I'm new to this forum and have benefited from it more than I can say. I was very fortunate and found someone who not only lives close by but shares my interests. I just moved here from another state and I would like to get together. I'm not big on my personal information being out there on the Internet but I would like to be able to email her from home in case she's not online. Is this allowed? If so, how do I go about it. Would emailing her on her page be private enough?

Thanks for everything you are doing here. Finding this forum couldn't have come at a better time. I'm in the midst of a flare and I've already learned so much and gotten so much support from the other members.

Loey

P.S. Why do some threads list me a a new community member and others as an advanced one?

Loey:

You can click on that person's name and it will take you to their profile. There you will see options to send a personal message that is private between the two of you.

Members status is based on the number of posts that are made.

Personally I've given my email addy to a couple of forum members. You can get a feel from the posts they've made. Life is full of taking chances...heck, as celiacs every time we put something in our mouths, we take chances. If I found someone who lived closed to me with shared interests, I'd go for it...that does not mean that I indiscriminately give out personal info.

Another thing you can do is set up an email for solely people from this site, (or any other site you join) and that can be listed for people to send you things. This is what I do for this and another forum I am a part of.

But personally, I like Private Messaging people, quick and easy, and I can do it while I am signed on and I don't have to look at two different screens while doin so.

Thank you for the helpful advice. I wasn't sure how you went about setting it up. I've made contact and am looking forward to meeting someone who lives here. She's offered to take me to the Support Group when it resumes it's meetings.

I agree with you that we take a chance every time we put something into our mouths. As a newcomer to this disease I'm still trying to find my triggers and I think I'm going to just stick to rice, protein and fresh vegetables and see how that goes. I'm in the middle of a terrible flare and am in pain constantly. I'm waiting to hear if my insurance company approved my capsule endoscopy for Monday. Before I moved my GI made all of my testing a priority because I was bedridden for 6 weeks and needed to have results to bring with me. Initially I was feeling better but feel like I'm back at square one. My new GI says that I must be eating something that has gluten in it but I've been extremely careful. I'm planning on eliminating dairy for now as well. I just want to feel better.

You've answered my posts before and I really appreciate the support I've gotten from you and everyone else here. Hopefully I'll be able to help others.

Dairy yes...it can mimic the gluten effect. And try to keep a food diary. It can help you pinpoint an issue.

You're welcome, Loey! That's what makes this forum so great! Very helpful people here, some of whom have been gluten free for years and they know a whole lot more than I do. I don't know of any local support groups around here...I'm sure you'll meet a lot of nice people and learn a lot.

I think Lisa has a great idea...keep a food diary. I never did and sometimes it's really hard to pinpoint what's bothering us. If you were bedridden for six weeks at diagnosis, no doubt in my mind that you were terribly ill and dairy should be given up and eat really clean by eliminating processed foods. Also, in my mind you might want to pretty well give up eating out for awhile as the risk of cross contamination is so great. You might also have other intolerances that you don't even know about yet.

We have to remember that we didn't get this way over night and it's just going to take time to heal. Easier said than done as we all want instant results. I hope your insurance company approves the capsule endoscopy for you!

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
