So I'm not worried at all about thanksgiving and what I can or cannot eat as I wil be happy to just eat something! It is just going to be me, my mom and brother. We are having it at my brothers house which is about 30 mins from where my mom lives. I am still in the town where I go to school, which is about an hour from my mom.

We planned out what foods to make and i gave my mom a couple gluten recipes that I always made, like the rolls that my brother pretty much dies for lol...

but my mom still doesnt understand that I do not want and cannot be around when she is baking with flour. She agreed to prepare anything with gluten at her place before going to my brothers, that way it will already be done and in pans/trays to help prevent CC. I was planning on going to my brothers house tomarrow (day before thanksgiving) but am stopping at my moms since it is on the way.

Normally I would pick my mom up and we would go together, but since she is baking with flour I don't want to be there when she starts, so I am going to my brothers alone, which is also an empty house b/c it is for sale and he is currently living with his girlfriend. My mom can't make the gluten stuff any other day b/c of her work schedule. I am making a few gluten-free alternatives like stuffing for the turkey and a pumpkin pie, but my family just cannot live without the gluten stuff, and I dont expect them to give it up for me....I just feel so alone because it would be nice to spend more time with my mom who I rarely see....

I suppose I could hide myself in a separate room while she mixes flour, but thats just rediculous. I just feel like the whole situation is rediculous :lol: I'm not stressing out over it, but its just one of those little things that bug me.

I am happy to hear that your family works with you on this. My mom pretty much told me it is to much of a hassle for me to cook my steak there (not having turkey, have chicken all the time). Then she complains to me that the only people who are coming for dinner now is my bro and grandma. So I tell her again that I am pre cooking everything I have but my steak, she has to think about it. So I am staying home to eat then will go there later to visit.

I really do understand how you feel, this is my first gluten-free holiday. My family knows what I can and cannot eat, they just dont understand cc.

How long will you be alone? Can you do some cooking there while you are waiting? gluten-free food is just as good as gluten, just most people dont want to accept it. I have been inlcuding my roomie on gluten-free food and he loves it. He wants to go gluten-free on 1/1/09 for a better diet lol.

I hope you have a good holiday, wish the best to you =)

thanks. I'll be there for wednesday night into late thursday morning. I was planning on toasting gluten free bread for stuffing and making some other things.. dont know wat yet. It's just a bumber that I can't cook with my mom there. plus there is no internet/cable or phones out there since my brother had it all shut off. which isnt such a bad thing, I''ll just play music or something.

Holidays for me are about family, not food. But unfortunatley with my italian family, everything is about FOOD. :lol: Every social even t is around food and people take food to heart.

Maybe you could be in the kitchen with her if you wore a breathing mask and took a change of clothes? You know, like the masks you see people wearing to prevent infection sometimes. They sell paper masks like that at Home Deport and such places for painters to use when spray painting, and they aren't expensive. Hmmm, I can see you now, standing way over in a corner giving mom some pointers on how to make noodles right. :D Anyway, just a thought. Have a good Thanksgiving anyhow!

      is my celiac disease gone?

      I should point out that iodine is known to exasperate dermatitis herpetiformis blistering. It can take several months or even years of a strict gluten-free diet for the IgA-TG3 deposits to clear from the skin. After the skin completely heals, iodine may no longer trigger symptoms. "The circulating antibodies disappear and skin symptoms resolve as a result of gluten-free diet but the cutaneous anti-TG3 IgA deposits may persist for several years. " Missing Insight Into T and B Cell Responses in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      is my celiac disease gone?

      I get my supplements f from Pipingrock.com close to 10 years now. Good quality, prices, ship  worldwide.  My 25(OH)D is at 93 ng/ml after 10 years taking. In 2019 it had still only gotten to 47 ng/ml.  Celiac Disease causes low D from malabsorption. High Potency Vitamin D3, 10,000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels 4.8 out of 5 stars, average rating value. Read 1662 Reviews. Sale price$10.70 Regular price$21.39 Basil Carcinoma.  Basil cell carcinoma is the result of failure of the immune system to recognize fauty DNA in cells. It is iodine that causes apoptosis, killing old and defective cells.  Not enough vitamin D to control the immune system and not enough iodine to do the job.  I had a sebaceous cyst, my seventh facial cyst, in 2014.  It started looking like a blackhead, but grew (Third eye blind).  All my 7 previous cysts had drained and healed normally.  When I drained this, there was a hairball the size of a BB and it would not heal.  This was one of many reasons I started Gluten Free.  I chose to not have it surgically removed, because I realized I had nutrient deficiencies that were causing slow healing.  By 2015 I realized it was Iodine deficiency and started eating seaweed, which helped my muscle tone, but not the healing.  The warnings on iodine from the gov't were so scary, I was afraid to use them.  Turns out it is all based on one study on rats in 1948. "The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect:   Crying Wolf?"   Last year I started taking 600 mcg a day and it is reversing my glaucoma and fixing muscle tone, hair nails and skin all returning to healthy,  Brain fog, which had improved dramatically on Gluten Free diet, my thinking got even clearer with the iodine. Finally the cyst my bellwether since 2014, began to heal.  So I had it biopsied  in July 2025, came back basal cell carcinoma.  With the Iodine (Piping Rock Liquid Iodine 12 drops a day 😃 = 600 mcg) is healing normally and I have a follow up in December.  By then it will have healed.  It is scabbing over like a normal wound.  In 1970 the US stopped using Iodine as a dough modifier.  The daily intake of Iodine dropped in the US 50% between 1970 and 1984.  Also, prescriptions for thyroxine have doubled.  150 mcg the RDA is not enough for anything more than preventing goiter.  Growing up in the sixties just 2 slices of bread had 200 micrograms of iodine, add a glass of milk and iodized salt and you're at 300 mcg a day.  The safe upper tolerable limit in the US is 1000 mcg.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg and the average Japanese, traditional diet, averages above 1000 mcg.  Remember when in the 80's our schools were loosing competitions to Japanese schools?  Iodine.  And Japan has 50% less breast cancer.  Nicer hair nails and skin.  It the US our kids are getting dumber, more flabby.  Fertility is dependant on enough iodine, also. 600 mcg.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.
