Rough Week

Had the roughest week in the past 2 years (2 years trying to be gluten-free on the 21st)

Have to feel sorry for my wife and I know she feels bad.

Glutening #1

On Monday she decided to get a real bagel when I was out, missed some crumbs which got into something I tried to eat.

Sick with D and DH for 2 days.

Wednesday she tried to make up for it with a salad she made 10 times in the past few months. Within minutes I was sick again.

Tonight she made Pamala's brownie mix, that was it but again running back and forth to the throne room and all broken out with dh on top of the dh.

Sometimes its just rough trying to do it right!

Am sorry to hear its been so rough Ken! I think sometimes when its been so long it may be harder.

My sister Peggy is visiting from Southern California and she too got sick for the first time in 2 years. Sicker than a dog!! I am having her stay with me now rather than upstairs with our aged mother who hasn't completely cleaned up her act.

Hope you remember to take probiotics, marhsmallow root, slippery elm and the rest once you can tolerate anything. Peggy is doing much better using blackberry leaf tea--against the D.

Thanks Bea,

Usually I just sort of float around between my projects with no problems but for some reason last week was different.

I'm going to look for more S elm tomorrow and hope I can find it here. Leaving on the 29th so no time ot order from internet.

Hope your sister is better soon.

thanks again

Ya know, I bet if you ask really really nice, Collette would be happy to share some rain with you! Maybe you could even swap rain for warmth! :D Sounds like a win-win trade to me! :P

Seriously, hope you feel better soon!

      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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
