Ode to Celiac

(To the cadence of The Adam’s Family theme song)

 

Constant aches cramps and swelling

Constipation pain and bloating

What’s with the rash and itching?

All I want to do is yak.

 

Losing weight and never feel full

Losing hair by the handful

Can’t think straight and my mind’s dull

What the hell is Celiac?

 

The doctors are so clueless

They tell me to complain less

I feel so very helpless

I may have Celiac

 

Stopped eating grains and gravy

Stay away from booze and coffee

I still can’t handle dairy

I hate this Celiac

 

Finally liking what I’m eating

Gaining weight and finally sleeping

They tell me now I’m healing

I’ll survive this Celiac

whoo whoo! Bravissimo!!

 

 

(also to the tune of Addams Family)

 

Soon, you will feel awesome.

Your health will start to blossom.

Our lot in life's not rotten

To be a Celiac.

 

Your itchies,  fog, and foul poo

and quick runs to the loo-oo..

are almost far behind you.

It's life with Celiac.

 

So stay the course, dear Cootie.

Chin up!  good  attitude-y !

You're rockin awesome doodies!.

You're slayin' Celiac.

 

^_^

i can't believe you may have topped to poop thread - certainly you are Topping the Charts  :D

Brilliant! (and *ping* another piece of the puzzle falls into place - hair loss)

 

you should see my hair, now, katie - compared to what it was (very, very thin hair, itchy scalp and i was basically pulling out what wasn't falling out)  it's now getting an 'underlayer' and is looking and feeling fuller.   hardly any in the shower drain and i'm not pulling a wookie out of my hairbrush every day :)  also, i'm diving into the dye bottle only half as much (very very much less gray - hey.  i'm old lolz)  i used to have to color it every 4-5 weeks and now i can do 2 months, easy.  happy, happy, happy!  ^_^

This reminds me I've had this song stuck in my head for a year... it's to the tune of "I feel pretty" from West Side Story.

 

It's "I been glutened, oh so glutened..." but it's never gone any further.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
