I'm not sure if this is the place to put this, but I was wondering if there was any way we could get a Welcome center for the forum? Just a place where new arrivals can say hi and regular attenders can meet them? I just think it'd be really helpful for some ^-^

Thanks!

Most newbies identify themselfs as such. As I have seen, most if not all get a welcome. We have a wide variety of people who specialize in their duties. Some are welcommers, some are good with products and some have the technical abilities.

It does seem to work well. But I do understand your thoughts though.

Welcome Tippy, everything might seem over whelming, but it does get easier. When I first joined in Aug I was scared to death. Everyone on here is very knowledgable (probably spelled wrong) not a good day for me. You will learn alot. have a happy new year.

Welcome Tippy

Hope to see more of you here on the forum.

And it is so true Momma Goose, and I had never thought about that before, that we all all had our duties and specialized in them

I am not quite sure what my duty is, but I guess I will slot into my position eventually.

Its interesting this was brought up. The first thing I looked for recently when joining was an Introduce Yourself area. No doubt depends on available resources for maintenance but could be worth while.

Hi Pondlady and Tippy. Welcome to the board. Glad you have jumped in without an individual welcome thread :D It is a good thought, perhaps would be a good place to post the 'Newby" kit.

Just wanted to jump in here and welcome yall to the board!

Often, a newbie will start a thread, introduce themselves, describe where they are in the process of being sick/getting diagnosed, etc. So feel free to post it....maybe in the coping section. You'll be sure to get lots of welcomes :)

Hi Tippy,

I recommend that you use our expressions here rather than these--people have no idea what yours are, and you will just spend too much time explaining them to everyone...thank you!

Take care,

Scott

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
