I just learned that my friend lost his fiancee. She passed 5 days after the long awaited birth of their first child. I can only imagine the pain he must be feeling right now. His name is Dan and if you all could pray for him to find the strength he needs get through this tragedy it would be appretiated.

Oh, how sad. :( What happened? Is the baby okay?

Prayers sent for Dan, his family, and friends.

Dan has my prayers, too. It's that much more difficult to deal with losses when they happen in holiday times....with the yearly reminders. Hope he's surrounded by loving family and friends!

I'm so sorry, Ravenwood. I will keep Dan in my thoughts and prayers in the difficult days he has ahead of him.

I hope that Dan finds comfort through the love and support of those around him. And strength for those who hold him up.

The baby boy is doing well from what I was told. Fortunately he has a supportive family. He is such a sweet and kind person that he has a large circle of friends. She had been home from the hospital and seemed to be doing well. It was extremely sudden and unexpected.

Thank you all for your prayers.

Add my prayers and wishes that the baby will lighten Dan's load and he will find the peace he needs.

That is SO heartbreaking. I pray that Dan and his beautiful new son will eventually find peace and acceptance. I know it will take a lot of soul-searching.

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
