Hi I am already pre registered for the fair. My question is this: I don't remember where any of the buildings are- I went there. Broadhollow Rd. is the Rte 110 or Melville Rd? Somebody help please-- Don't need to get lost trying to find Roosevelt Hall...

Thanx

Lynn

Morning Lynn--Rt 110 is Broad Hollow Rd--I hope that helps. Personally, I have never been to the college--the number is 2350 Broad Hollow--if you go to Mapquest and type in your address, then the college address, it will give you directions. I'm sure if you have been there before, then you will remember once you see the directions. Kev will tell me how to get there, so until now, I had not thought about it.

By the way, where do you live, I'm in East Islip. I'm looking forward to the fair again this year.

See you there!

Dear Deb,

Thanks, I didn't even think about that. I live in Levittown. How old are your kid(s)? Mines' 13.

Morning Lynn,

My kids are grown. Jeremy will be 33 in May, Mike 30, Nick 28, Joe 25, and Holly is 24. I have grandkids closer to your child's age. Three 9 yr olds, 7, 5, 3, and 5 months. My kids and grandkids all live in Michigan. I know that most of my kids, if not all would be much better off on a gluten free diet. My granddaughter Brooklyn has had 3 seizures and the doctors have not figured out what caused them yet, my grandson Colin has enamel problems with his teeth, the youngest Ethin, has been sick since he was born. The poor little guy has GERD, sleep apnea, doesn't utilize protein properly, is dairy free and soy free and he is only 5 months old. When I ask my kids to check into gluten as a possible cause, they just shake their heads. Two of my sons did ask their doctor to be tested for celiac disease and the doctor told one he doesn't look celiac (I guess he doesn't have 2 heads like the rest of us celiacs) and the other was told it isn't necessary for him to be tested at this time!

Hope to see you ar the fair--I will be one of the workers wearing the green t-shirts and the one with the longest hair! ;)

Hey Deb,

Sounds Like your KIds/grandkids have their hands full!! I hope your sons decide to go for 2nd opinions, or get new peds. Maybe they should tell the doctors that it runs in your family== maybe that will get their attention!! My daughter was not well as a baby either. Ok, we will be there- look for the shortest lady 4-9 and my daughter is shorter.. see you soon. Lynn :rolleyes:

      Is this celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal".  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning by biopsy with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63 and my wife 10 years dead.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) in the small intestine in Celiac Disease, and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  'Why' is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even known that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So, as part of your recovery you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were symptoms. Our western diet has many deficiencies built into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks so the symptoms of Gastrointestinal BeriBeri can come and go quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, an indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog symptoms by deficient choline, iodine, thiamine B1.

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.
