I know it is anonymous, but if you could reply to me privately through a private message that would be great.

OA also has great phone meetings. If you have a long distance phone plan it cost you nothing to attend.

to find a meeting _Open Original Shared Link

I listen to the meeting and speakers that are free on i tunes pods casts. Often to help me deal with the thinking of why can"t I have that. Pulse I do have the desire to eat stuff that I know is bad for my health. I find the daily readings and books do apply a great deal for us. I know for me that gluten is like a drug in my system. Even though I ate it till I passed out, made my self ill or moody and ate it despite doctors warnings: there are still times that I want it. I still pause and fill with excitement when I catch a big whiff of somethings that I know will kill me. To me that is an addict.

The meetings may seem odd or annoying at times, I try to remember to take what i can use and leave the rest.

I would love to talk to other people that are both gluten free and in OA.

Yes it is Anonymous but there is not a single person that knows me that does not know that I have food issues.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. I have celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis. I'm also a member of OA. I'd be very happy to have support from other who deal with this disorder and use the OA program to help manuever through the food and emotional mazes. Any interest or know of others who may be interested? Thanks, Frieda

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
