I sincerely doubt that you'll change anyone's mind. I think the best bet for you is to remind yourself that YOU are taking care of YOU the best way you know how. It's their problem if they don't want to open their minds to celiac. They're adults. And when was being a princess a bad thing? (think of the bumpersticker "you say b***h like it was a bad thing!?" I wish you a good time anyhow, and pray for no CC.

Hi C--One Italian girl to another--The only thing you can do is show them how you have everything under control. Just do what you need to do like bring in your own food, check on how they handle it--and OWN the whole thing! It's all in the attitude :D . Hard headed is right--I've got lots of relatives like that! Can't tell them nothing. Anyway, have a wonderful time--so you're going to have to Tivo The Sopranos? :o

DH's family is Italian and I find the best way to deal with them is just ignore their ignorance. Sure I try and educate them (but after they've offered every dessert on the table twice you kinda catch on that it's a lost cause). Then I just laugh my butt off after we leave reliving all the idiotic questions and comments they made during the visit. I am really lucky that DH is one of my biggest supporters helping educate family and friends - so he laughs along with me. I think this past Easter we spent an entire hour car ride home cracking up at the stupidity.

I am so glad that you had such a wonderful time and that your cousin really, really listened to you. Who knows, but you might have helped some of your relatives. I would love to hear about the bouquet - how many did you stomp to get it :lol::rolleyes:

It sounds like a wonderful wonderful day for you (and I'm sure the bride had a good time too). You've turned into quite the ambassador for celiac. And I hope your cuz can fatten you up!! (married?) So when do we plan YOUR wedding? :P

So glad you had a great time--it sounded wonderful :D And BTW, what is that with Italians and "the wooden spoon"? My grandmother used to 'threaten' us with it--but never did anything! ;)

Glad you had a good time...it's about time you have a good time. I am one-fourth Napledon and one-fourth Sicilian (other side is Scotch/German/English-maybe Irish that's questionnable) but I grew up with the Italian side. People look at me weird when I tell them I am part Italian because I have milk colored skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. I definitely recall the wooden spoon. Does anyone remember the older ladies who used to do the "eyes" prayers when someone was sick?

So you caught the bouquet? I don't know if it means automatic get married, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if you tell us you're married within the year. ..I can hear your family now "Yea, but is he Italian?" You're going to have to snag Dr. Fasano for them.....

Oh I [giggle] want to put it on the record; my next hubby is going to be a doctor this time.

He will be a Gastroenterologist -- I can just feel it. [giggle]

Could you see it now?

Think about it -- pretty funny stuff.

Someone who could know you inside and out?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
