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 getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
