ARCHIVED Positive ttg help
squirmingitch replied to Flowerpower135's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
There is such a thing as silent celiac where one has no symptoms yet they still get the gut damage & everything else that can go along with celiac. Testing for kids is funny though. I will let those more experienced in the nuances of testing kids answer more fully to you. However, with the low iron it sure is a celiac indicator. It really would help... -
It just takes time. You need to be patient. As you heal things will get better. it took me 3 years before I gained weight. Hang in there.

ARCHIVED Help with test results
squirmingitch replied to Rebekah3's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Here are some links for you & you could print these out & give them to your relatives so they will better understand celiac disease and why you must be so vigilant in your diet as well as why they need to be tested and what symptoms are associated with it. Also, there are silent celiacs who present with ZERO symptoms yet still have the disease &... -

squirmingitch replied to Rebekah3's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Learn to say no and push back. Celiac disease, left untreated, can indeed kill you. I know you want to be around for your 2 little boys so for their sakes, learn to say NO firmly. Also, I want to add to the info. of 1st degree relatives getting tested. Tested every 2 years ~~~ or sooner if symptoms present. Celiac can present anytime & that's why 1st... -

I tested using Chrome Version 45.0.2454.101 (64 bit) and there is no formatting issue presenting so it's only happening on Safari for me. -

ARCHIVED Beer Belly-is it also gluten belly?
squirmingitch replied to BarryC's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Very low gluten beer is NOT okay!!!!!! Why don't you just eat 1 saltine a day? Switch to a true gluten free beer. -

There is no "I am a little celiac" just like there is no "I'm a little bit pregnant" --- you are or you aren't and you ARE celiac. Here's a link to the Newbie 101 which will give you details on what you need to do to protect yourself & eat truly gluten free: You can't have a tiny crumb of gluten - not 1. -

Oh now there's something weird going on. Up at the top of the screen ~~~ see how the dark gray bar covers about 2/3 of the blue bar? -
GiGi, it doesn't really add up. See Bartful's comment above. If you add up the ppm of gluten for each thing then you also have to add the TOTAL of non gluten ppm of each item & in the end you STILL end up with say the 7 ppm for the whole day or the week or whatever. Example: If you add 1 drop of bleach to 100 drops of water & then do that to 10 containers...

Bartful has asked me to report that as of last night & continuing this morning she can't get on the site at all. She says, "It just comes up as “Not acceptable”. I know she's on windows & I believe it's Windows 10. -

I just posted a reply here & hit submit & got the 406 error again. Just when it looked like everything was fine & dandy. I cleared the cache & cookies & logged in again. -
Remember, the biopsy is taken NEXT to a lesion NOT on one.

ARCHIVED The next acceptance battle
squirmingitch replied to Galixie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Be sure to read the Newbie 101 in the Coping section. That will help you learn all the rules & navigate gluten-free as a permanent lifestyle. BTW, you can't be there when your friend who loves to bake is mixing up her creations. Flour all in the air for you to breathe. What goes in your nose goes down your throat to your tummy. -
Let him do a skin scraping. He should be able to look at it right then & there & you tell him to do it while you sit there in the exam room. Then when he comes back & says it is NOT scabies you tell him he IS now going to do a dh biopsy!!!! He works for you! Don't leave his office until you get what you want. Stand firm. Tell him you let him do...

Wait a minute. It did not post. I wrote something about now being able to drag files to the site which I am thrilled about and that post did not show so I was wrong in what I said in my last post above. This time I am waiting a few minutes to see if that makes a difference. -

Now this is odd. This last post I made & hit submit reply & then it took me back to that same page as the screenshot I posted the other day on the other thread. I assumed my post did not post as that is what had been happening but I see it in fact did actually post what i wrote. BUT I had to go back & empty caches & clear the cookies and then...
