I Finally Tried It!

I went to a gluten free pizza party last nite! OMG.. . pizza was fantastic. all kinds.. all toppings.. it was unreal. The appetizers alone were enough to make you cry.. so much food and all safe! Only the people who have been part of the celiacs group I am in now, ones that have been there for years were allowed to bring food.. even though I have been gluten free, I was only allowed to bring drinks, as they arent as sure of my understanding of cross contaimination and such, which was understandable and no problem to me...

there were buffalo wings, bacon wrapped dates (which i have seen on here and now i know for sure they are unreal!!!) all kinds of salads, hummus, spinach dip, tortilla chips.. then came the pizzas

but the reason for my thread... I finally tried the Woodchuck Ciders... OMG! I am in love. I no longer miss beer, I dont care, this stuff is awesome!! I had pear and apple flavors last nite.. I had to buy my own 6 pack today of apple and had a few myself today while moving furniture around. It was so "normal" to have a ice cold bottle in my hand and enjoying what I was drinking. The ONLY downside is I waited so long to try it! but now i know.... :ph34r:

It was great Rachel. We also have a BBQ every summer! We are currenly researching a place to have it at. Too many people show up to have it at my celiac groups leaders house! We are all going to the Bonefish Grill next month and last year and every year we have a huge fund raising dinner at a Portugese restaurant! All safe eating!!! Its pure bliss!!! I would love to have that everyday.. totally safe eating.. no matter what.. no cross contamination! ahhhh.. reliving it now!

You make me want one..and it's only 10 am!

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.
    • Ginger38
      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      There were some interesting talks, particularly Prof Ludvig Stollid's talk on therapeutics for coeliac disease.    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRcl2mPE0WdigRtJPvylUJbkCx263KF_t

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!
