I was driving to the store tonight to get my piglets some milk (all four kids devour milk!!!! I need a cow in the backyard) Anyway, I was kinda half listening to the radio when I hear "Do you sell gluten-free and soy free ________" (didn't hear the name of the product due to my shock and trying to reach to turn up the radio). Anyway, the commercial goes on to say "then Microsoft Software for Small Business is right for you."

A Microsoft commercial mentioning gluten-free! YEAH! We are becoming more mainstream!!!!! (Probably someone who works for either Microsoft or the advertising company who thinks up their commercials has celiac disease and has pushed to get this mentioned......) YEAH!

Hugs.

:D yea!

I'm so glad that more people are learning about celiac disease. Our local grocery store (Superstore) is actually offering gluten free cooking classes once a month. I haven't gone yet becasue I have to work on the nights they offer them, but I am so impressed!

Yeah, but the good thing about being mainstream is that there will be more gluten-free choices for foods and they will be available in mainstream stores...... :D

Yes, in this case mainstream is good! (don't worry, I'll never tune out the drummer that I march to). I was so very very surprised to find a small shelf of gluten-free items in my local grocery store. We're a small town, and the chain only has four stores or so in the state of Missouri!!!!!! YEAH!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
