I am so sorry about your diagnosis but so glad it's in the early stages. Hang in there with your treatment and keep us updated.

My Nan's name was Bonnie :) I wish you well and lots of "good" Bonnie.

"The name Bonnie has two meanings:

1. It is derived from the Scottish word "bonnie" meaning "pretty, attractive". The Scottish word is derived from French "bon, bonne" meaning "good".

I've been thinking about you a lot since I read your post and I'm so glad that you've had such positive news. Good luck to you xx

wow Bonnie, it sounds like a rough road ahead! I had no idea they could build a stomach out of intestines :unsure:

Best healing thoughts and prayers to you, and wishes for a speedy recovery. {{{hugs}}}

and if I were you, I'd think about suing the doctors that told you it's all in your head. Had they taken you seriously, it's possible there would have been less damage and you may not have had to have your entire stomach removed. :blink: At the very least, send them a copy of your dx, and tell them to be more diligent in future so the same doesn't happen to someone else :(

Wonderful news that it's in the early stages and there is treatment for you. You advocated for yourself and got answers quickly.

You can beat this. Cancer is treatable these days.

Do everything you can to support yourself nutritionally too. I started juicing lots of green veggies and then adding apples, carrots and oranges to flavor it up. It is helping me a lot.

Hang in there and keep posting when you need us.

Just a reminder- Juice your greens yourself...the greendrinks in the stores(even the healthy ones) have gluten in them...their one of the few health drinks that do!

Hang in there! :D(naked juice, green machine,,ect.,ect.)

      Did they ever tell you specifically which vitamins would interfere with which tests? Fermented pickles source of thiamine  and other B-vitamins, The fermentation process with lactic acid bacteria increases the nutrient value.   Colonies of beneficial bacteria can help crowd out the the bad SIBO. Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus?  Atopic Dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis share symtoms and atopic dermatitis patients have higher risk of dermatitis herpetiformis.  dermatitis herpetiformis is a symptom of Celiac diagnosis. When I had the carotid artery stent, the hospital put down "wheat allergy" for the food service.  I guess allergy puts the fear of god in them more than the misunderstood Celiac Disease.  Whatever keeps me alive in this world.

      You are correct.  Same place.  I have used their site for so long and have it bookmarked.  Still living in past.  Our support group was affiliated with them.

      Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®?  Their website is not gig.net.  Maybe it was at one point?  I am new to all of this, but did find their website here:  https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1

      @Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten.  Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8.  Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification.  Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3820067/

      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the vast majority of people with celiac. Celiac disease specifically involves an immune reaction to gluten peptides found in wheat, barley, and rye. Corn is classified as gluten-free because its proteins do not activate that same immune pathway in most individuals. Although corn intolerance is very real, the explanation about the proteins being the same is oversimplified to the point where it's not accurate.
