To the members of this forum, the administrators of the this website, and the moderators I would like to say thank you from deep within my heart.  ALL of YOU have played a major role either directly or indirectly in helping me heal both physically and mentally.  I am BLESSED beyond belief to have access to this forum.

 

Some of you have invested time in lifting me up, sharing experiences, helping me correct some perceptions to make sure my diet is fine tuned, and made me feel like I am not alone in this journey.

 

Even when I don't post, just being able to read others comments has helped me so many times understand something strange that my body has done.  I get worried, find a post that addresses that exact issue, adjust, and move on.  This is my birth month and this time last year I really didn't know if I would see it.

 

I am still trying to work some things out but have came so far.  Your time has not been wasted on me, I TRY everyday to do the things I need to do to be healthier.  With my gluten-free diet in place I am now concentrating on bone, muscle, and tendon health.  I have kicked coffee, soda, and alcohol to the curb in an attempt to accelerate my bone health.

 

Anyhow, again, thanks to all of you for...  Being you!

It is so uplifting to hear a positive story.  If only people realized how much of their health lies in their own hands and actions, like you apparently have discovered.  Good job and I must say that the ability to kick out coffee and booze for your bones has me in amazement at your self control.  I also am fighting back on the bone issue but ditching coffee and red wine is not something I look forward to.  There are safe amounts and that's what I stick to......very little.  If that doesn't work, then I may have to go this road also.  

 

Good luck to you as you continue your road to optimal health!   :)

Thanks for the support and well wishes.  Trust me, I'm still trying to shake some aches and pains but am working on it.  I get strength from you all, my family, my girlfriend, and my church family/daily devotions.  I have been consuming too many sugary carbonated drinks, and then throw on top of that coffee with sweetened creamer and then the occasional adult beverages--it's just too much.  We will see how it goes.  WIsh me luck!  I just had my follow up labs completed and am waiting for results.  I even had them throw in a 24 hour urine to keep a finger on the pulse of my kidney health.  Stay tuned--I'm sure I will need someone to help me make sense of it all.

 

Happy Monday!

      Refractory celiac disease

      By Grahamsnaturalworld · Posted

      Ok, thanks for the advice, the only advice I've had that's made sense after 21years since my slight symptoms all my life turned into nasty symptoms 21 yrs ago and around 50 gp's and specialists all chasing the symptoms and not looking for the cause, after 9 years of misery I discovered my symptoms matched celiac disease and a blood test proved anti bodies to gliadin but it was too late it has changed into r.c.d. thanks again.

      Welcome to the forum, @QueenBorg! Just for the sake of clarification, your desire to avoid gluten is connected only with your dx of fibromyalgia and not celiac disease, correct?

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      Thanks for the reply. I’ll call Colace to be sure.  I was just wondering if anyone had already gone through this:) I have not seen any gluten-free labeling on the package but I know that doesn’t mean it’s not gluten-free. The labeling is more of a comfort thing for me.  Do you think I need to worry about cross contamination if they say no gluten ingredients?  I’m so strict with being gluten-free but realize many manufacturers may have cya statements and the products are safe   Will look into Phillips as well. The surgeon recommended Colace and to add MiraLAX if needed so I actually need to get both as he says one of the worst things is to get constipated post surgery.

      Thanks for the information. I will definitely be doing a lot more investigating in the future!

      symptomatic ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Living or working in environments where gluten exposure is a constant risk can be incredibly challenging, especially when neurological symptoms are involved. For those with celiac disease or severe gluten-related disorders, airborne gluten (like flour dust in kitchens or shared workspaces) can trigger indirect exposure through inhalation or cross-contact, though true celiac reactions typically require ingestion. However, non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or wheat allergy can sometimes cause airborne-triggered respiratory or neurological symptoms (e.g., headaches, brain fog, or even seizure-like episodes in rare cases). Your focal seizure could stem from chronic inflammation, vagus nerve irritation, or neuroglial activation if accidental ingestion occurred—but it’s also worth exploring PTSD-related responses if anxiety around exposure is severe. Many with celiac report delayed neurological symptoms (hours to days later), making it hard to pinpoint triggers. Since your family isn’t gluten-free, shared kitchens may pose risks (e.g., crumbs, toaster use, or cookware residue). Suggestions: Workplace Safety: If airborne flour was a factor, request accommodations (e.g., ventilation, PPE) under disability protections—though proving causality is tough. Medical Follow-Up: Push for neurological testing (EEG, MRI) to rule out other causes, and consider a gluten-free household trial to see if symptoms improve. It’s unfair you were let go without clearer answers. Keep documenting symptoms and exposures.
