A Gluten Update

Hi everone! My mom is doing very well and we expect her home tomorrow! On the topic of gluten......I made the cakes! I actually made them into little mini cupcakes, made buttercream frosting and topped each with a cherry. I did add the cherry yogurt, which was a nice touch!

Anyway, we did have a house of girls and their mothers, and they ate the cupcakes like crazy. They were surprised when I told them they were wheat free!!!! I also took one to my mom in the hospital. We all know how bad hospital food is! :( And she really loved them. When I told her they were gluten free she actually said, "Well if you can make stuff like this to eat, your going to do just fine." :D

Needless to say, I was very happy! I'm thinking my mom was so grouchy the other day because she was not feeling well, and not telling us. But I do have hope, hope that she will be supportive after all. I have found it quite challenging to be gluten-free at the hospital, since all the vending machines are full of junk!!!!! But, I have done it so far!

Well, I only have a little while before evening visiting hours start and I head back to the hospital, but I wanted to take the time to tell all of you that I really do take your advice and I have found it extremely helpful!!! :D

Thanks-

Lollie

Mothers are like that - always keeping you guessing. Sounds like she's doing better. I hope she's in a good hospital. My mother keeps offering me food from her pantry - forgetting that after 9 years I still can't eat what she keeps in stock. Oh well. I guess they just can't see us as any different from before celiac disease.

I feel like I am missing something. Which cakes did you make Laura?

I am so thrilled to hear all the great news Lollie!!! I have been wondering how your mom was doing since last night.

And I'm so happy to hear how the baking turned out. Next time they'll be begging you to make those cupcakes :)

Like you said, maybe she was just crabby because she didn't feel well. Whatever it was, it seems she's back in your corner now.

I'm so greatful for your good news.

Your so lucky to have a second chance with your Mom. :)

I also believe, like you, she wasn't feeling well that day and wouldn't tell you.

Also when i made the comment about agreeing when you said she was worried 'about who would take care of her' before her heart attack..I wanted to share that with my mom-- and I think yours-- after losing your Dad. ..she might be really scared. I know now my mom was and wouldn't voice that..just got 'grouchy' so heads up Lollie, and enjoy your second chance with your mom.

Hug to you and thanks for the up date.

Russia- the cupcakes were suggestions from JKMUNCHKIN from an earlier post! She suggested them to show people that gluten-free is good, and it worked!

Judyin Philly- Thanks for your words. I think it's easy to get so wound up in your own problems/life, that you lose site of others. I felt really bad that day, but my mom has since confessed, she hadn't been well for days, but hadn't wanted to worry me. I miss read her "grouchy" as meanness. I will be more careful in the future to try and keep in mind she has alot going on too. I do feel like this is a second chance, I will not waste it!

Thanks for the concern. FYI they kept her in ICU because they are changing up her meds and need to monitor her on them. I really miss her. They have very limited visiting hours and no phones. I hope they move her to a normal room, so I can at least see her.

I'll keep ya'll posted!

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
