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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Am I nuts?

      By GlorietaKaro · Posted

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
