Deb, do you remember a man from Florida, who started posting here about 3 or 4 yrs ago and he posted in hours---"I have been gluten free for xx amount of hours and this ......... has happened". Between my hysterectomy and celiac, my memory is shot, and I can't remember what his name was in the forum--his posts were wonderful. He didn't drive, he rode a bike--he was in an accident with his bike and broke a bone, which would not heal--that's when he found out he had celiac disease. His name is Tim, I have his phone #, but never can catch him at home--you know, he is working when I am sleeping and I am working when he is sleeping. I gave him my private email addy and phone # and helped him through so many glutenings that he started calling me his celiac angel.

With busy lives, you lose touch, sad but true of us all. I will have to try and call him this weekend and maybe around midnight tonight, when it seems my mind does it's best thinking, then I will remember his name in this forum!!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone and the Happiest of New Years!!!!!

I am not able to participate very much because I got healthy (thanks to this forum) and was able to start a new life. I was days away from getting fired from my previous job and found a new one that pays a six figure salary. Of course that means I work 60-70 hours a week but I am healthy enough and grateful enough for a second chance to do that. 2008 looks to be as busy as 2007 was but that is a good thing considering how bad things were at one time. Overall things are good and I have no reason to complain.

I still check in from time to time but that's all I have time for.

Aww, thanks Deb - I definitely fall under the category of those who disappeared for a while... it's definitely a sign that I've adjusted to the diet but I have learned so much from you guys and just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me get to where i am with this diet. Maybe when things quiet down a little for me i'll be able to post more regularly again. In the meantime...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! :)

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
