Does anyone had good books on this subject? A few of my aunt's have been diagnosed with it and my grandpa had it. I have a feeling my mom does too looking up on the subject but I couldnt discuss it with her. She would be offended and not listen to my concerns at all.

Any help on this would be appreciated, we dont have a good relationship. Its mostly on my part since she feels everything is fine and well I do not and I would like better ways to deal with her and her mood swings.

Thanks :)

Define what you mean by "personality disorder"....do you mean Bipolar Disorder? Or Boarderline Personality Disorder? There is LOADS of info on the web about BPD...just google the term.

Hope this helps a little.

IF you mean borderline personality disorder there are some really great books out there including self-help workbooks. Try I Hate you, Don't Leave Me and Stop Walking On Eggshells. They both gave me a ton of insight into the illness.

Of course, all of the above personality disorders could easily be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease.

Her personality fits with borderline personality disorder except I wouldnt call her impulsive. Her self harm is picking scabs, zits and sores to the point of bleeding. She has really bad scars on her upper arms for it and refuses to wear short sleeve tops. Im sure she has gluten intolerance but she will not even try the diet neither will my dad. They say they are going to and do it for family get togethers since my family and my sister's family are gluten free but they never stick to it. Both me and my sister have a double gene. I love her dearly but she is as stubborn as a billy goat (along with my dad) and she is very hard to have a conversation with.

Everything changes right in the middle of conversations even her voice changes sometimes. It's like she picks up an accent sometimes. It seems like she just loves to argue but I think its much deeper than that, she will contradict herself multiple times in the same conversation. Her memory is bad and she will steadily forget what she says and not believe it when you tell her. Her family was horrid, honestly my grandpa did do his best but he came from a much more messed up family and brought some of it with him and it went down the line.

Thanks :)

I was DX'ed Borderline about 3 years ago now. I agree with all of the books that were listed, but also, look into Dialectic Behavorial Therapy. That program saved my LIFE!!! What some people don't understand is that it isn't about REFUSAL to handle stuff "correctly", but about not knowing how!! I NEVER learned how do function w/o cutting (I started when I was 11), screaming, yelling, manipulating, etc etc. I just didn't KNOW. The premise of the program is to teach you the skills you just somehow missed.

AND within 2 weeks of going gluten-free my MAJOR mood swings were just GONE.

Sorry you have to go through this.

I can see this with my mom. She does not know how to handle conflict at all. My dad has always just gave in 99% of the time since discussing doesn't work with my mom. Her parents never got along and were always yelling and never settled anything. My grandpa was very controlling and mentally abusive at times, and very insecure. My mom doesnt understand boundaries and she cannot discuss anything so she just goes quiet and expects it to go away and to keep the peace I have always learned to just let things go with her, I think it goes back to her childhood and when they would scream she would just be quiet since nobody ever argued or disagreed with my grandpa. I do believe she tries but she just was never shown how to and had horrible examples.

I love her so much that I can look past this but I know its got to be miserable for her and I wish I could help her but she would be to embarased to think of her having emotional problems. She has been on anxiety and depression pills for awhile and they do help a little but not great. My mom is very manipulative with everything. She honestly doesnt believe people can see through it but then her guilt kicks in. I cant imagine what its like sometimes to be in her head.

Thanks Adelle I will look into it :)

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
