The final thing we can lose is our hope. So my special wish/prayer for you is that you don't lose hope. We've been through so much false hope in our lives, so I will be careful not to wish that - just real hope.

WOW...You guys just take my breath away. :(:(:(:(

This is one of the best threads that I've seen on here since I joined in Oct.

WHY, becasue I feel I'm getting to know you all so well. You've shared some really intimate personal parts of your life which allows us all really met our NEW FRIENDS. You know, honestly, some of my dear friends have not been as honest as you guys have been on here.

Sillyak, you have such courage. I admire you so much.

Ursula, you sure I'm not your twin sister...my God, you are so like me....your 'hidden' feelings and what you enjoy doing, and how you miss your 'old life' is so me.

Lynne, I'm coming with Karen and Deb and we are going to 'get you' out of your present FUNK becasue you sure have been able to get me out of mine. You've always helped me see my glass is 1/2 full and not 1/2 empty...

This thread has made me so sad that we really can't afford or feel good enough to travel to the shore somewhere and sit in a house with the gluten-free chef and just 'BE' and get to know each other.

As most of your know, I just returned from 2 weeks in CA that was the 'trip from hell'

I wanted to do a email to my 'contact' list of friends who helped me get mentally prepared for the trip and who have been there for me to ' pick up the pieces' of my tattered self image' after i got back.

After reading your posts here....I've done some real soul searching and learned some really valuable lessons about myself and how i let others opinions of myself affect my perspecive of 'who i really am'.

You know, since my dx, I've really gone on a internal journey and maybe that's what God has intended for me. I was sick for so long and maybe now is the time God says, 'OK, NOW IS THE TIME YOUR READY FOR THIS PERSONAL GROWTH' After 10 years of therapy, you'd think I'd gotten it but .....guess not.

God has chosen to give me a new day to live and enjoy and the SUN is shining...I could get out of bed this am and almost walk a straight line to bath room, with my cane again... :ph34r: but at least i didn't have to use 2 of them...I am not doubled over in pain like I have been for 2 1/2 days....

I am going to count the blessings i have today...not look back but only forward...I'm going to but the trip and past behind me...today is a new day.

Thanks Lynne, Ursula, silly for helping me so much today.

I only hope my prayers for you will help you find some internal peace.

I love you guys so much

Thank you ALL for the kind words, prayers, thoughts . . . I'm O.K., I think, I'm just really weary. As I write this, my DH is in the kitchen, doing dishes and cleaning -- and never complaining. I just want this to go away. I begged my doctor the last time I saw him to make it go away -- while sobbing. I'm just too young. It's so hard to keep to keep a happy face on for everyone else. They all want to know that I'm okay with this -- and they want the old me. I have always been the person in our family (even in our extended family) who is the happy face person -- I am the comic, the clown, the one with the self-deprecating humor that settles hot tempers down and brings up poor spirits. This has been my role & function in the family since I was tiny. (well, I was NEVER tiny, but since I was very young!)

I bought this set of Revlon hair extension things after Christmas. One was a pony tail (my sister and I call it a "phoney-tail" :P ) I pulled my hair back and wore that to my parents' house. My dad said, "You look great. That looks great on you -- you ought to wear that all the time!" I told my husband, it's because it's what I USED to look like when I was healthy. He wants to see that. I can hardly stand it when my dad cries when he sees me walk. Or when my mom has to say, "Now, you know she's going to be O.K.", trying to convince him, when she doesn't believe it herself and she's crying. I won't go to my parents' house when I'm walking really badly. They don't know exactly how bad it is. My mom saw me walk one time the way I usually walk, and she had this frantic cry -- it was in front of my aunt who had to hold her. She just kept saying "they have to help you! they have to help you!" And my mom isn't like that . . . she's the Rock in our family -- she's the one who says -- "I KNOW you're going to be okay -- we're all going to see to that."

I REALLY hate it that my sister thinks that I have "conversion disorder" -- when a traumatic event causes you to have physical symptoms. I don't think that "traumatic events" can cause you to have anti-gliadin and anti-perkinje cell antibodies, nor sjogren's syndrome. If that was the case, I would have had these a VERY LONG time ago. She wants me to go to a Neuropsychiatrist. I asked her was it not enough that I go to a shrink for my ADHD meds, and SHE says's it's not conversion disorder, that I was evaluated at the Mayo Clinic by THEIR psychiatrist, and HE said it's not conversion disorder, that I saw a counselor for 6 months when I was first disabled to help me with the transition in my life, and SHE says it's not conversion disorder.

I think my sister just wants it to be something that will "go away".

I think that I'm really just weary right now -- I have battled this staunchly for four years now -- the last two with the neurological symptoms -- and I'm tired. I'm not going to do anything severe, nor permanent. I've been that low before because of my thyroid (see, again because of a doctor with cranio-rectal inversion), and I'm nowhere near that low. I'm just battle-weary.

I think that you guys are the greatest. I am so blessed to have friends like you -- friends that when they say, "I understand", they do. And, friends who don't dismiss that I DO sometimes have really awful feelings about this stupid disease, and who don't "gloss over" those feelings. This forum, and it's allowing me to meet all of you, has been such a Godsend. I don't think you know how much I rely upon you -- for information, for a "sounding board" for ideas, for giving me a sense of worth -- that I might be able to contribute to something, and for being able to laugh -- sometimes quite a lot (think: Altoids) -- and even laugh at this dumb disease. Again, I think you are the greatest.

I'm going to have to drop my computer off at the IT place that Toshiba uses for its extended warranty repair -- and the "gentleman"(?) with whom I spoke told me to expect "at least two weeks -- probably three -- I'm backed up" (him and me both :lol: just a little humor for those who know), so I will be absent from my connection to the outside world for awhile -- not gone, just repairing. (I don't know why, but I got this picture of the Wizard of Oz characters when they were finally at the Wizard's palace -- I feel like the scarecrow getting new stuffing -- although my favorite is the Cowardly Lion). So, in about three weeks, I can click my heels, and come back "home". I'll talk to you guys then. Until then, take care, and if there is any talk that could possibly cause trouble, get someone kicked off, etc., save it for me so that I won't be out of the loop! I love you all . . . . (((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))) Lynne

I have more!:

I REALLY dislike cleaning my bathrooms (think one celiac with chronic diarrhea and twin 5 yr old boys with lousy aim). <_<

I HATE the feeling of helplessness when you are worried about a friend on-line but have no way of knowing if they are okay because your only contact with them is through the wires of a computer!

I strongly dislike the "doggy poop spring cleaning" that needs to be done in the backyard when the snow melts... :blink:

I really, really dislike rap. I truly believe it incites violence.

I really dislike being in a line-up at Walmart when you really, really have to "let one go". :blink:

I really dislike people who spray their lawns with all kinds of chemical crap and I forever have to make sure my kids and dog don't walk on it (or breathe it in).

I really dislike when above said people continue to spray their lawns with chemical crap even after the city passed a by-law banning it.

I really dislike litterbugs.

I HATE spiders. Can you say "arachnophobia???"

Okay, gotta get back to another thing that I strongly dislike:

Doing laundry.

Hugs!

Deb and Lynne-

My heart really ached for both of you this morning when I read your posts here. Another reminder to me that we live in a broken world and that that brokeness carries over into creation, our body, our relationships... I yearn for the day when we can all be made whole. My hope though is that you two can experience glimpses of that in this life. I wish I had a way to bring tangible relief to both of you. I am also a believer that our real character often comes out in trials...and I think you two handle yourselves so well in light of all you carry.

Lynne, even if you cannot, I can think of positive things about you. You have a great spirit that has encouraged many folks here and even in your great struggles you have cared enough to remain involved here. I really respect that about you. Many individuals would have choosen to withdrawal or come here only seeking for his or herself. Your sense of humor is an inspiration--you cheer other people! That speaks volumes to me about who you are. Wish I could stop by sometime at hang out with you at your house and that for a few moments isolation would be far from your mind.

Deb, you have had more than your share of hardships. Thanks for the reminder to be grateful for the basic things--being able to work, having a husband that can work and being able to provide for ourselves. I can't imagine the amount of anxiety you live with at times-trying to hold everything together. And I am so sorry you have people in your life that take from you and don't give back. I hope that a true friend would come into your life and that somehow you and your husband would begin to experience more of an abundant life.

Lynne,

You are a constant friend to all of us. Your encouragement to each one of us on an individual level in spite of the pain and discomfort and heavy-heartedness you carry is remarkable.

You have an absolute fan club in all of us. I wish I lived near you to stop by and share a cup of coffee/tea with you. You have been blessed with the gift of sharing yourself and I know I for one thank you for your presence here.

Wow!! I loved this post! (Even though I hate that it took so long to read! :) ) There were so many people's posts that I wanted to respond to - but now...8 pages later...I don't remember! So - here I go with my own "hate" list!

-I hate when people leave their blinkers on after changing lanes.

-I hate finding out that a cereal I've eaten my whole life (Corn Pops) has Wheat in it....and having to hold back my tears till I get back to my car.

-I hate that my hubby's job training takes so much time (Highway Patrol)...and once he's done - his job will take even more time!

-I hate dropping $1700 on a stupid house payment.

-I hate paying $4.50 for a box of gluten-free cookies - when there are only 9 small cookies in the whole box!

-I hate spending money on Gluten-free food. Period! :)

-I hate that after reading someone's post about Milky Ways ingredients being changed (also my fav. candy bar)...that I now need to check EVERYTHING before I eat it!

-I hate that I was diagnosed so early in life and that I don't know anything technical about Celiac.

-I hated being in elementary and not getting to eat the special birthday treats kids would bring in for their b-days.

-I hated have to eat a different dinner when the rest of my family ate something else.

-I hated thinking that my sister's resented the attention I got growing up because of my disease.

-I hate that since I've been married I haven't made a big deal about having Celiac - to the point that now that I'm trying to be better - my hubby doesn't even know what "Celiac" is!!

-I hate when people "forget" I have celiac and offer me a food I can't eat (especially when the person is a family member or friend).

-I hate that now I know having Celiac is a HUGE deal....no one else seems to understand what a big deal it is....and wishing I could turn back the clocks and have made it a bigger deal in my life earlier.

-I hate that I'm still awake - knowing my daughter will be up at the crack of dawn wanting to play.

-I hate that I read about some of your health concerns...and connecting it to myself - not realizing it was even a concern that was connected to Celiac (mood swings, memory, exhaustion, etc).

-I hate that I, too, have lost some of the "Zest" for life - and have gotten too tied up in being exhausted.

-I hate one of the managers at work who does the schedule - for scheduling me (even though I requested it off a month in advance) on the night of my anniversary.

-I hate that I don't have the guts to contact a manager at a restaurant to make special arrangements for what I eat. And I hate that I eat food I shouldn't eat because I'm a coward.

-I hate that I can't seem to be 100% gluten-free...because it doesn't affect me as badly as some of you.

-I hate when I have to leave my daughter with a babysitter when my hubby's and my schedules overlap.

-I hate feeling "stupid" - after being a stay-at-home mom (or maybe it's from mind problems caused by eating gluten?)....and not knowing what to say when I'm with other adults.

-I hate being different.

-I hate that I don't ever want to be intimate with my hubby because I'm so exhausted.

-I hate that even though he tries to understand - he doesn't.

Hmmm...okay. At first, when reading this post, I wasn't sure I could think of anything to "hate"... but as I got going - wow - it got easier to unload! I had meant for my post to be funny and entertaining.. but I guess I have more negative feelings than I realized! :o Sorry for unloading all that! I guess I need to work my way over to the I LOVE post as well! :)

Thank you so much all of you for your support. It's been an emotional day. The service was wonderful with standing room only in the hall. Elizabeth was a very special lady. Her family is having a hard time with it. She really is going to be missed by all of us.

She died on Thurs. morning. We actually drove by her car while the police etc. were still there. It turns out that she died of a massive heart attack before she hit the tree. We are all thankful that she didn't hit any other traffic. Fortunately it was fairly early with little traffic on the highway.

Having you all around for support has meant a great deal, Thank You :wub:

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
