A picture is worth a thousand words, right!  The first picture is after 30+ years of celiac symptoms.  The second picture is me a few days back.  I am 2+ years gluten free and moving towards better health even still!

                                                             ">http://Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link Well I didn't want my pictures this big, but having spent way too long at this and done my best.  I have to leave it here hoping I got it good enough.  At least it isn't tiny.  Please post your pictures.  If you don't understand how to do it.  I have to say, I am not sure.  I ended up using Firefox rather than Google, but I don't know if that is the key to it.

Rather thank linking to a personal page outside this forum, just put the images in your post using the Image icon, as linking to a personal site is not allowed in posts.

I guess the admin removed the link, because I see no link or pictures.

Here is a picture of me after my oldest daughter was born. You can see the general lack of well being, especially in my face.

Wow!  Blessed Mommy, look around the eyes, look at the face color change, and until I looked at the smile, I didn't think these were the same person!

      Duodenum biopsy result confusion

      By jamiet06 · Posted

      Hello, I hope I am posting this in the correct space, so apologies if not! After my last two endoscopies (2019 and 2024), I received the following comment in my report: Duodenal biopsy: Duodenal mucosa with mild intra-epithelial lymphocytosis in the presence of normal villous architecture. Comment: Findings are non-specific. They can be seen in coeliac disease, peptic or medication induced injury and H.pylori infection among others. Correlation with clinical findings and results of serological studies is recommended. I didn't have an ulcer and crohns disease was not mentioned to me. For the past few years I have had on and off digestive issues (gas, mild diarrhea, lower abdominal...

      My kids take Whole Earth & Sea Kid’s Multivitamin as per our naturopath’s recommendation. They’re chewable but can be crushed and added to juice or food. No gums or citric acid. GMO free and gluten free too.

      DR1-DQ5 neurological symptoms

      By Murilo P · Posted

      It has been a while and I would like to post an update. The hallucinations are completely gone. Thanks to one bottle of B1 as benfotiamine and one of B3 as niacin, both taken together. I will buy more. The other symptoms are still being treated. Now I can already affirm that the symptoms are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yet I do have hopes that we will achieve the remission of BPD symptoms over the next couple of years. I think her issues come from this chain of events: Nutritional deficiencies at birth, due to being twin and having low birth weight. Low levels of Omega-3 during pregnancy and first years resulting in weak HPA axis development (predisposition for BPD). Consumption...

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi, My six year old has been complaining of tingling in the legs off late. This used to be pretty common thing with her pre-diagnosis and a couple of weeks after the diagnosis as well. And now it is back again. I am not sure if it's a glutening symptom, or she could be deficient in something. I got her Pure Encapsulations' multivitamin capsule, which she is ok taking, but she began reacting to cellulose in the capsule. I don't know if I can just break the capsule and she could drink it in a smoothie. I haven't tried that yet, so do not know whether it'll be palatable to her.  If any of you know of a CGF multivitamin that do not contain any gums and are preferably free of citric acid, I'd greatly...

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.
