Thinks she's gluten intolerant also.

My daughters are starting to pay more attention. They are starting to understand why dad steers

clear of the Chinese Food, the Subway Sandwiches and cake. My nearly 18 year old daughter is

showing clear symptoms after a glutenated weekend. My daughter is hard of hearing, and knows sign well. We were at a birthday party this weekend and she was clearly signing what she thought was going to happen (to her) if she ate that big piece of cake....:)

Wife and oldest daughter remain uninterested in the gluten free lifestyle ;)

I am really hoping that explosive D in ASL is something along the lines of spelling out wheat and doing the tummy rub sign.

:)

Glad your daughter's catching onto ya!

Good for your daughter! My 15 yo discovered the same thing and is very dedicated to the diet now. So much better to avoid problems than to try to fix them when you're older.

Dear JerryK,

I am not surprised! These things are genetic! It is good she is learning now. The later you find out, the more problems can be caused. That girl is smart!

It's actually more like making a fist with one hand. Your palm goes flat against the bottom of the fist....

and then you make a motion, indicative of a "valve opening". It's quite descriptive for those in the know :lol:

For greater emphasis, you can hold the "valve" open multiple times and with more vigor!

Your daughter is a very smart and sensible girl to be able and willing to take responsibility for her own health.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! You know, I think I had a deaf guest make that sign at me at work once. I worked in a hotel. I'm pretty sure it was in reference to one of my coworkers... heh heh heh....

On another note, has anyone noticed how RECENT of a disease this is? I honestly think it's only really been around for about 150 years. Funny how it came along with the advent of commercial processed flours and sugars..... Perhaps theres been some genetic breakdown? I think the Weston A Price foundation has it nailed. Start eating food from 500 years ago and your body will thank you. It's quite a hard process, I'm not even there myself yet purely because of the VOLUME of food I require (I'm one those disgusting skinny people that HAS to eat all the time). But I give this whole caveman diet thing a lot of credit.

No, no. It's been around since antiquity.

A Brief History of the Disease

As far back as 250 A.D., Aretaeus of Cappadocia included detailed descriptions of an unnamed disease in his writings. When describing his patients he referred to them as "koiliakos," which meant "suffering in the bowels." Francis Adams translated these observations from Greek to English for the Sydenham Society of England in 1856. He thus gave sufferers the moniker "celiacs."

I'd say go back to eating food from 10,000 years ago, pre-neolithic times. :) The ancient egyptians were about the first to start suffering from modern diseases that we currently have and they ate a lot of grain.

Wheat is pretty new to the human diet and is becoming a larger and larger component of it.

Dear Julie-uk-nz,

Thanks for the link!

Dear Nancym,

Hey, I read about that too! Heart disease did not exist, nor did obesity until people began cultivating grain! I read about it in "ZonePerfect Meals in Minutes" by Dr. Barry Sears. I found that fascinating! Thanks for the info! That just proves Celiacs have been around for a very long time. I am with Dr. Sears, I do not think we were ever supposed to have eaten grain at all.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
