ha ha :) maybe it was me, preaching on the evils of gluten to everyone in the station, and angrily grabbing someone's pizza and hurling it aside to save the person from future organ damage :)

I was at a "Mystic Pizza" in Mystic, Conn., about six years ago. There was a movie of the same name.

As far as somebody throwing it on the subway tracks: This could have been the work of do-gooder that wanted to feed the rats.

My other theory is that an undiagnosed Celiac person "dropped acid", bought a pizza, took one bite, and promptly threw it out. A similar thing happened to someone in the early 1970's, almost 35 years before he had heard of Celiac Disease, lol. He threw it away in the street, though - not the subway.

Sometimes the mind works in "mysterious" ways - maybe with Mystic Pizza, also.

Even BC I would have never ate a pizza that looked like that and it had pepperoni on it which is also a no no in my world.

Perhaps the pizza was trying to get away. I would think someone made it out of paper mache.

LOL!! That is hysterical!!

However on another note, I hate that website. They practically stalk us where I work and are constantly printing false information or spinning things in a negative way.

So I take it you either work for Conde Nast or Radar Magazine. (Is that you, Anna Wintour? I had no idea you were a Celiac! I guess that's why you are so thin!)

The first one : )

No I'm not Anna but she is very petite and thin. To be honest, I've met her on several occassions and she has always been very pleasant.

But seriously, take what you read in these gossip columns with a grain of salt. For starters some of these reporters have no class. At one of the publications I worked at there we had just had one of our staff members pass away of skin cancer at an extremely young age, and they were calling us for comment because they heard our bathroom was messy. C'mon!!!

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
