Still Coping...

Hey everyone,

It's been awhile since I posted. I'm still trying my best to be gluten-free as often as possible. But it is so hard right now. As I stated in another message, my mother has been diagnosed with colon cancer and I am worried about her. She has started Chemo. and radiation, and she is very fatigued. My seizures are happening like crazy...I'm just stressed. But anyway, enough about all of that...

I got an A this term for my class! I'm afraid that I haven't been that good at being gluten-free though...and gosh, my bowels are showing it too! :rolleyes:

I MAINLY wanted to tell you all hey! :P So, ya'll take care! -Julie

Hey, you are celiac and eating gluten? I hate to say the obvious but that is a very very bad idea, maybe you get away with it for a little bit but it just is not worth it I promise you. Best thing you could do to help your Mom right now is stay healthy and stay gluten-free. Take care I hope you and your Mom get better.

It can be hard but once you get off of it and see how much better you do it really isn't that hard to avoid it.

Think about the risks of cancers, diabetes, and other serious things....that scares me to death and that should scare you away from gluten.

Think about it...is your health worth risking for a piece of pizza?

You will not like the consequences in the long run...it's a very bad idea to stay on gluten.

Hope you and your mom feel better soon :D

      Sorry, @JudyLou, as reread your post, I see that you have had gene testing done already.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      Welcome to the forum, @Mark Conway! Can you be more specific about the "coeliac" test your doctor did? There are more than one of them. What was the name of the test? Also, did he order a "total IGA" test? This is a test to check for IGA deficiency and should always be ordered along with the tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. If you...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg. Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms...

      Welcome to the forum, @Mark Conway! Can you be more specific about the "coeliac" test your doctor did? There are more than one of them. What was the name of the test? Also, did he order a "total IGA" test? This is a test to check for IGA deficiency and should always be ordered along with the tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. If you are IGA deficient, the IGA celiac blood antibody tests used to check for celiac disease per se will not be accurate. Also, if you have been cutting back on gluten before the tests, that will render them invalid. You must have be eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months before the blood draw to render valid test results.

Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities.  Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement.  130 times the safe upper limit.  130 mg = 130,000 mcg. Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help. I've had stomach problems for years, pain in the tummy, lower back left and right side, different stools, diarrohea constipation etc, My GP says it's IBS. As I've got older the pain has become worse and constant. I also get ulcers on my tongue. I've had loads of tests done everytihng apart from an endoscopy I think. I had a test for Coeliac last July and the result was negative. My GP says it can't be coeliac because I'm not losing weight. He thinks it's stress or all in my head. I'm not stressed and I'm in pain all the time now. Sometimes it's unbearable and dark thoughts have entered my head. Could I have Coeliac even though I tested negative last year. I'm at my wits end, I eat healthily and cannot pinpoint which foods could cause this pain. Can anyone help? Thanks Mark wind
