So a lot of people were asking me where i've been and such the last year basically. So today was my last day of junior year in high school (what many say is the hardest year...) so I wasn't around very much...or at all....

But now school is over, I'm headed to Boston to see my Giants take on the Boston Red Sox (and hopefully beat them...) as well as chill with my aunt and uncle in Boston.

Health wise, I may be having surgery to fix my acid reflux. I am still off corn, soy and lactose as of now, but they are trying to get it so I can have at least a few bits of those allergens without getting sick....

But yes, finally done with school and very happy as well :):):)

Oh and in August I am going to the Northern California Celiac camp for 3 days in Livermore with my Teens Against Gluten group and we are planning probably a small conferece for celiac teens for the fall.

thats about it, oh and it's my 17th b-day today :)

Hi Molly!

Only 1 year left in school, I remember that boy did it fly. I remember heading out the door for the first day of my senior year and next thing I knew it was prom and then I was sitting on the stage in my cap and gown. Enjoy your senior year it is filled with fun and stress, :)

It is nice to see you around again. I hope you enjoy your trip to Boston, and heres to the Giant's winning!

i'm back :) for real this time lol.

So yeah boston was a BLAST!! the giants lost, but i met my favorite player's mom and dad and i got like 15 autographs from all the giants players on the pics of me and them, and I got my favorite player to sign the jersey that i got for my b-day (which is his #) and the catcer threw me a ball that i caught, and another player gave me his batting gloves and a bat.

Giants overall have been really fun this season, yeah they are sucking....but on saturday night i fell and re-tore my quad, and i was sitting my the giants clubhouse where i go before games, and barry zito came up and felt really bad for me, and got the trainer and brought me all this food that i had to turn down cause i can't have it, but it was really sweet, and he kept coming out to make sure that i was okay. it was really sweet of him, plus there were so many other people there, and he singled me out and tried to help me.

but yeah i'm probably having stomach surgery for my acid reflux cause it has gotten really bad, but other than that i've been doing well :]

How did you tear your quad? Playing soccer?

I tore mine playing indoor soccer in law school - worst pain I had in a long time. It hurt with every step.

To this day, I still pull that muscle when I play soccer and shoot too hard with that leg.

Hope you feel better and welcome back!

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
