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!

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Yes this is very frustrating for me ... not sure what to think.  Feels like I'm having reactions to a lot of things  Now applesauce?? I don't understand 😞 
    • Colleen H
      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you 
    • Colleen H
      Anyone else get pins and needles. ??? Burning feeling ? Heat makes it so much worse 😔  Winter is here.  I had to lower my thermostat because I couldn't take that hot air feeling 😔  Hopefully it goes away soon

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
