Hello :) I just put together a little 4 page info packet that I'm going to send to relatives. Please email me if you would be willing to look it over. I'd love to have some thoughts on it by people who know the disease intimately ;)

Thanks! :)

Yes...I got it in e-mail so I removed my address from an above post--if anyone wants it, just PM, but having it posted makes it an easy target for spammers...good point ;)

Thanks celiac3270! You might notice that I had cut & paste a little incorrectly so some of the info is in the wrong spot - but it's all there. (And I've fixed it!) ;)

Thanks to everyone who's private messaging me!

Thanks for sharing. I have looked at your notes and as far as I know they are entirely correct. The stuff about asymptomatic or "silent" celiac disease is especially important for relatives of a person with celiac disease.

Something I would add would be that celiacs must ALWAYS read the ingredients on any prepared food. Friends and family need to keep the package for reference if they are hosting an event with food. Some things are obviously safe, such as plain vegetables and fruit, but dips, sauces, dressings and so forth need scrutiny.

Anyone is welcome to a copy. Please email me if you'd like one.

Another thing that I think will be enormously helpful is a letter that my doctor wrote that I'm including with the info. It says:

To the family Members of Michelle Larsen:

Michelle was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease, a genetic disorder with a number of long term complications if not detected and treated early. I strongly advise Michelle's first and second degree relatives to undergo screening for Celiac Disease. This screening typically involves a blood test called tissue transglutaminase IgA, or t-TG, and can be performed by any primary care provider.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Martin, RN, FNP-C

In fact, my dad's doctor (who is an absolute moron and told me that my dad didn't need to be tested because "Celiac isn't hereditary") actually ordered this test after my mom handing him this letter. Yay!! And because he had this letter, he actually ordered the right test! I'm sure he wouldn't have done so otherwise because he is a total LOSER! :angry:

But, now we are awaiting the results and hopefully my dad's life will change for the better :) Wahoo!!

Anyway - email me if you want a copy of my info packet. Right now it's at 7 pages but I think I'll only be sending the first four. I don't want to overwhelm them! Or -worse- have them say, "Oh, this is too much.. I'll look at it later." (Then never look at it!)

You guys rule!!!!! I am so glad I'm in this forum :)

      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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
