Awesome!!! I'm already learning how to do certain 'special' things so I can be a 'backup' person for when one guy's wife has a baby. Makes me feel good!

That's great!! I'm so happy for you :D

Way to go, Bun-Bun.

No time, except to ask Em and Bevel what makes them think I have hypoglycemia?? :o Not to my knowledge. It's just that my stomach always starts digesting itself if it doesn't have any food to work on, and then all hail breaks loose with the big bloat and stuph :P Don't have any of the classic symptoms when I looked them up :unsure:

If I may butt in here :lol: What a surprise, right? :P

Shroom, I noticed when I was reading about yer reaction the other day that I think what I've been experiencing is closer to what you have. I used to get panic attacks back in the day before I knew about the Celiac, but they have never happened since and those were different. The last few weeks, I have had 3 "occurrences" of pounding heart, sweaty hands and feet, and chills right after. It lasts about 10-15 minutes and then I'm fine, save for being a little wiped out

All 3 times, I have had gluten-free bread and/or white rice beforehand. I first thought about hypoglycemia, but I had blood tests just recently and my sugar is always fine. I wonder though--and for you too--about reactive hypoglycemia. It doesn't show up always in regular testing, but does in an all-day test. Not eating can trigger it, as can alcohol, sugar (or foods that digest as sugar), and caffeine.

I dunno--just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm also very interested in what Em and Bevvie have to say :D

I think I immediately thought of hypoglycemia after your description of your symptoms, Shroom, because my head always seems to be there - - within the world of blood sugar issues. The classic symptoms of low blood sugar happened to you, if I remember correctly: Shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness.. .... . . ...and it typically happens when one has gone too long without food. Stomach issues aren't normally present, however, but nausea can be, as can tingling around the lips, general confusion and a hammering heartrate.

Because you had gone so long without food, and were experiencing some of these symtoms.. . .. . well, it seems to be walkin' and talkin' like a duck... . . ..

Is this like the women who live together all have their periods at the same time thing? People who post together all end up with hypoglycemia?

Well, see, I don't get the sweaty hands and feet or the chills, but I am totally wiped out after because it can go on for 3 hours :o Howevah, coming home on an empty stomach and having a cocktail!!! Now that's not good!

hmm. I get the heart pounding thing if I eat too much white rice. Never thought to wonder about it, just figgered I'd stop eating rice. :P

It's not just pounding, it's erratic as hell, stopping and starting, and the pulses in my head are so painful :blink:

Yeah, I unnerstand you live in this world :( but I'm really not keen to go there :unsure: No shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness. No tingling lips, no confoosion. In fact, it is exactly the same as the way I react after eating the high lectin foods (which give me the bloating)

I'm with Em on this one. Same thing happens to me. Quack.

I'm not quacking yet :ph34r:

Thanks for all your responses. It's just that when I checked all the classic symptoms none of them seemed to be me :blink:

You should be able to. From within the topic, to the left of the page navigation buttons is a blue button with an inverted black triangle. Click it and you will be asked to type a page number. The riotous phun starts at page 1700.

oh.....I see. They's just hiding it <_<

Speaking of classic sillie moments, remember how we pulled off 100 pages in a weekend when Soozle was kween? Leesigh, as I recall, was instrumental in that one :lol:

That's what they've been talkin about, psilly! Page 1700 :P

.....and it was Jan-knit's idea. However, I think I did pull night duty that weekend.

...or the yeti & the care bear :blink::lol:

I think I came on the scene in the middle or towards the end of the yeti and totally missed the care bear :unsure:

Art recap by Lisa

Royalty recaps by Emily

A page or so after that Janet recaps Emily's greetings to potential new Psillies. :lol: :lol:

Jess is giving us recaps of recaps :lol:

Are ya laughin yerself psilly all over again?

When my DD was diagnosed hypoglycemic, I started to realize I may have it too. I get all those symptoms. Now, I've had the tingling around the lips, too, but always thought it must be a food allergy, but never figured it out. I've been sugar free...including grains...for some time now, and have not had the tingling in a long time. Hmmmm.......

Is this like the women who live together all have their periods at the same time thing? People who post together all end up with hypoglycemia?

Quack :rolleyes:

I gotta bond somehow, as the aforementioned no longer visits :P

Went to a gluten free pitch-in today :) The one that Jyan-knit couldn't attend this year :(

I need to thank her for keeping Skeeter away, cuz I got to win a food basket this time! :D

It's beginning to look like it :o

After Mark left, I was doing a lot of things like grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner, leftover rice cooked in milk for breakfast--easy stuff since it was just me. In other words, I was falling back into eating more of the "white carbs" just because of the convenience.

Today, I had no grain at all...or sugar.... made a real dinner. Feel nice and calm :rolleyes: I'm glad we talked about this!

Yep :) Probably not solved, but more like "so far, so good". I've been living in fear for the past few weeks, thinking I was going to have a heart attack or something--and wouldn't have anyone to call. I wonder if this stuff is messing with my brain.....

Should be quite the conversation with our respective bosses on Monday.

So, Emily, how was your weekend? What did you do?

Me: Well..... . .. there's this forum, see.... . . .and .. ... .Ah, hell, you'd better sit down, get comfortable..................

There are these people, in this make-believe town, with names like Ptaughaughaughmmmmm........

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

It's the only parameter that the affected individual or their family members have control over. We need to learn to become "politely pushy" in order to get proper testing done when...

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease...

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!
