Hi all

This is my first post. I have been long time lurker and just joined. I feel like I know many of you.

The last two parties at my office have been great. They noticed that I would come and not eat anything. So now they have fresh fruit along with the sweet and dairy . I feel included again.

Just wanted to let all of you know.

Sensitive to 21 foods including wheat, gluten, dairy, and tomato.

Susan,

Welcome to the boards--glad you have come out of the shadows and are here posting! This is a great place to get support for gluten and other dietary sensitivities--it seems like many of us have more than one!

It's great that not only did your co-workers notice, but they acted upon what they saw! You are in a rare spot to have people be so thoughtful. You are very lucky. :)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I am curious: What was your initial level at? How many daily IUs were you taking via supplements and for how long? What did your level drop to? How many daily IUs are you taking now via supplements? Regards, Known1

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @MoniqueCham! Celiac disease damages the villous lining of the small bowel but, as far as I know, doesn't affect the underlying smooth muscle tissue of the bowel.

      I am monitored for this value of Vit D. I kept going down so the Vit D had to be increased.

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      By MoniqueCham · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease 40 years ago and lymphocytic colitis 20 years ago along with refractory celiac disease affecting mid jejunum to mid ileum (diagnosed using a capsule endoscopy). My antibodies to tissue transglutaminase were normal on a strict gluten free diet. Both the lymphocytic colitis and the refractory celiac disease responded well to entocort. I have a number of autoimmune conditions including systemic granuloma annulaire (a skin condition) which was treated with methotrexate. I was on a low dose of methotrexate (15 mg once a week with folic acid every day when not taking methotrexate). In 5 months my sigmoid colon ruptured. Pathology reports show that I had significant necrosis of my sigmoid bowel due to no known cause and a large hole in the bowel. My surgeons felt that the methotrexate may have caused the damage and rupture to my bowel (1 in a million chance). My question is has anyone experienced similar issues with methotrexate given that the integrity of our intestines may be compromised in celiac disease?
