Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to say that I appreciate you all very much. I had a rough night out at a great restaurant--the food and service were perfect, but one of my girlfriends questioned whether or not Celiac is an actual disease...oh boy!

I'm thinking of all of you--each one of us has far too many similar stories to this. Someday Celiac will be widely understood and accepted.

Until then, thank you all for being so supportive, helpful, and just plain wonderful!

Have a great night!

Got that freinds email address? If you do maybe send her some links from the NIH or other reputable sites about the disease. Hopefully you didn't let that person ruin the event for you. At least the food and service were good and you know you can safely go back and have a good meal but perhaps without that 'freind'.

That's like the argument that 'surely a little bit won't hurt you once in a while'. Ugggggg.

Thanks so much! I have to say I was a bit passive-aggressive on facebook today (I know she's on it constantly...). Here is my post:

I've been asked lots of Celiac questions recently and my actions to protect myself and my family have been called in to question as well. I am lucky enough to have the excellent care of Dr. Gregory Harmon and Nancee Jaffe from UCLA, my kids see Dr. Michelle Pietzak at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. These individuals are on the forefront of Celiac care and research. I wish everyone had access to such excellent healthcare, advice, and compassion.

I should have added: and the constant guidance and support from the wonderful people on the Celiac.com forum.

You are fortunate indeed to have Dr. Harmon - he diagnosed me at UCSD and I miss him very much!

Glad you found a safe restaurant - don't let the ignorant get you down.

I love your fb post - I hope your friend sees it and spends a little time educating herself - one person at a time - we will change the tide.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      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 inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      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!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
