I just want to thank everyone who posts and shares on each & all of the categories in this forum. I have learned so much from all of you, and have been given the strength and motivation to begin and continue my gluten-free lifestyle. I used to be skeptical of things of this nature -- thinking it was just a place to "whine". Boy, was I wrong. I am amazed that I learn something each time I read through a thread. Whether we have communicated or not, I want you to know how much I appreciate your sharing your stories, advice, recipes, coping strategies . . . whatever it may be. It has made a big difference in my attitude toward my disease and in my life. G-d bless you all.

After reading the above...I am certain no offense was intented. Perhaps a simple typo.

We are grateful that we have the benefit of this wonderful site that has been literally, a life saver for many of us. I, too, would like to express my gratitude to all the many that have responded to my posts with question that they have already answered to others that preceeded me.

I, every day, read the posts and add my two cents when I feel I can do it safely and supportively. We are all struggling, if we were not, we would not be here. So, we struggle together and make our way.

Maybe some day, I will be as wise as those who have helped me.

Some people don't write Gods name out fully because it is too special. They simply took out the "o."

I am glad you found help, tiredofdoctors!!!

Hi Tired,

I'm glad you found this site helpful, it truly is a wonderful place filled with a lot of information. I believe if it wasn't for this site I would still be suffering on a daily basis and still being told it was IBS as my blood work was always negative for Celiac.

Take care and God Bless you too! :)

If I remember right, in the Jewish tradition (I think?) God's name is considered so holy that you're not supposed to say (or write) it out loud. So when a person is writing about God, they spell it G-d. That way they don't break that rule, but still everybody knows what is meant.

Hopefully I got at least some of this right.

But back to the original content. I'd like to second tiredofdoctors. This is an amazing place. I've never learned so much about something in such a short amount of time. I'm so glad to have found this board.

:D

I am Jewish and that is true. We write G-d instead of the full form. G-d in full is too holy.

Great, I am truly glad this issue is over........now we can get on to other things.

Thanks to our Jewish friends on board (not-non- religious friends) that easily cleared up an SMALL issue.

We are all bonded here by a common infliction. We come from all walks of life and religion has no place here. I do feel stongly that this forum should be dedicated to the issues that it has been dedicated to...information and support for those inflicted with Celiac Disease.

Thanks for letting me vent. This is a small pet-peeve of mine.

Hi TiredofDoctors!!

I agree totally with you. This board has been a godsend for me also. Without it, I would still be sooooo in the dark about celiac disease because I have learned more here than 50 doctors could have told me in person. But more importantly, I have found friends here that I am so thankful for and consider myself very lucky for knowing them.

Remember, 6 months from now when you are an "old pro" at celiac disease, you are going to be one of the ones people are going to be thanking profusely for sharing your knowledge...... That is what it's all about, people helping people....

Hugs.

Karen

It's okay, don't worry.....Just is a simple mis-communication/or reaction. Keep us with you. We are alll one BIG Family here. We could start a thread about Theology, Sex and Politics............. wouldn't that be interesting. Think that we better stay where we are. Made some good friends here, don't want to go there.

Keep posting, we are all here.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
