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. :)

Welcome Sandy :)

Hope everything gets worked out Stephanie!

Andrea- Jenyj did disappear, if we could round up the dingos we could send them out on a search

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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body...

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
