i was talking to my mom today about celiac and once again realized how grateful i am to be able to come on here and get info and help and support from all of you. i have a friend who has been diagnosed with celiac for 8 years---her daughter is a friend of my twins. because of her, i already knew a fair amount about celiac and her daughter helped explain celiac to the other kids at school. she doesn't go on any web sites, so some of her info is not quite up to date. one of my girls commented the other day that i seemed to know more about celiac than my friend who has had if for a long time. LOL!!! probably because i come on here so much!!! i also have to bake from scratch because we don't have alot of money and i have 3 celiac children to feed---she is able to buy mixes. sometimes i think that me knowing her, and her telling me so much about celiac was a blessing for me that was preparing me for what was ahead-----i hope i don't sound too corny!

That sure doesn't sound corny to me! I feel so blessed that i had 2 different neighbors (one with Celiac ) who suggested my 6 week problem with explosive D might be C -- and in 4 days I was doing better! And have been ever since - so I definitely count that a fantastic blessing that I didn't have to suffer for years of much worse symptoms before realizing what my problem was. I still have not gone for testing - but continuously learn from this message board -- and the celiac site. I know I should be doctoring and getting tested but hesitate to go gluten challenge -or even start sharing with my Dr. -- (who I never in 2 years , have felt quite on the same wave length with :) (Maybe I need to change Dr's?) Anyway - corny or not - don't hesitate to share your feelings on this board!

I was very fortunate in that I also only had to suffer for about 6 weeks with D before I went to my gp. He had me cut out gluten, two weeks later on my follow-up, I didn't have anymore D; he pronounced me Celiac, go and eat gluten no more. End of story with him - 9 years ago. I've learned more about Celiac from this board than I had in the previous 9 years. I do mention my celiac to my current dr. He doesn't see the need for any more tests. The fact that the diet challenge was good enough for my previous gp was good enough for him. But he did run a series of blood work just to see how I was doing. Everything relatively normal, but my cholesteral is getting up there. That was it. And anytime you're not comfortable with a dr and you have the option to change, it is your perogative, and your health. Just my two cents.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
