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. :)

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!

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
