I don't even know if it's a specialty drug or just a new brand name drug. It's Savella, which is technically for fibro but we're going off label. My doc says more than half his patients he gives it to can't tolerate it, because it makes them so nauseous they can't eat. (So far so good for me.) But for the few it helps the results are breathtaking. I'll try just about anything at this point. I'm trying to avoid a 5 day hospital stay for ketamine. :ph34r: But at the same time, I want to preserve what function I have left in my left hand while I can. :)

 

:ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :ph34r:Savella :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

 

Proceed with caution!

 

That is the wonder drug that the Fibromyalgia Expert at UCSD trialed on me when I was dx'd Fibro 7 months after Celiac Diagnosis.

Was to titrate up in thirds....

did not make it past the first third

 

Of course no meds have ever worked properly in this f$#%ed up system o' mine.

 

Hope it works for you...but do be careful.

Oh, I'm aware of how awful this drug is. Could make me sicker than a dog. Could cause liver damage. Could do this, that or some other crap. And yet, my next best option is a ketamine treatment. I'm willing to throw as much crap at the barn wall as I can to see if any will stick before going to ketamine. If Savella is scary, the type of ketamine treatment I would get is the stuff of nightmares.

Going to California Pizza Ktichen!

 

Hah, I started something. lol

 

I almost went there but I love the pizza down at Malawi's and wanted to try again. Turns out my husband's favorite local pizza joint closed. Tragic because they had the best pizza in Utah. At least he has lots of options though and found something he liked.

Oh, I was gonna say we stopped by the grocery store and picked up a 12 pack of Vanilla Cream soda. (generic store brand, but it's incredibly good) Since we don't drink we're calling this our beer and pizza night. :lol:

Pizza all around....

 

Went for a 2 hour drive to get the only gluten free pizza I can have, the ones I make myself are really not that good.  We got four pizzas all together.  One for daughter-in-law (taco pizza), one for me (ground beef and green olives) 1 for Hubs (pepperoni and green olives) and brought one home for my son.

I really want to try the california pizza kitchen now that they do gluten-free right.  Do they use the same prebought crust as a lot of other places?  The closest one is an hour away by m rheumatologists office, and I go monday, so I will probably go in and eat if I have time.

I don't know where they get the crust.  I think  all CPKs get the same crust.  I know some chains buy crusts or buns locally.  I think the crust is pretty good for a gluten-free crust.  There are only 4 choices - pepperoni, Margarita, BBQ chicken & spinach and mushroom.  I think you can also get a regular cheese pizza, too.

Made mint jelly today with chocolate mint. So good! What I want for supper is to eat toast and jelly until I'm sick, but I don't think that is a reasonable plan. So, sticking with the original plan, we'll have a pork tenderloin and some sort of veggie type objects. Maybe I'll see if I can find a salad on sale.

Just tried making a fake pizza last night using a gluten-free tortilla as the crust. It certainly wasn't pizza as I remember it but it was super easy, and the tortilla wasn't so bad because I really don't like gluten-free bread of any type. Because it was thin, I didn't notice the flavor so much.

The best part was that it only took about 10 minutes from the time I started to being able to eat, despite that the tortilla started out frozen. Add some spaghetti sauce and some grated cheese, seven minutes in the oven (375), and I was eating - so rare to have a quick meal these days.

I will definitely do this again, but am kicking myself for not adding some black olives or bell pepper, both of which I have in the house, though it would have added 5-10 minutes to my prep time.

I think the only downside is that the "crust" is so thin that you pretty much have to eat it with a knife and fork.

I love Bonefish grille !! We went Saturday....chilean sea bass with mango salsa, jasmine rice and their new side which was a zucchini/tomato ratatouille type thing (glad they dumped the chickpea thing). The server was great. She asks "want me to check and make sure that's gluten-free? the district manager is back there."... well, sure. thanks so much .... and please bring me another Bombay Sapphire on the rocks with olives on your way back, you sweet girl. :)

 

I skipped the creme brulee this time (I know what am I nutz?)

Our Bonefish has told me twice that that zuchinni thing isn't gluten-free. The waiter last night said it probably is but this kitchen is probably over careful about things that aren't on the gluten-free menu. A bit lazy at thinking for themselves, maybe? That's Ok. I LOVE asparagus!

I do too. I would probably eat asparagus every day if i could lol.... but she said the asparagus was "very thick and chewy tonight"...lol..

I appreciated her honesty. I would never venture off the gluten-free menu myself, but she guaranteed it was after checking in the kitchen with the big guns

people--and I had no issues with it.

I'm trying to dump some lbs...and the hubs sends me this. (he is "ice cream man"--our friends gave him  that nickname lol)

He makes me laugh. He thinks he is giving me a subliminal hint to break out the ice cream maker. Subtle eh?

We have a great vanilla bean ice cream recipe that can be a base for 'add-ins", but this looks good too.

Just sharing the idea....especially for those who need some fatter  butt cheeks.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community forum, @Anmol! There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be administered when diagnosing celiac disease and it is normal that not all of them will be positive. Three out of four that were run for you were positive. It looks pretty conclusive that you have celiac disease. Many physicians will only run the tTG-IGA test so I applaud your doctor for being so thorough. Note, the Immunoglobulin A is not a test for celiac disease per se but a measure of total IGA antibody levels in your blood. If this number is low it can cause false negatives in the individual IGA-based celiac antibody tests. There are many celiacs who are asymptomatic when consuming gluten, at least until damage to the villous lining of the small bowel progresses to a certain critical point. I was one of them. We call them "silent" celiacs".  Unfortunately, being asymptomatic does not equate to no damage being done to the villous lining of the small bowel. No, the fact that your wife is asymptomatic should not be viewed as a license to not practice strict gluten free eating. She is damaging her health by doing so and the continuing high antibody test scores are proof of that. The antibodies are produced by inflammation in the small bowel lining and over time this inflammation destroys the villous lining. Continuing to disregard this will catch up to her. While it may be true that a little gluten does less harm to the villous lining than a lot, why would you even want to tolerate any harm at all to it? Being a "silent" celiac is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing in the sense of being able to endure some cross contamination in social settings without embarrassing repercussions. It's a curse in that it slows down the learning curve of avoiding foods where gluten is not an obvious ingredient, yet still may be doing damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. GliadinX is helpful to many celiacs in avoiding illness from cross contamination when eating out but it is not effective when consuming larger amounts of gluten. It was never intended for that purpose. Eating out is the number one sabotager of gluten free eating. You have no control of how food is prepared and handled in restaurant kitchens.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!
