I got my Celiac bracelets! They're green and pretty cool. I'm going to start passing them out today at school. Only giving em to people that'll wear them, but I already got about 6 people that say they will. :)

I didn't know they have a celiac disease awareness month! Well, there's our excuse to be chatty about it without feeling pushy.

You can also buy them from the University of Chicago or from Melonie (head of the yahoo group, Silly Yaks, that puts out the gluten-free restaurant list).

Most people seem to get them from the first one, though I've seen a few with the Chicago ones. The difference... Maryland ones are: Making Tracks for Celiacs and then on the other side it says CFCR (meaning center for celiac research). The chicago ones say Gluten-Free, or something to the point like that, as do Melonie's.

Thank you everyone for the info. I just emailed them. Have a nice Holiday.

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain.  That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      This is an older article, but still helpful:

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!
    • Scott Adams
      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.
