To have such great parents. Yesterday they came to see me, first time they have left the house since the doggie passed away. Well my dad brought me a couple of articles from the paper and a few glut4en free recipes. I was crying like an baby cause they thought of me, and because i know so many on here dont have families that get this disease at all. And yet my parents are the best. They even talked us into going home for the holidays and they are willing to cook the whole meal gluten free and are going to buy new dishes to cook it all in. Of course i have to tell them what they have to buy and stuff, but i just thought it was so wonderful.

I really dont think i would be coping with all of this if it wasnt for my family and the support i get on here.

Im still nervous about christmas eve, since it will be at hubbys sister. She makes a huge spread of mexican foods, like chicken mole, posole, enchiladas and such. She does have crohns so she might be able to make something that i can eat, if not i can make something that i can eat. Or heck i will just drink til im merry and not worry about food, believe me i will need to drink to be with all of that family lol. Just pray i dont tell them how i really feel after everything they pulled when the brother passed away.

They eve got me a hotel room with an kitchen, just in case i do have to cook some of my own food.

Oh Paula, they sounds like wonderful parents. I am glad you have the bond with your parents, there are a lot of people I know who are not close with their parents at all. My mom is like my best friend. I know how you feel about being lucky. :)

They are the best parents any person can have. My mom is my best friend, she was my maid of honor when i got married, people were kinda shocked i picked her, but it was the best choice. I think they are just so happy that i finally found what was wrong with me, cause for so many years i would always get so sick when we had parties or celebrations and i would get so sick at them. I even left my husband to be on the alter cause i was so sick and had to run to the bathroom. I cant wait to renew our vows for our 10th anniversary ad my parents 35th next year.

I'm so jealous. My parents keep trying to get me to reintorduce gluten into my diet "so you will build up a resistance", despite the massive improvements to my health in the two months I've been Gluten-free Casein-free. And even with them seeing what happened when I glutened myself this weekend. :( :(

Hopefully I'll actually stay healty enough to keep a job and can move out soon.

you have great parents, my family well they can pretty much care less if i eat or not, the only one that cookes what i can have is my aunt she has to cook what i can have because i live with her, but my other aunts can give a you know what about me, its always what they want do they ever call me to see what i can have? hell no, i just go to family things just to keep the peace, otherwise i wouldnt be going, dont you just hate when family members ask you "why are you on this diet you dont have to be your fine" in so many words i feel like saying hello stupid im on this diet because i cant have gluten in otherwords NO WEAT OAT BARLY ect and when you tell them for the 100000th time they look at you like you have 2 heads

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

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

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      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?
