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. :)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
