Hello! This has probably been said but.... I also hold a B.S. in Biology and currently work as a chemist for a Biopharm company. The best way to think of it is like this: The major protien in an egg is "Albumin" which is mainly the egg white. If you were to develop the "Albumin" you would do something mechanical to it, like whip it into a froth. Gluten is THE main protein found in Wheat. To develop gluten you mechanically agitate it by kneading.

I read the whole thread and can't help myself from adding, even though the "friend" is a lost cause. Before diagnosis, I was a hard-core bread baker. Every book, TV show, etc. on baking bread talks about "developing the gluten." It's a very common baking term, in addition to a mechanical action as bump pointed out. A bunch of people have already described foods with well developed gluten vs. underdeveloped gluten, but lots of books will even use the words "be careful to not develop too much gluten." It's a misleading word, really.

If "develop" meant to create, alchemy would have "developed" gold all those years ago! Ha!

I minored in biology and aced organic chemistry, FWIW.

There are some very good answers on here, guys. Keep 'em coming! Even though this friend might be lost, there might be a next time with somebody else, where I or we are able to explain better...

I've never had a baby, but someone once offered me the following advice:

Wait as long as you can before going to the hospital, and eat before you go because they don't let you eat when you're there.

But eat light! The last thing you need in your system is greasy heavy food during labor.

Unless that woman answers me again, I'm not going to talk to her any longer. I don't need any additional worries right now. But thanks you all so much for your much needed advice. I appreciate very much. But you're right, she should have an over-do on her degree... lol.

So, thanks for your encouraging words with the baby. Yes, it sounds like it's really not much longer. I already had a couple of times where I thought "So this must be it", but after I drank some water and lied down everything went back to normal, so it must have been false alarm :o . I know the first time I got those twinges in my lower belly I was so excited and ran around like a crazy chicken. I'm like "I'm going to meet my baby... I'm going to meet my baby!" but then... nothing <_< . This happened a couple of times now and it's starting to get boring. I bet when it really happens, I'm going to be so relaxed and so whatever, I will be in and out of l&d in a heartbeat :rolleyes: ... lol. My doc said the same thing. He's like "Hm, you're probably like 'in... out.... bye'!" :lol:

I had a lot of those "false" labor contractions / braxton hicks with my daughter (none at all with my son).

When I finally went into "real" labor, I kept calling them braxton hicks contractions :huh: . It took me awhile to realize that they were getting stronger and not going away! My mother and sister laughed when I finally said, I think this is the real thing... (they already had figured that out).

Pregnant women are so funny.

I had a boss who was very pregnant and I asked her when her baby was due. She said, well, I've been in labor since about three this morning so hopefully sometime this afternoon. I asked why she had even come in to work and she said she didn't want to sit around and be bored.

Sounds like my sister in law. With her last baby, she had us all at her house playing video games practically until pushing. Then she went to the hospital. Now I can add "watching woman in labor play Guitar Hero and kick my butt at it" to my life's resume. It sure was more fun for her than laying in a hospital bed for hours, though!

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
