Came Out Of The Closet And Did Are Gonna Do The Switch!

No, not how you think *lol*! I finally contacted a Supportgroup, sadly the closest one is over an hour of drive from here. They invited us for their annual POTLUCK BBQ coming up and well go! It'll be so nice to be able to give Brandy anything she wants since everything will be glutenfree!!!! They also put me in contact with another Lady who is Celiac as well and she's from my city Sierra vista! Even though she was never officialluy diagnosed, she gets sick after glutened so badly and it takes her up to three weeks to recover from that! I do believe that since it takes for my dd the same ammount of time now to recover! After I took her off the first time of Gluten (Iwasn't evens ure if that's what it was that bugged her) it took only a bit over a week for her to go back to normal and sleep through the night!. the second time around IO had eher again 3 weeks glutenfree, two days befre the 3 week mark she started sleeping through the night again , on the 3 week makr the Gastro called me and said I have to put her back on gluten otherwiese a biopsy ther only way to pin it down is not gonna turn up anything! So it was back to Gluten again, now she's been 5 dasy off of it, still no improvement, it should acutally get worse again since my son unintentionally fed her a couple of noodles today by dropping some down to the floor :blink: where she picked them up as she crawled by! :ph34r: . she knew what I was after when I yelled out adn attempted to dig them out of her mouth. Once she got something in her mouth she'll not give it up! This did it, I called my husband and told him aobut what had happened and we decided we will go Glutenfree in this house. It's just too dangerous, and one slipup like that ruins all the glutenfree days she had before plus the fact that she seems to react worse everytim she's been off gluten and then gets some! Besides that I realized today that her Vitamindrops have Gluten in them as well :angry: I've been on the phone this morning calling around! Motrin themselves offer this dyefree Motrin which they at least on their website officilally declare gluten and caseinfree! they did say on the phone tha tnoe of their Meds havve gluten in them anymore and that simply not all of them had this expensive test that proves that they really are glutenfree, but this one seems to have been tested since they point that out. Even though the other motrins might be just as Glutenfree and good with this one I'll calm my concience!

Thanks for listening!

Here the link for that Motrin:

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.
