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!

She takes a lot of pictures. She is our little photographer. When we went to Disney World she was always snapping away. Ha!

I've never been to Rachelville before - is fun reading all the posts...

I had a thought after I read a post about the pillsbury dough boy....

He looks bloated and anemic - I think he need to cut down on the gluten dough and see a GI :P:lol:

Hi all.

I did read everything so this isn't really a drive-by....

BTW I always love everyone's new pictures even when I don't single them out. Susan, your daughter did a good job.

Morgan,

Hang in there....it will be worth it. I need to curtail my sugar eating again too (enjoy life chocolate chips) :ph34r:

Robbin,

Always good to see you! I hope you are feeling better now.

Julie,

I tested low allergic for gliadin foods and have also cut them out....except for the millet flour for the bread....but I don't have that much. Usually if we have french toast.

Welcome 2kids4me!

Come back and visit us. If you want a job, application is on page 1 of this thread and we'd need to know your interests/hobbies/real life skills (whatever you want to share) for placement. Name if you want to share it too.

Just doing a drive by also.. playing catch up today with all the insurance agencies that want to put us in collection b/c the insurance companies are wacko. It costs way too much to have a sick member of your family. The costs are unreal.

penguin.. glad you survived the gluten challenge. I dont think I could ever do it.

Take care all.. will catch up maybe later tonite!

Oh, cool I'd love to live in Rachelville - it sounds like a place I can call "my happy place"...

Here is the application for a job in R-ville.

Are you gluten free? Yup, and finally remembered to cook the gluten-free pizza crust BEFORE i put toppings on

Do you promise to never infiltrate Rachelville with gluteney foods? no gluten shall hitchhike into Rachelville with me

Do you promise to never bring gigantic Auxigro ridden produce into R-Ville? absolutely

Special skills, I am a mom first and Animal Health Technologist by night - DH is a vet and abuses me after hours by calling me to help him with cats, and dogs, and cows and other furry creatures with four legs. My specialty there, is getting sick cats to eat ( an art form, if you know cats..)... moving quickly when those furry creatures need emerg care...and helping people whose furry family members are very sick..

I like to walk my dog in grassy fields - and let her loose to chase grasshoppers.

This doggy of mine is a "rescue" and needed lots of understanding and help learning that we were never going to leave her and no one would hurt her... and now she is the best dog you could ask for...just never say walk, leash, car ride, or bike ride within earshot of the dog without meaning it ...

Is there an opening at the vet clinic? :)

and my name is Sandy B)

Hi Sandy...welcome to Rachelville. :D

You get to do whatever you enjoy most here (except eat gluten)...sooo if you want a job at the Vet...its yours. I think we have a vet already but I'm sure we could use more....I think most of us have pets and we do wanna keep them healthy and happy. :)

Maybe Andrea could post the list...I have forgotten who our vet is. :(

Is it Tavi?? :unsure:

Chelse...AWESOME!!

I still cant believe you made it through...I could never have done it! YAY for gluten-free food!! I have a feeling you wont be missing the other stuff anytime soon. ;)

Sandy: Veteranarian technician; Animal caretaker

Wow, sounds like you have a great job! I always wanted to work with animals but didn't like science and am not fond of the idea of putting an animal down (I'd cry for everyone's beloved pets). Don't know how I'd do with surgery type stuff. Love animals though.

Jeny is the other veterinarian. Haven't seen her much lately.......need to track down. :)

Julie, you're right this place has been deserted. I guess it turned out for the best today though... I was able to get most of my packing done, my old dresser emptied and all the clothes washed :) Now that's quite an accomplishment and I never would have been able to do that if this place was busy :rolleyes:

I'll be in there in a minute to taunt you ... I'll stick my fingers in the meringue, then say how yummy it is, then I'll eat a few more chocolate chips in front of you -- hee, hee.

fue solo porque no tenia una computadora para 4 semanas y no usaba el internet para 4 semanas estaba hablando mucho espanol y no mucho ingles. queria usar las computadoras pero para los aldeanos es una regla que no usan las computadoras para nada sin su tarea del credito y no pueden usar las computadoras sin un consejero.

En el ano proximo quiero ser una consejera y no hablare ingles por 10 semanas todo el verano. ¡es muy dificil pero muy divertido!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By par18 · Posted

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
