Well I spent the night at my sister's to see my parents who are visiting from out of town. I was worried about CC in her kitchen or someone's feelings getting hurt if I made a request, but my family was so awesome and supportive! :D

They made sure they did every little thing per my instructions and asked lots of questions to make sure they got it right. Despite using my sister's cookware and my dad leaving toast crumbs all over the kitchen, I did not get sick! I had been so nervous going over there but everything went much better than I expected.

We're supposed to go back tomorrow. I bought gluten-free ingredients to make a gluten-free cake for my son so I could eat some too, but now I have the flu and don't have the energy to bake. We'll just have to buy a regular one and I'll bake his gluten-free cake next week. I know he won't mind. I'm gargling like crazy and putting H2O2 in my ears regularly to try and kill this thing. The last thing I want is to miss my son's birthday party tomorrow! First it was the snow, now this. I really wanted to see my parents for more than one day before they leave, and I'm really sad! :(

That's wonderful! Wish my family was half as supportive.

I am mounting an assault and gaining troops so to speak in this behalf since many in my family has this same condition. It just takes a lot of finegaling meanwhile for them to get it and be convinced its worthwhile and necessary.

Meanwhile....I am hoping your gargle doesn't have (grain based) alcohol in it. You are just using salt water, right? Various anti catahral herbs (not tinctures) can also help as well as the usual chicken soup with lots of onions, garlic and cooked veggies...

The gargle was just salt water. And I used hydrogen peroxide once (diluted, of course.)

The belated xmas dinner was fabulous last night! It was 100% gluten free. I must have my family under some spell because they forgot to buy rolls! haha We even had gluten-free gravy. My brother-in-law-to-be did an amazing job with the potato starch!! I haven't had gravy in almost a decade!

I was too sick to bake a gluten-free cake, so we bought him one at the store and I had some soy egg nog for desert. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. I got to pig out on Lay's potato chips all day, and my sister and I baked sweet potato & beet chips in the oven. I think maybe I got a tiny bit of residue off her baking sheets because I forgot to ask her to line them with foil, but I didn't actually get really sick...the beets are just passing through a little faster than they should be. I can't say it was for her lack of trying to be gluten-free, though! totally my fault.

I think after this I won't feel so nervous eating at other peoples' houses. It is actually possible. :)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
