Oh...I only have one line too but I actually figured out how to get past the not receiving calls part. I got call forwarding so all the calls made to my house go straight to my cell. Now I can be online and still talk on the phone. :D

Clever girl...

BTW you only need one phone line for DSL.

Be sure to keep up with us. Have a great time in Australia. May I ask why you are going? Didn't you say for five months.

I'm traveling through a work abroad program. So basically I have a work visa and I'm hoping to find a job when I get there and travel around the country as well. It's just something I've always wanted to do. It'll be a great way to shake things up a bit - after eliminating gluten I still suffer from cubicle induced brain fog. So...I needed to do something slightly drastic to force myself out of my current (not so exciting) situation :D It'll be a fun adventure if nothing else :)

Can you be my designated typer?? :lol:

wow... just took my first sip... almost forgot what it tasted like ^_^

Good luck with the wine. One sip can be powerful if you haven't drank in a while :lol:

I think at this point 3 sips of wine would probably get me drunk. When I got sick I totally lost my tolerance for alcohol. :(

Mango, I agree with Floridian...you're really brave!! I'm the type that wouldnt ever think of going to see a movie by myself or going to eat by myself....let alone going to a whole other country by myself. :blink:

No way...I'm chicken. :ph34r:

But... I can go shopping by myself....I'm really good at that!! :D

Donna you probably look beautiful and healthy... I still look sickly... I hate it... the doctor said I'd start to gain weight but it's not happening as fast I would like it to.

Floridian-

I'm 5'5 and not even 100 lounds- so I'm sure compared to me you hardly look sickly!! I can't seem to gain weight no matter what I gained 3 pounds and got excited and than lost them within a few weeks.

So Donna feel free to pass any weight you don't want over to me- I need it!!!

Miamia

Okay... question.... should I try a glass of white wine? Haven't had a sip of ANY alcohol in about 4 months.

Hi... my name is Celia

I haven't had a drink in 4 months.

I'm not an alcoholic but was thinking it might be fun. :lol:

I was wondering the same thing the other day and didn't- god I miss wine!!!

If you go for it give a review of your reaction.

OMG, you guys have added 5 more pages since I was last here late this morning :lol::lol:

Hi Mango! That is so cool you are going to Australia. Will you still be able to access the board from your travels? I hope so, maybe you can post pictures of your adventures??

I can also be a designated typer :lol: I don't drink at all.

Oh Miamia... I can feel your pain SOOOO much!!! Isn't it hard to gain??? Drives me nuts!!

Floridian-

I just see how its possible I don't - even when I am having a reaction or a truly terrrible day I force myself to eat because I am so scared of losing weight and still I don't gain a pound it really is FRUSTRATING!! Everyone thinks I'm anoerexic- trying to explain malabsorbtion and food intolerences is a joke- nobody gets it. Well except those at the sleepover.

I have a doctor's appointment on the 17th and she's gonna ask me how I've been... thinking I should print out this thread and hand it to her :D

:lol:

I wonder how much paper you'd need to print out the entire thread. :blink:

I'm just imagining you plopping down this huge book and saying "Its all here...in black and white...this is how I feel". :D

And you're doctor's looking at you like this. :huh:

I see the slumber party has been going on without me :angry::D ! I came on to see if anyone else was here, and I see it's been non-stop for 5 or 6 pages! Floridian, I had a glass of wine with Easter dinner--the first on in 2 years. No problem at all--but I haven't had another....How are you feeling now--or have you gone to sleep :lol: ?

Hey Rachel--no problem with the pinning--I have more time during the day than you do anyway!

OH gawwwddd Rachel... I'm sitting here laughing at you so hard and my Tony comes in ... oh Tony my hubby... and he goes "maybe it's beddy bye time" and I go "why"... and he goes "cuz your sitting here staring at a computer screen laughing your (you know what) off.... he just smiled and hugged me and went to watch TV

I've been doing the same thing. You women are very funny.

I had two doctors appointments today, my GP asked why I was there to see her and I told her it was because her office had called me to come in and talk to her about the letter from the Gastro. :huh:

So then she read the letter and had nothing to tell me I didn't already know. The next doctor I saw was a surgeon who is determined to take out the fibroid cyst I have in one of my breasts. In the midst of the Celiac crisis this winter I discovered the lump and had a month or so of wondering if I had breast cancer but I don't. :P They all thought I did though, I kept hearing the, well you are 51 and it is an irregular mass, worried looks and such. I have a CT scan scheduled this week too because I have a cyst or something in one of my kidneys. :( I am really wondering if there is a connection between all the soy I consumed in my twenties and estrogen and these cysts. Has anybody else suddenly been "cysted"?

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By Dizzyma · Posted

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
