice Avatar by the way. Happier times (sniffle)

I'm a little confused. Wasn't it Roy Rogers' horse that was named "Trigger"??????? Gene Autry's horse was named "Champion" (he called him "Champ). Full moon and all . . . . . . .

Well of course everybody know that, everybody but mom. Imagine her dismay when she presented Trigger to dad..."um thanks honey, wrong horse" :(

Champion (Autry's horse, for those of you who don't know <_< ) rode off into the sunset with Silver and Mr. Ed, never to be seen again. Thank God we still have Trigger!

Forgive me for jumping in here....but I love Mr Ed and so do my kids. He lives on in the DVD world. Shhhh, don't tell my kids he's dead. They have a hard enough time with Lassie. Lassie is still alive since it's the same dog year after year right? I know, they've used like 5 Lassies, not including current ones.

What am I doing posting here :blink: I don't have time to keep up on so many active threads! :wacko:

Is her around? Here it is "The Worm Song"

Have you ever felt this way? Most of us have felt "friendless" at some point, but when you do, remember that the feeling will probably pass. And in the meantime, we DON'T advise you to "go eat worms"!

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,

Guess I'll go eat worms,

Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,

Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,

Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,

Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Version II

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me

Think I'll go and eat worms

Long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones

See how they wriggle and squirm

I bite off the heads, and suck out the juice

And throw the skins away

Nobody knows how fat I grow

On worms three times a day

Ohh...nobody loves me.

Version III:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,

Think I'll go eat worms.

Big fat juicy ones, Eensie weensy squeensy ones,

See how they wiggle and squirm.

Chomp off their heads and squeeze out the juice

And throw their tails away

Nobody knows how I survive

On worms three times a day.

Version IV:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me

I'm goin' down the garden to eat worms

Long thin slimy ones, short fat fuzzy ones

Ooey gooey, ooey gooey worms

Long thin slimy ones slip down easily

Short fat fuzzy ones don't

Short fat fuzzy ones stick to your teethlink to a non-NIEHS site

And the juice goes slurpin' (slurping noise) down your throat

Version V:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,

think I'll go eat worms...

big fat juicy ones, little slimy skinny ones,

hope they don't have germs!"

My tummy feels like I DOD eat worms today! Miss you Vincent, Beverly

      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

      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.

      diagnostic testing variance

      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.
