I'm doing the one in B-more too! I'm team Celiac4Life (which currently only consists of myself and my Mother haha). I was actually going to post on here to see if anyone would like to (pretty please) sponsor me.

I have a bone to pick with the quiz on your website, Lauren. One of the questions is true or false: you have to have an intestinal biopsy to confirm diagnosis of celiac disease. The answer is FALSE!! The biopsy is the gold standard, but it is not the only way to diagnose celiac, nor is it required for confirmation.

Corrine, unfortunately I just saw on the site that it has been postponed until 2007. I guess that gives me time to get in shape for it. I am glad it made your daughter happy. They don't have a big selection but they had somethings and it was good.

Sorry, but that's not really "my" site - ie I didn't write that. That's the generic webpage for people who are participating in the walk, and I just added my name and a couple personal touches. I couldn't change everything though. Sorry for the confusion.

I wondered why you would put that answer! Thanks for the link, I can't do the walk, but I do want to sponsor someone. Now I just have to get my husband to say OK! (It's his money I'll be using, so I think I should clear it with him, first! :D )

hehe, yes I know better than to put that answer! I wonder who made the quiz? I actually haven't looked at it, I hope it doesn't have any other inaccuracies!

And thank you!

      Muscle Twitching

      By Yaya · Posted

      Kitty, Be careful with massive transfusions of D, it's dangerous per my cardiologist.  Your note made me confirm and he's right.  I found this article called:  Too much vitamin D may harm bones, not help - Harvard Health The study was released on Dec 1, 2019 · and appeared in the Aug. 27 issue of JAMA which found that, compared with people who took moderate amounts of vitamin D, adults who took large amounts daily not only didn't see additional gains in bone density, but in some cases ended up worse off.  I especially must be careful because, like many Celiacs, I have low bone density.  I have been taking Prolia shots for about 5 years.   Also there is such a thing as vitamin D toxicity per my cardiologist.  That's why he carefully monitors my #s and wants me to raise levels slowly.   Take care.

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
