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!*

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
