Hello, I'm Philip and I'm knew on this site. :) I read some of the threads and some are really funny! :lol: I just went to a party yesterday and we did an obsticle course. It was AWESOME! Of course, I could not do it because the course involved rolling through glutenated pudding and Flour! <_< Even though I couldn't do it I had lots of fun watching! :P It was awesome untill every one was off the track. The instructors threw flour at everyone; and as if that wasn't enough my freind Daniel gave me a mouth full of Flour! :ph34r: I got glutened.

What are some of your celiac moments? :huh:

I'm new to this site too. I just found out in fact that I am a Celiac last week.

I keep hearing about how a Celiac can't even TOUCH wheat? Is that really really true or is it for some or what?

But as for a moment like that? I don't think I have one.

But I'll tell you something else.

There's a Mexican place called Qdoba that I worked at (I even touched the wheat tortillas and served up the food to customers and never really got sick), but when I ATE there sometimes, oh it was wicked. I thought it was because I made my food so spicy.

Once I was with my girlfriend and I had to stay in the bathroom for half an hour with her sitting alone because of something I ate there.

And the day I found out I had it, and went to Qdoba to get something glutten free (since I called earlier and the manager CLAIMED ALL TORTILLAS there were CORN), and I get there and read the menu which specifically says they are WHEAT! Even the CHIPS AND TACO SALAD SHELLS! I was so pissed off that the guy wouldn't take the time to either carefully find out or wanted to lie to me to get my money. :angry: I ended up ordering something and my mom asked after it was done if it was made of flour. It was. So I couldn't eat my nachos (but I did eat them with some corn chips I got later. Just avoided the flour chips). And their corn tacos (or so they claim) are fine.

Fluffy!!! XD, sorry

Agent Z- A lot of people won't touch things with gluten in them because it gives them skin reactions, breakouts, ect. Others don't have skin reactions or aren't bothered enough to stop touching gluten.; Yep, you learn ya have to dig deeper than what folks tell you. Double checking labels, lots 'o hours of trying to get information from clueless resturants.

My celiac moment was around after going three weeks of being gluten-free. I woke up one morning, when into the kitchen and saw a doughnut. Blissfully I picked it up and popped into my mouth, completely forgetting I wasn't suppose to have gluten :lol: mom got so mad at me for that. I also had an very close encountered with the flour bags at leadership camp that my JROTC goes to. :ph34r: everyone knew not to throw them at me or I'd punch them.

Anyway, welcome both of you to the boards and if you guys need anything give me a PM or an email! :)

Oh Philip! yikes!

my daughter's school had a field day and they do all kinds of obstacle courses and relays and of course one of them involved rolling a rubber fish in flour and relay racing with it. Fortunately they told me about it ahead of time and I was able to provide enough rice flour for the entire school... (they even paid me back for it...) that way I didn't have to worry about the flour being EVERYWHERE and my daughter was able to have fun with the rest of the kids... (I know I'm not a teenager but your story reminded me of that...) maybe if your friends plan to do something like that again you can get rice flour and that way you could participate.

you know how everyone gets different reactions if they ingest gluten? yeah well mine is that exactly two hours after accidentally eating it I begin violently vomiting. well one morning i accidentally grabbed the wrong pack of bluberry waffles and ate them without realizing it. well that morning my choir was going to be singing on the local news channel. as we were driving down there, i puked once, everyone thought it was just nerves. then i puked in the lobby and right before we went on. and the last time it got all over my dress so i couldnt go on. my mom had to come pick me up, and the whole school knew about it by the end of the day. At least everyone at the news channel was really nice about it, and felt bad. that was my most emabrrassing moment due to celiac.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12. Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
