We do have a blast. Morgan is no good at all with hair tips ... hers just looks that way. Trust me, I've tried to get her to teach me, but she does nothing to it!!

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.

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. :)

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!

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!
