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:

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:

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having necklaces. Sometimes waking up feeling horrible brain fog. I did go to my GI doc and they did a blood test and found my TtG-IgA was in the negative range (and a lower number than I'd had before). I also had normal levels of CRP. My stool showed no elevation of calprotectin and no pathogens. My GI doc said the symptoms could be related to a gluten exposure or to IBS. I'm keeping a food diary to see if I can narrow down whats going on. I know I have good days and bad days and Im trying to isolate what makes a good day versus a bad day. Generally so far it looks like if it eat something super cautious like raw vegetables that I chopped myself into a salad and almonds, im fine but if I eat something more complex including, say, chicken and rice (even if packaged and certified gluten free or made by me with gluten free ingredients), it may not go so well. I may end up with either a headache, neck tension, brain fog, and/or diarrhea that day or the morning after. Any other thoughts or suggestions? I am planning to start tracking my foods again but I wanted to do it in more detail this time (maybe down to the ingredient level) so are there any common ingredients that celiacs have issues with that you all know of that I should track? I've got dairy, oats, soy, eggs, corn, peas, lentils on my “watch list”. Other things I should add? I'm hoping if I track for another two weeks I can maybe pin down some sensitivities. Appreciate the help and tips. Thank you so much!!

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.

      Thank you so much for your informative reply. My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash. I had a histamine response to wheat and milk by scratch test by an allergist. I'm not always symptomatic but the older I get the worse it gets. I've found through trial and error that I can react to all grains. Buckwheat and corn included. I tolerate some rice but I wouldn't want to eat it every day. Potato is pretty good for me but I can't eat it every day either. I compromise with squash. I tolerate it well. The Best I feel is while fasting. When I'm in pain and discomfort it's easy to fast even long term, it helps. The problem I'm having is I'm great with my diet for 3-6 months then I start to cheat again. When I don't get immediate symptoms I get this foolish false security. I react then go back to my diet. Rinse and repeat. I suppose discipline is my real issue. I'm very tired of perusing a diagnosis. The constant gaslighting and dismissal is exhausting. Thanks for your suggestion of the autoimmune protocol. I will give it a try. Perhaps the guidelines will help me to navigate better.   Thanks again.
