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!!

LOL

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. :)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
