Finally A Fun Work Event

Every month on the last Thursday we have a staff meeting where they provide water and Subway Cookies. The last one I went to I brought some Whole Foods Pecan cookies, which were ok, but kinda dry and I was sad. This time I have Kinnikinick chocoalte chip cookies.

I have this engineer guy that I work with who I joke with alot, I'm just one of the guys, etc. I've been talking to him ( and everyone else) incessantly about Celiac.

I go into the meeting and go to sit down next to him. He is sitting there eating a cookie and starts making num num noises and eating it very ostentatiously ( nobody get mad, its the kind of relationship we have) . I take out my little ziplock baggie of chocolate chip cookies and start eating them in big bites and going mmmmmmmm oooooohhhh mmmmmmmhmmmmm.

He looks at my cookies for a minute and says "oh man those look really good, can I have one?"

Hehehehehehehe. I said no, and finished them, then licked the crumbs out of the bag.

He asked me where I got them when we left.

<maniacal giggle>

I thought it was hysterical, and since every single other work event has sucked, I thought I'd share the fun.

Those cookies are so good its all I can do to keep from eating the whole box.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
