Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to remind you that I'm walking in the International Walk for Celiac Disease in Baltimore this weekend, May 8. IronedOut (Julie) from this forum, is also on my team, Celiac4Life.

For those who aren't familiar with the walk, it raises $ for Dr. Fasano and the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research. Dr. Fasano is an amazing man (my doctor, he saved my life) and is working hard to find out more about Celiac Disease, and hopefully one day find a cure!

So I'm asking for the support of anyone here who is able, even if it's just a couple bucks. My team website is:

You can donate right there, or feel free to let me know if you prefer to donate in another fashion.

Thanks again, I appreciate everyone's support!!

That is great that you are doing that walk. I am going to try to do the one up by the Tappan Zee Bridge in June. It sounds like a great opportunity to help our cause.

Tiffany, where is your link for your walk donations? I don't want to leave anyone out.

I really do appreciate the thought, but I hate asking people for money, especially people I don't know in real life. If you really want to do something, I'd urge you to make a gift of your time at a local support group if there isn't an event near you! :-)

Tiffany, if I had the energy to donate my time, I would work at a women's shelter. But, since I am unable to even get all my personal things done in the home, the donation is the best I can do. I understand your feelings about the donations, but I donate directly to a Celiac foundation and I just thought this was more personal, as I, in cyberspace, knew the walkers. May you have a great walk. BTW, I was born in Seattle and graduated HS there.

Armetta--I'm kind of in the same boat! I still don't feel comfortable being away from a bathroom for that long. Still have a bit of anxiety about certain things. But, it's getting better--slowly! Molly--I tried to contribute to your walk, too, but when I put your name in the search, I get nothing. Help!!

Patty, Put in Molly for the first name and Duncan Stone for the last and it should work. Good Luck.

I forgot to mention - did you click on Molly's link on the first page?

We can't ask for any more! :-)

It's looking like it will be a nice day, my husband will be joining me, and possibly a friend as well.

Hi gang - Lauren and I met up at the Baltimore walk and did our 3 miles for Celiac!! It was a beautiful day - and there were gluten-free treats for all afterwords. It was touching to see 800+ people in the same place that understood the Celiac issue. My one comment to the planners will be that they needed more bathrooms. Too funny to plan an event for 'potty addicts' and not have enough for emergencies. Everyone in line was making sure that the person behind them was having an 'emergency'.

Thanks so much for all of your support; caring donations of kind words to us and dollars to further the research that will help so many in the future!!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
