How Cool Is This?

Man, every parent always wonders what they are in for when they drop off thier child at a trusted day care when the normal teacher not there. Even worse for us with celiac disease-Kids. Well today is a odd day for us because my wife has extra chior practice for the Church Christmas concert, and I had work so needed to leave our son with the childcare at the church. Normaly we plan at least a few extra mins t breif new teachers, even have a full page printed doc for them to refer to if they have any questions, etc etc. He normaly only goes to Sunday school, and twice a week "pre school" there. I do not knwo the staff that works on Saturdays...

Well I saw the teacher and asked if she was familure with my son, and she said "No, but its okay I have Celiac Diseas"

I was speechless, I was not ready for that :lol: I had in my mind all the things to say about it, and what to durring snack time, and etc. I was not at all prepaired for that answer!

This also shows that we are doing a good job getting the word out to the staff there about him, since I did not have to tell her about celiac disease, she knew he had it.

Felt odd to leave there with out the normal speech on it though... like I was betraying my son's care or somthing. :lol:

Oh and get this... She had her son with her, and as I left I heard him say to her "He has celiac disease too? Cool." LOL celiac disease is cool now? Man guess we are the "in crowd" for a change!

It's amazing how many people have celiac. There's so many out there suffering out there that also have it and don't know it. Before I became sick, I never heard of gluten or celiac.

You're very lucky to have found daycare with a celiac caregiver. I'm sure it gives you peace of mind. :)

Well now everyone will want this, so they can be part of the "IN" crowd.

Believe me, I didn't want years of agony to be part of this.

Yep, that is so cool! Not that I think it's great to have celiac disease, but I am so looking forward to the day when it'll be like saying you have diabetes - and get an understanding and/or sympathetic nod instead of the blank stare and endless questions.

Granted, I live in Los Angeles, city of unusual foods and diets, but at a recent moms meeting we had several new people, about 8-10 moms total plus kids, and at least 3 of the families were wheat free :) :) And, we just found out the boy down the street is gluten free. :) :) So now we know where to go if there is an earthquake and all that's handed out are the dreaded MREs, lol....

Vincent - that must have been so relieving! That is beyond cool! As awareness increases and more people are diagnosed w/celiac disease, I think this will happen more and more. :)

      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?

      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/

      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

      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.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
