Got some ice cream for hubbs, I don't remember the brand but it was a good one. I made sure there was no HFCS in it or any corn products for that matter. Anyhoo I decided to try some, they were lil pint sized tubs. I ate a half pint. So I waited and waited for the symptoms, usually I get swelling , gas, a run to the rest room or two ,with alot of pain. And guess what? No pain at all!! Nothing!! I noticed that butter was not bothering me. But ice cream?? Yummy!! So does that mean my Villi are healing? Ohhh I am so hoping so! This was so exciting for me!! I Am kinda hoping I get corn back. Because just about everything has corn in it! But if not thats ok! It just adds weight anyway. But I got Lactose back!!! Whoo Hoo!!

I won't go gun ho! But I will enjoy some now and then. Don't want to over do anything! I am testing the waters with corn products. No HFCS but a lil bit of corn product I think is ok. If it bothers me I just won't eat it for a while again. I am so happy with my weight loss! My gut is still swollen some but nothing like it used to be. I hope it goes down more. I have been doing so good on my new lifestyle change. It 's getting easier and easier to eat at parties and such. I am going to Mackinaw Island for 3 days soon. Going to bring a bag of snack goodies with me! LOL I'm sure it will be a Celiacs nightmare I went last year and ate alot of salads. This year I'm gunna test the waters a lil more.

Thanks! Yup going easy :) I went to a restaurant today, Chili's and well got a gluten-free steak with Mashed Potatoes and a nice veggie. Umm it came with a slice of bread on the top. Ugh! They put the bread on the wrong steak. So back it went. I ended out getting my steak and yup it was yummy! Because I was able to put some butter on it! Ohh my! Just a lil bit of gas but other than that I was fine! Unbelievable! A few months ago I was clarifying my butter! Ohhh the simple things in life!

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
