Welcome. Are you just suggesting a topic for the chats?  Or did you have a question?  If you have some specific questions, you might want to make a new thread - maybe the post-dx section?

Hi, I would like to join this support group. I was told by my doctor that I was gluten sensitive. I have fibromyalgia and ibs and other medical issues and really would like to get healthy and need the help and support.

I would love chatting about this stuff.  My wife has become a Dictator in the kitchen.  I don't know what she can eat anymore.   Now she said she can't have bacon!!!! I give up.  Maybe I'll learn about food choices for her.  Good to know there's a chat for this.  I'm on it!

I have never seen a bacon with gluten. Just read the ingredients.

She can eat bacon.  Unless she has another reason like sodium nitrates.

Bacon is fine.  Having recently been diagnosed, I'm learning all this, too - as is my wife.  One of the things you may want to consider is to eliminate gluten altogether - for both of you.  It becomes easier (if it is just the two of you, that is).  Because the other thing you need to worry about is cross-contamination.  That is, she'll need to have her own peanut butter jar, butter/margarine stick or tub, etc . . . this is because if you were to dip into, let's say, a peanut butter jar - spread that on wheat toast (or white toast), and then re-dip the knife - BOOM - that jar is now contaminated because even trace amounts (crumbs) can cause problems.  This has been the hardest part of adherence for me (or I should say - for my wife).  I know - ugh!  Also - worth considering - my GI guy told me that everyone would be better off not eating gluten - because the human body does not do a good job digesting modern wheat / gluten / gliadin.  You may find that you'll feel better, too.  Just my 2 cents.  Good Luck (Boars Head Deli Meat is ok, too . . . but, again, it's the dreaded cross-contamination that you need to worry about (e.g., did they clean the meat slicer from use with other non-gluten meats?)

I'm in the eastern standard time zone.  I am 34 and was diagnosed with Celiac a few months ago.  I've also been diagnosed with Candida and Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth by my holistic physician.  Finally, got the answers to the the root cause of my many health issues that I had for most of my life that all traditional doctors missed.  I am struggling everyday and need all the support I can get!

Hi - me too.  Just 2 months ago - ugh!  A bit older than you - I'm 48.  Probably had Celiac (I bet) for 15 years, easy.  Never even heard of it.  But was taking probiotics during that time.  Interested to hear about your candida and batercial overgrowth.  I've wondered about that myself - reading so much on Celiac in the last 2 months.  It seems so much of functional medicine is so far out in front of this issue, but traditional medicine trails behind (and my doctor is a traditional internist).  Testing, etc . . .

Hey, I'm so sorry I haven't responded sooner.  Life has been crazy and hectic with struggling with all this chronic illness and trying to take care of my very active 13 month old boy!  Yeah, I actually think I've had most of my health issues the majority of my life.  I was very fortunate to find a board certified holistic physician, who is awesome!  I had to go through a lot of testing to get all the answers: standard blood work covered by insurance, ALCAT test (food sensitivities), NutrEval test, and CDSA 2.0 (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis).  The CDSA showed the candida and the SIBO.  I also have a lot of food sensitivities and nutrient deficiencies, which is all common with Celiac.  Hope this info. may help and that you can find a physician to do this testing and get to the root of all your issues.

sounds like you have a great doctor.  I can't get my doctor to even return an email at this point (have only sent him two on the subject).  I wanted to get an MMA and homocysteine test - for B12 - and I get no reply. And my Vitamin D test (that I asked to have done) came back at 28 - which I think is low . . . but he said nothing about it.  OK.  hmm . . . I'm supplementing with D3.

Hello Everyone, 

 

Our first meeting was on Saturday, and it went very well. Thank you to all of those who attended, and please let me know if you wanted to attend, but could not due to a technical issue, or because of the time the meeting was set. We are now working on the schedule for our 2nd meeting, and we should post it soon.

 

If you did attend and have any questions or comments, please share them here, as we hope to improve our future meetings.

 

For those who could not attend, I have attached a transcript of the meeting below.

Darn! Sorry I missed this. Weekends are crazy busy with my kids and all of their activities. 

I can't seem to access the transcript. When I click on the pdf link, I get a message that says I don't have permission to view it.  :(

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment. Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore...

Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.
