Richard: Tell me about your picture, it's way too funny! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I had some Enchilada Soup (gluten-free) earlier in the week. It was very good, but it raised hell further down the turnpike. The picture is pretty much how I felt :huh:

OUCH THAT HURTS!

Richard- I am always telling my husband about the hilariously demented pictures you post. He wants to know if we're having a cyber-affair :blink::P

I told him no, that we are trying to figure out if we're related!

the other night I got the hairy eyeball myself :blink: I was PMing and my wife wanted to use the computer, she asked what I was doing. I told her I was emailing a gluten-free friend. Her response "you have gluten-free friends?!"

:ph34r:

"what's her name?" :blink:

I had to do some esplainin'...turns out she was busting my chops <_<

Now I feel dirty :P

Heck, I'm displaying such self control not opening your 'Lost thread' (much as I want to)

I'm in the UK and the 2nd series has just ended- and I'm still none the wiser :blink:

Me thinks the producers are going to string me along in series 3 too (patience,patience :rolleyes: )

BTW - How do you like my first attempt at a G.F birthday cake for my son (who was dx last week) in my Avatar?

Hey, that buttercream hides a multitude of sins (not to mention pretty paper round the edges) :lol::lol::lol:

...my son liked it though, and it tastes much better than it looks!! :lol:

No he does not own a gun. He was busting my chops. He actually tried to convince me that HE was secretly YOU. Didn't work. :P

Nikki- Cake gorgeous! Send piece stat!

susie- yes, Richard and I think we might be realted as I was adopted and we both have the same sick sense of humor. I've always wondered if I had any other siblings. Actually, wouldn't that be freaky? :ph34r::blink::lol::lol::lol:

oh my gaaawd - - - that Peabody and Sherman.....what show was that? my little bro and I watched it all the time......that was surrreal, seeing that again.....takes me back to a time of lots of rough-housing and crazy physical violence with my brothers (I pulled my little bro's arm out of the socket - TWICE - and he was a tiny, fragile thing with a congenital heart defect - - - - :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r: ) but we also had lots of fun together and did enjoy our silly cartoons together........he hates me now :lol::lol: (just kidding)

oh, BTW the violence stopped when he was about 16 and punched me in the jaw, I saw stars and briefly blacked out :lol::lol::lol:

Richard--wishful, sinful, wicked you. Imagine you having friends and gluten-free ones that are also women, how could you. Such a disgrace, your wife must have thought you were the only gluten-free person in the universe. We know that you are just using Celiac to flirt with all of us. We all know how stimulating a discussion on poop can be. She will think we are all talking in code when we use words like dh and gas.

It was a "filler" show on Rocky & Bullwinkle between the main cartoons.

My sister and I brawled also. One time she got her braces hooked on a the couch and couldn't get loose! :P I seem to remember getting in a heap of trouble for that :ph34r:

You're right. She just doesn't like anything about poop, and likes talking about it even less. I guess this place fills that (GIANT) void in my life :P

Rusla - yes, Richard's a faker - clearly he's too cheery to be a REAL Celiac.....he jsut wants to play with us ;)

We didn't discuss the need to talk openly about our bowel movements during the pre-marriage counseling sessions. Imagine that!

I'm actually Bev's husband (nobody tell her)

As for not being a Celiac...do I need to change my Avatar back to flaming *ssman?

We know his type, we are just passions gluten-free playthings to him..

Let's face it poop may be a crappy subject but if you can't discuss it with the one you are married to then what is left in life.

Whatever was wrong with that counsellor for not bringing it up? How did they ever get their certificate? That is number one in counselling because money problems never out rank bowel movements. Blasphemy I tell you.

      Sorry, I just realized how old this thread is and only read the initial post from 2021. I'll have to catch up on the comments in this thread. 
    • Jane02
      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). 
    • knitty kitty
      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.
    • Scott Adams
      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.
