What A Wonderful Community

I'm fairly new here, and I found this website while looking for answers to my own issues.

There are enough posts here that sound eerily familiar to my own situation that I felt the need to sign up and participate here.

I'm undiagnosed, but fresh into a gluten-free diet (this is day 3) to see if helps - and so far, so good.

It's great to see a community full of such caring people, and I hope to make a few friends along the way that understand what I'm going through. I won't post my big long history here, but it's available in my blog if you care to read it. ;)

I just wanted to say Thanks for such a great resource. I've learned so much in a very short time.

Welcome!

I remember when I first arrived here. So many people were here to hold my hand and help me through the world of Celiac.

I hope you feel at home here and if we can help in any way, please ask.

Thanks for the welcome, Momma Goose. :)

I guess that's kind why I'm here, for the hand holding. LOL I've felt like I've been enduring all of this by myself, since I don't *look* sick, I just feel sick most of the time.

I do already feel pretty at home here, because I see myself in so many of the posts written here.

Hopefully I can keep learning about celiac disease and gluten intolerance and help someone else down the road.

Thanks again! I look forward to be an active part of this community.

I want to add my welcome :D

You've definately come to the right place for support! When I stumbled on this site, I was floored to see people discussing all of the things I had been dealing with for so long. I had never been part of an on-line group, worse yet, I wasn't computer literate and had to ask my son how to post! :lol: I just knew I had to be a part of this!

Let us know how we can help :)

Wanted to add my welcome too!!!

This website helped A LOT, especially in the beginning. I am glad you feel welcome here and please feel free to ask away. The forum is full of incredibly knowledgable and caring people who are always ready to help!! :D

Thanks jerseyangel and lizard00!

I'm still reading and reading and reading and trying to absorb all of this new information, but I will most certainly be asking question soon!

Thanks again all!

Welcome aboard!!! :D

Like you, when I found this forum, I read tons of old threads. There was so much information to absorb that I now keep a binder for all my notes. I have numerous sections: Safe Foods, Unsafe Foods, Supplements, Books and Publications, Websites, Restaurants and Menus, Recipes, and also a section for related issues. My daughter has finally decided she needs to be gluten-free so I will probably let her borrow it. ;)

curlyfries, thanks for the welcome!

I've been reading tons of old threads too, and I suppose I should be saving the information as well!

Maybe you should make copies of your binder for sale. ;) J/K!

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
