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. ;)

AndreaB Contributor

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 :D

Rachelville is deserted, this is what Susie Q was talking about before, so scary.........as she would say, hold me :lol:

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

morganb Newbie

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.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.

      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
    • knitty kitty
      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?

      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @Nicbent35! There is something called gluten withdrawal that might have come into play here as well. As strange as it might sound, gluten has some addictive properties similar to opiates and some people feel physically and emotionally out of sorts for a few weeks after it is removed from their diet. There are two recognized gluten disorders, celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (aka, NCGS or just "gluten sensitivity" for short). They have symptoms that overlap. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the small bowel lining and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel. There are specialized blood antibody tests that have been developed for diagnosing celiac disease. NCGS, on the other hand, does not damage the lining of the small bowel. No tests are yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out in order to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS but NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. Please be aware that if your daughter is on a gluten free diet, the celiac disease blood antibody tests will not give valid results. For the testing to be valid, she would need to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the day of the blood draw. If you remove gluten from her diet as an experiment, valid testing can be done later on but she would need to be restarted on gluten for weeks/months ahead of the blood draw. Also be aware that once on a gluten free diet, restarting gluten can produce more severe symptoms because all tolerance may have been lost.
