A Sad Day...

Things seem to have the worst timing for me, when I'm due for the good news I instead get the bad.

Mom called be tonight (or i guess last night) to say my auntie's dad passed away from a sudden heart attack late last night/early morning :( . I guess his wife called 911, and they didn't respond, and both ambulances were busy with something (is what my mom explained) so by the time someone got there it was too late :(

I didn't think it would be bothering me this much, but it is. My little cousin's 2nd birthday is on Friday, and the funeral looks to be planned for Thursday (and unfortunately I cant afford to miss classes to go to it, either). And...he spoiled those kids big time. So what kind of birthday party will it be, with one of the main guests not there.....

We're mostly worried about my Auntie, the whole family is. Obviously the death of a father out of nowhere is tragic enough on someone, but she's also 8 months pregnant, due April 10th. So we're terrified of her great upsetness and the stress somehow hurting the little boy on the way... :ph34r:

I should already been in bed, I need to wake up in 6 hours, but i just can't sleep. Not even texting my closest friends even late at night has helped. i REALLY didn't need something like this!!

Please send your thoughts and prayers to my family, especially my Auntie...

Thank you everyone for your support. I love you all... *hugs you all back*

I have the worst headache in the world, and slept about 2 hours (if i'm lucky). And if I cant calm down I know my flareup is going to get worse instead of getting better, so I'm tryin to think of things to help me relax.

I will keep you updated on how things go...

Oooo my Auntie had some contractions earlier today, only 3 minutes apart, but my uncle rushed her to the hospital in Yorkton and they stopped. So they said she's sleeping...and that's the latest update we have.

Maybe it really was stress induced contractions ...

Lisa, I'm so sorry. Hugs and prayers for your family. Even if your auntie delivers early, the odds are very much in her favor for having a strong and healthy baby. It is very hard to lose your dad ~ let her know others are praying for her.

Thank you...

So she got released from the hospital, because they said the baby just shifted, BUT she came to my baba's place tonight to at least say happy birthday to her and she said she's still having contractions! :o

So basically I'm told keep the phone handy, because she said she doesn't expect to stay at home very long! If she does have her baby by tomorrow that could sure make things interesting. 3 birthdays within 4 day span...'his' brother's birthday is on Friday, as i've said before. Imagine the boys when they grow up, parties galore I tell you when your birthdays may be almost identical :lol:

As soon as I do get my new 1st cousin I will post in here!!

I guess it's a way to show us this child will be a blessing...lose one truly amusing man, and have the opportunity to raise another...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax. Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch. Increase the NeuroMag as well. You can add in another Benfotiamine, too.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
