Sorry if this is old news to any of you- but it's new to me, so I decided to share.  This is my new favorite website about Celiac Disease.  Lots of information in a concise and easy to read format from real, live, medical professionals.  Must be nice to be a celiac in chicago with this resource!

Ohhh I like it!! It has alot of info in there!! Thanks!! Altho I don't live in Chicago. But it is nice to have some nice sites to send people to when they want to know about Celiac disease. I try and explain but sometimes they still do not get it.

Agreed, Mamaw!   People in this forum are great and so very helpful.  This site is also wonderful for many other reasons.  I also don't feel alone here ...or crazy.  I know I can post about my frustrations and people will understand.  I know I can post some bizarre thing that my body is doing and someone out there has already been-there-done-that. Invaluable feedback.

 

However, if you want to know medical facts, I would suggest going to my new fav website (as opposed to my longtime fav website): What's the medical difference between gluten intolerance and celiac, how to conduct a gluten challenge (how much and for how long), what are the genetic odds that immediate family members also have celiac, etc.  The info is provided by experts in the field and is up to date.  Just the facts ma'am.

anti-soprano because of your post I visited the Chicago site even though I use it often, and just for fun searched "DGP"  They now have this posted:

I got a positive DGP-IgG score but nothing else, and although they kind of dance around the question, it relates the test to celiac instead of gluten intolerance.  I plan on sending this link to family members.

 

Thank you!

I agree, and I think the Univ. of Chicago website is most informative site as well. Here is one I find a close second:

It is authored by a women who has Celiac and happens to be an MD ,some of her children were diagnosed as well.

KarenG, "GottaSki" Lisa and I are always posting links to the U of C website. :)

We also agree...it has the most comprehensive information in one spot.

 

I also like Tricia Thompson and Shelley Case's sites for nutritional information

and the book Real Life With Celiac Disease by Melinda Dennis

and Daniel Leffler.

Excellent Resource--covering dozens of topics written by over 50 celiac specialists.

 

And "the patient celiac" is extremely informative. Jess knows her stuff. And she graciously shares

her knowledge on various celiac-related sites as well as her own.

Yes they are all great Irish Heart , but yet I hang in here :) This is a very nice site!! I do refer to this site if and when people have questions, either they don't understand and I cannot explain , Or don't have time to explain, I just hand them a sheet of paper with the website on it. I just really like to see it from all sides from different people and such , different perspectives , different stories. But having a  site like this where you can talk and get more and more information from, trials , and tribulations. Is wonderful!! Makes me feel I am not alone in this world! And seems so much stuff comes together for me when I read some of the stuff some have to say. I visit other sites , read them , think wow that was a good site!! Then I come in here :)

We do kinda grow on ya, don't we? (like mold)

And we are wicked smart. (ahem, and humble)

:D

seriously, though.....I have always found the advice from real live celiac veterans to be the best resource there is,

next to the celiac specialists.

All of the websites that have been mentioned in this thread have been super helpful for me and my family while I am learning about my recent diagnosis. Thanks so much! I have a background in science so it's lovely to read all the scientific statistic based research as well as personal experiences.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
