Flash back to a year ago sitting in my dr.s office saying "give up wheat???" I couldn't beleive he didn't want to run gallbladders tests. How can you live without wheat AND dairy?? :blink:

Well you can, and I'm doing it very nicely. Yes - there's been some panic attacks, pitty partys (darn Olive Garden commercials)... but when I look back at where I was a year ago. I feel so much better, I've lost over 50 lbs, I have so much more confidence.

I couldn't have done it with out you guys. I've learned so much from each of you. It could have been a very long year... now I can only wait to see what I can look back on next year.

Awesome! I love reading these kinds of posts!!!! Make sure you give yourself a HUGE pat on the back and run to the nearest Outback Steakhouse and have yourself a "Thunder from Down Under" to celebrate!

Hugs.

StrongerToday - congratulations! That is wonderful for you. Great job sticking with it! I don't know how this is but statistics say that only 30-40% of people who are told to go gluten free for medical reasons actually do it without purposefully cheating. So you should give yourself a huge pat on the back and have a lovely gluten free treat!

Jerseyangle - sorry I missed your anniversary in June - congrats to you too, lady!

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      You can add Axonal Peripheral Neuropathy, Bone and Joints degeneration, Cataracts, Hypothyroidism, Gluten Bumps for those of us with dermatitis herpetiformis, and Malabsorption which contributes to so many other complications. Sadly though, other than gluten bumps all the aforementioned and many other autoimmune diseases, eventually, can and will take its...

      Oats gluten free?

      The oat protein, avenin, is not gluten. It is similar to gluten, however, and similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      What is the correlation in taking supplemental Magnesium with D? I can attest to Dr. McCarthy when it comes to influenza. In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the...

Sadly though, other than gluten bumps all the aforementioned and many other autoimmune diseases, eventually, can and will take its toll on the body, even while maintaining 100% gluten free. Coeliac, just like all Autoimmune Diseases beget autoimmune diseases. It’s in the cards, and inevitable, just a matter of time when. I’m living Proof!

In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house that was almost daily trafficked by other children and adults. Total 7 years, other than contracting Covid twice at 22 months apart, when it comes to flu illness I was practically immune.

It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the 7 consecutive years of D2 50K which gradually increased my D levels to 60s & 70s is causing current labs of high TSH, even though for at least the last 4 months I have reduced my D2 50K intake to half dosage, every other week vs. weekly?
