I hope you fit in some of Paula Deen's creations those last 2 weeks for good measure, since the rest of us can't, take one for the team :lol::lol:

Can you even stand it, how Paula eats the food at the end of her shows - esp. the dessets - and you could just DIE from how good she makes it look??? I no longer have expanded cable, so I haven't seen her show since removing gluten...I think it would be a particularly heinous form of torture now... :blink:

Eat up, Chelsea.....

Great picture, Julie!

Aw, c'mon, can't we do fried mozzarella sticks if we "bread" them with Potato Buds instead of bread crumbs?

Hang in there, ChelsE!!! You're a tough girl making it this far. I made it 45 days on my gluten challenge and gave up. I almost threw up in public with no warning and that was the end for me. I gave up gluten for good. I wanted a real diagnosis, just like you, but it ended up not being worth it for me. Good luck!

I know, she is so good at that. She enjoys her food so thoroughly, makes my mouth water. It's better you don't have to suffer through that any longer. :lol:

That is until Chelse gets her own show on the network and makes us all glorious gluten-free goodies ala Paula, you'll need your cable back for when that day comes. :lol:

I only made it for 7 days and started coughing up blood. I figured that it was time to stop.

Someone's been getting into my dreams again! :ph34r:

Better make sure you get up, cause mine will be one of those random unpopular shows on at 6:30 in the morning :rolleyes:

I must say, so far, I'm pretty good at gluten-free southern food. It's in my genes, just like the celiac :)

Haves some Mu Shu Pork w/those pancake tortilla things for me! (Hope you don't get too many tummy problems from this challenge!)

OMG...I love those things. I always ordered those whenever I had Chinese. I can taste it right now...with that sauce on the tortilla. OMG..I had never once thought about those since going gluten-free.

Thanks alot Fiddle-Faddle!!

Just kidding...but I will be thinking about them the rest of the day. ;)

ChelsE...eat some for me too!! :D

Hmmm....maybe I should do a challenge myself. :lol::lol:

The gluten challenge sounds horrific, I'm sorry you're having such a rought time.

I'm scheduled for a biopsy July 18th and though I haven't deliberatley cut out gluten I do eat low carb, so I don't get alot of gluten in my diet. Do you think a week of the gluten challenge would help the biopsy show if it's gluten intolerance?

Biopsies are hit and miss. If it comes back negative you have the choice of going gluten free or not. I recommend gluten-free though. We were tested by enterolab, which is expensive but more sensitive than the blood test and can catch an intolerance before it does a lot of damage. www.enterolab.com if you want to check it out.

I think you need to eat the equivalent of three slices of bread everyday for three months in order for the biopsy to be accurate, but I could be wrong...I've never had one...

Thank you for your input. If I ate that much bread for that long I shudder to think what I would weigh as I don't have the weight loss with this, (whatever it is) like most those who have celiac. But, I think I'll make sure I get gluten for the next week, just in case. Thanks again.

One week either way will not make a difference.

Chels.... I dont think that sounds like much fun :( hope you get a nice pretty answer at the end to remove all your doubts! :huh:

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten! Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten. I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store. The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions. I find the histamine release...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum. Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains...

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!

My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!

      Airborne Gluten?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?
