Update On Me And My Quest To Be Healthy..

A lot has happened since my vacation from this forum so to cut back on all the emailed questions I am going to post a summary.

So much in fact it is hard to guess where to start... lets first update on our son...

He is doing MARVELOUS! He continues to thrive on his gluten-free diet, and now that we can do some limited egg's he has had a huge new section of food to try. The other day he had Banana bread from Anna , and he loved it. Probably his first "real" bread since we learned of his celiac disease. (For those that do not know, he almost died before his dx... long painful story I may share again to give new ppl hope, but not today..). As far as we know he still has his tubes in his ears, last month he got a bad infection and they were draining well. He is talking up a storm now (he was deaf for a while and could not talk...)! At 3 1/2 years old he is weighing in at around 42 pounds! He dwarfs the kids in his Sunday school class! :) Oh yea he is finally potty trained. One day HE decided he was ready, and that was all it took.

So that is all the good news... if you

I do not regret it at all. I am in a MUCH better place to work, with much better people. The pay is less, but the future is much brighter here. One thing I will be getting out of this jog is my Masters of Divinity, for free. :) I am just gonna have to go slow, like 1 or 2 classes a semester. This move has stretched us in ways I would have have guess, but it is all for the better I think!

Thanks, but a 21 page thread is too much for me right now.

Thanks... and to think at one time I said I never wanted to move here (that was after my 3rd speeding ticket when passing through on the 81 LOL)

Hi Vincent,

I'm glad to see you back! Great to hear that your little guy is doing so well, too. Sorry about the bumpy road you've been on, but it looks like it's working out for the best in the long run. Hope you stick around - we've missed you here. Hopefully we can be some support too.

Good to see you back, Vincent! I'm sorry you've had such a tough time, but I hope from here on things are much easier for you and your family.

Did you ever find out what was causing your health problems?

As always, Timothy is just ADORABLE (just in case you didn't know)!

Hi Vincent ~ great to see you post an update, even if it has been a bit bumpy. Sounds like things are beginning to look up for you now. I'm sure that you will eventually find the key that you need to figure things out with your health. It's such a journey! On a side note, my brother attended Liberty University for a brief time.

I'll have to check out that weight loss thread... I really need some inspiration to get more healthy!

Fantastic news on your son!

I'm sorry to hear about all the rest of the stress in your life, though. :( I hope things continue to stabilize and get better! That sounds like it was really scary! *shudder!*

GUESS WHAT!!!

GREAT NEWS!!!

I BOUGHT SOME RUNNING SNEAKERS!!

Found a pair of 9 1/2 - 4E Reebok Cross Trainers. A bit narrow, a 5E would be better, but I think they will stretch. For $29.99 I was willing to risk it. :)

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
