Wow! Definitely a good call. Are you gluten-free all the time, Nik, or just with the family?

Yeah, Nik, that was my question.... . ......and didn't you say that you were diagnosed at one point with something gastrointestinal, IBS er sumfin'? I was sure I read you saying something like this, long ago.. ..... ..

DD came traipsing into the kitchen this am and mumbled, "Happy Birthday. Can you give me a drive to school? And I need a new hair dryer.....mine is starting to stink like burning rubber".

The Ripper followed a few minutes later, and said nothing.

I heard mad whispering in the other room, then he wanders back in...."Happy Birthday, Mom. But, like, it's not ever really HAPPY anymore, is it?"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

HAPPY BURPDAY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummmmm, probably around 95% gluten-free I'd say.

E.g if I eat out with girlfriends...... not often.. but of course I don't worry about the finer points (CC, 'may contain' ..etc)

Yeah, Nik, that was my question.... . ......and didn't you say that you were diagnosed at one point with something gastrointestinal, IBS er sumfin'? I was sure I read you saying something like this, long ago.. ..... ..

Yup :rolleyes: ...me bowel is irritable

:wacko: That would be too weird!!!

....anyhoo....just ate 2 slices of Tel's cake 'cos it's got iron in it!! ...... yes REALLY! it HAS!! ;)

:o Could you just imagine????? I mean, yer already one of us :wub: , but what if your small intestine was really on board ? :P When you do eat it away from home, do you feel odd or crampy or hot and sweaty, er sumphin after? Anemia was one of me first symptoms from years ago--stymied doctors-- and all the tests they did never did uncover a problem.......said it was because I was a woman :blink:<_<

Um...... . . . .. . . low iron. . . ........bowel acting irritably.... . . .........if it looks like a duck. . ........

Actually, it wouldn't be weird at all! How many humans on earth cannot tolerate gluten, to some degree? Half?

And DH and I are just one couple that I know, of a few now, where both are celic.

You've always been one of us, Nik!! :D:P

When you think about it, they say that 97% of Celiacs are undiagnosed......

Don't we all miss the days when our birthdays came to us, finally, after an agonizing wait.. .. . .counting the days, then the hours, dreaming of the gifts we'd be given, the big party, the cake..... . .....revelling in being a year older, more mature.. . .....

Funny how things change.

aw, Emmel :( hugs for you on this day, friend, with that empty chair. It DOZ get better, just takes time, and Pads is right, you've got a lifetime of memories of your wonderful dad. Les IS looking down with a smile. :)

HAPPY BIRFDAY, EM-UH-LEIGH!!!!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

It was TOOOO PURTY not to copy!!!!!!!! :)

One of my birthdays . . . hubby was gone on a business trip. Kids were about 2 1/2 and 4. I made myself an angel food cake (before Skeeter was gluten-free). Well, you have to let those rest upside down on a bottle so I had to chug a beer to get myself the appropriate size bottle. At supper I made the children sing to me or they wouldn't get cake!!! The question is . . . why is this one of my most memorable birthdays??

:lol: :lol: memorable 'cause it's kooky and enDEARing ♥

Sooz-worried about you, thinking of you, hoping you are having a better day, a better week!

Missed you all! Couldn't raise my head long enough to turn on the computer since Saturday, so far I've been up for 3 whole hours!!

RAH-CHALLE!!!! so glad yer better!! we missed you :)

I also am doing better.

SILLS - I found the BEST doctor yesterday!!!!!!!!!!! Am slightly in shock.....I have had the WORST doctors since moving back here :angry: (except for my beloved GI) who spend no more than FIVE minutes with me for a physical, or whatever.

So - I found this guy on a specific website, and drove out-of-town to see him (not saying which website since my stalker ex-boyfriend still sometimes reads here - AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, IF YOU"RE STILL READING ALONG, FOR GOD"S SAKE, PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :huh: )

Anywho. He spent about 40 minutes with me, and it was the most THOROUGH verbal and physical exam I've ever had.....just amazing. He's the ONLY doctor to actually HEAR the "click" of the mitral valve prolapse (no one caught the reason for my fluttering and weird heart stuff until an ultrasound was done). He was APPALLED that my current (former) doctor had not checked B12 levels, Vit. D levels, all hormones, lipids (severe heart disease on my mom's side), cholesterol, all KINDS of stuff. Had all that detailed blood work this morning, including T3 and T4, so I'm extremely pleased!!!! :) x 10

I just feel so encouraged...this doctor is PERFECT - runs pretty much in between conventional and holistic medicine.....recommends LOTS of supplements....I have to increase my fish oil!

*burp*

oh and BTW - he believes that SWINE FLU is a HOAX!!! :o Created by World Health Organization to make TONS of money. He says there ARE really wretched new strains of flu, as there are all the time, but there are no more deaths from the so-called swine. I didn't ask him about the vaccine as I don't plan on getting it......but I suspect his answer would be NO.

Sillies--I talked to Judith this morning. The movers are finishing up loading her stuff today after a long day of last minute packing and loading yesterday. She's holding it all together well between all of the good-byes and the stress of the move itself :D They will clean the house tomorrow, and the closing is scheduled for Friday--after that, they are off to California. B)

I just called her!!! I hadn't talked to her since my wretched summer of '08, I believe....she will be in a FORUMLESS ABYSS for more than TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!! Said the move went BEYOND perfectly ;) I'm so excited for them!

All ok,...... except I am REALLY anAemic!!!!

WIH????

He questioned my diet (how dare he! )....which *I* think is pretty balanced. The doc then suggested he test ME for celiac disease ( ... had a good 'inward' chuckle at this suggestion)

I proceeded to tell him that I am already eating gluten-free so there was no point. (good call though!!)

Sooo, he's given me iron tabs to take for 2 months, and then re-test my bloods..... if it hasn't come up by then he wants to start 'investigations'

I clearly need to EAT FILET STEAK everynight!!!

FILET EVERY NIGHT, Nikkers!!!!! this is CRAZY!!!!!! :blink:

but...did he check your FERRITIN also? that is the key......and I have the same question as Pads, are you ONE HUNDRED PERCENT G F ? even away from home? methinks those pub lunches lead to cheating ;) <can't blame ya>

and WHOT in hell is this IRON CAKE Tel eats???? I WANT SOME!!!!!!!!

BTW there are going to be some Tesco stores opening here! I'm outta my mind! :rolleyes:

In fact one's already here, downtown, called "fast and easy" or summat like that? No.....wait.......that sounds whore-ish...... :lol: But they're smaller markets...I MUST go see this!!

I did not feel swiney. I had no appitite, no rooting around in the mud looking for delish truffles or anything. Just soup, broth and fresh juice for a few days. 1 swollen tonsil and pure exhaustion. I basically slept for 3 days straight.

Meant to mention two things this am, and forgot.....Sooooozle, you've given us such fantastic news!! So wonderful - -a doctor who is listening, proactive, and really ready to get to the bottom of things. :):) How sad that we are in a society that does not recognize this as the norm, and we jump up and down in excitement when we actually find a doc like this. <_<

ANNNNND.....my girlfriend made my birthday cake yesterday. She is a phab cook/baker/kitchen navigator, and she made a sugar-free, gluten-free chocolate fudge cake with cream cheese icing. It was unbelievable. The most rich, moist cake I have ever had. With such restrictions, I long ago gave up trying to make any baked goods without gluten and sugar - - dry, heavy and gross. But she worked some magic. What a treat!

Me ferritin was slightly low...nowt like yooz peeps have had....I MUST clean up me act TOOT SWEETE!!!!!

Nik, the developments here will be just fascinating, as it sounds like you have had more gluten-trouble symptoms than I did.....all I had was borderline low iron - - in fact, my endo wasn't even classifying it as low. Quite remarkable that I was diagnosed at all, considering all the people who have obvious, classic symptoms and often go eleven years before it is found. :huh:

Mini Whore-ish Tescos :lol: Also a band name... . . ......

.... but I get the feeling the bottle is crucial to the whole process :blink:

As is the story of my life.... . .....a bottle (um, FULL, of wine) being crucial to many daily processes. . . .. . ..... :lol:

Yep--and I also had to rest after eating. Every night after dinner, I had to lay down for a few minutes and then I was able to clean up, make lunches, etc.

. . ...anyone else in their forties who still feel like teenagers? Mentally, that is.

Still.....even in me 50's.....In my mind I don't feel much different at all.

      Yes, I'd like to know also if a "total IGA" test was ever ordered. It checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, it will likely render the individual celiac IGA antibody tests invalid. Total IGA goes by other names as well:  Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Test Serum IgA Test IgA Serum Levels Test IgA Blood Test IgA Quantitative Test IgA Antibody Test IgA Immunodeficiency Test People who are IGA deficient should have IGG tests run as well. Check this out:    I am also wondering if your on again/off again gluten free experimentation has sabotaged your testing. For celiac disease testing to be valid, one must be eating generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the test.
    • Scott Adams
      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like you’ve been on a really challenging journey with your health. Your symptoms (stomach pains, bloating, low iron, joint pain, brain fog, etc.) do sound like they could be related to gluten sensitivity or another condition like non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). It’s interesting that your bloodwork hasn’t shown celiac markers, but the lymphocytosis in your duodenum could still point to some kind of immune response or irritation, even if it’s not classic celiac disease. The fact that your symptoms improved when you went gluten-free but returned when you reintroduced gluten (especially with the donut incident) is a pretty strong clue that gluten might be a trigger for you. It’s also worth noting that symptoms can be inconsistent, especially if your body is still healing or if there are other factors at play, like stress, cross-contamination, or other food intolerances. Do you have more info about your blood test results? Did they do a total IGA test as well? 
    • KDeL
      For years, I have dealt with various gluten related symptoms like stomach pains, bloating, IBS-C "ish" digestive issues, low iron, low Vit D, joint pains, brain fog, and more. I finally got a double scope and stomach looks clear, but I have some lymphocytosis of the duodenum. I am wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, where I have not shown celiac red flags in bloodwork IGA tests. WIll be following up soon with GI Dr, but so far, my symptoms are intermittent. I go back and forth with gluten-free diet (especially this past year.... did two tests where the stomach pains I had went away without gluten in diet. HOWEVER, I added it back a third time and I didn't get the pains)   Anyway, I am so confused and scared to eat anything now because I recently had a few bites of a yeasty donut and I immediately got so sick. Any thoughts??
    • Peggy M
      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items.  Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections.  Since this was done some new ones have been added.  Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.
    • Scott Adams
      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs.
