Tiffany, it is so nice to see you again. :) I"m sorry you were attacked. You were missed. And, I am enjoying the Bare Mineral (that's right, foks, this darling girl sent me her stuff that she wasn't using! )

Oh, that was so long ago girl, and nowadays, it would roll off my back! And I am so glad you are enjoying it! I am using gloMinerals now. They are PRESSED!!!! Nice little compact of mineral make-up! No more messy minerals getting everywhere!! (Yeah, I quit using/selling Mary Kay....so sad... :lol: ).

I think we have all been attacked or ignored at some time or other on this site. I know when I was first on here I was ignored, then attacked, and at one point I almost left the board. But the majority of people are great and the information and discussions are worth while.

I am with the others when they say to start something with "I have heard, I was told, Could you tell me, Does anyone know..." All of those are a good way to start especially when it applies to things that may or may not contain gluten.

I recently found this site via surfing for Johnny Rivers links. I couldn't figure out why his name was associated with Gluten free until I read it was a post from Dingogirl about him.
LMAO :lol::lol: !!!!!!

SUSAN !!!That is just classic :lol::lol:

Best laugh this week (....wiping tears from my eyes)

Hi Srokie. I am not on this board too much, just pop in now and then

Tiffany !! Hi!! :D

I hope you weren't scared away!!! Please do hang around. I was "attacked" by a board member some time ago, over something really stupid,
Yep, I remember that! :rolleyes:

I think there are a lot of people who post on this board with really dumb ideas or really stupid things they are planning to do, but come on. How many of us, before a diagnosis, would have thought cutting out a major food group would be a good idea?

People come up with the most ridiculous ways to treat their ailments, but if they work, what's the problem? They only things I take issue with are when people insist that their potentially harmful viewpoint is the only one. If you choose to avoid all products with msg, that is different from saying that everyone needs to avoid all products with msg. (OK, that's not potentially harmful, but it would be very restrictive.)

Also, this board is very cliquish (although there are also many people who are not). I agree that camaraderie is essential to healing, but it would be nice if new people showing up weren't wondering how long they have to be a member before they are allowed to get a little red title at the bottom of their name.

Okay, it's gone (red title)

I'd hate to think it alienated anyone :( (newbie or otherwise) and to be honest I forgot all about it.

Actually after I posted that I kinda looked and realized that most people had removed them already.

The titles were kind of cute, but I remember at least one topic asking what "Rachelville" was.

I guess you could just change them to "self proclaimed".

Mine would be: Self proclaimed newest Spice girl - B!#@h Spice

What's interesting in all this is how insidious cliques can be. I have felt *slightly* left out of the board because I'm not a part of it. I'm not a part of most PMing things that go on, the friending thing that started when our board got upgraded, and lots of the other clique-y things. But that's because I don't participate in it myself. (Ok, it could be my personality too, but I don't even get a "nice try" because I don't really 'try'. :P:lol::P) You can't get into a social circle without time and effort, and some of us choose not to spend our time that way. (I never could get into the 'in crowd' anyway. :P)

Shut, I spent a great deal of time in high school trying to get into the in-crowd. As I expect that most of us did. I arrived as a Senior. I looked around and said to myself, "for this?"

It sent me on a new road when I went to college, just to be myself. I have some life long friends.

I definitely just laughed out loud to that one. Its a good thing no one was around :D You are too funny. Everytime I see the quote in your signature from your ex-allergist, I have to smile.

Tiffany: no matter if you are part of a clique or cool or any of those things, I think what is important --- to me --- is the time, effort, and thoughtful answers that you provide. You have a wealth of information about Celiac - and other topics - that is so appreciated by me and many others. Plus, you are continually a trustworthy poster, which is so important. The board benefits from you, and you benefit from it in the way you choose, and I think that's all that matters. (by the way: You know you are a Celiac when you think someone is REALLY cool because they know so much about Celiac) B)

That is very true! And there's NOTHING wrong with it! You are you and those that like and respect you will continue to do so regardless; those that don't, eh, it's their problem.

I'm really unhappy with the whole star "Rate Me" thing. I think it's being used as a way of being mean. And there's no clarification on what we're supposed to rate people on. Like I said before, I feel like it's ratemyprofessor.com and pretty soon people will bea able to click on a little chili pepper next to your name to show whether you're hot or not. :blink::P :P :ph34r:

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
