I keep going in chat and not finding anyone but me to talk to. So, tomorrow at 3 pm central, be there if you can.

 

Subject:  Coping with Celiac Disease.   Whatever about it.

 

Edited, because I need to take the children to gym at 1, although, if I can I will check at 1 since I made the error.  I also can't change the subject.

I don't do well with the chat feature....but someone save me a cupcake -- which I will carefully freeze for when I get such treats back...hmmm.. i wonder how those freshly baked bagels from mariposa bakery in sf are doing in deep freeze? 

 

Sorry Diana - Shroomie and Karen mentioned sweet treats and my mind went wandering.....

I better just have water  and there isn't too much chance of cross contamination?  Go ahead and make your favorite cupcakes, though and (Barring discussion about it) I will never have to know!  I just got a recipe for cupcakes, I printed it off, and expect that I will be able to use it one day.

 

Lisa, and whoever else is having thoughts about sweet treats.  It is okay mentioning it just now.  Sweet treats aren't even sounding good.

 

If anyone cares to talk by Skype some day.  I have it, but need my children to help me with it!  I hope it wouldn't be urgent.

 

I have some strawberries Perhaps we could share those?

I got out of the gym.  I will plan to be there at both 1 and 3 pm central time.  If nobody is there, I will leave after 15 minutes.

 

And yes 1pm Pacific.

Yes, four of us did.  I recommend the idea of posting a "meeting" like this in the future.  Having a certain topic could be a good thing.  Having a super-sensitive group, or decades undiagnosed group, or possibly a group of people home during the day could be fun.  A  question time for Newbies, perhaps?  I am not volunteering for that one.  I think I would scare everyone away with my current can't eat list.    My personal favorite might be a group that comes from an alternative medicine group!

 

I am still looking for Dr. Phil, in order for him to tell me that my symptoms are all in my head and I can return to normal diet.  After all, I have only had 3 doctors confirm my celiac!  Somehow, I doubt that will happen for me.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
