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.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
