I used to be real good friends with this woman at work, then in Jan, she joined the gym with another coworker. We never got to talk anymore but I just figured because we didnt have lunch anymore that was the reason. I have emailed her on occasion and she has taken my emails and forwarded them onto to the girl who she goes to the gym with. Whenever I leave my desk to do something when I come back she is sometimes there with my cubie mate (her gym buddy) and she will be whispering and then look at my out of the corner of her eye.

I consider it evil because I never did anything to her but she treats me like crap. I always look at it as people drift apart...but she acts like I did something horrible. I do not trust them.

Hey. I'm 13 and OH YEAH i have had SO many problems with evil friends.

Once i was diagnosed with celiac and partial epilepsy, i told someone who i thought was my most trusted friend at school. She ended up telling the whole school. SO MANY stories got around that everyone was bugging me. I already had a reputation for being wierd (like stargirl thus my name)

bringing animals and stuff to school, dancing during lunchtime, finding no interest in sports, not caring about popularity, dressing in mis matched brand name clothes, people whispered about how i looked so goth and punk but yet i wore stuff from abercrombie and fitch. but they still thought it was cute and cool. I guess you could say i was popular. i just don't understand people much. one minute they crowd around you so hard you can't breath the next they make fun of you for the things they thought you were cool for. just cause i was diagnosed with celiac and partial epilepsy.

now, my so called friend was now my so called enemy and i didn't realize it. everyone didn't talk to me, ect, ect. then i realized, hey, why was no one talking to me? i mean not even my so called friend.

i acted like nothing happened until people started making fun of me and attempting to force me to eat things that i couldn't have. then i would give in and eat it and start having mood swings and depression. If i had a self-destruct button i would've pushed it.

everyone hated me. they still do. when people ask so who are you're friends now, i say friends? correction friend. she's the only one who brought me through this all.

you'll know a real friend when you meet somone who wants to know YOU. not how you dress or who you like. when someone wants to talk about the REAL things in your life instead of what's happening to Orlando Bloom or Paris Hilton. If someone crys when you tell them you're cat died then they are your friend. if you ask them to listen and they LISTEN without giving advice or talking about personal experiences or going off topic until after you're all done, they are you're friend. If you yell at them and tell them they're evil and stuff, but they nod and listen and know you're mad and will get over it and DON'T yell back at you, they're you're friend. You'll know a TRUE FRIEND when you have someone who will see you through everything.

as for you're evil friends, i would gradually stop hanging out with them. tell it to their face, you're not being nice and i can't stand it, so until you change or the world comes to a closing and all the hamburgers in the world explode, i don't really want to hang out with you. This doesn't mean i hate you or anything, I'm just don't feel you're being a real friend to me.

hey, do whatever it takes, just be YOU and that's all the matters.

i'f you're YOU and just YOU, you'll attract REAL friends, cause REAL FRIENDS want to be friends with the REAL YOU.

Oh my gosh, stargirl, I know just what you mean.

I had/have a friend that was always telling me her problems and I'd listen and I thought we were friends. But now that I have celiac disease, and at first I was kinda depressed, and I tried to talk to her and she's just like "whatever"

My friends are very supportive. When I first learned I had celiac, my best friend started to talk to me about the foods I COULD eat and made me feel a lot better. My friends and I are tight. So, just to clear this up, not all friends are "evil". There are people out there ready to help you. You just have to find them. They don't have to be just like you either Who would have thought that my best friend would be a Cross Country runner!

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

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
