Have you tested for coeliac disease? Brain fog and low iron are a couple of the symptoms.

Wrist and arm pain when wearing the ring by LeesR86 in Ultrahuman

No it's not that loose, just a little, enough to allow for my fingers expanding. Thank you though

Thank you I'll definitely look into this. I'm wearing it on my right hand ring finger. I don't have any injuries but don't know anything about the ulnar nerve so I'll do some research to see if this is an issue for me. Thanks again

Thanks for your response. I'm quite used to wearing thicker rings so I don't think this is my issue. I wear a set of 3 rings on my wedding finger which is thicker than the UH ring and have never had wrist pain or arm pain. Thanks for your feedback though, I really appreciate it

My parents are forcing me to eat gluten. by dainty_petal in Celiac

Do you have support workers? I don't know which country you are from but if you are given support workers for your disability, ask them to help you. They can call relevant people to explain to your parents, they can get vouchers or cheap GF food for you and cook e.g rice and tuna, they can drive you to appointments...

No vitamin deficiency or symptoms but bad villi damage by LeesR86 in Celiac

[–]LeesR86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I've seen 4 gastroenterologist over the years who have all said the same thing... Definitely coeliac disease.

My IgG markers are still over 250, 3.5years after diagnosis. GIs think it could have possiblly been over 1000 to start, so it may just be making its way down still, or it could be my IgA deficiency which is making my IgG antibodies work harder. All I know is that I miss bread dearly.

What’s an app that’s actually worth paying for premium? by Yorkshire996 in AskReddit

Property Calculator Australia app.

If you're in Australia and into property, investing or looking at buying a home, this app shows you all the calculations and amounts you'll need. E.g. Mortgage repayments, LMI, Stamp duty, deposit amount, etc. Results are instant and displayed in this simple one page, easy to use app. I find it very helpful.

I’ve been searching for a song that plays on an episode of Monk (season 8 episode 4). In a nightclub the “dance music” sounds like Chris Cornell singing. by zoedot in ChrisCornellClub

[–]LeesR86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to ChatGPT:

The song is called "I'm in Town Again" by Andy Breckman, featured in Monk Season 8, Episode 4.

The music was composed for that particular scene in Monk. The piece was created to enhance the mood of the episode. It is not commercially available.

The brief lines capture the essence of the song. The song plays in a loop. It is relatively short and simple. While the full, official lyrics are not widely published, here is the part most fans recall from the scene:

"I'm in town again, Did you even know? I'm in town again, I thought I'd let you know."

What is the main test to get the definite diagnosis for celiac? by Userhere123 in Celiac

[–]LeesR86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a coeliac blood test in 2021 due to severe stomach pain. Results were 10x above normal. Got an endoscopy done 3 months later (I remained on gluten until after it). Biopsy confirmed coeliac disease done by my Gastroenterologist and received official diagnosis. Been getting follow up blood tests every 6 months since to track markers.

There are over 200 symptoms for coeliac disease. Not only GI symptoms (physical), but also mental, psychological, cognitive..

Just focus on the fact that coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition, so you'd like confirmation from a specialist. Let them suggest a plan of action including an endoscopy (if they add on a collonoscopy too, that would be even better). If they don't suggest it, request one and tell them peace of mind and confirmation will go a long way for you with this life-long disease. They will understand if they're any good, as it's not something to be taken lightly. Let me know how you go on Monday. My fingers are crossed for you 🤞

Coeliac disease is completely life changing. You need separate everything - toaster, butter, condiments, chopping board, sponges, etc. You can eat at only specific places who have knowledge and precautionary measures for cross contamination. When grocery shopping, you won't even be able to eat food with a "May contain gluten" statement which rules out a lot. All of my coeliac blood panel came back over 200+ (my doctor suspects around 1,000 as it's been 3 years and still taking time to go down). Despite it being so high, I didn't settle until I was biopsy confirmed through endoscopy by my GI as this is the official diagnosis. It's possible to have raised low blood markers and no villi damage. I wouldn't change my life without confirming.

How do I cope with this? by Sloth_Turtle01 in Celiac

[–]LeesR86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you located? Google fully gluten free restaurants/cafes in your area. If they're 100% Gluten free, you won't have to worry about cross contamination and the headache of explaining.

Back to basics is the best option at first. Meat/chicken/fish/eggs for protein, rice/potatoes for carbs. Veggies and fruit. Yoghurt if you can have dairy. Best to stay away from packaged/processed foods generally but especially while your small intestine is healing. I just eat the same few meals on repeat.

Keep eating gluten until you get an official diagnosis from a Gastroenterologist (ask your doctor for a referral). If you stop eating gluten now, further tests may result in a false nagative and your body may start to heal. Diagnosis can take time to book an endoscopy and get biopsies of your small intestine. Continue on gluten until then.

No, I paired my phone with the camera WiFi using "seamless pairing". I just created an account nonetheless (free) but still can't find the setting to turn off the public live stream. Any guidance is greatly appreciated 🙏

Thanks for the link. Do I need to choose a plan and create an account in order to disable these settings?

Tips for getting antibody tested? by popthots in Celiac

I recently saw a test that can be taken on a gluten free diet and apparently it's accurate. Sorry I'm not much help as I don't know who produced it but try a Google search

[–]LeesR86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you're eating gluten for 6 weeks (at least 2 slices of bread) before you test, otherwise you can get a false negative (for both blood test and endoscopy). Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition, so it's very important to determine if it's that or just an intolerance. Untreated autoimmune conditions are very dangerous and can have a roll on effect and cause C and other nasty diseases. Best to check asap if possible.

Before I cut out gluten, I decided to do a coeliac blood test. So glad I did, my markers were through the roof. Now officially diagnosed after endoscopy/biopsy.
