I'm sure some of you probably remember this, but it was exactly 4 years ago that I got sick with Celiac (January 1, 2003). I seriously dont know where the 4 years went by. It feels like it was just yesterday. Maybe its good that it goes by quick, that way when I get old I might not remember :lol:

Its been a tough 4 years obviously, and I hope that 2007 is a start to finding my answer to feeling better once again..

Hi Lisa

Best of luck with your goal for 2007. My new years resolution is the same, improve my health and work out why I feel this way.

Awww thanks, that is so sweet of you to say! it really means a lot to me :) ...

I'm replying to this on a short break in class lol...thats what I do in my spare minutes in school, browse the boards haha. I have some kinda bad news to start off this year: I have to drop one class. Theres a re-write available, but if i dont get basically 80% on the rewrite i still fail it no matter what, and you cant do the 2nd have of the class (this semester) without passing the 1st half. So I'm just gonna have an extra spare, and I can either retake it during the summer thru correspondence, or I can take it during university when i transfer.

I honestly dont even care. You people have all teached me that there are more important things than school, and that my health is #1 above all else, so I'm not gonna have no panic attack or breakdown whatever over it. So i dont graduate just yet...so what??? I gotta get my health fixed first, school will always be there.

That was random, but I just found that out this afternoon so I thought I should post about it before I forget to...

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein...

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
