That is wonderful news Celia. Don't feel bad as we have all been there and done that. And everyone is right - this is called a support group. You have a great doctor with a wonderful sense of humor.

How do I add my name under MY photo (he he)?

Hope everyone is doing better tonight.

<------------------------------------------------------is my bratty cat lounging by the pool. He LOVES water. He is a big nerdball. One day this summer I had looked out to see what he was doing (he only gets let out every once in a while and I always keep my eye on him). Here he was......paws dangling in the pool. I snuck back inside grabbed the camera and snapped his picture. So that's him...........chillin at the pool.

He also spends a great deal of his time indoors in the bathtub or sink. When I take a bath in my big tub he is sittin on the edge trying to play in the water. When I get out, he gets in :blink: Such a wierdo.......

-Jessica :rolleyes:

OMG this is my mom's cat, she has three, and one HAS to play in the bathtub, the sink, is obsessed with water....ha ha ha ha I have never known of another cat this way! so crazy.....very cute..... :)

hi everybody....ate some nuggetts today :ph34r: But what could I do? my friends went out and brought them back, I simply could NOT be rude....ugh.....feeling slightly kicked in the gut tonight, but not too bad...

such a short post, gotta go....trying to catch up on too much - - very tired....must sleep.....

JUDY!!! good to SEE you finally! graet picture of your wonderful, smiling face....

And Armetta/mouse who is now Celia's former ostrich.....confusing but fantastic.....

good to see ALL of you! :):):)

lindalee Enthusiast

Hi everyone, Hope everyone is feeling better. I keep thinking of Celia and that "tap water" issue. I sure hope she is ok. I think the osmosis water is what I may do but don't know what kind. Any suggestions? Do they take up a lot of space? :rolleyes:

Hi everyone......sad little dingo-girl meltdown....friends just left, it was so wonderful having them here for three nights...three extra people is crowded in my little house, but, the silence is screaming now...everything WOULD have been okay had we not seen R's brother at a yard sale this morning.....kind of funny, not one but TWO of R's ex-girlfriends coming up to him....so, he and I chatted for about 20 minutes, and he caught me up to date on everything....but now, just moping around here. *sniff* will the sadness over R. EVER fully go away? :(

God help me, I sent him a two-sentence email just now.....CISSIE - BRING YOUR GUN AND SHOOT ME......what was I thinking......blatant online confession.....dear gaaaaaaaaaawd..... :o

sorry this is so sad, you know how I am......it will get better, just a rough one today.....PLEASE say a collective prayer that I will fully recover from this man. There is a hug that only R. can provide, a lap and shoulder and strong comfy-bear warmth and solidness that is like no other, and I hate him for that - - he truly is a wonderful person, just, dysfunctional and non-committal.

gotta go .....this is another post that could be erased soon..... :ph34r::o

Susan, sounds like a sort of R-Glutening to me, a little cc from brother & ex-girlfriend, & then you went & took a bite of the real thing! Hope he's out of your system soon.

Judy, nice to see your radiant smile!

Celia, there was an E coli outbreak in the water of the town next door. What's going on here!!!???

Leah

okay now back to sobbing.....*sniff* :(

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

Leah-thanks for the nice comments re smile.. :lol:

Susan--I spent 1/2 hr trying to figure out about this "R" person...I've been bopping in and out of forums so not sure where to go to find the deleted post..now are there 2 guys involved here??? :blink::ph34r:

Is there the singer and then R or are they one in the same. I know your sad w/o your company but think that Leah really hit it here...

Susan, sounds like a sort of R-Glutening to me, a little cc from brother & ex-girlfriend, & then you went & took a bite of the real thing! Hope he's out of your system soon.

I know your sad..'sniff' from me too...but when doing research :blink::o:huh::blink::o on your past threads trying to solve this mystery..PLEASE. ....just post

yes 1 person

No 2 different guys.

SO I CAN STOP FRETTING AND GET OFF THE DANG COMPUTER... ;):rolleyes:

LOVE YOU HONEY.

Judy,

This R is a new R, the other one is from x number of years ago, so 1 guy.

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

omg THANK YOU ANDREA!!!! :rolleyes:

wHEN READING I WAS PRAYING THAT IT WASN'T THEOLD ONE AS HE SEEMED SO TOXIC TO HER.

nOW DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS "R" WAS THIS A LONG TERM THING???

POOR SUSAN...OUR DINGO GIRL...

LET'S SEND HER HUGS AND LOTS OF TISSUES..

HAVE TO FINALLY GET OFF HERE.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Judy, I'm with you, this R is new to me ...

Susan, there are some guys you never get over ... you just move on. You will love the guy you end up with, but it doesn't mean that you ever "got over" the guy you didn't ... you just move on. Sometimes I think email should be outlawed, it makes it too easy to say things you would never say in person!!!

I didn't really catch up, just read the last two pages ... going to check in on R'ville, then back to the crowd in the living room! I got a little overwhelmed and snuck back here for a while for some quiet time.

DingoGirl Enthusiast

oh sweet friends, so sorry to cause confusion! Judy - remember, just PM me - - don't go back into any threads!!! no, R - well heck, that's ROBERT. the other one - JR - he's more of an...irritant. Bad news years ago but I am long over that one and was never truly in love.

Robert..... :( he's the one I've been whining about since I got on this forum in January. Gave up gluten adn R at about the same time, but he was still in my life, but he'd broken up wtih me a couple of weeks before dx. then....still off gluten....back onto robert. :ph34r: NOT GOOD. gave up Robert and my wine-drinking for good about 9 or 10 ?? weeks ago. feels like an eternity. Most days I'm okay....but not always. I just wonder if I"m ever NOT going to be in love with him? :(

DEAR GAAAAAAAAAAWED Cecile, don't you EVER feel bad again for your mucus-y days on here....I am the queen of baring the soul and sniveling whining.....aghhhhhhhhhhh :o

Carla, thank you for your wise words. I just want to MOVE ON......and today was a snag. a cc, as Leah so cleverly put it. :)

OMG - - OMG - - - OMG - - - good thing he's so freaking busy, a single parent with his own business and doens't care or have time to read any of this....OMG what if other people I know are reading this...ha ha ha ha ha ha doesn't matter, if they've known me for more than a month they'd know this anyway :lol::lol::lol:

Just bought tires. how heinous is that? wanted to drive to the mountains, and realized that I seriously could not. Such an annoying expense. Think of all the FUN things you could buy with $500??? :angry:

thank you all for your support......I want to move on....I want to move on...I WANT TO MOVE ON...... :(

Hi, Susan, just parachuting in here again to check on everyone. The right guy for you will NOT be dysfunctional, no matter how great he hugs. Sap that I am, I believe that true love ALWAYS comes with great hugs--but without dysfunctionality (is that even a word?).

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

tHANKS Susan for clearing that up for me.

Just think,,,those $500. tires will take you into the mountians to find that 'perfect one for you'

hugs

hi dingbat.....no more snot...slightly sad but tears are over....going to bed very early tonight as didn't sleep enough with those girls here....

just working on some burps here.... ;)

(this is a joke, in reference to the burping thread....help us......we feed off each other...... :lol::lol::lol: )

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Yes... yes... it's a sickness... :o:ph34r::lol::lol:

you know what they say...or do they?....the most dysfuntional ones in the room will always gravitate toward one another...

:lol::blink::lol::blink::lol:

Guess that explains why I keep finding myself here!

yup, come on over and sit a spell.....and yes, you do fit right in Leah! :D

queenofhearts Explorer

All this talk of burping is taking me back... my brothers, husband & sons were/are all very proud of their burpability. I am but an average burper, yet I keep ending up in the middle of burp contests!

DingoGirl Enthusiast

burpability.....excellent....so, there are contests there? :lol:

queenofhearts Explorer

Yes, I have 2 brothers & 2 sons, & that means all sorts of contests! Usually I am called upon to judge, which I hate, since someone always ends up mad at me. So I'm telling you now YOU ARE BOTH THE BEST!!

good googly moogly... :ph34r::lol::lol:

YAAAAAAAAH! It has been driving me UP THE WALL trying to remember where "Good googly moogly" comes from, but I finally remembered! It's from a Nick Jr. cartoon that was on about 5 or 6 years ago called "Maggie and the Ferocious Beast."

I can finally sleep now....

This is so funny, Fiddle--last night my husband and I were watching "Dining On Asphalt" on the Food Network. Alton Brown said "Good googly moogly" when talking about a gigantic burger!

I didn't know about the cartoon, though--I've only heard it on here from Celia :D

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.

      That's what came immediately to my mind as well, Bell's palsy. And don't assume every medical problem is connected to her celiac disease as there is still something known as coincidence. Get this checked out by medical professionals and push for some serious testing. Don't let them brush you off. Be appropriately assertive.
    • Mnofsinger
      Hi @CeliacMom502, As always, consult a medical professional on any advice you receive.  I experience have experienced this exact symptoms you're referring to and will receive them, typically after being accidentally glutened. I've recently been researching this (that's how I came across this posting), because I've been trying to nail down how long I've actually had the celiac genes "activated" or if I was just born with it. Now I wasn't diagnosed until 2023 with Celiac Disease, but not all these other health issues I've had previously point to it all connecting. In 2013 I ended up with Bell's Palsy that I had facial paralysis on one side of my face, where I couldn't even get a twitch for six months, but it took almost a year for "full recovery". I have now came to the conclusion that, because of the B12 vitamin deficiency caused by celiac disease (when not following a strict gluten free diet), caused me to have prolonged recovery from this, because the nerves were healing at a much lower rate> I'm not sure if your daughter has ever had Bell's Palsy, but ever since I have, some of my symptoms when I accidentally get glutened (including right now as I type this message 😄) include a migraine that goes across my eyes, and a shooting pain as you have described that will go across my left cheek and upper jaw, in addition to pain behind my left ear, and painful to the touch. Now, I did immediately go on a gluten free diet, and almost all these symptoms vanished after 3-4 months, but that time frame depends upon the "damage" already done previously.  Hope my situation helps even now this is now almost three years later from your message!

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.
