Now see??? This is what I was talking about.....I had to do such duty on occasion at the high school. The kids were supposed to clean up after themselves, but you know how that goes.....it was BC (before Celiac) so no gloves fer me. Yuk :P:P

All right, I must share with you the exchange I had with my dad this afternoon. I called him, as I was feeling just yucky about Sarah, and I briefly told him how sad we all were feeling, and that I needed to hear something uplifting to pass along. He immediately said, "Well.....you need to recite to everyone the poignant words of Confucious:

Once I wept, for I had no shoes,

Until I met a man who had no feet.

So I asked him, "Got any shoes you're not using?"

I'm back!!!!!!!

Yes- my fellow silly mates may use the signature as well. I dont mind at all. I spent time with Jen, we have really come close in the last year and to that I am glad.

My foot keeps acting up and I will be getting some X-rays....thats all I need is a big plaster cast on my leg....at least its the left leg though....but still!

I got to tell you all, so Jen and I were discuss feelings and such and she says her and Becky had a heart to heart about stuff. Jen said this has been a weird day and people have been sharing feelings....and I told her about the conversations we have been having here and how todays events transpired. Lets face it I discuss my sillies outside the thread. :) Now thats love!

Lucky actually has been drinking a lot. So the vet said not too worry the meds are making him fatigued. We really like the new Vet which gives me piece of mind. Our last vet was a know it all....and you all know how I hate KNOW-IT-ALL's. We constantly were Phizzled with the old vet. To tell me my cat has cancer and the only way to tell is to cut him open and "explore".....that was 2 yrs ago. mu kitty had been sick over recalled pet food. He bounced back. Now this!

Amanda - good to hear about Landen and Lucky.

Well, I'm off to bed. I've been staying up too late watching the Olympics coverage and it's catching up with me. . . but first a silly from me daughter:

. . . can't even remember the topic of conversation but she said "Easier said than done." She paused and then added "unless you can't talk, then it's easier done than said."

Sarah - still thinking about you, wishing you peace and strength and a decent night's sleep. :wub:

So hopefully you can all hold down the phort till tomorrow.

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      Regarding the discrimination you asked about, it is a lot more easy now to discriminate when you're supposed to answer whether or not you have celiac disease on job applications, and from what I've seen, MANY companies now include this question on their applications:

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      It's too bad relationships end because of this disease, but I suppose that being healthy may be more important than being married or living with someone who isn't on board with the gluten-free diet.

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      This is a huge topic. My ex husband didn't care. Even though I had my own area where his food wasn't allowed, I'd find crumbs. I was always constantly cleaning. I threw a lot of food away because I wouldn't be sure if he had contaminated it. It really showed what a narcissistic person he was and is. Now I'm in my own home. Much better. I do have dogs...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation.

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly. I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge...

Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
