I just want to be the first to actually start a thread thanking all the helpful members that usually post a reply back within miniutes if not days to all us newbies that are either just starting to explore their symptoms or are reaching a diagnosis.

Many of us turn to this board in hopes of some kind of answer or at least guidance.

I'm sending "big-ups" to Jnkmnky, KatiUSA, Nantzie,Darlindeb, Darkangel, Rachel--24, Jen2005, Nini and anyone else I may have missed that posts a helpful and speedy reply. You know who you are! :D

I know it can be tiring posting to so many newbies that come and go...but all of you show a range of dedication and love that goes above and beyond Celiac and all it's symptoms.

One thing's for sure, I am not gratitude-intolerant! Hee,hee,hee... :rolleyes:

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Erik D.

I am a new to Celiac also. My husband is actually the Celiac and we know what you are going thru. He gets very frustrated with all the hurry up and wait with the doctors. We find a lot of comfort and support on this message board. Its nice to know you aren't alone.

Thank you Erik! That was a very thoughtful gesture. :D

I'm still pretty much a newbie myself. I've just somehow managed to aquire quite a bit of knowledege about celiac disease in the short time I've been gluten-free. It was only 3 months ago that I was clueless and scared and this board helped me out tremendously. People like Kaiti, Nini, Matilda, JnkMnky, gf4life, Jenvan and others were the ones who really helped me out and I'm grateful for that. :)

I suppose I've been here awhile, though I have been remiss in my celiac-ing duties these past few months. :unsure:

Same here celiac3270! I have just been hanging back here lately. I guess we all tend to do that sometimes. Oh well right :)

Were you on here when we had the old board?? Before it changed formats? I can't remember. I think you were..... OH well that was a couple of years ago :) time flies huh!

Right on, Erik! I'm new to the board as well and would also like to say thank you. It's nice to be in contact with fellow celiacs who truly understand what I am going through. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement! I hope someday I can offer you guys some advice as well :)

Somebody should throw Richard (lovegrov) a big thanks -- he always seems to come in with a quick three line response and quell any uncertainty!!!

Thanks Richard!

Erik - you are absolutely right. It is way past time to thank all of our friends who have taken their time to research and post information.

celiac3270, your name was omitted from the original list of writers. With your wealth of knowledge, I would have never guessed that you were a 14 year old boy. You are wise beyond your years.

Thank you everyone for your help and support!

I would also like to offer my sincere appreciation for all the advise that I have received here. It has helped me in my struggles to find out what was wrong with me. Thanks to everyones experiences and posts I found the courage to stand up for myself with doctors and seek out the answers that I had been searching for for the past 10 years.

My tummy, etc. THANKS you all very much :)

I'm a newbie, too. I guess I'm just a little too free with my opinions... :rolleyes:

And I've done a ton of research since I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in '99. I have a library of digestive health books. When your doctors tell you there's no hope, you have to strike out on your own for answers.

I would like to send out one more BIG thank you and that is to the Admin (Scott) because without him this board would not exsist and I would imagine alot of us would still be sick without the support and advice of the people here.

I think that everyone deserves a big thank you :) Many people put in a lot of voluntary time into this site and helping others. I'm sure we have all learned valuable and important information from others on this site, myself included. I don't know what I'd do without this site sometimes. So thanks to everyone :D

Yes!!!!! Thank you everyone!!!! Even some "newbies" who want to figure it out with me!!! :D

I really do find SO MUCH COMFORT IN THIS FORUM! You all understand me, and though family and friends in my life care about me, I'm sure, they don't really KNOW what I'm going through and they are just as frusterated as me because I AM NOT THE SAME PERSON WHEN I'M SICK! And I'm sure you all of you feel bad for the people in your life as well sometimes when you can see that just because WE are the sick ones, doesn't mean we are the only ones suffering. This site helps me "get back to myself" because it let's me know I'm on the right track and in turn, I am a little bit more sane to the people in my life every day!

SO THANK YOU! I REALLY DO LOVE THIS WEBSITE and of course the caring people who make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jessica, I wasn't here for the old board, but I joined shortly after (maybe two months after?) the formation of the "new" board.

Absolutely a huge thank you to Scott!!! :D

I realized I forgot to mention someone on my previous list. That person is Tarnalberry....she's always helping people and she also gives out recipes. :D

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting but basically everyone who takes time out of their day to answer questions gets a Thank You!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
