Annika Update

For those of you that remember our struggle with little Annika's rash and hives, I have some GREAT news. We have finally narrowed it down to four allergies. Milk gives her hives almost immediately. Rice and apples give her a rash, though it seems to take between 2 and 4 days. Corn gives her hives, but seemingly not immediately which is part of what was causing us some confusion. We haven't introduced most of the popular allergens, and of course she will remain gluten free until preschool, so we may not even know about some of her allergies. It's hard to say. At least we're on the right track though now. Her skin is beautiful and clear for the first time since she was a newborn. She also is much more pleasant now that she's not constantly scratching. This week has been amazing. She has not a patch of itchy skin on her, no more bloody clothes, no screaming while she scratches, clear face... It's amazing!!!

Thanks again to everyone who gave us support in our search for answers.

Thanks guys! I can't believe how big she's getting either. It seems like just yesterday that I was pregnant with her and Tori was my little one. It all just goes entirely too quickly. This is our last so I am hanging onto every moment.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
