Hey, I just stopped by to say hi. It really has been a year since I was here.

I continue to enjoy the gluten-free free lifestyle. Pretty much symptom free.

In the past year my twin brother has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but still refuses to go gluten-free.

I run 8-10 miles most days with no Fibro symptoms :D

I see some of the same people are still here, so I'll try to stop by more often, assuming anyone

remembers me.

(I don't remember this site having this horrendous green background color...what's up with that?)

Has it really been a year, seriously...time sure does fly. Glad to hear you are doing well.

The green actually got toned down a little from the original change, if memory serves me. Lot's of cool changes on the home page too so be sure to check it out.

Hi Jerry--good to see you again! :D

Thanks for the update--can't believe it's been a year...wow.

Yes, by all means stay in touch and drop by when you can. Scott upgraded the site a while ago and we got the new green trim. We've welcomed lots of new members in the past year, but there are still quite a few of us old regulars, too.

Hi Jerry,

I'm glad to hear from you and glad that you are doing well. We have a few "non-believers" here that could use your sage advise. ;):D

I remember you as the guy who takes awesome photos. I'm glad you're still doing well.

Hi, Glad to hear that things are going well for you. I wondered what happened to you. I was almost going to post "Where's Jerry?"

Hi Jerry, good to see you back, and hearing you are doing well! I can't believe that your twin brother is still, after all this time, stubbornly holding out. I guess he likes being in pain.

I can't believe it has been a year, time just flies by.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
