Almost 1 Year, Which Anniversary Should I Celebrate?

Trying to choose which day I get to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with this diagnosis: the date my blood work came back, the day I went gluten-free, the day of my biopsy results confirming it or ... the last time I actually consumed gluten (intentionally or unintentionally)? :D

 

Now, to celebrate a symptom-free anniversary? That might be another year or two... lousy, no good bowels.

Will there be cupcakes?  Then I think each one should be celebrated.

Celebrate each one...then when you get 1 year symptom free do a big celebration!!  I look forward to that one too...not sure how long, but I'm hopeful.

There will be cupcakes! I think I should just celebrate every day for the next month :)

I'm not sure that would help me become symptom-free, however...

I didn't actually do a celebration, persay (but what a great idea!) but I did post a facebook status on July 5, 2014...which is one year after I got my results in. In the facebook status, I basically was remarking on how far I have come in the past year and how happy I was to finally understand why I had felt so sick for so long. And that is why I chose that date, because that is the day I finally got an answer. Maybe next year I will actually celebrate. :)

I have a friend that celebrates Birthday Month so no reason you can't celebrate Celiac month :D

^ Ooh, another good idea! Celiac month. I'd get extra spoiled because I was diagnosed in July, and my birthday is in July!   :P  Lol.

Cupcakes - excellent!  I vote celebrate them all! Now that symptom free one... that is a tough one to get to get to.  If you get to that anniversary, celebrate it well.  ;)

 

Congratulations! :D  B)

I think a lot of work and growth occurs when you truly commit to a gluten free life.  Celebrate what dates are important to you...Congrats as you deserve it for you your effort! Cheers! :D

I celebrate the date I was diagnosed.  I cried cause there was finally an answer to why I was so sick and then I cried when I found out what it meant!  Now...I eat G.F. cake.  :D

I can certainly understand the tears... It's such a relief to know what you are up against so you can eat to be healthy. Then being sick for so long when you feel better it's amazing. I have my eye on a flourless chocolate cake recipe for my Anniversary! 

 

Yes, we shall all eat cake! 

:D

I've decided that today, the day that one year ago the doctor called to inform me of my positive blood tests and I stopped eating gluten is my anniversary. It's an appropriate day - SCARY! Boo! Gluten!

 

I don't think I'll be going with my original plan of trying a gluten free pizza from Mellow Mushroom, since it will probably be a big disappointment. Ditto for the gluten free beer. I think I'll just quietly reflect on my year while avoiding gluten, eggs, diary, fresh vegetables and legumes. Maybe I'll watch a scary movie to distract myself! :D

Congratulations on your anniversary! Maybe next year you'll be avoiding less things (I hope I am) and can celebrate that as well. Here's to your continued healing...may the coming year be filled with good health and happy memories!

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues.

Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
