Beth, that is hysterical! I read it to my dh and dd, and it reminds us of my daughter's infancy! Especially the wondering if you've overlooked a 666 birthmark!

Matilda....your post made me laugh. Alot of our neighbors don't have children, and I joke with dh that our kids probably scare them away from even trying! It seems like screams of some sort, whether in play or tantrums, are always coming from our house. I'm sure they wonder what the heck is going on.

You know though, as trying a time as we have had with Emmie and now Lucy, it is still SO worth it. They can be so much fun, and of course I wouldn't change a thing now! That being said, I thought I'd post this funny that I got in an e-mail today. I know the mommies of reflux babies will find this very amusing!

If you can answer yes to six of these, maybe it isn't "just" colic...

Your baby cries six hours a day

For six days a week

It has been going on for over six weeks

The neighbor six doors down can hear the screaming

You tried six formulas or cut six foods from your diet if nursing

You and your baby need six changes of clothes per day

It takes six hours to feed six ounces

Your baby never sleeps for more than 60 minutes at a time

Your baby spits up six times after each bottle

You keep wondering if you overlooked a 666 birthmark

At the last six appointments doc said "colic" or "babies just cry"

You dread driving anywhere more than six minutes away

Your baby belches like a six year old

Six hours alone with the baby is the max anybody can take

You do six loads of laundry a week - just for you and the baby

By six pm you want a 7&7

Wishing you a few minutes of peace and quiet,

Beth

Dear Beth,

I will remember this list for when I adopt! He he! Here is a story everyone will enjoy. A woman had just had her first baby. She spit up a lot. She had just seen the exorcist, and thought her baby was posessed! So, she took the child to the emergency room. Once she explained it to their preist, he laughed so hard he had to sit down! LOL! Hope you enjoyed this.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl B)

      New Data on Used Oats

      Thoughtful article. For me the most valuable element of this article is the discussion of IELs. We have many posts on celiac.com from people who have all the symptoms of celiac disease but whose biopsies show no other irregularity than IELs. Perhaps we should be taking that more seriously.

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour...

      Blood results

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose i...

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have...

Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!
