When I joined this board in June of 04, I was #2166 - and if you look today, there is over 7,800 members on this board. I bet by the end of the year we will be 10,000 strong! I know that is a small number when you look at the whole world, but still, having 10,000 people to visit with about our disease/problems is just amazing!

And just think, this isn't the only Celiac board on the internet! I think a few doctors would have their eyes opened up if they checked these sites out once in awhile. They have no idea how many there are of us!

Christine, you are right! It was really difficult before I had internet. We've only had internet in the Valley for almost 9 years. Before that we had party lines, and you can't have internet on party lines :lol: Now, does that tell you that we are living out in the sticks or what? :rolleyes:

I was all alone for 8 years with Celiac. At the time they thought it was extremely rare .. 1 out of every 10,000, now of course we know different and there are lots of Celiacs to talk to. It's so much easier and much more food than the bare meat, veggies and rice. And of course fresh fruit as there was no way for me to check on manufactures. Come to think of it, it never occured to me to even phone them ... guess I was a little dense in those days :lol:

Anyway ... I for one really appreciate all of you out here in cyber land!!!

This site has been a wonderful blessing for me. People who know what I'm going thru without me having to spend (make that waste) time explaining why certain things are a problem. It's helped my mental health so much - I don't feel like a alien being who got left on the wrong planet at birth. (Surely there is a planet out there that is completely gluten free - or am I thinking of paradise?) :P:P:P

Christine, we are in British Columbia, just the province north of you :D But we live on an acreage 35 miles from the nearest town. However there are a few villages in the valley. We are actually supposed to get broadband service out here by the end of the year, but I'm not holding my breath. :lol: So we are still on slow dial up internet service. But I'm not complaining ... we have internet, which means we have all of you out there! :P

I always include this site when I speak to non celiacs or people who are interesting in knowing more. I tell them to visit Celiac.com and also to read the message board to see what those with Celiac are doing/thinking/living.

Also, I noticed that very often there are annon. or Guests viewing the pages.

We just always had the internet for the boys. I never used the computer much at all. Everything changed when I happened onto this site while looking up an ingredient. At first, I wasen't sure how to even post! I had to ask my son about a bunch of things. But I was so "hungry" for information and the ability to talk to others living with this, that I learned fast! Now, it's a regular part of my day to check in here. You guys are the best! (It's a little frightening, actually, to think of what the past 9 months would have been like without you) ;)

I'm glad this site is here. I would not have known about barley and rye without it, and I would still be sick. I just hope that visitors are able to find the answers to their questions here!

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
