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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
