I Really Haven't Disappeared Completely

Hey guys!

I know, i haven't been on in FOREVER like over a year probably, and i feel bad cause i've missed so much.

I think it really has been like a year since i've actually talked to everyone, sad...

So here's an update

I'm at university of puget sound, great amazing school, that is also REALLY good with gluten-free stuff...plus i've got a kitchen downstairs in my dorm so i can cook/bake gluten-free stuff there if i want gluten-free stuff...

I had the redo of my jaw surgery on August 4, 2008, a week before i started school, got discharged from the hospital like 1 week before school started, it was really hard in the beginning to be on the liquid diet dealing with orientation activities etc. But now i'm back to basically eating normally now...

School is great, crazy amout of work, just got done with midterms WOOHOO! and i'm going to visit my sister in portland for the weekend for fall break, gonna go pig out on gluten-free food there (corbett/hawthorne fish house, grolla etc...)

Just posting this to say hi, and again apologies that i haven't been online nearly as much...School takes priority and it's been a lot of work this year so far, 1/2 way done with first semester of college!! yay hahah

how has everyone been?

<3 m

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up!  I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there.  He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now.  I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.

      New onset constant gas

      @HilaryM, Are you eating a diet high in carbohydrates?  You might find a Paleo diet easier on your digestive system.  A Paleo diet can promote changes in  intestinal flora, effectively starving out SIBO bacteria.   Be wary of gluten free processed foods.  Many are not enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like gluten containing foods are.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.  Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot make and so must get from the diet.   Supplementing ensures our bodies get a fair chance to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      @MelissaClinPsyD, I hope you investigate whether your participants take nutritional supplements.  The group of eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and magnesium have a big impact on mental health, especially depression.  I know correcting nutritional deficiencies were most important in my physical and mental health recovery!   There's more information and my mental health struggles in my blog.   Keep us posted on your progress!
