Congratulations Molly! Looking forward to seeing the pictures and hearing all about it :)

Jessica, what have you been up to, wild on monkey island?? Please elaborate :lol::lol:

Hi fellow citizens!

Firstly, I must update you on my Felix (kitty).

The vet was very pleased with him this week and he is responding to the meds! :)

She thinks if he gets through the next month then he may actually have a few years in him yet but cats are notorious for going downhill fast-so fingers crossed for my furry friend !!

Secondly,my son's biopsy results came in today (I've just posted in Parents of babies and children)

and celiac disease has been confirmed.

I am pleased that we know what we're are dealing with, but I am a little down. *sigh*

Only today Alan complained that his hip and legs were hurting,and after 5 mins of running round in the garden he said he was ''too tired Mum'' ( :( )

As Alan has Downs Syndrome he just doesn't understand the ramifications of the diet, and all the negative aspects of the diet are at the forefront of my mind ( :( )

Even a silly thing today dragged me down.

My Mum was over and she wanted to buy him an ice cream (in a cone) but when I explained he couldn't have it anymore she commented that it was much harder for Alan than for Terry (hubby) and I suppose up to now -even though I knew it was coeliac,I didn't want to think about the actual specifics.

We are to be sent an obligatory appointment for the dietician ( :rolleyes: ) and you never know- maybe I can teach her a thing or two.LOL !! :lol::lol: (trying desperately to laugh at my own humour!)

I will go into his school on Monday and 'tackle' the kitchen staff and see if there's anyway they can accomodate him with a school dinner-but I think he'll probably have to have packed lunch.

This will be an oppurtunity for me to brush up on my cooking skills!!( :ph34r: )

Alan's birthday is on Wednesday , and my cake making skills weren't renound even when using gluten flour!!! :lol:

Sorry I'm so gloomy- just needed to vent. It's not the end of the world , I know, but sometimes I feel like life has dealt my son a cr@p hand :(

(Ahhh,hubby just gave me a chocolate bar-said it would make me feel better!! :D )

I explained to my eldest son (he's 17 yrs ) that Alan has definitely got celiac disease and he asked me if he could get tested as he feels he's got some of the symptoms (stomach aches ,loose stools achey bones )

OH DEAR LORD!!! (Damn those Genes!!!!)

I said I'll make an appt to go to the G.P with him in the week :unsure:

Well, I must make the effort to cheer up- I'll see what the 40ish girls are up to, and see what laughs are in the tickle me elbow thread (I need a laugh!)thanks for listening-what would I do without you :D:D

CarlaB Enthusiast

Nikki, it was harder for me when Chloe was diagnosed than it was when I was diagnosed. It's natural to feel as you do. Eat another chocolate bar!

AndreaB Contributor

HUGS Nikki.

I know it's a lot to deal with. We are holding your hand and will help as much as possible.

Hang in there.....isn't chocolate good? Not to much though or you'll get a tummy ache. :)

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Thanks girls!! :)

Carla,-LOVING those braces!!! :D

Not to much though or you'll get a tummy ache. :)

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE!!!!! :lol:

Seriously though, I feel better already getting it off my chest. :)

I'm going to try and find a suitable pic of my new coeliac for my avatar. :)

Hello All!!! We are back from Disney!!!

first Congrats to Molly! WTG on the win!

Now, Disney was great! I was in gluten free heaven!! I couldnt believe it! At one restaurant alone, in the Magic Kingdom, we got the greatest chef to come out and talk to me. He could make me anything on the menu gluten free. He also told me of all the stuff I could get thru out the parks.

The only mishap we had was in Epcot. We went to the restaurant, for my son to eat, as no one else was eating b/c it was the food and wine festival. I waited 20 minutes in line for my turn. I got to the front and a not so nice employee told me there was nothing that they could do for me!!! When I asked about a gluten free hamburger roll, he showed me the ingredient list for Wonder Bread rolls and said that was it!!

I went to Guest Relations a bit upset, the manager took me back to the restaurant, spoke to the manager and got my son a gluten free meal for free! They were also willing to feed my entire family, but we didnt want it.

Enough about the food... we had a great time! Colin loved the characters! We had so much fun at the character dinner with him. It was a blast. It was completely different being there for him than it was for myself, but it was amazing to see him so happy.

I hope this finds everyone well. We are good, just very tired. I am trying to get Colin back into the swing of things here... he is resisting that a bit! I will post a new avatar soon, probably of Colin and some character. Take care everyone!!!

Green12 Enthusiast

Molly, great pictures!!! Looks like you and your friends had so much fun :)

Stephanie, welcome back :) Good to hear you had such a wonderful trip in the land of Disney, only for that one mishap, but sounds like you got it all worked out.

AndreaB Contributor

Sounds like a great trip Stephanie. How often can you rave about a place catering to celiacs?

Will wait for you to get some rest and get back into the swing of things with Colin.....but am interested in seeing the new avatar.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Stephanie, thanks for letting us know about your trip. Disney sounds wonderful ... I have been there many times, but not since diagnosed.

Daxin Explorer

Glad to hear you had such a good time Stephanie. I am planning a trip there in the next year or so. I am impressed they make it so easy to get along there.

2Boys4Me Enthusiast

Stephanie - were you in Florida or California? We are going to Disneyland in California in December. The boys know that I have bought and paid for a trip to be taken sometime "later". Glenn travels a bit for work, so we will go to the airport with the idea of dropping Dad off for a trip and then we'll just all go. Sneaky :ph34r:.

I found some info on the Calgary Celiac site and we will be phoning "Chef Chris" who is supposed to give us the lowdown on eating gluten-free. I also just ordered the Triumph cards, so that might help us out when we're not in the park.

TinkerbellSwt Collaborator

We were in Disney World. I havent been to Disneyland in years. I am sure they will be just as accomodating there. They said all their places to eat have to be. In Disney World even the restaurants that are not Disney owned, such as Rainforest Cafe, Fultons and others have to be up to Disney standards and accomodate all allergys at all times. I thought that was pretty great too!!!

      @DebJ14, You said "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."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Theresa2407
      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
    • Hmart
      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
