So glad you've made it through the first year. It gets so much easier after that first anniversary. :) So... Now you've made my day and I'm going to walk around with a goofy smile all day. Thanks.

Oh, and have a wonderful (gluten free) holiday!

Thank you for being a part of the board too! While I personally just love to see that little kitty in your avatar the most, I also love the help and advice you give to everyone. And that includes the questions you ask, because I sure know that I learn from answering questions as well as asking them. :)

Hi Tiff :D

Thank you for the lovely sentiment, and a big congratulations on getting through the first year!

I have learned a lot from you, too. Your knowledge of all things pharmacy has been so helpful.

I hope that you are having a nice holiday season--I was just thinking about you and your husband. I pray that he is well, and that possibly (?) he is able to be home for Christmas.

Take care, and don't be a stranger--I've missed you :D

I could have pretty much said the same thing, because I've learned so much this past year. We all learn from each other, it would have been so overwhelming without all you guys, and I would never have figured out all my food intolerances, and the adrenal and thyroid problems without this board.

I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Well thank YOU Tiffany. It's nice to be included in that group of very helpful people. I was just thinking last week that I hadn't seen any posts from you lately.

I'm glad you've passed your anniversary. It's a good feeling. I remember when we passed Ty's one year. It seems like so long ago.

I hope you have a happy holiday and I hope your husband can come home soon (if he hasn't already).

I second that; congratulations! We alll understand what a major deal this is - I've just passed my first year as well. You beat me to the punch by starting this thread...I was thinking of it but wasn't sure what to say! :P

We do learn from each other, and I am so grateful for you all and for this site. Practically everything I know about this condition and what to expect / be mindful of has come from all of you who have taken the time to share your experiences here. I would've gone crazy with all of the upheavals my body's been going through - especially with all these ' new' food allergies and intolerances - if you hadn't clued me in! Thank you all for being so warm and generous, especially at times where you weren't exactly feeling at your best yourselves. Have a wonderful Chrismas, everyone!

Naj.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
