So true.

I go to work, eat, and live coeliac.

A highlight is coming home and checking up on celia.com.

But is has been awesome, and I have learnedso much from you all.

At last I have something (other than hubby) to feel passionate about.

What is housework?

I get on the message board when I'm pumping and realized the other day that if I give up pumping, I'll probably be giving up Celiac.com too, at least partially!!! :( I just don't have this much time otherwise. I guess pumping is a good excuse! :P

Ha ha! Well, the word in my house is that I am huge techny internet dork :lol: So...I can relate... Dh makes fun of me being on the forum--but not in a serious manner. I mean, he belongs to a ferrari forum--so I can make fun of him too (although he visits a few times a week--vs multiple times a day!) Anywho...can't tell what your husband's tone was from your post...but after the initial learning curve wears off you may want to make sure you have some "celiac-free" space carved out in your home where you can talk to your husband about topics not relating to celiac....if that is even a problem for you guys.

DW bugs me as well, but she also has 2 forums she checks a LOT more than I am/can be on here.

I apprecaite all the advice I get, and help when I can.

I do agree that it can be very all consuming, but what else is there. I live in a small town where the nearest support group/local chapter is 65 km (40 miles) away. Even my doctor had to make phone calls to help interpret my blood work.

Thank you all for your support.

Time on this forum is time well spent. It's like taking a college course in gluten-intollerance - and it's free! Can't beat that.

And, yes, I'm spending a lot of time here reading everything I can. I'm sure that after a few months I'll get on with my life and won't need the support here as much - but for now, this place is worth its weight in gold! (uhh, :huh: how much does an internet site weigh??

My husband is retired, but is writing a novel, so he's on the computer all day long. We both have our own computer in our rooms (he in his study and me in my studio on the other end of this very small house) and we have our own email address. Sometimes we email each other :D

TOO FUNNY!!!!

My husband complains of the same thing with me being constantly looking at gluten-free related stuff. I joke that he's just jealous of me. Then I found him the shirt mentioned in my sig below, which he thought was a hoot. But I must say he does fit the 'honorary' category because he pretty well eats what I do (but I cook, so maybe he's just lazy!).

[My hubby teases too. One of our daughters called recently and he told her that I was on the COMPUTER again. He is very supportive, told me not to worry about buying special foods (the higher costs). He was very concerned when I was very sick, could not stop losing weight just a few months ago. Yes, he is a kepper too. I am taking care of him now, he is taking meds for a sinus infection, first one he ever had!!

I would like to get him to go gluten free too, he is eating less now anmd does most of his own cooking. I have not yet baked a cake but maybe i will bake him a glten free BD cake in august. Might start something!!

take care all, evie :):);)

It is addictive. Today I came on here just to ask a question about a supplement and then I had to stop to read the new posts. Then I had to check up on the threads that I've participated in or started and reply. Before I know it way too much time has gone by! But I agree that it is time well spent.

It's the place I go to when I want to make sure that we're not "nuts." Everyone here has had our experiences and fears and anxiety so we don't feel like the outsiders (as we normally do with non celiac people). Although I am not celiac, I experience it with my DH. Hopefully celiacs will eventually be large in number and rule the world! ;)

I feel I've joined your club by default!(as I'm not the coeliac-hubbie is)

I suppose I'm an honoury coeliac (I want that t-shirt) but like Debmidge I am affected by all that having celiac disease entails.

I don't think my hubbie minds me 'dropping in' daily-as I've become his eyes and ears for the G.F diet,and over time,by regularily chatting about any concerns and worries regarding celiac disease,I feel I've built up 'cyber' relationships with people.I can bang on about celiac disease without boring the pants off you guys! :blink: as I know you all understand in a way that my 'real' (as in the flesh)friends don't. :rolleyes:

This board is addictive though :o -For instance the first thread I always read (but haven't posted on) is Rachel-24's OMG,just to see how they are!!! :lol:

My husband can't complain about how much time I spend on here. I only get on the computer once every day or two, maybe an hour at a time. It could become all consuming, but when you're the one being ignored because your spouse is on the computer all the time, and even your kids start rolling their eyes when you ask where dad is ("on the computer of course"), you quickly realize that life is too short to get involved in every single discussion on every single site to the point where it is sucking up all of your free time. It's not fair to the other people in your life.

Sorry, sensitive subject for me! :unsure:

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
