Add me to the hug list, Icelandgirl! But when I read what you said about your mother, it might help to remember that many times, health issues can be familial. Cysts seem to be one of those things. I know mothers and daughters that have had cyst problems but they were never cancerous. Just pesky cysts. So, if your mother has had this experience and everything was fine every time, dwell on that because it just might be you are like her and everything will BE FINE! I know you will be really worried because so wouldn't anyone else but concentrate on the positive, if you can!

I will now turn on my positive and healing thoughts beam to you and await that type of result on Monday.

Thanks so much for the hug Gemini. I've cried so much since yesterday that my eyes hurt. I really feel paralyzed with fear. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the next few days. I don't think we'll have results until Thursday. And if they're bad how I'll get through that. I'd love to think that I'm like my mom, but she always had really dense breasts which is what led to biopsies. I on the other hand do not have particularly dense breasts but have an area of increased density on one breast over previous years. I'm so scared.

We called it the hurry up and wait process...every step seemed like we had to wait just another ten days. I don't think you'll have to wait more than a few days for this one. I hope not.

Hugs.

Thanks as always for the hugs and support, Lisa. I really need it. Struggling with emotions and fear. Ugh.

Great News!

 

I don't wish you another scare, but as with your Mom...this may not be the last lump or bump that needs to be investigated.  The first one was really scary for my sis and others I know with this issue... now it's.....oh well, another lump.  Just always investigate them!

 

Thanks for sharing the good report :)

I know how you feel.  Years ago, pre-celiac diagnosis, I kept getting canker sores, which is common for celiac people.  I also have Sjogren's so that may have contributed to the problem also.  Well....I had one that was not healing and I am usually a fast healer.  My dentist freaked out at about the 3 month mark and sent me to an oral surgeon because, of course, they wanted to biopsy it for cancer.  I was a nervous wreck, to put it mildly.  I had to wait about a week to get in on such short term notice and this oral surgeon ended up not doing a biopsy because he insisted it was not cancer.  He called it something else and said he saw this type of thing from time to time and it was never cancer.  The relief I felt......well, you know!  Turns out, I still had a lot of trouble with canker sores until I was diagnosed with celiac.  After about 3 months, I never, ever got another canker sore again.

And to think so many doctors blame them on a "virus".

 

Go ahead...have a little red wine tonight to celebrate!!!!!  Just a little....... :)

Do you think celiac causes or contributes to abnormal growths?  Whether it's canker sores or like what I've had this year uterine polyps, gallbladder polyps, etc.  Just wondering.

 

I will celebrate for sure!

I think it could and the reason could just be out of control inflammation.  Canker sores would be more obvious because your mouth is the start of the digestive tract.  But most illnesses start with inflammation so there could be a possiblity of it causing many other things.  I doubt there would be any studies done on it, though.  There is no money in Celiac Disease for doctors so we don't get much attention as far as research goes......only to come up with a stupid pill so people won't have to follow the diet.  I'd rather them study the link between associated conditions and a cure for those!  Sjogren's Syndrome can be a b%$@#......I would love it if I had normal moisture in my eyes and mouth.  :(

You don't appreciate these things until you lose them.......

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
