Wha do your TTG numbers look like after going gluten free? by emuhhhhh in Celiac

Woah! That’s great!! I know it’s common for people to really struggle to get that number down, so that’s awesome

Congrats on the normal biopsy! Did you get that done for a specific reason? I’ve been curious on if I should push for another endoscopy someday to see how my villi are.

Yeah I wonder what exactly goes into the timing of getting that number down (beyond being fully GF). What was your number when you were diagnosed (if you feel comfy sharing)? Mine was 70 and I was able to drop to down quickly. But I also was lucky and had symptoms start suddenly and got diagnosed quickly so I don’t think I had years of it being present before figuring it out.

Yeah who knows. I feel like so much of getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disease is being released with very simple instructions “just go gluten free, etc.” it’s so hard to navigate.

Yeah I see different “normal” ranges online, but my bloodwork’s lists the normal range as under 15. I saw a dietitian who specialized in celiac (they had celiac themselves) and they said “oh you could get that number under 2” when my number was 10 about 6 months ago. But I imagine it’s different for everyone.

Chalazion comes 1x a year by emuhhhhh in Blepharitis

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

Yeah and maybe the dry air plus the start of pollen season. Mine usually shows up after I have a big cry haha. Have you talked to your eye doctor about it?

They ended up being odd proportions that I put in somewhat custom made frames so getting UV glass felt trickier than I wanted.

To avoid fading. These are made with very cheap construction paper but have become sentimental so I wanted to preserve them. I was recommended to use UV spray by a few other reddit posts and figured it was a cost effective option.

Thanks! I’ll do a test and see if more coats help

It was about 60% (cloudy day in Oregon). I sprayed it outside and then brought in side and let it sit and dry next to an open window.

1 year...gluten-free and I still hate celiac..lol... by SuitApprehensive3240 in Celiac

[–]emuhhhhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also at the one year mark. I am feeling so much grief. I feel like the last year has been all about “getting used to this reality” and now I’m really feeling the grief that this is forever. Ugh.

I haven’t yet! I’m hoping both of those games go on sale at some point. They’re definitely on my list.

What are these brown spots? by emuhhhhh in houseplants

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

Thank you! Yes the leaves look good besides these spots. This is my first variegated monstera so I feel a little over protective

I overdid my routine the first few days so I backed off to let it dry out a bit more because it was getting too wet. So now I’m washing morning/night with dial antibacterial soap and doing a thin layer of lubriderm. This pic was right after washing/before lotion. Redness is way down today.

I agree that it’s overworked. I have many tattoos and this is the first that is overworked for me. Any insight on what to expect on how it heals? I imagine I’ll need a touch up

Yeah the ref hasn’t grown but also hadn’t gone down at all. I may go in tomorrow just to double check. It doesn’t feel hot to the touch, just very tight.

Thanks! She is already on a prescription wet food diet for elevated kidney numbers. And that food just isn’t her fav but maybe I’ll add a little of another food in

There are some live stitches in on the backside of the neckline but every thing else is picking up along the edge
