sometimes, I think I'll do a two-week gluten challenge just to lose a quick 10 pounds..... :ph34r:

Just because it's gluten causing the diarrhea instead of a laxative, doesn't mean it's not bulimia. You don't want to go there. ;) You are probably at a healthier weight. I USED to have to watch my weight ... I'm sure when I'm healthy I will again.

My biggest problem now is everything I eat makes me sick. Drinking doesn't, so a latte every day is a good source of calories. With it making me sick, I have little appetite.

oh, how I do miss being a size 2.... :( yeah, yeah, I know it wasn't healthy....but I did like that, all of my life......sometimes, I think I'll do a two-week gluten challenge just to lose a quick 10 pounds..... :ph34r:

help me......

Susan,

You are at a much healthier weight now. Please don't do that too yourself. It's not worth it. :(

Drive by- Been trying to "take care of business"- weeding, paying bills, gardening. Trying to keep my mind occupied. All of a sudden I am NERVOUS about my appointment tomorrow. :blink:

Also, speaking of anger and bitterness- I am ANGRY. had two trips booked this winter (DC and San francisco) that I had to cancel due to 'stomach flu". had trip insurance on both luckily. Unfortunately now both United and travelocity are claiming I didn't cancel- I have the stupid travelocity cancellation in writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: Spent four hours on the phone yesterday until I ended up screaming at someone then realized I had to let it go for awhile.

Wwill not give up the fight! But the warrior must rest for now. Feeling pretty drained.

Looking forward to hearing about all the appts today though.

:angry: Yeah but I was WAY hotter before!!!! :lol::lol::lol: How sad, emaciated is considered so hot......

That one is one of my favorites that I've seen. :D

I am rather famous for those, it's the magnolia (I've done several renditions), quite large and took more than 100 hours, and SO heinous that I"ll never do another one. glad you like it. ;) (oh, also slightly plagiarized from Ehret's illustration from the 1800's :ph34r: ) It's just to show you guys that I don't just paint hallucinogenic Fauve trees. :P

This is sad but true. The more weight I lose, the more male attention I seem to draw. Seems like they'd like a little more meat on the bones ... especially since the chest seems to just get flatter and flatter as you lose weight. <_<

Keep on travelocity to start since you have the cancelation in writing. After you rest though and preferably not til after your appointment.

I can understand the nervousness and fear of the unknown with what treatment is going to entail. We are here for you......call/email or pm if you need to.

Is your appointment in the morning?

:angry: Yeah but I was WAY hotter before!!!! :lol::lol::lol: How sad, emaciated is considered so hot......

I

It is very sad, yes. The ones who prefer emaciated women aren't worth it though. Their interest is more in how you look that who you are.......IMO anyway.

Just need to get surgery to augment the chest right? ;) This world is really messed up in it's ideals. <_<

Amen- If one more person tells me how great I look, I'm gonna punch em (not you guys :P ). I keep telling everyone skinny bev= sick bev and curvy bev=healthy bev. :P

Thanks everyone- my appt is at 9 am tomorrow.

If there interest is limited to how you look, I would agree, but for many men, that's just the first attraction, then they get to know the woman beneath the looks ... if there's no substance, a man who has substance will move on.

I know that I could have been accused of being shallow the first time I saw Adam. ;):lol:

Adam tells me sexy is an attitude ... Queen Latifah is living proof that he's right. So, Susan, it's all in the attitude.

Remember I said "the ones who aren't worth it" like the emaciated look.

Yeah, I get that, too.

I look at actresses now who are as skinny as me or skinnier and I just don't see the appeal. I saw Pirates of the Caribbean last weekend ... I didn't think Keira Knightly looked too thin ... that's scary because my frame of reference is me ... <_< When I'm heavier, I think she looks too thin. LOL

:ph34r:at the first opportunity, I am going to get me some fake boobs. NOT oversized, though. ;)

Because, when I was super skinny, the boobs were proportianate.....now, the new belly necessitates the boobs. ;) All will be fine, then. :)

part 2

OMG - - - SCIENTIFICNESS NEEDED!!! :o

Today my poop was quite solid, but had the WHITE STRIPES in it, just like pre-diagnosis. WTH?? this, I have since learned, is undigested fat. What is going on??????? any ideas? I have not been glutened lately...sometimes there have been SLIGHTLY gluten-suggesting poops - -

and, BTW, is there anyone reading this thread who is ONLY Celiac? maybe I have to pose this question to the entire forum? :unsure:

part 3

Michael Moore is on Oprah, talking about his new film, and the millions of Americans who are "living the American Dream" in that they have health insurance....and how many have been DENIED necessary treatment....I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

I would address it to the whole forum. I think that others would benefit from that conversation that might not look here ... plus you might get more responses.

You'll have to tell me how the movie is etc......I don't watch them. :ph34r:

I believe since I have an active intolerance to gluten that I would have wound up sick, but since I cut it out early I don't have any experience in that area. Since I have a celiac gene I consider myself celiac as well as the rest of us.

I still think metals are a problem but (outwardly anyway) not as much of one as the rest of those on this thread that have problems with metals. I have been more down this year, don't know that I can blame that on the metals though. Mitch thinks both Talitha and I have the psychological manifestations, primarily, with other manifestations playing a part as well (just that being the main one).

OMG :o ...I LOVE Queen Latifah.....she's always been a favorite....she just has that "attitude"....I go see all of her movies. :D

Sorry...I just had to blurt that out. :lol:

As usual I'm the opposite of everyone here. :rolleyes:

I think I got more attention BEFORE I lost weight.

I'm not even sure it has anything to do with weight though...

I think when I was healthy I just was alot more happy....more extroverted, full of life, laughing alot, etc. Now I dont have that same energy....I probably dont laugh or smile nearly as much....even if I look exactly the same...I find people take more notice when a person is looking happy and smiling.

Thats what draws me to a person.....I notice a smile before anything else. If the person didnt smile...I may walk right past without ever noticing them.

Since I gained weight back...I'm not that far off from where I was before getting sick. The main difference is how I feel on the inside...and it does show on the outside when I'm feeling bad, tired and just not having that certain "glow" of happiness. People notice that.

rachel is it ok for me to do the whey and chlorella now?

Lisa...I posted responses to these questions for you a couple times.....maybe you missed my posts??

I'll have to look for the posts and re-post them. I think one was from just earlier today (maybe 1 or 2 pages back) but I'm not able to go back to certain pages I've previously viewed. I'll try to look for it later.

If someone saw my post to Lisa about whey from earlier today can you repost it?? I cant go back to the last couple pages...I get "error" messages. :angry:

Oh Andrea- He's a piece of work. People either love him or hate him. He did Roger and Me about what happened in Michigan when the car industry tanked, Bowling for Columbine and Farenheit 911. I like his work, but his persona is beginning to drive me nuts :rolleyes:

He's very outspoken but he brings A LOT of awareness to anything he researches so I'm glad his next movie is health care!

AndreaB Contributor

Here's the post from 10:59 this morning from Rachel. I didn't copy the part about castor oil packs....

Lisa...I do think you should take the whey....just not in the massive amounts that your Dr. suggested.

How much did you take when you got a reaction to it....was it alot??

Too much of anything at once is gonna be a shock to your system....especially something that promotes detox. Too much will make you feel worse.

I started out with about 1/3 of a scoop and then worked my way up...I'm at one scoop now. I havent had any problems with it at all....and I actually like the taste of it. Another good thing to take is minerals....multi-minerals.

The one I take is free of everything except the minerals....no vitamins....no other "extra stuff".

This is the one my Dr. sent to me...

Open Original Shared Link .com/Cardiovascular-Resea...s/dp/B00014GCWK

The reason she has me on this is to build up the minerals in my body because they are usually depleted during chelation. You need adequate amounts of minerals during the detox period and to replace what might get lost during chelation.

Seems like the minerals and amino acids in the whey go a long way in protecting our bodies from toxic metals. When we get better...its probably a good idea to keep taking this stuff for the added protection....too much of some minerals can be bad too but not enough definately leaves room for mercury to settle in.

After you get all your amalgams out you will probably want to be tested for vit/mineral deficiencies.

Ok...heres my response about the whey protein...

I'll have to go farther back to find my post to you about chlorella...

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Thanks Andrea. :)

I had to do a search of all my posts...its the only way I can get back to the page. :rolleyes:

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Lisa...basically with the chlorella you should just go slow with it and see how well you tolerate it. If you can tolerate it...you can slowly increase the amount you're taking. Dont just start out taking alot of anything all at once. Ease yourself into it.

You had asked about cilantro drops and I said to not do these unless you are also taking chlorella...because cilantro by itself does not remove mercury from the body....it just moves it around.

I suggested starting out with the drops on your wrists, ankles and kidney area. Take some chlorella....see how well you tolerate it...if its ok...then later on you can try taking some cilantro drops in your water or something. Not alot of drops....just maybe 1 or 2 drops.

Everything has to be done in baby steps.

      How high is too high?  I take 10,000 IU vitamin D3 every day.  My blood is stable at 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L).  Even at 10,000 a day it took 8 years to raise it to 80.  Higher levels of 25(OH)D in blood can moderate the autoimmune attack.  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Lower vitamin D levels have also been associated with increased OCD symptom severity.  This is a most dangerous popular belief. As mentioned you are suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Part of the recovery, that is never explained by doctors, is replenishing your deficits.  Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption.  The Western diet is a diet of deficiency.  That is why many processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free foods are exempt.   "I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis."  There are 200 symptoms that can be caused by Celiac Disease and the malabsorbtion it can cause.     • "Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). " Many are misdiagnosed as gall bladder disease.  Choline is needed to create the bile salts needed to digest fat.  90% of our population is deficient.  Eggs and beef are the best source.  The RDA (minimum daily allowance is 500 mg to 3500 mg daily.  One egg has 27% DV.  Broccoli, chopped, boiled, drained, ½ cup only has 7%.  Low choline can cause Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.   Choline and Risk of Neural Tube Defects in a Folate-fortified Population; Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom?;   Choline was formerly called vitamin B4.  I prefer phoshphatidyl choline for supplementation as it is the form we get in food.   • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds.  Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to chronic back pain, But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels.  I supplement Iodine by taking Liquid Iodine.  50 mcg per drop.  The RDA is 150 mcg to 1000 mcg in the US.  In Japan it is 150 mcg to 3000 mcg.  I take 600 mcg a day. Since 1970 the intake of iodine has decreased in the US by 50%.  Hypothyroidism has increased 50%.  Insufficient iodine leads to the thyroid gland working harder to produce these hormones, and if it cannot keep up, hypothyroidism can develop, according to the Mayo Clinic.   Iodine Insufficiency in America: The Neglected Pandemic.   I see improvement in muscle tone, healing, brain fog since taking the Liquid Iodine.  I could not eat enough seaweed.

      I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. When companies don't respond, I lean on third-party certifications (GFCO, NSF) or stick with brands like Jovial or Edward & Sons that prioritize allergen safety. It's a constant hunt, but hopefully these leads help! Have you tried local co-ops or ethnic markets for teff? Sometimes they stock bulk African or Indian brands with clear labeling.

      Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve texture. If you’re experimenting, start with recipes that replace half the flour with bean purée before going fully flourless. Have you tried using aquafaba (bean liquid) as an egg substitute? It works wonders in gluten-free baking too!

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices as gluten free and Spice Lab has some gluten free too. Knitty Kitty has a great point about nutritional deficiencies and B vitamins.  I got a lot of aches and pains when I got off gluten.  I tried to replace wheat with other healthy grains like teff, buckwheat and sorghum.  Limiting one's diet too much and not getting enough vitamins, can make someone feel worse.  A lot of the gluten free foods in the stores are made with lower quality ingredients than the wheat varieties.  I try to replace all my foods with homemade options.  Then I know the quality of the ingredients and which vitamins I may be high or low in.  Probiotics or prebiotics can help with bathroom issues.  Better to get them in foods if possible and not pill form.  My doctors keep recommending magnesium too.  It's not supposed to be taken alone, but they don't seem to care about that.  It's easy for vitamin D to be low too.  That was another thing doctors told me to take.  Unfortunately, they didn't monitor it and it went too high.  Again, better from natural sources like food and sunlight.  However, supplementing can help if you're not getting enough.  Some sources say to take D with K2.  You may want to have iodine levels checked.  If you add iodine, make sure to get sufficient selenium for thyroid.  You can get iodine naturally in most seaweed.  Nori may also be one of the few non-animal sources for B12.  Brazil nuts are a good source of selenium and you only need a few a day to meet RDA.  Some brands of nuts specifically say gluten free.  Unfortunately, there are issues with Brazil nut production and they're much harder to find this year. The more you can vary your diet the better.  One study said aim for at least 30 different foods in a week.  You might want to try kiwi fruit.  There were some studies that said eating kiwi improved mood.  It also has a covering which most people don't eat, so that should protect what's inside from contamination. I've limited my diet quite a bit over the years because of migraines, so I know how uncomfortable it can be finding safe foods.  However, I'm afraid limiting diets like that may actually be causing more harm than good.  It's something I'm trying to work on.  I keep trying to expand the number of foods I eat and my recipe repertoire.  I made a list of brands of foods that I've found that are gluten free so I have a guide when I'm shopping.

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our food and supplements.  These eight B vitamins work together, like instruments in an orchestra.  They need to be supplemented together with essential minerals like magnesium.   Deficiencies in the B vitamins can have overlapping symptoms.  Some symptoms can be traced to specific B vitamins.  OCD can be traced to low Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6.  Yes, I had OCD and washed my hands until my skin cracked and bled.  ADHD symptoms can be traced to low Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  ADHD is something one is born with.  People who are born with ADHD have a metabolic problem with getting sufficient thiamine into their brain cells.  People who develop symptoms of ADHD later in life are more likely to be low in Thiamine.  The same symptoms appear if one is not getting sufficient thiamine from the diet.  Yes, I developed symptoms of ADHD.  These symptoms improved and disappeared after supplementing with Thiamine and the other essential nutrients. I was diagnosed with Type Two Diabetes.  99% of diabetics of both types are deficient in Thiamine because our kidneys don't re-absorb thiamine properly.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin and digestive enzymes in the pancreas.  Poor digestion (floating, undigested stools) can result with insufficient pancreatic enzymes.  The gall bladder (upper right quadrant) needs thiamine to make and release bile which also helps with digestion.  Constipation is also a symptom of Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies.  The thyroid is another organ that uses lots of Thiamine, too.  Low thyroid hormones can be due to insufficient thiamine, selenium, iron, and iodine.  Swelling of hands, face and feet are also symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.   Our bodies use thiamine to make energy so organs and tissues can function.  Thiamine cannot be stored longer than three weeks.  If our stores are not replenished every day, we can run out of Thiamine quickly.  If we do get some thiamine from our diet, symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously, because a twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent improvement in brain function and symptoms.  Thiamine interacts with all the other vitamins in some way.  Many other vitamins and their metabolic processes won't work without thiamine.  In Celiac Disease you are apt to be low in all the essential nutrients, not just thiamine, but thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first. Talk to your dietician about eating a nutritionally dense gluten free diet.  Keep in mind that processed gluten free foods do not contain sufficient vitamins to be useful.  Processed gluten free foods are filled with saturated fats and excess fiber (that could explain your constipation).  Dairy products, milk and cheese can cause problems because Casein, the protein in dairy, causes the same autoimmune reaction that gluten does in some.  Your current restricted diet is dangerous to your health.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  It's a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal healing.   Discuss with your doctors about correcting nutritional deficiencies as soon as possible.   Interesting reading... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34165060/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21816221/#:~:text=Lipid-soluble thiamin precursors can,and attention deficit%2Fhyperactivity disorder.
