I never really introduced myself to the forum. I "lurked" for a few weeks and then joined but I'm not the kind of person to walk into an unfamiliar situation and just step up and announce "Hi, I'm...." I didn't know how a forum worked and had gotten used to figuring things out myself, which includes my problem with gluten. Plus I was having problems with memory, processing and concentration. On top of that I never learned how to type so it really slows me down and limits what I can say. I wanted to come back and introduce myself properly because I've hit a new level of healing at six months into this. Yeah! I've still got more to do and possibly other issues with food. But, thank you all for you help for myself and for others. I've learned alot from this board that goes beyond Celiac Disease. It's kind of one stop shopping here sometimes :) When I'm up to it and if I can find it again, maybe I'lll add my story to the "What's your Story" thread.

Hi Missy's Mom!

Yep, I remembered I 'lurked' for a while when I joined working things out and reading before I posted too! :)

Hope you continue to feel better and look forward to 'your story' ! (maybe! ;) )

Hello there! You know, it is never too late to learn to type. Even my 80 year old Mom was teaching herself with some computerized typing trainer, I think she really enjoyed it.

Welcome welcome welcome! So glad you're starting to feel much better. Healing is a long process, but the week to week improvements are amazing.

Oh, and Nancym said about computerized training programs... If you're interested in using one, try Mavis Beacon. It's the most fun one that I've ever tried. I used to "play" it like a video game when I was younger. I type pretty quickly now, though I don't think I ever got over 65 words a minute.

Hello and welcome! I lurked around here for about eight months or so myself before I joined, so it's great to have you here. I'm glad that you've finally introduced yourself - nothing too late about it - hope you feel at home!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
