  Celiac disease is the great masquerader in digestive disorders | SavannahNow.com
You are quite correct that celiac disease can masquerade as irritable bowel syndrome.
While irritable bowel syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion (generally all tests are negative) in celiac disease, we have specific blood tests that can be helpful in leading to a high index of suspicion.
In summary, certainly celiac disease can masquerade as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohns disease, other digestive disorders, and other immune disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.

  Shergold Masquerader Custom Electric Guitars Review by UkenPlayIt on 2006-06-23
What I Like About The Shergold Masquerader Custom: Great neck, nearly as good as my favourite Washburn, but the pink 'un is perfect and is staying forever, whilst the Shergold is like most vintage guitars, a little variable in its qualities, and may one day depart.
Solid one piece Mahogany body (Nice piece of wood on this one, possibly as the lacquer is clear)but badly finished in the cut outs, and with a profile to the edges like those on a table leg.
Masquerader Custom Summary: A good vintage BRITISH guitar, but frankly not a patch on a cheap modern Chinese or Korean strat, which are not only built better but are CONSISTENT.

The vigor and vibrancy of the African masquerade, the militaristic nature of the Kellenda dance and the mutilancy of the stick fighting rituals, were frowned upon by the ruling class.
The masquerader enters through a hole at the back of the donkey's neck and carries the reins in his hands, thereby creating the illusion that he is its rider.

 Transcriptions Topics: Masquerade and the Web: Issues
Begun by Count Heidegger and continued by Theresa Cornelya, masquerades were wildly popular in part, as Terry Castle establishes in Masquerade and Civilization, because they permitted guests to shed the rigidly constructed identities of the rule-bound eighteenth century in favor of flagrant new disguises.
In these works, masquerade is a temporary but necessary device toward an ending in which much is revealed about the primary characters; this can lead to a celebration and marriage, as in Marriage a la Mode, or to a state as confusing as masquerade itself, as in Fantomina.
Although the masquerades are quickly discovered, this scene shows the male lovers to be fools because they fail to recognize their lovers in disguise; and gives the women agency to openly express and act upon their sexual desires in ways that they are otherwise prohibited from engaging in earlier in the play.

 The African, and Spiritual, Origins of Carnival
As in the carnival itself, separation must be drawn between the mask and the masquerader.
Most societies also have the idea of the masquerade or the costume in one or another form, whether in the theater of social or religious ritual, the theater of the stage or drama, or the theater of the street or parade.
We also need to focus on the differences between the European and African cultural expressions that the Europeans call carnival, that the Africans call something else, which from a New World African perspective appears to be lost, but which, in the abstract, is a form of theater of the street...

The masquerader is regarded as a personification of Sande power and knowledge, on both a political and religious level.
Sande masquerading will introduce you to the concept that art is often actively used and is meant to be part of a larger activity, when it is worn during performance or ceremony.
Considering the fact that the masquerade represent their power and spirit of the Sande association, why do you think the identity of the performer is a secret and that every inch of her body is kept hidden?

Skeptics such as aviation journalist Philip J. Klass take exception to Hynek's confidence and point to cases published by his own center, cases which were solved only by strokes of unexpected luck on the part of researchers.
The result is that many (if not, as skeptics claim, all) of the official UFOs on the list of unsolved cases are still camouflaged IFOs.

The challenge of mobility in mas is to transmit the movement of the performer to his apparel, to magnify it, and see it articulated in the far reaches of the structure, yards away from the body.
As mas is performed to music, the essential movement of the masquerader is his dance.The greatest kinetic potential, then, is to base the mobility of the costume on that movement, so that the mas expresses the dance, and the rhythm of the music can be read high in the air.
As his feet step, the splashes wave and ripple and dance.
