People keep mentioning "DD" what is it?

JK,

I'm so glad you asked that. When I first started here, I too wondered and was reluctant to ask because I felt I should already know or be able to figure it out and would sound really dumb. Well, now I feel dumb and dumber.

I had deduced that it was daughter, son, and husband ( I have been on here almost three months). But I always thought it meant they had Celiac, or maybe dermatitis herpetiformis, a slang abreviation with medical connotations or something. Of course, many times (probably most of the time even) the posters are referring to their Celiac kid or husband, but not necessarily.

That's why many times I start out a post with "I'm not the expert" (but here's what I think)!

best regards, lm

I believe that using such abbreviations are silly--just write it out! Such things only make it impossible for others to search for information that could help them.

AFAIK these are common internet abbreviations that have been in use for over a decade...just like the smilies. :) I don't see their usage stopping. For a list of common abbreviations, check here:

LM,

Thanks for saying that! It's been driving me nuts that past couple of months trying to figure out what ds, dd and dh meant! I can figure out what the big D meant based on the context of the conversations, but those other one's had me scratching my head!

Take Care,

Jenny

      Popcorn pain

      By JenFur · Posted

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
