What To Do For My gluten-free Anniversary?

I cannot believe it has almost been 1 year that I have been gluten-free! In some ways it seems like years, in other ways it seems like yesterday.

I remember coming here constantly when I was first diagnosed and how wonderful everyone has been and continue to be on my journey. I remember reading other people who passed this milestone and never thought I would make it.

It has been an interesting and good year, and I could never have done it without everyone's help and advice.

So, now..what do I do to celebrate? Make myself a big gluten-free cake? Go out for a good gluten-free meal? I definitely want to do something to celebrate this occasion.

Thanks!!

If it were me, I would celebrate by going out to sushi. But I'll take ANY excuse I can get to go out for sushi.

Other alternatives - find a gluten-free bakery (I know others here have posted about ones in Chicago) and buy yourself a gluten-free cake (no work involved!).

You are right, i shouldn't do any work, for once. I love Swirlz cupcakes here in Chicago. Their gluten-free cupcakes are so delicious!!! though sushi sounds like a great idea and there is a place I have been wanting to try. Thanks for the idea!!

Sometimes I have a gluten free dinner for friends on my anniversary. Sometimes I just make myself a gluten-free cake that I bring to work to share. Congrats on one year!

Chicago...go to DaLuciano's if you like Italian. There menu looks amazing! And with 4 Celiac kids in the family you have to think they "get" gluten free!

We made a huge fuss with the 1st anniversary. I decorated the house with balloons and had my son's tTg number plastered everywhere (he was down from 100 to 2.8). We had his grandparents over for dinner and cake. Heck yeah you celebrate! Having Celiac disease means a lot of sacrifice and hard work. Compare that to say a birthday - what did you have to do for that big honor? Nadda!

Anne, there are so many things to celebrate.

You know what was causing your problems, and are now in control of your life.

You have a loving family who must be happy to see you better.

With some work, you can live a normal life and not be sick all the time.

I don't know Chicago well, although I have deep roots there (my parents met as graduate students at UC and were married there in 1952). So, I can't suggest a place for dinner out, but find a place and celebrate with your family.

:)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
