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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
