Cd's Over 50yrs.

I would like to talk to someone my age or around. I am a little frustrated with the message board. I have asked many question and few were answered. Also, I have learned alot just monitoring the sight. That has been invaluable. Seems to be all good people with a common interest.

I would like to correspond with someone (THROUGH E-MAIL) on a one-to-one basis. I think that that would be very helpful to me and vise-versa. If anyone would be willing to correspond to me on that basis, would be wonderful.

I am 50yrs old, have two daughters 21 and 24. Eastern European decent. My youngest has digestive issues that may be related to Celiac.

If anyone has the time and willingness to be a "pen-pal" regarding Celiac, please contact my e-mail address, as registered on the members list, please contact me.

Thank you for your time and hope to hear from some of you. -- Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I'm not over 50, so don't meet your qualifications :) but if you are looking for more one-on-one stuff, you may want to investigate local celiac groups. The folks affiliated with them are generally very helpful, especially for local info, and will talk with you on the phone and answer any questions you have. At least, that has been my experience.

As for posting online, it does take a while to get the hang of. It helps to be very specific in your subject line, and also ask a clear question in the text, so that people have something specific to respond to, and know if they have anything valuable to offer.

Best wishes,

Merika

Hi LIsa, I sm Way over 50 but would be happy to correspond with you. I have multiple problems, such as chronic fatigue and severe allergies. Also 40 years of trying to get medical help along with homeopathic procedures has given me many experiences but no cure.

Chroic :blink:

I get mixed up with this message board. I think I have posted twice. I've also learned alot just reading the threads.

Hi Lisa,

I will be glad to chat and email with you. I am 55 and have one daughter who married this year and I have my first grandson on the way. :lol:

I believe I have been celiac for years (my entire life probably?). My Mother was celiac, and I just did not want to admit that I was as well. Just in denial and so depressed all those years!

So now I have gone Gluten free. Just one week now.

I will email you soon,

Ellyn

Saw your response and had to :lol: I do have been struggling for a long time - about 30 + years to get to the cause of multiple health issues. It took 10 years just to find out that I had Type II, Delayed Food Reactions - to a very lenthy list of foods. Though that helped I still had a long way to go. Right now I am only semi-diagnosed - have a serious neurologival disorder that may or may not be primary. I think not. I think when all is said and done it will secondary to Celiac. My fatigue level grew more and more intolerable over the past two years. Recently I added CoQ10 to my supplement list. After just about two months I can say there is a noticeable improvement. I won't run any races but the energy level has definitely improved. You might want to try it. Give it at least two months trial - anything less wouldn't be a fair test for the product. Claire :)

      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 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?

      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 Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      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 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.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
