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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
