Watermelon

When I was a child I lived in Florida. We loved watermelons in the summertime! One day I decided (at about 7) that we dont get to buy it often enough so i decided to plant one of the watermelon seeds out of the last watermelon we were eating. I went out back, dug a hole and planted that little seed. Every morning i would wake up, look out that back window in anxious anticipation, and i expected i would see a watermelon grow over night.

Eventually I guess my mom felt bad for me because i woke up one morning. Walked to the back porch, looked out, there was a watermelon! Only it was not where i had planted my little seed lol! I figured that one out pretty quick (not because it grew overnight but because it was not in the right spot) but did not admit I knew she had placed it there. After all she was the one who taught me that if you do not believe in the toothfairy, you dont get money for you tooth so I acted as if I never knew just to keep those melons coming haha!

Reminds me of when I was a kid. I had heard the term "rock garden" and thought if I planted some pebbles they would grow into rocks. So I did, and my sister went out later and replaced these pebbles with bigger rocks. The next day I was so excited! "Mom! My rocks grew!!" Mom was in on the deception and told me to go water them some more. :lol: The next day they were bigger! It was about a week before they told me the truth, but as a four year old, I didn't believe them. I think I kept watering those rocks for half the summer.

Hehehe. When we look back on those things it just tickles us the simplicity of the way we viewed life. I wish I could see life that simply again.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
