Can Someone Clear This Up For Me?

It's CeliaC disease, not Celiac'S, right? In my experience, the "'s" is only used if the disease is named after someone. From the research I've done, it's not named after someone, although I could have missed something.

Thanks for the confirmation. Now I just have to try to get over getting frustrated anytime I see/hear someone call it "celiac's". Bleh.

unless you use the Queen's english, then it's "Coeliac", but they have to have extra letters in everything.... :rolleyes:

I completely agree with you. Even on Arrowhead Mills website, it calls it "Celiacs Disease." Come on, people!

I have Celiac, but you and I together, are Celiacs, but some of our international friends have Coeliac and are Coeliacs.

I'M GUILTY!

I know it's celiac, but celiacs just sounds better to me. :o

Now that I know it's a pet peeve, I'll try to stop doing it........I have many pet peeves that are word related, so I understand the frustration. (like when people say pacific instead of specific -argh!) :angry:

"A rose by any other name is still a rose."

In the celiac beginning I "searched" the "sprue" word and it came up as a disease in cats...

Since celiac disease can run the gamut of symptoms there's no one word that can describe it. Malabsorption syndrome sounds good, but what about those who only have neurological symptoms?

celiac disease needs a public relations person to refine the name. Something short that defines the whole disease.

And it's LYME DISEASE, not Lyme's. Drives me totally nuts!!! If you ever get a tick bite or think you have Lyme and you go to a doctor for it.......RUN if he calls it Lyme's!! That means he knows absolutely NOTHING about diagnosing or treating it!! :o

In addition, even if he DOES pronounce it correctly, he STILL may know NOTHING about it!

Thanks for letting me vent!!! :lol:

I'm glad to hear that when it is referred to as "celiac'S", it bothers others, too. I was worried that I would come across as a member of the grammer police (which I'm guilty of in some instances), but it's one of those things that just gets under my skin!

I'm the spelling police. GrammAr. :ph34r:

Celiacs drives me crazy, too, and it's a very short drive. :P

Off topic a bit to say Beth, I always read your user name as EMC Master. And then finally realized that it's probably E McMaster.

Molly, I think Lisa meant posting on the board by age 10.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
