New Year's Resolutions...

I've never been one for resolutions, I've never found them to work really well-but I guess resolving to lose 50# by February is just setting one up for disaster :rolleyes:

This year, however, I've come to the realization that I'm really not happy with who I am right now and there are a few things I need to fix, for myself, not for anyone else. BUT, instead of 1 life changing resolution that I can't live up to, I'm going to make a small resolution at the beginning of each month to focus on-small changes to hopefully equal a big overall change. I want to be the happy person I used to be and become a calmer, more easygoing person I've had difficulty with my entire life. I want to appreciate me for me and finally accept who I am-and I know that part of that is to be a healthier, more life-aware person.

So, for January my resolution will be:

1. Add 1 more veggie a day

2. Remember to take my mood vitamins- vit. D, calcium and magnesium

Rachelle, I really like your idea. I wish you all the luck in achieving your goal for 2009! :)

My New Years resolution is to accept more invitations and to have more fun.

When I got sick I withdrew from everything....mainly because I was just too sick to enjoy myself. I'm doing much better now but its still hard for me to throw caution to the wind and get out there and do things the way I would have prior to my illness.

For 2009 I want to make more effort to say YES when people invite me to go out. Its time to start having more fun. :)

Great idea, Rachelle. I never make resolutions either because I can never carry them through for the whole year. I like the idea of a monthly one. Hmm,

My January resolution will be to figure out how to balance family and work better. I work from home.

I still have 2 1/2 hours and I've just come up with another resolution. :)

I need to remind myself that its not in my best interest to be open about my experiences in the presence of close minded people. I need to remember that some people have alot of negative energy that they need to release and thats ok....some people hold onto things while others prefer to move on. I'm someone who doesnt like negative energy so my resolution is to ignore those types of people and to just say a silent prayer for them instead of getting dragged down by the negativity.

I think this resolution kind of goes with my previous resolution....which was to have more FUN! :D

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
