I sincerely doubt that you'll change anyone's mind. I think the best bet for you is to remind yourself that YOU are taking care of YOU the best way you know how. It's their problem if they don't want to open their minds to celiac. They're adults. And when was being a princess a bad thing? (think of the bumpersticker "you say b***h like it was a bad thing!?" I wish you a good time anyhow, and pray for no CC.

Hi C--One Italian girl to another--The only thing you can do is show them how you have everything under control. Just do what you need to do like bring in your own food, check on how they handle it--and OWN the whole thing! It's all in the attitude :D . Hard headed is right--I've got lots of relatives like that! Can't tell them nothing. Anyway, have a wonderful time--so you're going to have to Tivo The Sopranos? :o

DH's family is Italian and I find the best way to deal with them is just ignore their ignorance. Sure I try and educate them (but after they've offered every dessert on the table twice you kinda catch on that it's a lost cause). Then I just laugh my butt off after we leave reliving all the idiotic questions and comments they made during the visit. I am really lucky that DH is one of my biggest supporters helping educate family and friends - so he laughs along with me. I think this past Easter we spent an entire hour car ride home cracking up at the stupidity.

I am so glad that you had such a wonderful time and that your cousin really, really listened to you. Who knows, but you might have helped some of your relatives. I would love to hear about the bouquet - how many did you stomp to get it :lol::rolleyes:

It sounds like a wonderful wonderful day for you (and I'm sure the bride had a good time too). You've turned into quite the ambassador for celiac. And I hope your cuz can fatten you up!! (married?) So when do we plan YOUR wedding? :P

So glad you had a great time--it sounded wonderful :D And BTW, what is that with Italians and "the wooden spoon"? My grandmother used to 'threaten' us with it--but never did anything! ;)

Glad you had a good time...it's about time you have a good time. I am one-fourth Napledon and one-fourth Sicilian (other side is Scotch/German/English-maybe Irish that's questionnable) but I grew up with the Italian side. People look at me weird when I tell them I am part Italian because I have milk colored skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. I definitely recall the wooden spoon. Does anyone remember the older ladies who used to do the "eyes" prayers when someone was sick?

So you caught the bouquet? I don't know if it means automatic get married, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if you tell us you're married within the year. ..I can hear your family now "Yea, but is he Italian?" You're going to have to snag Dr. Fasano for them.....

Oh I [giggle] want to put it on the record; my next hubby is going to be a doctor this time.

He will be a Gastroenterologist -- I can just feel it. [giggle]

Could you see it now?

Think about it -- pretty funny stuff.

Someone who could know you inside and out?

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
