I suppose the 's' gets added because often we refer to ourselves as "Celiacs" meaning people who have Celiac Disease :)

Kalanfan, how did the paper turn out? I have a paper to write for my bio class, and I've been working on it, but was curious to know what sources you used, other than the people here :)

Well im a nursing student and we have to do a research paper on a topic of our choice. Since ive been doing the gluten free thing for a couple of months now i decided to do mine on celiacs. For my primary research i need some questions answered by people with condition so i devised a survey...it would help me greatly if you guys could fill it out.....

What age were you diagnosed with celiac's/gluten intolerance?

33

What were your most common symptoms?

anemia

What are your symptoms when you eat gluten now?

headache, stomach pain, bloating

Do you consider yourself more sensitive to gluten now that you try to avoid it?

yes

Did you or your doctor come up with the celiacs/gluten intolerance diagnosis?

my doctor, via biopsy

Do you have any other food allergies/intolerances?

yes

If yes what?

allergic to brazil nuts

Does anyone else in your family have celiacs/gluten intolerance?

brother has dermatitis herpetiformis

Do you consider the world celiac/gluten free friendly?

no

Explain.

Other than the obvious "whole" foods, it's difficult to find foods that are "safe".

Do you think we need better food labelling laws?

yes

Explain.

To make it clearer what foods are really gluten-free.

Does the world in your opinion need to be more educated about celiacs and gluten?

yes, simply because we are not diagnosed effectively.

thanx in advance for your time...

Mr Dr did after I was dx with Hashis Thyroid , she did the testing.

Not that I am aware.

Its not too bad but you still feel a freak when eating out and asking for special menus.

Pretty good here in Aust.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
