If yall just heard a scream- nay, an ear-splitting SHRIEK- of pure shock and rage coming from a southerly direction, that was ME! Somebody just suggested to a 13 year old child that it's ok to order food with a little gluten, as long as you take some GlutenEase with it! :angry::angry: :angry:

:angry: Just the sort of false information we do not want coming from this board (or to people in general). For heaven's sake!

Amanda!! This is why we sane (and hilarious) individuals must stick together! Thank gawd fer Sillyville...... . ..

I gotta commend everyone for jumping to the aid of that poor, confused thirteen year-old before he picked up his bottle of Glutenease and headed for Pizza Hut. You all sounded serious but caring and concerned, and that's exactly what was needed.

Well.....I had two glasses of champagne and one glass of wine, floated around the pool and chattered on and on about life, death and everything.

AND THEN, SOMETHING INCREDIBLE....... :lol::lol:

I went into our hostess's gorgeous house to go pee. While I was sitting on the toilet, I reached for one of the magazines that were stacked in a basket beside me. I pulled out an ancient Readers Digest....from 1978. Bemused, I flip through it. And there it was. Unbelievable. A two-page feature entitled "I Am Fifi's Anal Glands". I was chortling madly....could not read it, just looked at the diagram and continued laughing.

The chances of that.......

I should have asked my friend if I could take the article, and put the diagram up as my av.

Did you know that they can get impacted, just like wisdom teef? :blink:<_<

There it is!!! But that article is new - - honest to gawd, this was truly in a 1978 Readers Digest. I'm wondering if it was the same author as the writer in The Dog Star Daily, reprinting on a 30th anniversary er sumthin'......

Anyway, I did not read the article, as I was laughing and had to get back to my company, so I don't know if it is the same. Toooooo phuneeeeeee..........

Okay.....you guys still think I've imagined all this, don'cha?

I walked calmly into the camp, spotted Jack amongst a group of other kids, waved, and he trotteed over, obviously surprised. He said, "Hey, Mom.....you're here! Man, I was sure you were gonna be SO late. You had yer debauchery lunch today, didn't you?" :lol::blink::ph34r:

I know YOU GUYS read it. It's the people that actually should be trying to learn something that skip over other people's non-supportive comments.

(Thanks for the g-ease bump, Patti . Makes me feel like we're some sort of conspiracy group, dedicated to irradicating ignorance (and failing, badly))

that made me crack up........

I haven't gone outside of psillyville much.......that thread was too long to read but.....

PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! What are you THINKING, posting with The Others???????????????????

(actually, sound advice IS needed there evidently)

Poor Amanda was trying to explain what actually happened in clinical trials in a hospital, and even that had to be "bested".

harrummmphff :angry: Even Patteeey was about to blow? that's really saying sumfin'

Zao Chen Hao, Sillies! (Mandarin Good Morning in anticipation of Beijing 2008).....

Can it be possible that tomorrow is August 1st??! :o Where is the summer going? We've had so much dampness here, it feels like summer just began this week. Sigh..........

Unfortunately, I was glutened at my lunch get-together yesterday. Dunno what it was, but can barely get me shorts done up this morn (just looooove this look :angry: ) and the cramps are here.....

Being glutened also causes my blood sugar to spike, so there was that to deal wif as well. Exercise is my signature way of combatting spikes, so I shall attempt a good run this am.

Fat belly and all.

OMG.....Janet!! I am now officially your avatar........The resemblance is striking and fearful. Perhaps I'd best exercise in the house....... :lol:

Morning Everyone!

So I am off @ 12 today and will be gone the rest of the week to my moms for our annual summer fun August. We always take a few days together to do this and I love it. We plan on go wild berry picking in the morning on Friday. I do have to pick John up tomorrow but my mom and I are going to hit up Sal's, which by the way you guys have got to see my new tank top I got there yesterday at 1/2 price day. I love it! Very intricate looking.

we always take my mom to the fireworks tomorrow evening. Saturday is the annual town parade....is our float registered? We still have time to get it in order!!!!

Then we are heading to the county fair. I decided not to enter any artwork this year, I haven't had the time to focus on it as much. I am going to check out what other entries there are. There is so many talented artists that enter the fair. It is always fun.

So if you don't hear from me as much. I will try to check in. Bye Guys!!!!

      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 .
