Okay, so I'm new to this forum, and I've found it super helpful. I've been gluten free for 6 months now, and dairy free for three years.

Anyways, while reading through this site, I almost need a translator! Here are some things I have come across..

g.f. which I assume means Gluten Free

CC..cross contamination?

D

DD

DH

...

others?

Ex: "There was some cc and now I'm feeling serious D" or "my dd was glutened"

Want to let me in the loops so I know what i'm reading? Thanks a bunch.. ;)

D = diarrhea

C = constipation

cc = cross-contamination or cross-contact

DD = Dear Daughter

DS = Dear Son

DW = Dear Wife

DH could have the usual chat meaning of Dear Husband, or here it could mean Dermatitis Herpetiformis

g.f. is gluten-free, if you type it without the periods it will change automatically (not a good thing if you meant girlfriend)

c.d. is celiac disease, if you type it without the periods it will change automatically (this can cause confusion if you meant a Compact Disc) :lol:

A couple more that come up often refer to stores:

TJ = Trader Joe's

WF = Whole Foods Market

And don't forget ED (explosive diarrhea, not the other meaning :lol:)

BIL and SIL and MIL --brother, sister and mother-in-law

And then there's the really medical ones -- SLE (lupus); EE (eosinophilic esophagitis), etc. You are probably going to just have to google these ones like a lot of us do :D

Funny I always wondered also and sorta just figured out by the context around it. Didn't know the actual words the abbreviations were for though. :lol:

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Potential celiac need advice

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.
