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"?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
