I think the semi-identical twins ended up with some extra DNA, which can definitely be a problem! And I think they might have ended up with an extra Y chromosone.

Dear Jerry,

I am tired of hearing my relatives complain as well. They won't do anything to fix it. I tell them the worst that happens is they do not feel better. Of course, they go through all of these BS reasons why they could not possibly have it. This is despite it being a genetic disease! And unfortunately, I know I am not adopted. :( Oh God how I have prayed that I was though.... ;)

Sincerely,

The chump has a son with ADD and we have a half brother with schizophrenia....both of which

have been linked to gluten....I tried to explain the potential for neurological damage and he just doesn't get it. I think we'll just let him have the runs for a while longer....he'll get tired of it eventually!

Dear Jerry,

:lol::lol::lol: As long as you think he deserves it! I told everyone else in the family, I am done hearing you whine! You either try the diet or shut up! :angry: I am done being sympathetic considering no one even is considerate of my Celiac. Stupid people suck! That reminds me...that is another thing I am allergic to...stupid people! :P Well, better avoid the whole family from now on. My reaction tends to be to choke people, after sneezing of course. :lol:

I find it interesting you have a brother with schizophrenia. You know some other things that are linked to that? Yeast overgrowth and mercury poisoning. After these things are out of the system, many people do not have any symptoms anymore! If your brother has been on antibiotics or steroids, eats a lot of sugar or drinks a lot of alcohol, the yeast is a good possibility. The mercury poisoning is likely if he eats a lot of fish or seafood, and/or has metal cavity fillings in his mouth.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but who lack knowledge about how gluten may be hidden in the food supply. I mean, who would expect to find wheat in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but you may want to consider making your kitchen entirely gluten free to eliminate the possibility of accidents and cross contamination. It would also simplify your meal preparation. Yes, I'm talking about both of you eating gluten free in the home. Many couples find this is the easiest and most practical approach to being consistent and keeping their celiac loved one safe. You might find this helpful:
