OMG.... :lol::lol:

Just emailed to me......

I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the

week. Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's

office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at

9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to school, and it was

already around 8:45 am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes,

so I didn't have any time to spare.

As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene

when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to

make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas,

wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself

a quick wash in 'that area' to make sure I was at least presentable.

I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes,

hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.

I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called

in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the

table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I

was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.

I was a little surprised when the doctor said, 'My, we have made

an extra effort this morning, haven't we?'

I didn't respond...

After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.

The rest of the day was normal ... Some shopping, cleaning, cooking,

etc. After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called

out from the bathroom, 'Mommy, where's my washcloth?' I told her to

get another one from the cupboard.

She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink....it had

all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it".

In my pre-celiac days I loved Olive Garden. One day after some Christmas Shopping, my father and I went to Olive Garden together. It is 30 minutes from where my family lives. SO on the way home I got the usual cramps and such. When we got home we discovered we were locked out and the spare key was in the house....and I was bursting. I had to climb up the roof and in through a 2nd floor window and down to open the door for my dad and then back to the loo.....it was horrible. I was surprised I did not have an accident from that.

Embarrassed by always being sick, my dad thought I had to pee....so he said I could always go in the garage and go over the drain...I finally broke down and told him why that was not an option....could you imagine! :(:(:(

*Deep breath*

''OK,..... well leave it for a couple of days and it might work''

''Wot?? - err so you ain't gonna buy me a new one''

''Err - NO!!!!!''

''But I need a phone ...that's SO unfair.........it weren't my FAULT!!!!!!'' (pitch getting higher & louder)

<Small lecture by Mummy about 'looking after' your own belongings falling on deaf ears as he SLAMS out the house>

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk. 
    • par18
      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools. 
    • trents
      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
