I am also thankful for everyone here. :D When I first visited here I had SO many questions and didn't know where to begin.

A BIG thank you to all of you that help and care for each other enough to give your time and support.

ALSO a big thanks to Scott for putting all this together and offering such a wonderful place to be!

Take care everyone and I hope each of you have a Wonderful gluten-free Holiday Season!

I agree...I have visited a couple other celiac forums and none even comes close in my eyes. This one has enough people to provide a steady stream of conversation, but seems small enough for me to feel like I know people.

Thank you, Scott, for creating and maintaining this for us.

I, too, found this forum to be a lifesaver when I was diagnosed and it's so convenient for getting quick answers to my questions.

Happy holidays!

Hi, Being a newbie at this I am REALLY thankful to find this board and nice group of people. I havn't found a support group in my town, or even another gluten-free person. So basically I'm going it alone still, and doing okay. But as we head into the big feast season, and everyone is baking up their rolls to pass around the table, I will really be remembering that I might be sitting with my family and friends (as they all try to deal with my different diet, with varying success, yikes) but I have another "family" of people I can share or co-miserate with during the holidays. Thanks to all of you.

HI and Welcome!! We are all in the same boat here and I think that's what makes this board work so well. Last year, there were a Whole Bunch of us who were Newbie's and we all survived the holidays by depending on eachother, the board, God and family and friends.

I live in a small town in OK and don't know of another gluten-free person till I cross the boarder into AR. I met her here on the message board and haven't met her in real life. It's just nice to know she is over there if I need her. Last year my kids were very accomodating with my diet because I'd almost died the previous yr and we were so grateful to finally know what was wrong with me. This year, it's a little different-I'm supposed to be a pro at this and know what I can eat; NOT!! I'm still so full of questions and that's why I'm here reading almost every day. I love this site and reading what other people are coming up with. There is a wealth of info here.

We're also glad you found this site cause now we get to share the holidays with You and all the other Newbies, too. Welcome aboard and God Bless. granny

Great idea Deb!

Definitely thanks to everyone on this board for responding to all of the questions we all ask, even if its repeatedly! Being new here, and unsure of my diagnosis, this has been a wonderful relief and resource to put my worries at bay. I am very grateful to have found this forum!

Count me in too! I'm exTREMEly grateful for this site and everyone who participates!

And how GREATFUL I AM to live in a time where we have the internet. I probably never would have gotten a diagnosis if it weren't for the web, and I CERTAINLY would NOT have a clue about what I can and cannot eat! And I would never have met so many wonderful, helpful people as I have here. THANK YOU! What a lonely thing it would be to have to live this way without any support from people who are going through the same thing!

I , also , am grateful for this board. This is my favorite of three and the one I visit almost every day unless the library is closed and I can't get up here to our school when the computers aren't busy. I'll be having Thanksgiving supper with my daughter, several grandchildren and 1 and a half great grandchildren. The second great grand is to be born at the end of March. My daughter and I have figured out together things I can have. I am getting used to just having those things and enjoying them. A Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Ruth S.

I'm grateful for this board, the fact that I discovered I was gluten intolerant after I took up cooking, that I never had very severe symptoms, and that there are so many tasty foods in the world! And I'm very grateful for the support of my family and friends who have never made a disparaging comment about the diet.

I know! I completely agree. My mom and I have said that all the time.....where would I be without this board. When I was diagnosed, I was clueless and this is where I learned about celiac disease. I started out thinking that if it didn't say wheat, rye, barley, or oats on a label, it was gluten-free........then I got here and got educated :D.

The information on the regular celiac.com site is great and the message board is an even better resource :). I can't imagine not having the internet; I would either still be eating foods that had gluten, but didn't list it clearly, or I would've had to plod through stacks of books that often repeat each other.......ah, the wonders of technology :rolleyes:

I, too am so thankful for this message board. Since I was diagnosed in September, I have learned more from all of you than from my doctor and dietician. I also try to visit the board every evening after work, and although I don't often post, I read every new message. Your names have become so familiar to me, and I feel such a connection to everyone. Thanks to Scott and to all of you who are willing to share so much of yourselves.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Ortiz-Sánchez JP, Cabrera-Chávez F, de la Barca AM. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients. Nutrients. 2013 Oct 21;5(10):4174-83. doi: 10.3390/nu5104174. PMID: 24152750; PMCID: PMC3820067. AND SEE: Oats Intolerance in Celiac Disease. PLoS Med. 2004 Oct;1(1):e23. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.0010023. Epub 2004 Oct 19. PMCID: PMC523841. AND ALSO SEE: Bascuñán KA, Orosteguí C, Rodríguez JM, Roncoroni L, Doneda L, Elli L, Araya M. Heavy Metal and Rice in Gluten-Free Diets: Are They a Risk? Nutrients. 2023 Jun 30;15(13):2975. doi: 10.3390/nu15132975. PMID: 37447301; PMCID: PMC10346754. Celiac disease is one of the most common autoimmune gastrointestinal diseases; over the last decades, its prevalence indicates a mean annual increase in frequency currently calculated at 7.5% per year [23]. celiac disease is triggered by gluten present in the diet and the disease involves autoimmune and inflammatory damage to the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals. To develop celiac disease a person must inherit the genetic predisposition; however, about one third of the population carries the risk genes and only ~1% of the population develops the disease, indicating that genetics is not sufficient to explain the condition. The environment participates by providing the triggering factor, i.e., gluten, and the disease is activated by environmental factors which, until now, have not been fully understood, among which changes in eating habits and the intestinal microbiota are considered to be significant factors [24,25]; yet, current knowledge is insufficient to explain the mechanisms involved. Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is a GFD for life. AND ALSO SEE: Dr. Osborne: Although rice is considered gluten-free based on the definition set forth by the FDA, rice does contain a different form of gluten prolamin called orzenin. In my experience, those with known celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity issues do better when avoiding rice.

      @Bebygirl01, if you want to play word games with the term, "gluten", we can do that. The proteins you list in these other cereal grains besides wheat, barley and rye are somewhat different from that found in wheat, barley and rye and, technically speaking, are not "gluten". Technically speaking, "gluten" should only be applied to a particular protein found in wheat, barley and rye. These other cereal grain proteins have their own names (avenin, secalinin, zein, etc). Unfortunately, confusion has been created in popular and pseudo scientific literature by the informal use of the term "gluten" when talking about the proteins found in these other cereal grains such that you sometimes read about "corn gluten", "oat gluten", "rice gluten", etc. But these are actually misnomers, with "gluten" having been added on as an informal appendage to the actual protein names. Having said that, the protein structures of these other cereal grains is close enough to gluten that, for some people, they can cause a celiac type reaction. But this is not true for most celiacs and those who fall into the NCGS category. Apparently, it is true for you. This whole idea that cereal grains are bad for all of us has been popularized by books such as Dangerous Grains for years but it is not a widely accepted idea in the scientific community.

      On my Celiac journey and discovered I was also reacting to other types of gluten. The FDA in it's finite wisdom only classifies 'wheat, barley and rye' as the gluten's to be considered when a company tests for and stamps their products as gluten free. I am curious as to how many of you are aware of the other types of glutens? And another question to those on a 'traditional' gluten free diet , who are also still sick and struggling, are you also reacting to these other types of gluten as listed below? NOTE:  The new movement if you want to call it that, is now called 'grain free' and that is the true definition of gluten free. I no longer suffer with ataxia, confusion, anxiety, depression, OCD, Insomnia, ADD, acid reflux, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, headaches, and weight issues all due to going 'grain free'. I hope to reach as many of you out there that are still struggling and unaware of what might be setting you off such as my most recent glutening was from a vegan supplement that contained 'magnesium sterate' and 'glucose syrup' both of which are from Zien (zane) gluten at 55%. I was covered in sores that were bleeding, I was seeing squigly lines when I was trying to drive, had acid reflux, insomnia, and nightmares all from the gluten in Corn. Here are the other types of glutens that Celiacs and Gluten Intolerant people also react to: Wheat -Alpha Gliadin Gluten- 69% Rye - Secalinin gluten-30-50% Oats-Avenin gluten -16% Barley-Hordein Gluten -46-52% Millet-Panicin Gluten-40% Corn-Zien Gluten -55% Rice-Orzenin Gluten-5% Sorghum-Kafirin gluten-52% and Teff-Penniseiten Gluten 11%.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention again that IF thimerosal is used in a flu vaccine the amount of ethylmercury in a single vaccine dose would be extremely small, typically around 25 micrograms (µg) or less. For context, this is much lower than the levels of methylmercury found in some seafood. Ethylmercury is metabolized and excreted from the body much faster than methylmercury. Its half-life in the blood is about 7 days, compared to methylmercury, which can persist for months. The dose of ethylmercury in vaccines is far below the threshold known to cause toxicity so would not require chelation.

      Vaccines

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/
