I'm Back!

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!

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      I finally got rhe answer and Tylenol is ok. Thanks everyone

      If you're still eating gluten, I'd ask your doctor for a proper blood panel, specifically tissue transglutaminase IgA, total IgA, and maybe deamidated gliadin peptide tests. Home tests aren't always reliable. Since you mentioned fatigue and weight loss, it's worth checking for nutrient deficiencies too (iron, B12, vitamin D). Even if it's not Celiac, those labs can point to malabsorption issues.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!
