After 5 Days With No Power...

We had a terrible windstorm last Thursday that knocked power out to most of our area - I heard that over a million households were in the dark on Thursday night. We got ours back on right before dinner time tonight. We didn't suffer too much though - we have a generator that allowed us to keep the furnace going off and on, keep the lights on, a little TV and even bake cookies for the power crew last night. (3 ingredient peanut butter cookies with red and green M & M's). I did get on for about 5 minutes at my sister in law's house on Friday, but feel way behind reading posts. I perused a little bit and see requests for all kinds of recipes that I make all the time - I hope I have time tomorrow to get on again, in between making a gingerbread house and all the other holiday preparations.

Welcome back. I've noticed that most people still without power are running out of a sense of humor about it. Glad your family survived the extended camping trip.

Glad to hear you have power back! We were only out for a little under 24 hours (I know, lucky us - we seem to be in some special spot just south of Bellevue that was luckier than half of Bellevue). We had a holiday party on Saturday, so I'm glad it did come back on, because everyone thought we were cancelling!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
