I got an email from my mom today just saying that she was proud of me and then I was just thinking how I am proud of all of us living on this gluten free diet. It's SO HARD to get used to and while it may get "easier", I don't think it gets "easy" for most.

Just a big high five to everyone out there making the sacrifice everyday whatever stage you are at, even if you're at the end of your rope with Celiac Disease at least you're hanging on and that is something that should always receive praise!

Have a good week everyone!

thank you and im proud of you to. I also have an awesome mom, she came down yesterday and bought me tons of gluten free items. My parents have been so supportive of me during all of this and i dont think i could have done it without them. They are always asking me what is safe and not safe for me. LIke for instance i told them electrasol was safe so they went to sams and got me 3 90 tablets of the stuff, along with many other gluten free stuff and tons of stuff from vitamin cottage. My mom and dad are my best friends and im so lucky for that.

      Migraines can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is a B vitamin that becomes depleted quickly because it can't be stored long.  All the  B vitamins work together to make energy, ATP, which is used to fuel all the cell activity.  Without Thiamine, the energy production cycle doesn't even get started.   There's studies done on mice showing thiamine deficiency affects the offspring of thiamine deficient mothers and fathers.  The offspring have fewer thiamine receptors and are prone to becoming thiamine insufficient quickly.  They have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Supplementing with extra thiamine helped them  tremendously. Migraines have run in my family for...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thank you, @Oldturdle, I greatly appreciate that.  I've always been a curious kitty.  I wanted to figure out why I didn't feel well because I knew it wasn't all in my head like they told me.  It pleases me to be able to help others in the same boat. Yes, alcohol prevents the absorption of thiamine and stops thiamine from working properly.  This can lead to Wernicke's Encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, where thiamine deficiency severely affects brain function.  Doctors are trained to look for the triad of symptoms: opthalmoplegia (nystagmus), ataxia, and altered mental state.  However, not all people present with all three symptoms.  Many (80%) don't get diagnosed until their autopsy.   ...

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a...

      Scott Adams makes an excellent point about the possible pending scope with biopsy being the reason you were advised to keep eating gluten, @NCalvo822! You might want to get some clarification about that. What you don't want to happen is to go gluten free and then have to go back on gluten at some point in order to produce valid scoping/biopsy results.
