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.......

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Sorry to hear you're going through such a hard time. It would be worth looking into MCAS/histamine issues and also Long Covid. Perhaps there is something occurring in addition to celiac disease. It would be worth ruling out micronutrient deficiencies such as the b vitamins (B12, folate, B1, etc), vit D, and ferritin (iron stores).

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      This sounds very similar to the neuropathic pain I experienced with type two diabetes. Gloves and boots pattern of neuropathy is common with deficiencies in Cobalamine B12 (especially the pain in the big toe), Niacin B3, and Pyridoxine B6. These are vitamins frequently found to be low in people with pre-diabetes and diabetes. Remember that blood tests...

      Help!!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Amiah! First of all, you would do well to post your question in one of the appropriate community forums rather than in a blog. It will get more attention that way. Now as to your question, there are some other things that can cause elevated igg antibodies besides celiac disease. Various infections, mostly. For...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this—chronic neuropathic or nociplastic pain can be incredibly frustrating, especially when testing shows no nerve damage. It’s important to clarify for readers that this type of central sensitization pain is not the same thing as ongoing gluten exposure, particularly when labs, biopsy, and nutritional status are normal....

      This sounds very similar to the neuropathic pain I experienced with type two diabetes.  Gloves and boots pattern of neuropathy is common with deficiencies in Cobalamine B12 (especially the pain in the big toe), Niacin B3, and Pyridoxine B6.  These are vitamins frequently found to be low in people with pre-diabetes and diabetes.  Remember that blood tests for vitamin levels is terribly inaccurate.  You can have vitamin deficiencies before there are any changes in blood levels.  You can have "normal" serum levels, but be deficient inside organs and tissues where the vitamins are actually utilized.  The blood is a transportation system, moving vitamins absorbed in the intestines to organs and tissues.  Just because there's trucks on the highway doesn't mean that the warehouses are full.  The body will drain organs and tissues of their stored vitamins and send them via the bloodstream to important organs like the brain and heart.  Meanwhile, the organs and tissues are depleted and function less well.   Eating a diet high in simple carbohydrates can spike blood sugar after meals.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates consistently over time can cause worsening of symptoms.  Thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B3 and Pyridoxine B6, (which I noticed you are not supplementing), are needed to turn carbs, proteins and fats into energy for the body to use.  Alcohol consumption can lower blood sugar levels, and hence, alleviate the neuropathic pain.  Alcohol destroys many B vitamins, especially Pyridoxine, Thiamine and Niacin.  With alcohol consumption, blood glucose is turned into fat, stored in the liver or abdomen, then burned for fuel, thus lowering blood glucose levels.  With the cessation of alcohol and continued high carb diet, the blood glucose levels rise again over time, resulting in worsening neuropathy.   Heavy exercise can also further delete B vitamins.  Thiamine and Niacin work in balance with each other.  Sort of like a teeter-totter, thiamine is used to produce energy and Niacin is then used to reset the cycle for thiamine one used again to produce energy.  If there's no Niacin, then the energy production cycle can't reset.  Niacin is important in regulating electrolytes for nerve impulse conduction.  Electrolyte imbalance can cause neuropathic pain.   Talk to your doctors about testing for Type Two diabetes or pre-diabetes beyond an A1C test since alcohol consumption can lower A1C giving inaccurate results. Talk to your doctors about supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, and correcting deficiencies in Pyridoxine, Niacin, and B12.  Hope this helps! Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ P. S.  Get checked for Vitamin C deficiency, aka Scurvy.  People with Diabetes and those who consume alcohol are often low in Vitamin C which can contribute to peripheral neuropathy.

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this—chronic neuropathic or nociplastic pain can be incredibly frustrating, especially when testing shows no nerve damage. It’s important to clarify for readers that this type of central sensitization pain is not the same thing as ongoing gluten exposure, particularly when labs, biopsy, and nutritional status are normal. A stocking/glove pattern with normal nerve density points toward a pain-processing disorder rather than active celiac-related injury. Alcohol temporarily dampening symptoms likely reflects its central nervous system depressant effects, not treatment of an underlying gluten issue—and high-dose alcohol is dangerous and not a safe or sustainable strategy. Seeing a pain specialist is absolutely the right next step, and we encourage members to work closely with neurology and pain management rather than assuming hidden gluten exposure when objective testing does not support it.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is no credible scientific evidence that standard water filters contain gluten or pose a gluten exposure risk. Gluten is a food protein from wheat, barley, or rye—it is not used in activated carbon filtration in any meaningful way, and refrigerator or pitcher filters are not designed with food-based binders that would leach gluten into water. AI-generated search summaries are not authoritative sources, and they often speculate without documentation. Major manufacturers design filters for water purification, not food processing, and gluten contamination from a water filter would be extraordinarily unlikely. For people with celiac disease, properly functioning municipal, bottled, filtered, or distilled water is considered gluten-free.
