Great Avatar. Is that you basking in the afterglow of 3 gluteny donuts? You look great! :)

Tell the truth - you've got the hots for the doc, right? (too much Grey's Anatomy?) :P

how did I miss this, goofball....yes, there I am in all my donut-y, giddy glory. The tummy-ache had not hit yet (remember I also ate bean stew and homemade nut bars in same day. ugh).

The hots for my GI....I LOVE LOVE LOVE my GI - - - but he's not really a hottie. and that is a good thing, because I would be finding reasons to go all the time. :lol:;)

when celiacs eat even a small amount of gluten it can cause intestinal damage very quickly--so if it took you a year to get better, it might take only a month to reverse or wipe out that one year of healing. Again, your cancer risk and risk of many other complications also goes up when you eat gluten, so I highly recommend that you avoid it. You might find this interesting:

:o:o:o I only cheated once....NOT going to undo nine months of heinous, arduous gluten-avoidance! Besides, my stomach did hurt a bit - the same, tender ache it used to have, for years...so I know my poor villi were assaulted and unhappy. :(

Hang in there Susan, you're not alone here!

:) thanks donna.....

Yep Susan--remember, you always have us :)

:) and thanks to you, too Patti...you know I"ll always come whining when something's wrong...... :huh:

I was originally diagnosed in Feb 05. Then, in July 05 the doctors had me go back on a gluten diet for 6 months and then recheck my bloodwork and conduct a biopsy. During that time I had no issues and I was eating so much gluten it was unreal. When I got the results of my bloodwork in December and the test stated my levels were at 260, I was totally shocked. I thought the February diagnosis had been a mistake. I just didn't understand how my antibody levels could be so high and I wasn't having any adverse reactions. It's an odd disease. I'm happy they did the biopsy to prove to me that my body was being adversely effected and that convinced me to stay gluten free.

Susan - The moment you mentioned your poison oak "what will happen" experiment I instantly thought of this. And as luck would have it YouTube Obliged!

Open Original Shared Link :P

COOL VIDEO!!!!!! Donuts and gluten-containing food are not tempting to me. I just get a "who cares" attitude at times and decide to cheat for the TEXTURE of it. It's not the food, it's the TEXTURE. I don't plan to do this ongoing. It's just something that I have done in my first year of adjustment and I thought I was the perfect one to reply, because I knew before I even opened the thread that she'd had donuts.

I did blame the gluten and I am calm... sorry.

I'm sorry my initial comment brought on such negativity.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
