So I recently just started a job and I love it. On my birthday (the 22nd, and only my 4th day of work) (we celebrated all December birthdays then and it just so happened to be on my birthday) I found out that one of my co-workers also is Celiac, so I talk to him for a while and everyone is like "wow thats really cool that there are 2 people here with this" so I go to work the next day and he brought me cookies that were gluten-free that he had made because I couldn't partake in the cake and cookies the day before. How nice is that??!?!?

That's fantastic! I am fortunate to work with 3 other Celiacs so I understand completely!

That's awesome-my boss's sister is a celiac (although one that cheats frequently :blink: ), so she empathizes a bit. I got a fruit basket for Christmas, when normally I get stuck trying to fake excitement over a fruitcake or a box of cookies. Congrats!

that is awesome! I had to fake excitement over gifts of cheesecake and cookies and such this year... one of my clients though was about halfway through his massage when all of a sudden he realized that I couldn't have the cheesecake he brought and then he felt really bad... I was the one trying to reassure him that it was really ok, I am used to it and it was the thought that mattered...

one good thing, for our office Christmas "lunch", my boss took us all out to lunch, but he let ME pick out the restaurant so that he could be sure that there would be something that I could eat... I thought that was really thoughtful and nice!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.
