Ooh! Ooh! I can get on topic, too!

I posted in another forum about bizarro pain I've been having. Does anyone else hurt a lot when someone scratches your back, gives you a massage, or you scratch your back? Or when you slide out of bed in the morning and your calves rub against the edge of the mattress? It's an intense soreness, like you just hit something really hard, only all of this is with avergage pressure. I've had it a few years, I never realized it wasn't normal :huh:

Since we're in the land of magical relevations, I figured this might be a more helpful place to ask advice :rolleyes:

Tika is autistic, so she's mostly interested in hunting for lizards and staring intently at people to get what she wants...

Um, off topic? I am so consistently off topic that I"m sure to be voted off the cult farm....

I can't help but be off topic today, lol. I had a dog named Teaka! We spelled it differently obviously. Neat name! :D

Haven't really had that kind of pain, but have had the kind where it feels like a really horrible sun burn when the skin is just lightly touched or even when clothing brushes against it...there's never any redness or rash or any other outward sign of anything amiss...the spots tend to differ from time to time.

I fell about a month ago and the bruising is gone, but my leg still hurts like it is bruised even with very light pressure...is that close to the pain you are feeling?

I had a massage on Saturday and thought I was going to die. Its a deep tissue massage and I always have her use heavy pressure and it's usually not a problem, but almost every spot she touched...even with lighter pressure on my feet hurt like crazy.

Rachel-

thanks for the support- perhaps we should be the cheerleaders on our island either that or we could hire Mr Clark to stop by once a weekend to come give us all motivational talks!!

Miamia

Andrea-

not that I dont support your role as mayor but I feel you would be very well suited in a motherly role.

I think you should be the motherly mayor - or something to that extent - we can fool with the official title.

Miamia

Miamia,

You can only be cheerleader if it doesn't take away from chef duties. :D You were one of our chefs weren't you...or is my memory failing me. :lol: Did you guys know that msg has been linked with autism? That's in Excitotoxins...from our discussion about 70-80 pages ago. :P

Motherly mayor....we can go with that. :P

Rachel- I don't know if you ever said what your OMG moment was yesterday, maybe I missed it?

I feel like I am missing other things, I apologize if I left anything out.

Yes, I must have missed it too, unless it was the follow-up on the C.Diff thing...Rachel? :D

That sounds pretty close. I can't tolerate anything more than a gentle backrub. Even a light massage on my shoulders HURTS LIKE HELL!! Not just during it, which could be tight muscles, but for a good 2-3 minutes after the touching ceases.

Interesting you should say scratching your back. My husband (trying to be nice) will come up behind me in the kitchen or something and rub my shoulders/scratch my back. These are things he loves, but I can't stand it--it hurts, and I just figured I'm just more sensitive. :blink:

Guess what? My son, daughter-in-law and my baby grandbaby Ana, are flying in tonight at midnight... can't wait to hold Ana again... they will be here for good now, they moved back home to sunny Florida!!

Celia--you must be over the moon!! Will they be living close by in Florida? I hope someday to have grandchildren--my sons don't seem to be in any sort of hurry, though :D

I just realized I made up a new word there - relevations. Kind of like revelations, only spelled wrong. Whoops :rolleyes:

I've been doing that a lot. Like, I'll intend to write "the dog chased the cat out of the house" and I'll end up writing "the dog chased the cat out of the credit card"

Man, this brainfog is so deep that no amount of red bull will save me now :rolleyes:

Wow, fortunately for me it doesn't happen very often, but I can think of two other times recently where I was nearly in tears and in one case felt kind of nauseated. Did you notice it happening when you were gluten-free? I'm wondering if maybe it will get better once you're off the challenge.

Guess what? My son, daughter-in-law and my baby grandbaby Ana, are flying in tonight at midnight... can't wait to hold Ana again... they will be here for good now, they moved back home to sunny Florida!!

How exciting!!!!!

my gosh, your husband vacuuming.....how fantastic...be sure and post that on the why we don't need men thread...... :lol: Around here I don't look forward so much to the sound of the pitter-patter of little feet, but the sound of a man doing things for me (sawing limbs off trees, mowing the lawn, opening jars :lol: )

Celia and I must be doubly blessed. My hubby works hard all day and comes home and helps with whatever needs to be done. I just told him last night that I only eat 2 meals a day during the week but since he's home on the weekend I eat 3 because he takes such good care of me. :wub: He's always asking what I want for breakfast and if I don't know or don't feel like it, he figures something out. He also does laundry and vacuums on the weekends as well as doing the dishes that don't go in the dishwasher. And he let's me have most of the computer time so I can keep up with Rachelville. :P

Not to say the Celia and I are the only ones double blessed.....just no one else has written about it. :)

Ms Penguin, Just kind of goes with the territory! I managed to gluten myself (CC) right before we went away --a week and a half ago--and I'm still doing stupid things! Yesterday, I took a load of clothes out of the dryer, folded them and turned the drier back on--completely empty. A while later, I thought--what's that noise? It was the dryer running :ph34r:

When I am reacting to foods (not just wheat, but dairy and processed packaged foods/lots of grains does it for me too) and I amass a lot of swelling (rapid weight gain) I have this type of pain. It's like it hurts to be touched or to wear clothes, to even lay down because the weight of my body on myself hurts, if that makes sense?

It goes away for me when I lose the massive swelling and my body weight normalizes, it takes a while and it only goes down if I take out all the offending foods.

I just realized I made up a new word there - relevations. Kind of like revelations, only spelled wrong. Whoops :rolleyes:

I do that all the time, brain fog or nor brain fog. I think I am a dyslexic typer, always inverting letters.

I frankly prefer "relevations" to revelations. Here in the land of Rachelville, we make all the rules, and we have our own words and language, relevations must go at the top of the list :lol:

Celia,

That is so exciting! You will have so much fun with your grandbaby......will we still see you on here? :unsure: I know we will and I'm happy for you. :D

Chelsea,

It sounds like your gluten challenge could be the culprit. You still have a month left? I meant to comment on the weight watchers pages ago but forgot. :blink: I would think the weight wouldn't be too hard to lose once you are back off gluten. I don't know if you've been eating products with a lot of refined sugar, but going off of refined sugar and only eating the sugar that's no so refined will help with weight loss. You still need to watch all sugar intake, it's just the refined stuff that so bad as far as weight.

I don't think it's the gluten challenge, I've had this going on for years, and being gluten-free did nothing for it. It may have been worse, actually.

I'm thinking the weight won't be too hard to lose when I'm off gluten, especially if I start WW at the same time. Double whammy of eating retraining :)

I'm wondering about your OMG moment too Rachel. :)

Relevations, great word, what does it mean? I'm thinking: relev as in important and elevations as in higher places, so relevations is the sharing of an important journey to the uplifted and inspirational community of Rachelville. :) Anyone else?

Celia, how wonderful that you will be able to hold that grandchild more often. I am so happy for you.

Off all topics, even the off-topic ones -

I just got off the phone with our tech guy for our prospect managment software that's showing me how to use this labrynth of a system that's supposed to make my life easier. He's maybe 30, and works with all of the councils nationwide.

Should I be offended he called me kiddo? :huh::rolleyes::P

C'mon guys, I know I'm young, but sheesh!

Better than "hun" I guess....

Kiddo is usally meant in an endearing way, so probably not, but if it bugs you, ask him to call you ma'am instead :D

I'm alot older than you and get called "kiddo" all the time...I get called "hun" too. People call me all kinds of things...as long as they are endearing it doesnt bother me one bit.

Oh...one of my co-workers calls me B****....thats just what she calls me and she says it affectionately so it doesnt offend me in the least. :)

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      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.

      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
