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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      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.
