I am so totally addicted to the topic of gluten. Is this good or bad? I eat it, sleep on it, drink it, think it and even dream about it. You know as in dreaming about a spread of food and avoiding what I can't eat. (I wish I could dream about eating all the forbidden food)

If I have to make a new years resolution, the top one would be to chill out and relax and minimise my time on the computer researching coeliac and other related subjects. I tell you my computer never gets out of c drive (coeliac drive). First thing I visit is my emails, and then I am off on my drive for everything coeliac, and before I know, and hour has gone and the housework is still waiting for me! or else I am late for work, yet again. That is the bit I hate the most.

It's all of yours fault, ;) someone led me to here, and whammo, and I just can't seem to leave this site for one day.

Is there a forum out there that might help me? :rolleyes: I hope not.

Is there anybody else out there with this problem, maybe we could support each other. :lol:

Cathy

This is probably a too hard a question to answer, but that is okay. Maybe there is not a hope for me and I will just have to continue as I have been, and enjoy every moment of it.

Well, I do the very same thing. Of course, I ought to be here, since I'm a moderator, right? :ph34r:;).

It is normal for you to still be researching, as celiac disease requires a lot of knowledge to stay safe. Plus people are so great here, I would miss them if I don't 'check in' frequently!

As for being late for work, maybe you want to get up earlier so you have enough time to come here before work. And set a timer to remind you to get going, and make it a habit of leaving the computer when the timer goes off. Because I know that otherwise you can lose track of time (at least I do that).

What a nit wit I am, somehow I duplicated this post. When will I ever learn?

I will just slink back in embarassment.

Oh, silly, it can happen to anybody! No need to call yourself names, Scott will delete the other post soon, and most people will never know (oh, right, since you told on yourself, I guess they will after all :blink: ).

i think at some point, many of us have felt like you have. there is so much to learn, to REALLY learn, and you feel like you have to know it all. i think it kind of goes in cycles.....

hey, we are just happy to have you here :) let us know if we need to chide you ;)

it's kind of hard not to think about it all the time when you have to watch EVERYTHING that goes near your mouth. i don't have celiac---but it is on my mind all the time because of my girls.

maybe we need to spend more time on the thread that is just for talking about "other" stuff.

My solution to this very same problem is that I'm going to work on seeing if I can start a local support group so that I'm at least getting some celiac-related face to face interaction with people (although I love the people I've met on the board!). I also have a friend who does auto-immune-related research -- actually, he does the fundraising stuff and his partner does the lab stuff -- I've decided I'm going to ask if he needs anyone to volunteer with grant-writing and fundraising.

Okay I am out of the closet. I too got hooked on the topic. Mostly I feel the need to help others as you folks have helped me get my life back. Before the forum I was so sick, and now I am in awe that I am healthy again.

eleep, that is exactly what I am in the process of doing, joining up with a local person and trying to form a support group in my home town, she has lived with the disease for about 30 years, and me just a mere 11 months.

It will be a challenge and I am looking forward to it, putting faces to names.

I think I will be here on the net a bit more, because in four more working days, I am on holiday for 7 weeks, and it is summer. Way to go. Watch out beaches, here I come.

And next year, I hope to reclaim at work the 2 hours a day I let go at the beginning of the year so that I could concentrate on my diet and cooking and just getting around coelaic. It worked, and I am ready to take life head on again. It is the worst two hours of the day I am trying to get back, but it is money in the bank, and life shouldn't be too easy all the time.

But like you, I love the people on this forum, it just takes a bit longer to get to know everyone.

Cheers.

Cathy

Hi Cathy

i can totally relate! especially the first few months i honestly bought like 6 books about celiac, subscried to two gluten-free magazines and was constantly on the internet. i also had nightmares about eating gluten. i feel less into it now and have really just narrowed my time down to this website whichi still feel like to go on everyday!!

Gluten is my hobby. :) I love reading new research about the disease. For me I was totally absorbed for a few months, now I just cruise a few of my favorite boards and try not to spend too much time.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
