Alrighty then. I suspect (hope) I have shut down the glutenease thread by posting long scientific drivel and citing papers. Let's see if it works.

We wish!!!!

And *I* wish I understood more of it.

I wonder how many ppl got too confused early and skipped past your translation & comments.

I particularly liked the part about - I think I got this right - partially digested fractions still being immuno-something? Gah .. ..where's me brain .. . .. .it meant still harmful for a celiac didn't it?

I wondered whether it was applicable in the dispute over whether "fewer symptoms = less damage", which I find pollyannish.

***oops .. ..that's not SILLY!!!***

. .. coax the bugger back in :blink::lol::lol:

Now THAT's silly! :lol: :lol:

The phrase "coax the bugger back in" has humoUr even OUT of context. <chuckle chuckle>

I mean, why sugar? How does that unstick it? What if you were to use a little sand or sumphin :unsure: ...of course, salt might be irritating.....does it have to be granular?

So many questions :huh:

Don't think for a SECOND there'll be any human experimentation!!!! :ph34r:

:notaguineapigface:

wonder if it works on humans............... :blink: hummmmmmmmm...........

I said NOT FOR A SECOND!!!!!!

It sounds like one of your 'tall tales' doesn't it M??? :lol: ........but I promise you it's true :lol: <wiping tears of laughter from me face>

:lol:

(Laughter's even contagious through this 'series of tubes' some call The Interweb) ;)

:lol:

omg i KNEW THERE WAS REASON I keep coming back to this thread............all this info that we need to know b/c we never know when we might need it.

Yes! Happens to me regularly.... .little priceless nuggets of information that I can ferret away....... :lol:

Wish I knew why sugar too :unsure:

EDIT: :lol: Think salt on a slug

Oh! Yes, if we think of this, then salt would work quite well with a stuck penis....... Y'know....slugs and bloodsuckers retract when salted.......I should think that salt would work even better than sugar!

Hmmmmm..........circumcision.......... .. . no need for any o' this postulating in that instance....... .. . .

:lol: :lol: can you? 'twould be perfect.........

Of course you can't disagree! Didn't you know that reading product endorsements and 250 word abstracts on the internet means you have a PhD in . . . um . . . everything! I feel like I'm asking for a warning . . . *scurries off *

Oh, lovely! Sophie's just made a big bowl of microwave popcorn to munch on in front of the TV. It has questionable "natural flavouring" listed on the package. Ah, hell! Jus' hand me a Glutenease!

I'm pretty sure we're all in need of a round of GlutenEase just to deal with all the hay and other agricultural detritus still stuck to its fur (and 'excrement') that has been flung around that post.

:lol: shoot, every time you guys bring it up, I HAVE to run over to the thread and see......

OMG!! Sugary stuck penis

...that kind of reminds me of summat that used to happen to a dog I had

If he got over excited, his (ahem) member would come out and get stuck :o

...the vet recommended sprinkling sugar on it....and oddly enough that used to coax the bugger back in

Nik said summat :lol:

and........

OMG....Nickerler..... .. Here we come up with, in the most unbelievably convoluted way, sugary + stuck + penis..... . .. .and then YOU reveal this hilariously fitting tale of a childhood pet dog....

Now, THIS has gotta be more unbelievable than my stumbling upon "I am Fifi's Anal Glands"!

:o I KNOW! OMG - what does it mean...........what can it mean?????????????????? what are the odds.....this is just another type of the very specific, wackl pre-ordained kismet-like magic that binds the psillies together.

<seriously - who has EVER heard of a dog w/ a stuck pOenis that requires sugar?????? > :blink:

But gawd............. . . . . I just cannot stop thinking of a sugary, stuck penis... ...... . ...

Help me!

Circumcise..................(had to look that one up!)

Make two fists with thumbs up........you know...when everything's good to go, you give a *thumbs up*............like that. Turn hands so thumbs are pointing at each other. If you are right handed, circle right thumb forward around left thumb, and visa versa for left handers.

:P

Edit: There is an alternate way to sign it, circling around your index finger instead of your thumb...........I guess you can choose the size!! :P:P

I know wif bloodsuckers that ya can't pull off yer skin, sprinkling salt on it will make it all shrivel up, retract and fall off. Wonder if it'd work the same way with the other thing.......

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary depending on where the samples are taken and how many are collected. It’s also true that celiac disease exists on a spectrum, and many people have serious symptoms and immune responses without yet showing classic biopsy damage. Managing diabetes alongside suspected or confirmed celiac disease is incredibly tricky, especially when healthcare providers don’t work as a team to support your whole health. You shouldn’t be forced to choose between controlling your blood sugar or protecting your gut and immune system. A well-planned gluten-free diet can be both nourishing and diabetes-friendly, especially with guidance from a knowledgeable dietitian who understands both conditions. It’s also deeply concerning that your symptoms—neurological issues, severe fatigue, GI distress, rashes, and more—are being dismissed. You’re not just describing discomfort; you’re describing a level of illness that’s life-altering, and your instincts that something is seriously wrong are absolutely worth trusting. You know your body better than anyone. You deserve a team that listens, believes you, and helps you build a realistic, sustainable path to healing. Whether it’s celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or something else, you have every right to go gluten-free permanently if that’s what makes you feel functional. Many people never get a “perfect” diagnosis but reclaim their health by honoring their own experience and choosing a path of least harm. You are not crazy, you are not weak, and you are not alone. Keep advocating for yourself—you and your daughter both deserve a healthier, more stable life.

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.

      I have posted a lot on here and find that the support , advice and information here is much more helpful than anything else.. ever. I am really tired of the back and forth advice in the medical community and I am beyond frustrated and over all of it currently. I will try to keep this as brief as possible. I have positive TTG IGA antibodies - and I have had these every time I have been tested. The first time they were positive I was told I did not have celiac and couldn't have celiac but I was gluten intolerant and to go gluten free. I did this for about 3-4 months, dedicated I might add, and I did feel better. However, my blood glucose went up drastically and since I was already pre-diabetic and insulin resistant already, I was then told to stop the gluten free diet and resume eating gluten as it would be better for my diabetes.I have been on a yo yo diet and roller coaster since between the gluten free and not gluten free. I decided to see a gastro doc and after him promising me I had celiac based on all my symptoms and positive antibodies but we needed that actual diagnosis in order to be treated correctly, and we just needed the EGD with biopsies to have that diagnosis, I reluctantly agreed to go fully on the gluten challenge for 8 weeks prior to having an EGD and colonoscopy, both with biopsies . The gluten challenge was miserable. At first I was horribly constipated, I gained 9 pounds during the challenge, had horrible swelling issues, terrible bloating, looked and felt pregnant, had rashes and itching, couldn't stay awake, had extreme brain fog, exhaustion, speech difficulties, palpitations, tachycardia , menstrual issues, had an insatiable hunger, mood swings, just all the things. All of this to get the tests and biopsies done and they looked "okay" .. so even though I was told to live like a celiac all of the sudden I am no longer at risk.. I am just gluten intolerant.  I also have uncontrolled diabetes that they feel is made worse by the gluten free diet, so again after all these tests, but having all the symptoms and still having positive antibodies I feel like I am stuck with the choice in regards to my health of addressing the diabetes or the celiac (still don't believe I am not actually Celiac).  So I have been having gluten off and on to try and manage my diabetes, even though most recently, because I have been so physically sick again (that can't be good for diabetes either right??)  with stomach pain, burning, diarrhea, stools that are yellow in color and contain mucus, nausea, some vomiting, sour stomach, I was told I need to just eat gluten free so my stomach will improve, and we will just put you on insulin - I don't want to go on insulin yet, and especially if I do not actually have to. I don't understand why I am backed in this corner of feeling like I have to choose to eat for my diabetes or my stomach, but not both, but I am over it.   So currently in regards to GI symptoms - I consistently have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas , bloating, reflux, sour stomach, yellow stools with mucus.  I am also exhausted and have been itching. I have been having increased swelling, pain, and horrible numbness and tingling, especially in my hands. I am also having an increase in relentless nightmares and night terrors. I have also been having chest pain and palpitations and tachycardia. I have even tried taking digestive enzymes to help break down gluten - (specifically the Gliadin X) and they just seem to make me feel worse. I have trouble with digestion of things like salads, beans, broccoli, etc. on a good day, and that is even worse when I have gluten on any kind of semi-regular basis.   I just can't keep doing this. Mentally, physically and emotionally I am just DONE. I already have a lot of stress in my life.. I am a single mom to a daughter who has her own health issues and is somewhat special needs. I need to be 100% to be what she needs from me, especially with all the running back and forth we have been doing to the doctors and hospitals. So I am no doctor... but I just don't think they are right about any of this. I truly feel I am celiac.. and either the damage just wasn't bad yet, or they just missed the area that has damage, or its all a precursor to full blown celiac (kind of like pre-diabetes/insulin resistance is for actual diabetes). I don't want to live miserable and feel bad all the time. I also don't want my diabetes to be so out of control I have major complications, and I don't feel like insulin is a great option if not truly needed. At this point, if I ever feel like I have a somewhat clear path of what I am dealing with,  I feel like I am looking at MONTHS to YEARS of trying to heal my body. Please help!

      No, I have not been checked for any other deficiencies or issues. No one will check these things since my EGD looked normal and there was no damage. I recently saw my gastro doc and it is just frustrating. I have diabetes, which is basically uncontrolled, and I keep being told, stop eating gluten free, because the gluten free diet is contributing to my diabetes worsening. Then I am told oh just eat gluten free and you can go on insulin, which I don't feel like is a good answer either. So I end up eating gluten because they tell me it's okay or that I should bc of my diabetes. I am so sick today - physically mentally emotionally - just tired of this roller coaster ride.  I am open  for any realistic advice... I feel like I get more support here than in real life
