Hi, I'm Amy. Nice to meet you! :)

Our story is long and convoluted and painful, but sadly typical, so I'll spare you the details ;) .

The short version is that I have celiac disease and at least 3 of our 4 sons have it, too. I think the fourth would have been diagnosed later if he'd continued on a regular diet. The older two showed no symptoms until they were over 6 years old, and the blood tests were the same for all.

We all eat gluten-free, even DH does at home. We've been gluten-free for about a year. I try really hard to put the tough stuff behind us and just be happy! The boys are doing really well now but we had some very hard times.

I'll admit the costs of gluten-free food are killing us! And I've accidentally glutened us all twice in the past month, after being successful for a really long time :rolleyes: .

Anyway I'm sure I'll tell more of our story as time goes by, I look forward to meeting you all!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
