I need some funny things to say to my FIL on Sunday night. He's a doozy. In town for a couple of days & BIL is having us all over for dinner. Told Bro about Celiac & knows a little & will try hard. I'll bring food, too. FIL is retired dentist who knows everything about anything medical. He will "know" all about Celiacs, too. Probably the only time he heard about it was when he went to a dental convention. It was the workshop he skipped to go to the pool for margaritas. SIL says she is serving lots of wine to help her & I get through it. May eat at the kitchen table with 4 teen boys.

:lol: :lol: Jyaghnutt crackin' up at Patti crackin' herself up cracks me RIGHT up. ... ...

Kherrighn, I remember addressing the subject of celiac to my dentist when I was first diagnosed, as it likely explained my lifelong battle with cavities and enamel deficiency. He is an older man, ready to retire.. . .. .. .....and he looked at me like I was from another planet. At least he had vaguely heard of the illness. He smiled politely and mentioned something about it being related to faulty digestion, and therefore not at all to oral health. <_<

So, you could have an interesting time with your tippling FIL. . . .. . . ......

Wow! Emmel, you is so clever--quoting yourselph within a post afore ye have even posted it :unsure::blink:

Dat's a durned clever trick!! I won't even attempt to emulate it :P

Joodee, so good to see you back. Did I miss an update and a Velcro pic?? How is the wee darlin'?? Has he become a California kool kat? My Main Coone kitteh could never have been a California cat--when it gets to be 80 degrees in the house she looks at me so piteously, and says "DO SOMETHING"!!! (I am wearing a fur coat, ya know!!) :lol: and flops down on the tile floor. So muggins turns on the air conditioning, FOR THE CAT!!

Well, I am certainly glad that all the things that needed rectifying have been dooly rectified by our chief rectifier :lol: and hope that no more rectification needs to occur because I for one do not like to be rectified on any account :o .

I am one of the fortunate few whose dentist has a celiac wife and children :) so needs no education. He does not, however, serve Margaritas! And just when ya needs em too, so you can dribble them out of the side of your mouth that's numb and down your chin and onto your clothes :rolleyes: I have to wait to do that with my capucchino to which I always treat meselph after dental punishment. :rolleyes:

Clay is happy because summer (as he knows it from CA) is phinally in phull bloom. All that crazy stuphhh that was coming up from Antarctica is finally staying down in the Southern Ocean where it belongs and all is good in our household for a while. Thank (the higher power) for no smog!!, one of the things I was happy to leave behind. Of course, driving down the road I have to keep the air on recirculate because Kiwis have a lluuvv aphair with diesels, and not the modern ones but the dirty stinky ones from days of yore--PeeYugh, makes me coff 'cos my lungs are shot from the CA smog :( There's just no winnin' wherever ya goes.

Emmel, you is playing tricks on me. Because your post which was included in the quote from Ghianknit is no longer in the quote. Wotinell is happening here? :huh:

Yeah, I love rectify too. Geo. Eliot: "You can neither straighten their noses, nor...rectify their dispositions" :P

Kitteh is now flopped on top level of her condo, three legs in the air, belly exposed to the full blast of the air con :lol: Not a lady, my kitteh!

Well........ .. . . Rectify is a funny word....... but I've got a funnier one for your FIL, Khearrihn: FRUCTIFY. 'Tis an intransitive verb, meaning to bear fruit, reproduce or make productive. As in, Jooooodie will be fructifying her property in California.

Kherrighn, try to use this word in your discourse with your FIL. "Now, here......have another margarita, Dad - - it greatly fructifies your wit".....

      Vaccines

      By Dawn Meyers · Posted

      Hi I have celiac disease and the dermatitis herpetiformis rash Also other autommune diseases.  I have had bad side effects to all the vaccines I have had and now my Doctor wants me to have the pneumonia vaccine.  I am concerned because of some of the bad side effects I have had in the past example Hep B after shot couldn't  move arm for several months.  Flu shot and COVID was sick right after shot. Told not to get anymore. My lung is inflamed and have a cough I can't seem to get rid of. Very concerned 😟.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Manaan2,  I'm so happy to hear you're going to try thiamine and magnesium!  Do let us know the results!   You may want to add a B 50 Complex with two meals of the day to help boost absorption.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins which are all water soluble.   When supplementing magnesium, make sure to get sufficient calcium.  Calcium and magnesium need to be kept in balance.  If you choose a calcium supplement, take two hours apart from magnesium as they compete for absorption.  Take Calcium with Vitamin D.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.   For pain, I use a combination of thiamine, B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6.  These three vitamins together have analgesic effects.  My preferred brand is "GSG 12X Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets".  Alinamin is another form of thiamine.  It really is excellent at relieving my back pain from crushed vertebrae without side effects and no grogginess.   Look into the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Duet (Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, a Celiac herself, developed it.)  It really helps heal the intestines, too.  It's like a vacation for the digestive system.  Add foods back gradually over several weeks after feeling better.   I'm so happy to have pointed the way on your journey!  Let us know how the journey progresses! P. S. Add a Potassium supplement, too.  Potassium is another electrolyte, like magnessium, that we need.

      @knitty kitty I can't thank you enough!  My husband and I already started looking into those supplements.  We definitely plan to give it a try.  We've been against the Miralax since it was originally advised by PCP, but because of the level of pain she experienced on a daily basis, we decided to try it.  We've made many attempts to gradually decrease but due to her pain and related symptoms, we've kept her on it while trying all sorts of other dietary adjustments pre and post diagnosis specific to food; so far none of those efforts have made a significant difference.  I will definitely share how she's doing along the way!

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By BIg Nodge · Posted

      Hi, I have recently embarked on the gluten-free journey. I have what to me seems like a somewhat confusing set of test results and symptoms. I have been impressed by the accumulated knowledge and thoughtfulness as I browse this forum, so I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone can offer any insight. I know there are many posts like this from new users, so I have tried to do my baseline research first and not ask super obvious questions.  I'm 43, overall very healthy. No history of gluten sensitivity or really any of the classic GI symptoms. About three years ago I started to experience intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe). The symptoms over time have become fairly significant, though not debilitating, I am able to exercise regularly and am fairly physically active, continue to perform well at work. But for example I have gone from someone who consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest inside at work in winter and get chills if the a/c even blows on me in summer. I get tired and lose energy even when getting decent amounts of sleep, and have to have my wife take over on long drives that I could previously handle with no problems. More generally when I am experiencing these symptoms they seem to crowd out space in my mind for focusing on my family, my hobbies/activities etc, I sort of withdraw into myself.   I happened to be experiencing these symptoms during an annual physical with my PCP a few years ago, he observed post nasal drip and suggested it was allergies and that I treat it with claritin. At first it seemed to respond to claritin (though not zyrtex), but over time I became unsatisfied with that answer. There didn't seem to be any seasonal rhyme or reason to my symptoms, and I felt like I was on an endless loop of taking claritin, then stopping, not being sure if it was even making a difference. I did eventually get allergy tests and found modest allergies to dust and pollen, which didn't feel like a smoking gun.  I then started seeing a natural medicine doctor who was much more willing to explore my symptoms via testing. The first thing that came back abnormal was elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies/TPOs, 137 IU/mL vs a reference range of <9. At the same time my thyroid panel showed normal thyroid hormone levels. So it appears my immune system is attacking my thyroid even though it is working fine. I got a thyroid ultrasound at the time, it was clear, but with some abnormalities such that they suggested I get is scanned again in a year. These are certainly risk factors for a thyroid autoimmune disease, though my thyroid seems to be working fine for now.  From here my doctor considered celiac due to the murky thyroid/celiac links, so we did a panel. Results were as follows: TT IGA <1 U/ml, TT IGG <1 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGA 24.6 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGG <1 U/ml, IGAs 170 mg/dL. Readings greater than 15 considered high by my lab for the first four, my IGAs are within reference range. So basically just the deamidated IGA popped, but my IGAs are normal. I also notice on the tests that my thyroglobulin was high, 86.7 ng/ml vs a range of 2.8 - 40.9.  My doctor suggested that it certainly wasn't conclusive for celiac, but it was possible, and likely that I have some sort of gluten sensitivity. She suggested going gluten free and seeing how I felt as opposed to doing a biopsy. The best theory I can come up with is perhaps I am a silent celiac or just have a gluten sensitivity that doesn't produce immediate GI symptoms, but is still doing damage and over time has caused leaky gut. So now gluten is getting into my blood, and my immune system is attacking it but also mistakingly attacking my thyroid.  So that's what I did, went gluten free in October. It's been about four months, and I am really not feeling any difference. I still get the same symptoms that come and go. My bowel movements may be a bit more regular, but it was never a major issue before so I would consider that a minor improvement. I know that it can take a while to see improvements, and I am going to remain gluten-free and see how I feel. But I am definitely questioning whether I really understand what is going on, and am open to any thoughts or suggestions from the forum. Sometimes I wish I just went ahead with the biopsy before going gluten-free. While I would certainly be down to start drinking IPAs again ahead of a biopsy, you know, for science, I feel like at this point I would be throwing away four months of work and am better off staying the course and seeing what happens. But I'm really not sure.  I know there is a lot of thyroid knowledge on these boards, along with the celiac expertise, so I'm curious if this resonates with anyone's experience. And I'm interested in what sort of timelines people have experienced in terms of feeling improvements for some of these non-GI symptoms like chills, SOB, brain fog etc. Thanks in advance.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.
