I have to say, having been on this board for over 3 years, that I LOVE it!!!!!!!!! I know people argue and there has been some negativity lately, but I love the fact that I learn something new every day. I just learned I can now drive 2 exits away and get gluten-free pizza at Uno's.

People here are wonderful!!!!!!! If you want to argue about that, give me your best shot!!!!

I love this board too! Without it, I would still be wondering what I could eat and where I could eat. Also, the recipes are great. I don't even need a cookbook! :P

I love this place too! :) :) :)

I don't have a lot of support in the small town where I live... this forum has really helped me learn about gluten intolerance... plus casein intolerance, other food intolerances, thyroid issues, and autoimmune disorders! I wish I had known about it when we first figured out that our son is intolerant to casein.

Me too! :) I think it's hard to communicate when you're limited to words on a screen. I'm sure I come across the wrong way sometimes. I try to give everyone an extra measure of grace. I was just thinking this week how I was so lucky to find this board, and so early on and have gotten so much support. I was thinking "now if I could only find one for diabetes like this"! My local celiac disease support group is great at what they do too. It's just different from what I get here.

:) THANK YOU GUYS!!!!! :)

It's pretty hard to imagine living gluten-free without the internet.

I thank you all for the great support. Life is so much clearer since I visit this family every day. I don't feel isolated. The other great thing is you can talk about any subject without judgement. Thanks...

ok, i'll jump on the bandwagon too!

i don't know what i would do without this board. i've learned so much in 4 months and i know i'd be glutening myself all the time if not for all the good tips i've read. i tell everyone i know about how much of a resource and a support this is. one of my friends is currently awaiting her blood test results and she's already asking for the board info in case she is diagnosed.

so thank you everyone, for being so knowledgeable and supportive!

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      Thank you @trents! This is all sound advice. In 2022 I did have a biopsy done with the EGD: SPECIMEN: (A) DUODENUM, BIOPSY (B) GASTRIC BIOPSY(C) GASTRIC POLYP, BIOPSY(D) ESOPHAGUS BIOPSY (E) ESOPHAGUS BIOPSY This would have been when the candida was found.  If I understand right it’s the duodenum they take a biopsy of. Nothing was mentioned about Villous atrophy however they were not looking for that particularly.    Something that stumps me is the correlation between symptoms and damage. One seems to equal the other. I have yet to see damage with “silent celiac”. Not saying it doesn’t exist.  Also super curious on other symptoms that would improve...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I know I haven't been tested for Celiac yet. But If I took a blood test would they be able to say what I am deficient in as far as vitamins and minerals so I can see what supplements to take or is it not that easy to figure out what is needed to balance out vitamins/minerals.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      All that is exactly why you should have an endoscopy with a biopsy of the small bowel lining done. It's a very simple procedure and in the US they put you under for it so there is no discomfort. You don't even have to do a cleanout like you do for a colonoscopy.  It might also be wise to wait a few months and get the tTG-IGA checked again if nothing else. If it elevated now due to some temporary infectious process, it should not remain elevated. But a biopsy would distinguish between IBD and celiac disease. And remember, the diagnosing of diseases is often not a black and white, cut and dry process. You often have to weigh all the evidence and just go with what is most likely the cause. When...

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I understand your exasperation.  My doctors were totally clueless.  Me?  I couldn't believe it was so simple.  I had studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious about what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  It's about giving the body the nutrients it needs to heal.  Read my blog for more of my journey...  Do take the time now to make some changes.  It's a matter of putting on your own oxygen mask first before you do anything else.  I regret I didn't do more to take care of myself first.  It's amazing how quickly ones life can unravel if in poor health. Simple things you can do immediately that will help are: Stop consuming oats, dairy, and corn. Keep a...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      @trents - sorry, I know that didn’t make sense. I need to get better at rereading the things I write.    The people I know of that have a gluten sensitivity or intolerance have tested negative for celiac. They can’t have gluten of any kind without having a reaction. That to me isn’t helpful. If I reacted to gluten I wouldn’t eat it regardless of it being celiac or not. I’ve come to learn the real issue with celiac is the damage, not the intolerance.    Gliadin Deamidated is another test I’ve seen that I wanted to get done. Also, the genetic testing. HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. Although my liver levels are not elevated now, I went through a time when they were. I would say maybe 7 years ago. I also had major...
