I'm not sure what I want yet....I'll think about it. I'm going to have to have pizza while I'm home along with popcorn, and some other things that I forgot about at this moment. You should also be sure to have plenty of eggs, sugar, vanilla, and brownie mix. I'm going to do a lot of baking :D I'll also take a lot of it with me too :rolleyes:

OMG, that's where I"m goign tonight too! :lol::P:lol::P:lol:

:lol: Yes, just look at them, taking over our 40-something place to tread on people :lol::lol::lol:

yes but it's just like old times :)

You going to a Suzanne's or just Wright?

Okay, I can't eat popcorn because of my braces, pizza because of the casein, and anything baked because of the sugar (my adrenals) ... so you are clearly thinking only of yourself with this food, correct?

BTW, you look about 25 in that picture! Who is the other person?

Patti - do you know if he's gone for good? I tried to PM him and he either has it disabled or his inbox is full. I'm so out of it (I don't like drama, politics or game-playing, so I tend to stay out of threads that deal with that stuff) that I don't even know what happened. Why did he leave? He's such an important part of our board.

Liz and everybody--you can always use email to reach him, if the mailbox is full :)

Well it's hard to consider your diet since you've changed it recentlly....I had forgotten about your sugar thing. Oooooh!!! An omlet and some good meat would be awesome too!!!!! :P

Yeah I'm back...but only for as long as I have the time...it's hard to keep up with this. :(

Why do I look 20? Is that a good thing? Bad isn't it? That's my friend Andrea :)

No, I said 25 ... not bad I guess, except that I'm your mom and you look old -- way too old to be my kid :lol:

Oh Carla, you look so cute!!! And you do look a lot younger.

OMG, I just had a major flashback, remembering those days with braces, afraid to kiss a boy with braces because you might get locked or wired together :lol::lol::lol: and head gears, and gum getting stuck.......

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.

      fortunately you don't need to understand anything that doesn't directly affect you.  🤗 you earlier assumed I was deficient in nutrients and minerals due to celiac malabsorption but...... now it doesn't matter? because why? it might mess up your deficiency argument?  if you don't know the difference between having actual celiac disease and NCGS....!!!! correct me if I'm wrong but actual celiac disease causes actual physical damage to your body and increases your risk of certain cancers... just as a start. I have an identical twin sister- IF I have celiac disease, chances are she may too. I have a daughter and other first degree relatives... you also get ADA protections with an actual celiac diagnosis.  but again, not your decision to make  nor to understand. but to suggest that there is no valid reason to find out for sure is incomprehensible on a board dedicated to celiac disease. if you ask me but you didn't so- nevermind.   don't worry though, another member has declared that in her expert opinion based on who knows what- that I don't have celiac!!!  but instead I am "full of beans" and probably killing myself for eating such scary things, I don't know.   if you think you can diagnose me off one single biomarker and a hunch of some sort...based on your history and some research study that you think is relevant- um, well, Glad to meet you, Dr McCoy aka Bones. 🫠 I did not know this was a place where strangers want to play doctor  I am hoping to hear from other members who are not so quick to make judgements and... stuff, let's just leave it at that... perhaps there aren't any.  time will tell I guess
