I have no idea where in NYC celiac3270 lives, but I e-mailed him after that plane accident just to make sure he is okay. I have e-mailed again, neither time getting a response. He usually doesn't go this long without checking his e-mail.

I really hope he is okay....... That boy has a special place in my heart. He's the first person to reach out to me when I stumbled upon this site......

I was wondering about him too!

Hopefully it's just something simple like their internet is down...

Karen, perhaps someone here has his phone # that they can PM to you?

I do, also, hope all is well :)

I know what you mean about celiac3270. He is so very special. Please let us know if you hear from him. Maybe his computer is down or he is working hard and has not checked his email.

The logs say his last activity was Yesterday, 09:52 PM... Hope this puts you at ease a little.

If I remember correctly I think I remember him mentioning once that he lives downtown, which is no where near where the plane hit. A lot of my friends live on the UES, and I don't think any other buildings besides the one the plane crashed into, were affected.

I'm sure he's fine, but please update us when you hear from him.

Whoa, sorry guys.

I'm fine, but I'm touched that you were concerned. I got a PM from kevsmom about an hour ago, or I wouldn't have checked this topic. Karen, I haven't been using that e-mail address regularly for a few months now (celiac3270king@gmail.com is a better one). I had been checking both, but as school becomes increasingly time consuming, I haven't been as diligent. That also explains my relative absence from the board; I try to read, but I haven't had the time to post.

Thank you for asking, though... it means a lot to me ;)

celiac3270, I'm so glad all is well with you!

I've sure missed you!

Nice to see ANY post from you, celiac3270. You were a major player when I first went on this board and it was better in those days, more pure and informational and not so much confrontation. I had been wondering just where you were and whether you even were a part of this forum anymore. It is good to know that you take a peek from time to time. We don't see as much of Katie either, she is probably busy with her life too and that is a good thing for both of you. I think once we get used to the fact the we have to eat gluten-free, we just accept it as part of the routine and don't dwell on it all the time or let it take up so much of our time. That is the way it should be. I come here occasionally to see what is up, take what I can from it, but don't really get too involved or excited over things anymore. Barbara

I am so glad to see that celiac3270 posted :D . I PM'd him asking him to do so. This is a copy of his reply to me:

Hi Cindy,

You can tell anyone else who was wondering that I've just taken a break. I'm doing fine-- great, actually... but I have a ton of work for school and I haven't really had a chance to post for the past few weeks. I still read the forum when I can, but the posting has been minimal. Don't be worried, but thanks for asking! Great to know that I've been missed.

Lots of love to you,

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
