I'm sure the weight will fall off as easily as it piled on ... if gluten caused it, gluten-free will fix it! Don't worry too much.

I've got to get the baby boy to bed. By the time I get back you all will probably be gone. :(

Such is life with little ones. :P I miss most of the fun this time of evening though. Gotta let Mitch on for awhile too. He is usually on while I'm waiting for Seth to go to sleep. He's into playing in the crib now that he can stand up. So now it takes longer for him to settle down and go to sleep.

I look, thanks. :)

G'nite Penguin. :)

Come back tomorrow and tell us whats up with the challenge....is it officially over today? Does this mean you've had your biopsy?? How did it go??

Didnt you lose weight the first time you went gluten-free.....I'm sure the weight will come off once you're back on the diet. Are you all glutened out now...did you at least have donuts at all during the challenge??

I miss donuts....I see them all day at work...see people eating them....smell them baking...dang....I wish I could at least have a Kinnickinnick donut. Even those rock hard frozen things look pretty darn appealing to me. Gaaaawd....if I ever bought a bag of those theres no doubt I would Rachel them...it would probably be some kind of record or something.

Isnt it sad that our donuts come frozen in a bag? :blink:

How come noone makes fresh donuts...the kind that are still warm and soft?? This is something I need to put on my "lifetime" list. One day I will have a soft warm delicious gluten-free chocolate donut. :)

Wow.....I think I've had too much sugar today and now I want more and more and I'm now rambling on about donuts.... :ph34r:

I think its time for bed.

G'nite everyone. :)

Hey did anyone see the Anthony Bourdain -Beirut special on "No Reservations" last night? (travel channel) Unbelievable -he went to do a cooking show and ended up stranding when the bombing started. I missed the first half :( .

Andrea, it is good to see you are still your perky organized sweet self.

Susie-dingo--How are the girls, the decorating and the cement staining going? Also, in the-matters of the heart-you are in my thoughts and prayers :) .

I have an announcement:

THE GLUTEN CHALLENGE IS OVER!!!!

Praise God! The tooth fairy! Santa Claus! The Pillsbury Doughboy!

Funny thing is that right now I'm so preoccupied with weight watchers that I'm barely noticing the gluten-free thing. DH had to remind me to read labels in the store, although everything I picked up is in my gluten-free rotation, I did double check labels, though. I like gluten-free food better, anyway :P

Yes, I ate donuts while I was on the challenge just because I could, I don't even like donuts. I ate tons of muffins though, and an entire pizza yesterday :ph34r:

The biopsy went fine, not quite sure what the dr said, as I was out of it and Adam wasn't paying that much attention. :rolleyes: I guess he said that everything looked normal, except that my intestine was a little red, but he had no reason to suspect celiac damage. At any rate, he did biopsies (I think around 8, that's what he said in the appt) that I'll have results on by the end of the week and put me on the gluten-free diet. Boo. Now to get all of my family members tested :rolleyes:

Chelse, I am so excited for you!!!!! Congratulations on making it through to the biopsy, and best of luck getting started with your new gluten-free life :):)

Hi Robbin :)

Good luck Morgan with no sugar today! I like your new picture :)

I never really ate a whole lot of donuts in my lifetime, but after becoming gluten-free I wanted them so bad :lol:

You know what are so good? Imo at least, the Enjoy Life Foods cinnamon bagels, not really donut like but a distant runner up. Unfortunately there is amaranth flour in them and I am avoiding all gliadin grains as well :(

SusanW- that's cute your daughter took the picture, she did a good job!

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
