OK, I may be a bit slow on the uptake here, I just noticed this today. I'm laughing my butthole off.... :lol: Is that really a group's name?

Dear JerryK,

They certainly are a real band! You would never expect anyone to choose a name like that for their group, but they did! :lol: There are some crazy names for bands out there! I learned about them from Beavis and Butthead. ;) As you know, I am so cultured and worldly! :lol: Some other funny band names include: Insane Clown Posse, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Better Than Ezra, Hootie and The Blowfish, Cinderella, Bad English, and Green Day. Interestingly, most of the bands with the wacky names are the best ones!

Meanwhile, your bro is giving us all pleasure in his suffering. Now, it may sound awful. However, my mother and brother go through the same thing. Then they go eat a pastry, and get sick. Enter Carlos Mencia's Dee Dee Dee! I am tired of explaining this to them. I am tired of them being inconsiderate of my condition.

When I ate gluten, my stomach was literally on fire. So was my butt! When I went to the bathroom, I could feel the acid coming out! :o I thought someone had stuck a fire cracker up there! My brother complains of the same thing, but won't even try the diet. You can try to help others, but if they will not accept it, what can you do?

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Yep. I was the one talking about how attractive men in aprons are. Emeril, Ming, Mario, they are all babes! A man that can feed you is a babe! There is nothing better than an adonis holding a spatula! Rocco DiSpirito, or my favorite Todd English, or how about Aaron Sanchez? There are many to choose from! So many flavors, so little time! :lol:

MING! :) *pant* Lets not forget Alton Brown, he's such a studly, nerdy cooking guy!

I'm telling you, men who cook and/or clean....they light this girl's fire.

OK, so TODAY he tells me that the RUNS ARE ALWAYS WORSE on Monday. I said what did you eat this weekend?...He says oh I was good!.. Yesterday I had eggs...sausage...hash browns...TOAST..

Do you eat TOAST during the weekdays? "Er No..." Well ya dumb $hit, I can tell you why you feel worse on Monday!.....

Then he says...."hey do you hurt every morning when you get up?" I said um..NO..I don't eat wheat...

Well what causes me to hurt? "Well perhaps it's because you are having an immune system reaction caused by the gluten you've been eating"....

The beat goes on.... ;)

So my brother calls me this morning. (my identical twin, for those who don't know)

He says they ran out of bread at his house, and he'd been feeling pretty good. His wife went and bought a couple loaves and he said "I had three Chicken Sandwiches". He says "My butt is scorched".

I'm about rolling on the floor laughing, because of the way he's describing his symptoms....and I'm like DUDE isn't it about time you listened to me?? I've been telling him for months. He's followed along...seen my Enterolab test results...seen the results of my Gene Tests. KNOWS that I've determined I'm SERIOUSLY gluten intolerant, yet HE IS STILL EATING IT.

Even my mom, who at first accused me of Hypocondria now gets it. She taped a TV interview with the doc who wrote "Celiac Disease a Hidden Epidemic"(sorry can't think of his name) and tells me "I'm sure glad you don't have that gene...you don't have to worry." Well maybe not totally true, but at least she's now paying attention. At least she understand why I don't go rushing for the cookies anymore.

The bro however, continues to scorch his behind.....I guess I can look at it as a double blind study of what would happen to me if I continue to eat it....

I love this whole thread!! I'm also an identical twin. I tested with Enterolab for active gluten sensitivity, and double positive for one of the gluten intolerant genes.

Interestingly enough, my darling sister was diagnosed with IBS more than ten years ago, and rheumatoid arthritis two years ago. So I shared all of my interesting news with her, and she hems and haws and seems to find all kinds of reasons why she's not gluten intolerant. I even mentioned that there is a strong connection between rheumatoid arthritis and gluten intolerance.

I can't imagine why someone would not even try something that might help them. Not that it wasn't difficult to give up - but once I felt so much better, it seemed worth it.

I guess it all depends on how you look at it.

Dear NancyM,

Oh yeah! Ming, Alton, Todd, Mario, Emeril...the list goes on and on! Alton is extra hot because not only is he a great cook, but he could probably fix your computer too! That is my kind of man! :lol: Guys who do housework are just as good or better! Tony Danza on Who's The Boss anyone! There is just something about a man with a feather duster in his hand! :wub:

Dear JerryK,

ROFLMAO! :lol: Your brother! OMG that sounds like my bro! Gee, I wonder why I have fire shooting out of my butt? Can you figure that out? Dude, you are eating gluten! Maybe we should change the name of this thread to the retarded relatives thread? ;)

Dear Sheryl,

This sounds like my mother, father, and brother. They make up anything they possibly can to keep eating pastries and other deadly crap. What can you do? I am tired of feeling sorry for them. They sure do not care about me. Not only do they treat me like a hypochondriac, but they have gluten crumbs everywhere. They do not care if my intestines are shredded. Despite being paranoid careful, my parents have managed to gluten me once a week lately.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Sheryl, I'd love to compare notes with ye:)

I'm reading on Yahoo today that Rare "Semi-Identical Twins" have been identified as another type of twin. This is a relief to me as I'm now sure my twin must be one of these as that would totally explain his odd behavior. :lol::lol:

Dear JerryK,

Oh yeah, giving them a hard time makes everything so much more fun! :P They deserve it, too! Relatives think they can make up anything and it is fine. I am sitting there telling them "Don't whine when you get stomach cancer and diabetes, because I warned you!" No one listens. I think the Yahoo search would explain everything! The semi-identical twins make sense. :lol:

Dear NancyM,

Pin-ups would be nice! We'll have Ming with a caption of "Let me Wok your world!" Mario's can be "Real men make pasta!" Todd's will be "Is it me, or is it hot in here?" Emeril's is "If you think Cajun food is hot, check Emeril out!" Alton's can be "Nerds can cook. That is why we are taking over the world!" :lol: What do you think?

Sincerely,

According to the article...

Researchers discovered twins who are identical on their mom's side of the equation but share only half their genes from dad.

Here's how it happened: Two sperm cells fertilized one egg

Dear JerryK,

Wow, that is interesting! I thought that was fraternal twins, though. Wait a second. Maybe fraternal twins are two separately fertilized eggs by the same sperm? Is that how that works? Since I am not a twin, I do not know as much about this stuff.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Fraternal is two eggs, two sperm. That semi-identical thing is strange, I never knew that was even possible...

Getting back to the whole brother thing...whether or not he is identical or semi-identical, I do not know :blink:

I've decided simply mocking him may be the best tactic, esp. when he calls and complains about having stomach issues.

I suppose I could also take pictures of my lovely stools and send them to him for comparison purposes.

(sorry)

He will continue to be in denial until he can't stand it anymore....

Also, I was under the impression that since I'm HLA DQ3,1, I couldn't possibly be Celiac. Some of the posts I've read the last few days lead me to believe that's not true. I've seen a 3,1 poster who's positive and someone with a normal blood panel with a positive biopsy. So it's back to I'm not sure if it's Celiac or Gluten Intolerance and never will be....without a biopsy. :ph34r:

I'm o.k. with that.

. So it's back to I'm not sure if it's Celiac or Gluten Intolerance and never will be....without a biopsy. :ph34r:

I still maintain that celiac is what happens when you are gluten intolerant and continue to ingest gluten--no matter what genes you have.

The genes just give you a predisposition towards something; that doesn't mean that you're not going to develop it without the genes. Not every woman with breast cancer is positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2.

So you could have a biopsy, be declared officially non-celiac, go back on gluten, or even stay mostly gluten-free but cheat every once in a while, and still have your villi wimp out on you and --voila! become celiac anyway. Or you could develop fibromyalgia, or arthritis, or lupus, or thyroid problems, or any number of other things that celiacs/gluten-intolerants seem to be more than typically prone to.

I'm not bothering with a biopsy or genetic testing, I'm just staying the heck away from gluten! And as soon as I figure out how to make gluten-free Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies and Gluten-Free Malt-flavored Ovaltine, I will truthfully be able to say that there's not a thing I miss! :P

Dear sfm,

Thanks for the info! That is interesting. I was never clear on the exact definition of fraternal twins. All I knew was, they could be the same sex and did not usually look alike. That is neat!

Dear JerryK,

I think you should send your poo pics to your bro! :lol: That is so funny! My bro and mother are the same way. They are living in their own little world (but it's okay, they know them there!) La dee freakin' da! :P Maybe one day they will stop complaining about how sick they are and do something! I am at least trying! They just eat stuff that is deadly then cannot figure out why they are miserable.

Today fruitcake brother is once again complaining of the big D! He says "I think it's cause of the stress and anxiety of going back to work on Monday".

I told him...did you ever think it could be the other way around? Did you ever stop to wonder if what you are eating is making you feel more stressed? Perhaps if you changed your diet and gave it a little time, you could actually feel better?

He knows I'm right....

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
