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...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Paulyw! So, we need some clarification here because your post is a little confusing. Am I correct in assuming that before you ate the food offered by your client, you were already aware that gluten-containing foods made you ill? And am I correct in assuming that you have never had any formal testing done...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Hi-im new to this forum so thankyou for accepting me. I have had dietary issues for at least 12 years. Last summer i had a terrible episode when a client made me lunch-2 toasties and 2 slices of homemade cake. I am a landscape gardener. I was stupid to drop my guard and eat the food-not wanting to offend the kindness. Within 1 hour i...

I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.
