i've been diagnosed with celiac for god knows how long and the last time i had wheat was 2 months ago. it's so friggin hard and all, i mean people make fun of you and stuff, i have 1 friend, i hardly ever talk to people, i mean REALLY talk to people. and i guess my life just kinda sucks. i used to be really popular, but then everyone found out i had celiac and partial epilepsy and things just sorta went downhill. people started saying bad things about me, i mean thing that i will never forget for as llong as i live.

my friend is always telling me not to give up and how every1 at my new school sees me as a overly happy and charismatic person and that i should keep it up, but i'm really depressed at heart and it's becoming almost too much to keep it back and not tell anyone. I just don't see how i'll ever be popular again, though that doesn't really matter anymore.

I would've gone down anyways i guess, i mean i'm really strange. the way i bring snails and lizards to school and say hi to people i don't know and cry at people i've barely know's problems.

it's just too hard to keep it all in and be, well, normal.

especially when i got celiac haunting me.

anyways. back on happy topic. Hellos to everyone. i'm new here....

a wittle bit about me -- my friend calls me stargirl, i guess cause i'm like her. I'm 13 and i live in california. I'm an artist to start off, of all sorts. I draw and enter in shows at my local art center and i've sold a piece. Other art forms i do -- martial arts, writing, photography, and i dance though i'm horrible. I loves animals. I've had thousands of birds, lizards, ect.... but right now i own one beta fish, AquaFlame, 2 leopard geckos, Gieco and Rugziel, one bearded dragon, Dargo, and one dog (sha-pei lab mix) Nerys.

Favorites

movie: Pay it Forward

book: pendragon, harry potter, warriors, but overall favorite the 2 inkspells!

color:black and green

friend: melia

dream: i wanna be a graphic designer

TV show: eureka

Band:Green day

Song: boulevard of broken dreams, bad day, and i dunno the name but it goes "staring at the ceiling making friends with shadows on the wall.....i'm not crazy i'm just a little unwell, i know right now you can't tell, but stay a while maybe then you'll see a different side of me. i'm not crazy i'm just a little impared i know right now you don't care, but stay a while maybe then you'll see how i used to be."

Hey stargirl! I just felt like posting in something... You don't need to be so depressed. Actually, a lot of what your probably feeling is probably hormones. (hey, my parents are nurses. cant help it...) I'm sure your a great person and that you shouldn't seem to be who you aren't. I think it's bad for the mental health.... Or something like that... ;)

Brains can't fly. It's scientifically proven.... hehehe.... Well, all I'm going to say is, I'm a lot like you in the fact that most people see me as happy. (NOT PREPPY!!! NOOOO!!! SAVE ME!!) Sometimes I'm not happy, but I have Mood Swings. (I have a red shirt with the tazmanian devil on it that says mood swings...) Just remember, you have friends here!

my brain DOES FLY!!!! it has small engines at the base and inertia dampeners to soften the landings.

that thought makes me happy.

((you'll find i say that alot))

i'm glad you're not preppy. i have nightmares about cheerleaders running towards me with machine guns.

i'll remember that my friend! :)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
