At this holiday time, I'd like everyone to stop for just a moment with me,

And say a big

THANK YOU

For never having to politely choke down another piece of fruitcake again!

I also don't miss fruitcake - I used to get one every year from my boss. I finally escaped from it. :D

No! I love fruit cake too. In fact, I haven't ever had fruitcake I didn't like. I miss it! (But my thighs don't...)

I like fruitcake (a high quality one!). I also really like your picture :)

I was glad however, to be able to turn down all those horrendously fattening and sugar loaded sweets that I really wouldn't have enjoyed even if I could have eaten them!!! Huzzah!

I'm on another message board with a lot of "foodies" where the discussion was what your most hated food was. Over half said brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts are one of my favorites. It just goes to show you that for every food that someone hates, another person is going back for seconds.

I've heard that the thing with fruitcake is that when it's done right it's wonderful, but when it's done wrong it's just so very, very wrong. Just like brussels sprouts... ;)

:D

Mmmmmm.... Brussel sprouts.... Making my mouth water. Fruit cake on the other hand is something I can definitely live without.

Yea--I like brussel sprouts, but I just don't like the taste of candied fruit--so I've never even tried fruitcake. :ph34r:

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
