After my EGD today I've been a little disappointed. I thought I was doing good. Anyway, my husband is wanting to plan another weekend trip over the mountain, through the woods to grandma's house. I did not have a good visit last time as I did not feel well. I told hubby that next time I was bringing/making all of my food, and figured mil would get offended, but couln't chance it. Well I talked to her tonight and told her in leiu of everything, not to try and accomidate me that I would take care of myself. She was actually very happy :rolleyes: I told her I would clean off part of the counter and feed myself. When I am at my parents my mom lets me clean the kitchen and do all of the cooking. What a good mom! :wub: Plus she enjoys being taken care of for the week. So this is a huge weight lifted for me, because I did not want another stressed visit.

Good for YOU! Sometimes just speaking up for yourself really is all that it takes!

I think she was as relieved as I was. I guess I shouldn't assume things. I've always tried to stay clear of confrontation with her cause it can get uncomfortable. But I think next visit will be much better.

Lucky you. On Easter I ate ham with nothing else. Couldn't even eat the potatos au graten. I wish I could just do the cooking. <_<

Hi,

I'm so proud of you for taking care of your own health first. After being on this diet for several years, I can honestly say that taking our own food along is really the only way we can be sure that we will be safe. I noticed last week as I tried to explain to a friend that I would bring my own lunch when I come to her house next week for a group luncheon, that she was highly resistant, until I just kept pressing the point that these food intolerances are serious. Up to then she apparently hadn't even known I had food intolerances, but now she does, and I will tell her more as time goes by, even though I've known her for years and years. It takes patience, persistence, and the belief that we are worth the fight that it takes to convince people that our own health must come before anything else if we are to truly survive and thrive. Good work! Welda

Well, it's that time again for another trip to the inlaws. Last one didn't go as planned. Anyway, now with me being extra careful, I absoulutely told her I wouldn't eat anything! She obviously doen't understand what that means because she kept asking my husband for a week straight if I could eat this or that! :blink: He finaly said to her to shut up about it that she is not going to eat anything but what she makes because it is easier that way! I am planning on taking my new electric skillet to cook in and get a bunch of produce from the store when we get there. I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself! :lol: Hubby and I were talking about how she would deal with it if it were our kids. He and I both said that she would have to get over it if she wanted to see them.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.

      Help!  My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac.  Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls.  I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase.  Have they been discontinued??  Does anyone have another recommendation for a gluten-free/DF tootsie roll option?

      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others   thanks again for all the great info
