I love the way you two(Carla & Morgan) communicate through this board!!! :lol::lol:

Maybe I should get on MSN Messenger so I could have the odd conversation with my 17 yr old son!!

Love the abbreviation of 'Mo' too.

My Mum gets called that but her full names Maureen.

Hope everyone in R/ville is well??

Bye for now.... :D:D

Carrie,

Rachelville is our utopian village town that some of us have created to get away from the burdens of the real world.....no cc, perfect health, etc. Those who want to have jobs that are based on their hobbies/interests/real job skills. If you would like a job please let us know.

Welcome back. Hope you had a fun filled summer. :)

Morgan,

Good to see you! Love your new avatar. You look like you're having fun!

Rachel, that is her wash and wear hair ... or shall I just say "wear hair" as she seldom washes it, she just rolls out of bed looking like that! It's murder living with her!!! My hair actually looks much like hers (thick, but not as thick as hers) if I don't bleach it ... which is why I'm thinking of letting it grow out natural for a change. When it's bleached, it's all dried out looking.

Nikki, you gotta communicate with them via their favorite method. For Morgan it's now texts on the cell phone ... and I hate texts (but don't tell her, I just type much faster on the computer!!). She and I communicated via MySpace when she was still in High School, but that's not as popular for her anymore. Plus, when you do communicate with your kids the way they communicate with each other, you become the "cool" mom!! Plus, Morgan knows I hate talking on the phone.

It was actually Morgan's ex-boyfriend, and he was her ex-boyfriend at the time, too, who commented through myspace that I was cool! I've known him since he was about 10. Technically, it did not come from my own kids ... you will seem cool to his friends, maybe never to him though.

Wow...been quiet around gere lately. Well, I'm off for the weekend. Talk to you all on my return.

I should be looking forward to this trip to see my folks...the last run to see them before I go to Greenland next spring, but I just have a horrible feeling like my mother is going to "gluten" me. She's supportive to a point, but I don't think she truly understands what Celiac is. I am taking a small supply of my own food to snack on, but I hope all will be well.

Again, talk to you all next tuesday. :lol:

Well actually I washed my hair that day :rolleyes:

I didn't know you didn't like to talk on the phone, but honestly, I probably wouldn't care if I had known.....You're the one I talk to on the phone all the time. But I figured you didn't like to text, just bc it's more of my generation's thing B) But it's just too handy for me... I mean, if I'm in my room and on my computer I try to do work and check email, but when I walk, it's nice to be doing something.....texting :D Did that even make sense???

Yes, I'm having a lot of fun and making a lot of friends. I just took my first college exam about an hour ago :huh: I don't know how I did. That part wasn't so fun.

Hmmm, well, everyone else around our house knows I hate talking on the phone!!! :lol: I think :huh: Don't stop calling me though ... we don't overdo it ... all the time means a couple times per week!

I'm just really bad at texting ... takes sooo long.

Well, I knew you hated answering the phone, but I thought that was just bc it was never for you :P I'm getting faster at texting though...two hands help.

Oh, and raquetball is a blast. I'm quite terrible, but I'm having a lot of fun with it :D I'm slowly catching on.

Ryan,

Have as good a time as possible at your mom's. I know how you feel. My mom doesn't take this seriously and we've been glutened over at her house.

Make sure to take lots of safe snacks for yourself.

I totally agree.

I'm soooo not into texting. A short message is fine but when people are trying to have conversations via text messages...I just dont have the patience for it. I figure we could say everything so much faster over the phone and be done with it. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but could you say it during class?

And another thing, I quite often text when I am trying to study but need a break....if I call someone then I'll be on the phone too long, but if I text then it's just a few short periodical (is that the right word?) breaks.

Hi Ryan! Have a good visit with your folks, hope you don't get glutened :unsure:

I'm always one step behind, haven't gotten into the texting yet.........and maybe that's a very good thing :lol:

i'm really scared of the phone, no idea why.... but it just freaks me out, so i text a lot actually would be an understatement, me and my sisters convinced our dad to get the unlimited text messaging service cause it saves a lot of money

see i text to my friends sitting accross the room from me in class, when the class is boring.

Its so you can talk to people during class and then it sometimes makes it more interesting.

BUT i do pay attention in class and i only do it when i am bored, then i text my cousin in colorado and we can talk which is nice.

Texting definately has good applications. But it drives me nuts to have a conversation over texting when it could be handled differently. My husband's uncle would text me all the time and he just lives down the street ... I would say, just come over! It's fun to get them from Morgan, it lets me know what she's up to and I know she wouldn't call as often as she'd text.

I could be wrong cuz I'm just going by memory (which isnt the best) but I thought only the midnight milky ways were not gluten-free??? :unsure:

I've been on a million different elimination diets so I could just be extremely confused but you *might* be ok with the milky ways. ;)

I dont have my Delphi list here so cant check for you but I hope you stay symptom free. :)

Another drive by - havent been here is a while, real world interfering with my attempts to visit Rachelville. I had a chance to sneak in some replies to gfp posts - cant help but poke some fun.

Ryan - have fun visiting folks, bring more than a few snacks - bring gluten-free spagetti and sauce (recommendation from my son) ................. whatcha doing in Greenland?

The smell of tapioca bread is wafting thru my house right now, I bake to escape real life - know this sounds weird but baking is my therapy! :huh::rolleyes:

Started on diuretics today as kidneys aint what they used to be and swelling legs was annoying.

Maybe I need to make brownies too............ :rolleyes:

I want to move to Rachelville in real life for respite care and pretend I am well :blink:

Ok, nuff of that.... it is supposed to SNOW here later this week, .....what the heck :o ....I had kids try on boots from last year - looks like I will be shopping at Wal Mart this week...... is it considered bad parenting to send your kids to school in runners during a snow storm? :lol::lol:

I also predate fax machines and personal computers and cell phones... had a 20 year old burst out laughing when I said I knew what thermal paper was and that I had used DIAL phones and I had played pac man !!

      Hi @Nicbent35, When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration. With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing. In the meantime, though, continue on GFD. Her health is more important than convincing...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12? Folate helps regulate HDL levels. You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12. If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency...

      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?

      Welcome to the forum, @Nicbent35! There is something called gluten withdrawal that might have come into play here as well. As strange as it might sound, gluten has some addictive properties similar to opiates and some people feel physically and emotionally out of sorts for a few weeks after it is removed from their diet. There are two recognized...

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.

      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Nicbent35! There is something called gluten withdrawal that might have come into play here as well. As strange as it might sound, gluten has some addictive properties similar to opiates and some people feel physically and emotionally out of sorts for a few weeks after it is removed from their diet. There are two recognized gluten disorders, celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (aka, NCGS or just "gluten sensitivity" for short). They have symptoms that overlap. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the small bowel lining and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel. There are specialized blood antibody tests that have been developed for diagnosing celiac disease. NCGS, on the other hand, does not damage the lining of the small bowel. No tests are yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out in order to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS but NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. Please be aware that if your daughter is on a gluten free diet, the celiac disease blood antibody tests will not give valid results. For the testing to be valid, she would need to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the day of the blood draw. If you remove gluten from her diet as an experiment, valid testing can be done later on but she would need to be restarted on gluten for weeks/months ahead of the blood draw. Also be aware that once on a gluten free diet, restarting gluten can produce more severe symptoms because all tolerance may have been lost.
