    and a leaky guy :lol: typos are fun

    Stephanie, I know this is just a typo, but I must be feeling silly today and found it amusing....hope you don't mind. I giggled, so thanks! Yes... and here is a link to Dr. Fasano discussing leaky gut, Zonulin and the use of probiotics to heal the gut. Open Original Shared Link and his article in Scientific American, if anyone feels like...

    Just my humble two cents....there are many people who feel that "healing a leaky gut" will allow a person with Celiac to consume gluten once more. You will read this many times on the internet or even on this site. However, the truth is there is no medical or scientific evidence (that I have found anyway) to support the assertion that people "outgrow...

    While I would not accept a wiki article as valid in a research paper from students, the articles FROM OTHER SOURCES that I provided for Heidi to read are reliable/valid and say the exact same thing. ALL OF THE facts in the summary have been cited and referenced and appear to be "legit". I just thought the brief history of how a DX of celiac...

    thanks for the giggle...you made my day!

    Whew--thanks for bringing this up. I dared not say anything since I was already placed in a position of defending myself. I could kick myself for trotting out the wiki article. (what WAS I thinking? ) I hope that by providing other sources that concur with the brief history of celiac that I have redeemed myself

    I suffered horrible burning sensations from scalp to toes. No one could tell me what it was. I was also red (like I had a sunburn and a constant histamine response) and had a burning face. (I was tested repeatedly, not lupus,MS etc.) I had several neurological issues as a result of gluten, but they are resolving. It was this burning that "got my...

    I look forward to reading your published studies/interviews someday! It will be interesting to read them. When you say that Celiac Disease has disappeared, do you mean they can consume gluten with no villous atrophy? This is AMAZING and you may want to write this up for the Celiac Sprue Foundation or GIG. I am serious. Send it to Dr. Fasano. These Celiac...

    Wow... hold on everyone. Please. Excuse me please, but I was congratulating this young gal for attending medical school. That's all I said!! I think it's GREAT! The question was not at all meant to be intrusive. It was conversational. Wow... I am being totally misunderstood here. Before you all get in my face about using wikipedia...

    ooooh....c'mon now, you're making me blush (that's not something I readily do...) I humbly appreciate your kind words.... cheers, IH

    You're in medical school. That's great--congratulations! What school do you attend? Just to clarify: Would you kindly tell us where you found this documented medical research that states "Celiac Disease can "go away" in children when they hit adult years." While Celiac can go into remission (many of us are proof of that) it does not "go...

    Babs, My very "celiac-savvy" NEW GI doc has suggested I swtich up probiotics from time to time to get the proper range of strains. He had me add a simple, OTC one called CULTURELLE that has lactobacillus GG---this strain is key, he claims. Whatever it is, it has made me (mom and hubby, too) right as rain!! Hope your trip to Greece was fab!! Gosh,...

    Ada, wow, you made my day, my week, hell, my month!...thanks, what an incredibly sweet thing to say. Just what I needed to hear today.
  15. IrishHeart
    Depends. Would he do it just to piss you off? (if so, boo on him.) If he really made a mistake, then, just let it go. Life's too short to get all huffy about dinner. When he says "there's no pleasin you" though, he's just looking for a fight. Just ignore. Now, you still have nothing to eat for dinner. But really, my hubs knows how to read...

    I second Ravenwood wholeheartedly...Get plain old clay litter and feed any of your pets gluten-free foods. (we use Merrick brand) We are lucky--our kitties prefer to "go" outside. Everyone benefits...since we switched, my cat's coat is gorgeous. Now, if MY hair would grow back in as nicely, I'll be a purrfectly happy girl.

    then, I am 22

    but "shroomie"...in my mind, from the way you talk, you're so young!! As I say, it's not the years, it's the mileage.... Sylvia posted a link to this article on another thread...you know how doctors say "older people" are never DXed with this? They are so clueless.....maybe some of you would like to read it. Article in Living Without Magazine...

    I can only imagine that dealing with feeding a family can be extra maddening and arguing with a GE (gluten eating) spouse over it just causes stress that you do not need. Here's something you may want to try: DO NOT ask WHAT HE WANTS. He answered you honestly, even though it is insensitive and made you upset. He is probably just irritated at the lack...

    Love your 12 "steps"! perfect!! I'm one of the "over 40s" (doctors who think celiac is never DXed in older people need to be schooled! ) I had symptoms and complications from gluten all of my life. So much sadness and pain, and yet, I never put it all together until I learned about celiac. Finally DXed at nearly 54 but only because I FIGURED IT OUT...

    I like your "kitty in the sink" pic too - is she your cat?

  22. IrishHeart
    Amen to that! Facebook--geesh, don't get me started on that....but really, that is NOT the arena to post your health concerns. Do it here. We. Get. It. And I agree with you, sandsurfgirl---as much as I hate using the "allergy" word , it does work best for the uneducated. Are you feeling any better today, Suzanna???
  23. IrishHeart

    Hi, thanks for noticing my new pic. She's a great little buddy, that cat! I notice we share a birthday coming up.

  24. IrishHeart
    Glad it brought you some giggles.
  25. IrishHeart
    :lol: aw, shucks....thanks....
