I want to take up kickboxing and write words like leaky gut, gluten, corn, dairy, celiac, immune system, hives, allergies, grains, and so on all over the punching bag and then beat the H E L L out of it.

Anyone want to join me??

:lol::lol:

juliem-

I don't know if its those words I'de want to beat up for me it would be all the doctors who misdiagnosed me for so long and put me on all the meds that I know made me worse!!!

Miamia

WOAH

60 years!! That is so impressive. Congrats to you Evie.....and your hubby too! :D

Julie, Celia and Rachel--Thanks for your input! I'm drinking nothing but the Poland Spring like I did back at the beginning of all this and see if it makes a difference that will last. I've been going out of my mind trying to figure out why I keep getting sick. I've been joking that pretty soon I'll be down to a vitamin pill and water! (and now the water is suspect :lol: ) Thanks for being there guys! :)

Celia--are you going to try the theory out too?

Awesome!

I hope you do well!! We can share our successes. See I'm being optimistic for both of us. ;)

Did the guy say anything different about the Keto than what I posted previously...or just basically the same? Did he tell you any success stories? I wanna hear it all. :P

Susan....nooooo..."rain rain go away".... Do you know that song? I soooo love the heat. Rain sometimes makes me sad. Unless I have someone to cuddle with and I could drink hot cocoa with marshmallows. But I dont...and I cant.....soooo rain rain go away. :P

Rachel-

he told me alot of the same stuff. But he did say healing time is different for everyone- in some cases people with worse damage healed faster than people with less. He was just so nice we started talking about the things we like to cook ansd the dangers of eating out. He was just really personable- and so confident it would owrk- it was very contagious I got off the phone with him thinking of course this is the answer.

Yeah....he is very personable and so up to date on all this stuff. I could have talked to him for a long time...well I did...but I could have just kept talking all day. I felt great after we hung up. Thats why I wish I could call him everyday that I feel bad....his words were just so reassuring.

Rachel-

Yeah calling him on bad days would be a good idea- yesturday I had a terrible day!!! bad brain fog really bad pain- what I call "candida bloat" And after I talked to him I was happy despite all of this. He told me to call him in one or two weeks to let him know how I react, but maybe I'll call him just to cheer me up on bad days- thats a good idea!!!

Hang in there Susan. I know it's hard but each day gets better and each day we get stronger. :)

We are here to celebrate and comfort...don't worry about crashing the party...it won't happen.

allergic to water...holy cow....glad you figured it out and you're feeling better, Patti!

Patti and Celia,

Aquafina is good brand. I watched a show a few years back that tested the bottled water. There were only 3 or 4 that were good. I had to email the person who hostess of the show and ask her if she remembered which ones they were. She remembered aquafina because it is what she drinks. She said a lot of the expensive waters were worse than aquafina.

Yes, it's filtered. There's a filter right in the fridge. I changed it when the indicator light came on. Don't think it's CC. Maybe you would know this Vincent--I think those filters have charcoal in them--there wouldn't be wheat in that like there is in cooking charcoal--would there?

Gosh, its possible, and heck it might explain why on days my son gets more water his stools are much looser and more often then on days that he dont. I better look in to this too. :(

[Celia--I know what you mean.

I was doing fine. About that time, we bought a new refrigerator with filtered water thru the door. Before that, I had been drinking only Poland Spring water. I don't know if it was a coincidance, but that is about when my symptoms came back and I began the elimination diets.

What do you all think? Am I grasping at straws?

Vincent-we had a short discussion about water on the thread for Megan/TCA/Tanya- Zack, my youngest, has had a problem with water with chlorine or fluoride all his life. There were a number of interesting posts on that thread from others regarding water. It is scary some of the things we ingest unknowingly. btw--great news about the adoption. I wish I could adopt, but at 45, I don't think it is something I can do. Hubby is 57, so I think we are just going to wait for grandkids.

Who was it, evie? 60 YEARS!!! THAT ANNIVERSARY IS AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Susan-Dingo-girl--It does get easier--I will pray for a gorgeous, rich, sexy, kind, loving man from Monterey to come into your life and sweep you off your feet. Everyone join in and focus on that for Susan and maybe our combined prayers and good vibes will get things rolling so Susan will someday say, Robert-? who?

All of you are so gorgeous, I will probably put up a picture of my dog for my avatar if I ever figure out how to do it!!!!!

Thank you guys for the info on quinoa--I still am having some serious bouts of D periodically and was thinking of trying quinoa-so thanks for saving me from THAT misery.

Andrea, I tried the Irish oats that were supposed to be safe and had a bad time of it. I hope you can eat it, but heads up on that. Rachel, I have had 5 laparascopy (sp?) surgeries and they are not fun, but they are about the only way to really know what is what with the ovaries. I hope you don't have to have one, but you are under anesthetic for the procedure. They cut in the belly button so the scars are pretty invisible.

I totally get what you're talking about Rachel.....that is the best thing of all to do on a rainy day! I love rain any time, EXCEPT when the dogs get cabin fever and need a walk - -

And it would be SO nice to have a cool rain right about now..... :( If you like heat, just head on down to the good ol' Central Valley right now - - but I don't know if you'd like it so much!

I don't think I should post any more this evening.....somehow I've been glutened, and I can't figure it out, the only NEW thing yesterday was Arborio rice but not a new package - - might have had anti-caking something-or-other....but, when my thinking becomes this dark, something is definitely wrong, and I think I will call it a day and just head to bed with my book.

Rachel, I keep picturing your jumping intestines.....wouldn't you be able to FEEL them if they were doing that? I mean, sounds like that would produce intense cramping, and I can't remember if you were feeling the cramping during the exam or not - I know there was intense pain when she pressed on your ovary area - -

DO YOU THINK THERE"S AN ALIEN IN THERE??

;););) and please note - - not making light of your situation - - just a little levity here, that's all. Can't imagine how frustrated you must be with all of this and what your little body is continually going through. Adding you to my prayers before bed.

Um, who is this guy that y ou're calling - what page is he on - I want to call him too and feel better.... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I heard the Europeans say they would NEVER drink the disgusting tap water. Hmmm. gfp, are you on? You live in France...Any comments?

We will need to PM him - - - this thread is just a little intimidating and long to jump in the middle of :blink: esp. for a guy as it's such an estrogen-fest!

Good thing we have Picard and Vincent - - am I missing anybody else??

Susan-Dingo-girl--It does get easier--I will pray for a gorgeous, rich, sexy, kind, loving man from Monterey to come into your life and sweep you off your feet. Everyone join in and focus on that for Susan and maybe our combined prayers and good vibes will get things rolling so Susan will someday say, Robert-? who?

THANK YOU for that Robbin, so precious...and BTW 45 is not too old to adopt! Neither is 57! But...I will add to that prayer and say may we ALL have the peace, joy and love we so richly deserve...

Andrea, I tried the Irish oats that were supposed to be safe and had a bad time of it. I hope you can eat it, but heads up on that.

I ordered some from Gluten Free Oats, two pounds for about $16, and am ecstatic to report, NO problems at all, might you consider trying that? I really missed my oats and am so relieved.

Dang, this thing about the water is starting to concern me ....have had D for the last three or four days, not normal for me as I am very careful, and I MIX tap water with bottled.....I never thought of this! Must thank all of you for the thoughtful and varied posts on here - - we learn so much, don't we?

G'night John-Boy....'night Mary Ellen......'night Ma.....

Good night and sweet dreams to all of you.

:)

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      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
