The combination that I have is consistant with the Celiac disease and the neuro symptoms that I have (neuropathy and anxiety). At least it makes sense to me.

That's very interesting, I have been thinking that anxiety rises if there is inflammation in the body and with untreated Celiac there is inflammation.

Am I the only one that doesn't appreciate being well endowed? <_<:blink::ph34r:

I'm really late on this discussion, aren't I? :(

I used to joke that I couldn't go jogging when I was breastfeeding 'cause I'd give myself a black eye (or two).

There is no such thing as coming in too late on a discussion in this thread. :D

I have seen people with just one ... I can't remember when and I didn't have my kids genetically tested. Since people with severe symptoms are more likely to be tested and symptoms are more severe with two genes, I would bet that many around here have two.

I believe, and I'm going on memory here, that Enterolab has said that somethingt like 30% of the population has at least one celiac/gluten sensitivity gene.

Fiddle-Faddle, oh, can you imagine the PAIN? Ouch, they're so heavy while nursing, I can't imagine running!!

Ok...I was wondering about this for a long time. I've never seen anyone on this board or on the other board that has just one gene....even the people who get their entire families tested....they all have 2 genes but not everyone is sick. :huh:

If you say you've seen it....I will put it to rest. ;)

Laura,

If I could be there in five minutes I would be. :D That's sounds like a wonderful spread....even with the dairy.

That is so nice of your friends to send you roses!

Hoping your challenge goes well and you don't get real sick.

Haven't heard from Evie so I assume she's in the hospital. :(

Wow, you all are fast! I feel like I've been gone for weeks and I really have only been away from the computer for a few hours :lol:

Thank you all for the warm welcomes and the information! So much to learn, so little time....

The best thing I have going for me right now is that Dh is equally up for the msg-free thing. Thankfully he got inducted into the world of diet weirdness already, with the celiac disease! I think nothing I say about food will ever surprise him anymore LOL.

My plan is to totally switch over the kitchen right after Thanksgiving. (I'm cooking for 4 large families; I think I need to keep some mainstream foods in order to keep them happy with a gluten-free feast!)

thanks for all the info and support! I'll be back!

You're making me tired already. :P

I'll be in the air Thanksgiving evening. We will be having ours the week before or after. Haven't decided yet.

You don't want to leave this thread for more than a day or you'll be lost. :P:lol:

Laura the meal your mom is making sounds delicious and your friends are so thoughtful to send you flowers. How wonderful that you have so many people in your life that care for you.

Rachel I am still thinking about how very few things you can eat. I'm glad sugar isn't a problem for you the way it is for me. :ph34r:

Me too. I don't think I'd get tired of beef but everything else.....ok, maybe I'd horde the ice cream too......ok, so I WOULD.....if I didn't have much to choose from and my allergies didn't get worse. :ph34r:

Welcome Amy :)

Laura- Lots of love to you during your food challenges. I know it wont be easy, but hopefully it will go fast and you will get some helpful information and answers out of it.

Donna- Best of luck with your second quadrant amalgam removal tomorrow, hope it goes as smoothly as the first :)

I am also concerned about Evie, hope we hear from her soon.

3. My mom is making me homemade tacos tonight. Fried corn torts, beef/onions in seasoning, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cheese, sour cream....wow. Then she made the pumpkin cheesecake recipe (with a gluten-free cookie crust) that I made for thanksgiving last year. She also made me gluten-free banana bread, and got me the gluten-free pretzels that I love. Oh, the food that I will eat. I'm a bit nervous, but I feel the support from Rachelville :)

Sounds yummy, I hope you enjoy the food and dont get too too sick. :)

My two favorite deserts are pumpkin pie and cheesecake....thats what I eat around the holidays. I love banana bread too. You're getting all my favorite holiday treats tonight! :)

I'm really worried about Evie too. :(

Good that you have a supportive and understanding hubby. :D

Thank gaaaaawd for that......my head was spinning during that time!! :wacko:

Soooo anxious to hear how Rachel's appointment went today!!

:D

I feel better about everything after seeing the hocus pocus lady. :lol:

I got lots of scientificness to share too.

Julie....I didnt forget you...I will send a pm later. :)

I *did* forget my MSG question though. :(

I only get like 10 minutes with her before she starts the actual treatment.....and there is no talking going on during the treatment. So I gotta ask everything within the first 10 minutes. I go back on Thursday so will save that question till then.

She gave me a copy of my full report.....what she sent to my Dr. I'll share some of that later too.....its got my whole treatment plan layed out on it.

I discussed my Dr. appt. with her....about how he made me feel and about how I havent gotten an exact treatment plan for the Lyme yet. She asked if he was testing for the co-infections?? I told her yes, he is but no real discussion of treatment yet. She said this is normal.....there wont be a treatment plan until he gets the results of that test.

Have to surrender the computer for a bit so will be back shortly. :)

Rachel, sounds like you had a great appt. :D Look forward to hearing all about it.

Speaking of pumpkin pie, I just posted a few recipes I found doing an internet search for dairy free/soy free pumpkin pies. It's very hard to find one free of both offenders. Anyway, there might be something you could work with there Rachel, maybe? :unsure: I would like for you to be able to eat pumpkin pie, or something closely resembling it. I guess you could blend mashed pumpkin into your ice cream :blink:

:lol:

Hi y'all- laura, I know you're beginning your week from hell, but I'm so glad that you are surrounded by such caring people! :wub::wub::wub::wub:

I hope Evie's OK....I had C Diff this summer and it was awful. :(

Rachel- About the gene thing, I was only tested for DQ2 and DQ8 and i only have DQ8 (I think...I have to check my signature :P ). But my doctor only tested me for the celiac genes. Actually, have we come come to a consensus that you can be gluten intolerant but not celiac? I thought that either way, it was celiac. :blink: I'm not sure I undertsand the difference between gluten intolerance (no damage?) and having celiac.

Glad your appointment went well.

Donna- Good luck with the next step of amalgam removal. Gosh- will you be glad when this is all over!

Arrghh... got my blood tests back today. Nuthin'- which is good because he was looking for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and some other autoimmune stuff. But my red blood cell count was low (last time my it was my white blood cell count :blink: ). Of course, my Lyme test was negative but heacknowledged the one he ran was pretty lame so he wants me to follow up with the rheumatologist.

I did have a horrific realization today...when I was having all that joint pain and stiffness, I was taking fish oil (Nordic Naturals) that has soy in it. :angry: BUT, I still don't think that's the reason.

So, I'll follow up with the rheumy and talk to him about Igenix testing. Wish I had an MD so I could just test my self!

Beverly, I'm glad to know that you don't have lupus or rheumatoid arthritis but I am confused about why if he ran a lame Lyme test on you he wants to follow up with a rheumatologist. :huh: I think I need to find out what a rheumatologist is.

Just in case anyone lurking is looking for a link to Igenex:

I'm concerned about Evie too. :( She sounded so fragile in her last post.

Nope...no pumpkin for me. I've reacted to all the pumpkin I've tried. I'm stickin to my 5 safe foods. :P

Bev...if you only got Celiac genes tested then you dont know what other intolerance genes you might carry since only Enterolab tests for those genes.

Nope....not all gluten intolerance is Celiac Disease. I dont have Celiac Disease. Celiac is blunting of the villi...I dont have this.

Why would the guy order a lame Lyme test to begin with?? Seems like a waste....why not just order Igenix from the start?? :unsure:

I got sent to a rheumy in my long string of Dr.'s and specialists. A rheumatologist deals with joints and arthritis and things like this.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
