My Hopes And Dreams For 2005....

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

My hope is that 2005 will bring us a celiac cure.

My hope is that the medical establishment will wake up and really start to understand and detect this disease in the millions of people who currently are suffering from it and don't know what it is they have.....

My hope is that the world will turn a corner and really start trying in earnest to obtain peace around the world.....

My hope is that God will take care of all of the children left without parents in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand and all of the other countries effected by the tragedy this week.......

I have high hopes for myself and my family this year. We are moving in six days, we sold our house in the city (Toronto) and bought a house out of town (about 45 minutes outside of the city), in a nice little town. I am staying home on sick leave for about 1 year to concentrate on getting my health back on track. I have a positive feeling that we will find a treatment that works for me for the collagenous colitis and my health will really take a turn for the better..... I am excited to start a new life in a new town, new home, get the children into a community that has that "small town" feel to it. We made enough from the sale of our house to be able to climb out of the mountain of debt we are in, and take that weight off our shoulders.... Yep, I really have high hopes for this year.....

I hope for health and happiness for 2005 to all my friends on this site.

Have a wonderful Happy New Year!

Karen

Yes, Happy New Year, everyone!

I have similar hopes to yours :). Also, I heard Dr. Green talk on NPR a couple weeks ago. He said that within the next five years, there will very likely be a treatment (not cure) for celiac. It won't allow you to eat wheat, but, I guess it would heal your intestines and perhaps aid your digestive system. I guess the 1/2 hour radio segment is also a positive step for celiac awareness. We're getting articles in magazines, newspapers, and now segments on the radio. The word will get out...it might take a little while, but more people are getting diagnosed now and I think the word is really starting to spread. After all, if you look at how many new members we have and the rate at which they are coming, we're making progress! :D

Of course I hope that I can sort out my stomach and digestive issues during this next year. Actually, I hope we can all get healthy in 2005! All the best to everyone here and happy new year!

AMEN to all those comments, Karen! :)

With what has happened with the tidal wave and tsunami (sp), it has really made me realise how very blessed I am.

I wish all my friends here a wonderful and peaceful 2005.

God bless.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      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...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      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...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

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.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
