I have to say Ptaum, that before you pointed it out (during the previous CeliacS conversation . . . if you want, I'll go back and quote it), I don't think I ever paid too much attention to someone typing/saying CeliacS. Now when I see/hear it, it's like fingernails on a chalk board . . . thanks ever-so-much for the enlightenment.

:D

There's just SO MUCH of it .. . ..AGHHHHH!!

This time it wasn't just because it was in the acct name, but that the post said it 2 or 3 more times, and the celiac in question had just joined the week before.

I also have a gnack for remembering stuff that didn't even happen.

<chuckle chuckle> :lol:

Well! I hope you slept well, Ptaum,

I most certainly DID sleep quite well, thank you.

Sarah, no smoking mountain in addition to its absence in your hand, mouth & lungs??

Today's the Las Vegas wedding! Of course, hoping Kissey2 catches all of the marital projectiles...

Hehehehe the nuptials were high noon Sunday :P

Bah! Bien sur.......I knew this..... :rolleyes:

So, my mom's eightieth birthday is next week, and we've long been talking about a big surprise party for her. Well, last week when I had the family over for dinner, she said about five times, "I do NOT want any party!! I mean it! Nothing! Just call me and say Happy Birthday". So we told her we were going to have a birthday party for her, and simply not invite her. She seemed quite happy with that, failing to sense the ridiculousness of such a plan. :huh:

...This is my life...... <_<:lol:

Where is everyone? Patti? Nikki? Sarah? And we haven't heard from Alex lately...I think about Colin all the time, and I'm dying to hear how he's doing...

Hi Emily :)

I'm here--in and out. We had a busy weekend and today I'm cleaning and dealing with about a ton of laundry :lol:

I did come on and read, though, so I'm up on everything sillie :D So funny about your mom's birthday. She'll have fun once she's there with everyone--you are doing a party, right?

My dad turns 80 next week and my sister and I are giving a surprise party for him at her house on Saturday. We'll drive up Saturday morning and hopefully get there by noon (it's about a 4 hour drive). We will spend the night there and spend Sunday afternoon with Mark's mom, sister and aunt before driving home Sunday night.

It should be fun--we expect about 25 people, several of which I haven't seen in a while. I hope my other sister (the one with the depression) will come. With her, we really won't know until that night--she'll either be there, or she won't. :(

It seems as though many of us have parents born in April.....could this be the common thread that binds us? Emily- Your mom...too funny. My dad turns 78 April 19th and he'd say the SAME thing!!!!!!!!

Patti- Didn't know your sister was still the thick of it :( That makes me sad. :wub::( It's a tough time of year.........

Hehe my Dad's Bday is Apr 4th!! :D

Hi Sillies...I am writing from my bed where I am sitting home sick in my Pj's. I was ready to go to work but I didnt get there...I was just not feeling well enough to go. So I napped until 11 and now I am just hanging out in bed surfing the net...

Sounds like a good plan. Feel better soon! <that's an order .. .oh damn .. . ..my authority was usurped pages ago>

Patti, such a shame about your sister .. . .. :(

Am I recalling correctly that she doesn't believe diet can do that and gluten-free isn't worth a shot?

Yes!! I shall phone my mother this evening, tell her it's all solved...My brother, sister and I will continue to organise a big eightieth birthday party, only it will be for PATTI'S DAD, and she really should come. It's perfect!! Patti, what is your dad's name? I'll need it for the cake. And what size shirt/pants/socks is he? My mom may wish to pick him up something...

I love it. My mom wanted NO Happy Birthday stuff from anyone in the family, and now there's a whole bandwagon..."Uh, Mom....many, many peoply are celebrating your eightieth today, kind of like the simultaneous lights-out-around-the-world thing"... :lol::lol:

Gee, it's been pretty quiet in Sillyville today.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, Manda, hope you are better soon.

I hope Sarah is doing well, I haven't heard anything. She was last on the boards about 11 hours ago.

Parental birthdays, is it. None in April here. February and August, and for both of them, 80 has come and gone. But we can still all have a celebration of sorts on the seventh.

Another April Birthday! Another common thread amonst us Sillies :rolleyes:

Thanks Tom, about my sister....yeah, she had a breakdown and was hospitalized last year for several weeks on two separate occasions. I have explained the Celiac link, sent up reams of articles and other information--and to no avail :(

The kicker (and something I can't believe I'm the only one in my family remembering) is that several years ago she saw a Kinesiologist who put her on a diet that omitted gluten among other things. She reported then that she felt the best she had ever felt. Slowly as she reintroduced other foods, she began this horrible spiral downward. She hates conventional doctors and won't seek testing--her husband is no help at all. I have appealed to him every way I know how. I've hit a brick wall....

It will feel a little akward if we see him this weekend--I was a bit pushy at one point. But at least I was trying to help. <_<

Well, I've been to Las Vegas twice, and it was pretty far out. My last visit was in 1993, and I understand it has just gotten further and further away from reality. The hotels just keep getting bigger and bigger. In 1993 we stayed at Harrah's and thought it was big, but at least three new properties more than twice the size were under construction. I've been to Reno a couple of times, and would much rather go there.

It sounds like you had an interesting and exciting time, Susie. You must tell us all about it.

Party next Monday! Oh, yeah! B)

Patti, our anniversaries are only 4 days apart! :D Brian's and my 8th anniversary is tomorrow. Yup, we got married on April Fool's Day. (I was destined to end up here with the sillies eventually. :P )

Weelllll, I did smoke a few cigarettes today. :ph34r: But only like a quarter of what what I normally would, if not less. Still working on it.

Welcome back Susie! Eek, on the barfing! What happened!?

Morning, Sillies!!

Happy Anniversary, Sarah! I was going to come on with some insane story about my dad being a Roman gladiator last night when we visited him, and seeing the yeti sitting in a McDonalds on our way home, and then proclaiming, "Ha!! April fools!!"

Then I realized that I do this kind of thing every day... <_<:rolleyes:

Well, I've been to Las Vegas twice, and it was pretty far out. My last visit was in 1993, and I understand it has just gotten further and further away from reality.

We've been planning a trip there ever since we got back from Europe...our next "far destination"....We thought about this December, but the money just ain't there right now. Maybe in a couple of years. I just hate all this having to PAY for stuff.... :huh::rolleyes:

Party next Monday! Oh, yeah! B)

Okay, Susie!....On with the Vegas stories....

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
