ARCHIVED Sharing A Tiny Apartment With Gluten
GottaSki replied to EmiPark210's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Silicone washes great...and I may catch it for saying this...but I boiled my wooden stuff -- I've had it for years and had grown quite fond of it. Never had any problems -- but I cleaned and kept much more than some folks. -
ARCHIVED May Is Celiac Disease Awareness Month - Get Your Fb Banner Here! :)
GottaSki replied to GFinDC's topic in Publications & Publicity
Very cool...thanks Paul...I emailed her and asked if she could add one more: "Our Familiy is Gluten Free" "because we have to be" she asked for suggestions for other banners...I'll use either that or the one you show the entire month of May -
ARCHIVED Gluten On Dishes? Being Too Careful?
GottaSki replied to Laura.'s topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We evolved into a completely gluten-free kitchen -- during the transition we had separate cookware and utensils for things that touched gluten -- some have separate cookware and utensils for the gluten-free items -- either way is good. Again, for me -- plates and utensils become clean with washing and I never worried about them. I found the advice offered... -

ARCHIVED I Believe This Guy... Gluten Free May Not Be Enough
GottaSki replied to quirozson's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Just an aside...breath testing is not very accurate in diagnosing SIBO and often it take many courses of antibiotic to remedy SIBO -- of course this could be because some are being treated with antibiotics for SIBO based on symptoms rather than a positive breath test. -
ARCHIVED I Believe This Guy... Gluten Free May Not Be Enough
GottaSki replied to quirozson's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hello Again Q! The SCD and Paleo or Primal are often of great benefit to those of us with Celiac Disease, but I do agree to give the strict removal of gluten a good go of it before removing other foods -- by removing only gluten or gluten and dairy -- for say 3-6 months you may find that is enough -- after those first months if you are not improving ... -
ARCHIVED Confusing Dgp Tests
GottaSki replied to Oceanlvrs5's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome - that your DGP continued to increase indicates there is still gluten being consumed - unfortunately gluten free items served in most restaurants only mean there is not gluten in the ingredients used - gluten is still in the kitchens and unless they have a strict gluten free preparation policy - there is gluten in their food. Additionally - if you... -
Welcome! Not only do I no longer get recurring ear infections - my hearing in my once nearly deaf problematic ear has improved since about a year or so gluten-free. It tested recently at only 20% loss - at celiac dx it was 75-80% loss of hearing. I did have one nasty ear infection a few months ago but it resolved without antibiotic - in my 30s I...

ARCHIVED 9 Months Gluten-Free, Felt Better But It Is Getting Worse Again. Help?
GottaSki replied to JamieRmusic's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Welcome Jamie!!! You are not stupid, a wuss or being lazy -- you are actively eating good food to heal your damaged digestive system. I too had some improvement during my first months gluten-free -- unfortunately I had to remove much more than gluten to encourage healing in my body. Are you keeping a food/symptom journal -- it is the first and... -

ARCHIVED Thoughts For Boston 4-15-2013
GottaSki replied to Lisa's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Homegrown for the past ten years Stay safe Boston! We all know how strong you are. Our family stands with you. For me....Oklahoma, Columbine, 911 combined to make me very fearful for about two years while my children were quite young...fearful of the world we were leaving my babies -- those babies are now 18 and 19 years old -- they have grown... -
Yep...been there...heard that until I made it to Celiac specialist -- sad that primaries along with many gastros are still operating off -- three symptoms of celiac disease: childhood, short stature and the big D --- there are 100 times as many symptoms associated -- educate them with printed info from the University of Chicago.

ARCHIVED Finally Got Into Rheumatology Triage
GottaSki replied to nvsmom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
RA, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Sjogren's, Celiac Disease -- suspect Connective Tissue as a bonus. We believe long undx'd celiac played a big part in all. So glad you have docs listening -- work with them - and in some cases teach them -- yep, we can make a difference. -

ARCHIVED Finally Got Into Rheumatology Triage
GottaSki replied to nvsmom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thankfully...things are improving -- if only slowly -- my daughter recently made it into a specialized Lupus program at UCSF -- those appts have been very fruitful -- and get this -- they listen to my opinion regarding the possibility of her five AIs having a direct relationship to undx'd celiac disease. Yep...crazy...yet...true. -
ARCHIVED Finally Got Into Rheumatology Triage
GottaSki replied to nvsmom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Oh my goodness...I am so happy for you!!! My experience with Rhuemy sucked because I had not yet been dx'd celiac and all my inflammation blood was "normal" soooo...of course I heard what I had heard many different versions of many times before from different specialties...but this time that I write of was -- the Chief of Rhuematology at UCSD: "I... -
