Proud Of My 9 Year-Old!

My daughters have been gluten free for just ten days.There has certainly been moaning, groaning, and mock cries of "Waaahhhh... no more doughnuts!" but for the most part, they are troopers.

Today the 9 y.o. came home from school and told me that she and her friend Allie, who sit next to each other, are in the habit of sharing a bit of their desserts with each other. (it's a small private school and they bring lunchboxes and eat at their desks.) She handed Allie a hunk of her homemade gluten-free macaroon ("yum" said Allie) and Allie handed DD a hunk of her cookie. DD put it down, intending to eat it in a minute, then said, "Hey! Are you trying to poison me?" :) She was pretty proud of herself that she remembered and resisted.

This from the girl who told me she was going to run away when we went gluten free. I mean, she was kidding, but sort of not...?

I'm also loving that my 16 y.o.'s boyfriend and his family have been very sweet and supportive. He's a nice, respectful kid, and is educating himself about it. His mom, who thinks my daughter is the bee's knees, has already called me to ask what is safe and what is not, and is stocking up on safe foods for DD to eat while over at their house.

Now if only I could get my own family interested, and get them to get tested!

Sounds like your daughter is understanding the gluten thing pretty well? That must make you feel good?

It's so nice that your other daughter has come across such nice, accomodating people too?

      Thank you.  I’ll be sure to look into those.

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce...

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
