My Hopes And Dreams For 2005....

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

My hope is that 2005 will bring us a celiac cure.

My hope is that the medical establishment will wake up and really start to understand and detect this disease in the millions of people who currently are suffering from it and don't know what it is they have.....

My hope is that the world will turn a corner and really start trying in earnest to obtain peace around the world.....

My hope is that God will take care of all of the children left without parents in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand and all of the other countries effected by the tragedy this week.......

I have high hopes for myself and my family this year. We are moving in six days, we sold our house in the city (Toronto) and bought a house out of town (about 45 minutes outside of the city), in a nice little town. I am staying home on sick leave for about 1 year to concentrate on getting my health back on track. I have a positive feeling that we will find a treatment that works for me for the collagenous colitis and my health will really take a turn for the better..... I am excited to start a new life in a new town, new home, get the children into a community that has that "small town" feel to it. We made enough from the sale of our house to be able to climb out of the mountain of debt we are in, and take that weight off our shoulders.... Yep, I really have high hopes for this year.....

I hope for health and happiness for 2005 to all my friends on this site.

Have a wonderful Happy New Year!

Karen

Yes, Happy New Year, everyone!

I have similar hopes to yours :). Also, I heard Dr. Green talk on NPR a couple weeks ago. He said that within the next five years, there will very likely be a treatment (not cure) for celiac. It won't allow you to eat wheat, but, I guess it would heal your intestines and perhaps aid your digestive system. I guess the 1/2 hour radio segment is also a positive step for celiac awareness. We're getting articles in magazines, newspapers, and now segments on the radio. The word will get out...it might take a little while, but more people are getting diagnosed now and I think the word is really starting to spread. After all, if you look at how many new members we have and the rate at which they are coming, we're making progress! :D

Of course I hope that I can sort out my stomach and digestive issues during this next year. Actually, I hope we can all get healthy in 2005! All the best to everyone here and happy new year!

AMEN to all those comments, Karen! :)

With what has happened with the tidal wave and tsunami (sp), it has really made me realise how very blessed I am.

I wish all my friends here a wonderful and peaceful 2005.

God bless.

      Thanks for the update @TerryinCO! Would you elaborate what you mean when you say your genetic tests show that you are "10x higher" for developing celiac disease? 10x higher than what? There are two main genes, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, that have been identified as providing the potential for developing celiac disease. Since 40% of the population carries one or both of these genes but only 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease, the genetic test cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease, simply to establish the potential for developing it. Gene testing is usually done to rule out celiac disease vs. NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). In other words, if gluten consumption is definitely causing someone problems but they don't have the genetic potential for developing celiac disease then the diagnosis would be NCGS. We also know that having both DQ2 and DQ8 puts one at higher risk for developing celiac disease than having just one or the other. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it quantified as in "10x higher". Not sure what you mean by this.

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      I would stop Xanax. It will eat away at your DAO enzymes needed to break down histamine . No energy drinks will do the same. I use to have all reactions in stomach now it's changed and started in my chest , which completely sucks and bummed. Maybe your reacting to high histamine foods. But it's hard to avoid cross contamination.  I would get pea milk made by ripples .it's a blue bottle . Ru getting cross reactions? Corn gets me. If it says gluten free it's probably not. Nibble at new foods and wait for reactions. Could be sudden or take 2 hours but some people think it hits 2 days later no way. Avoid coffee. Stick to free range chicken and steak or fish . Do lentils package by kroger works for me it doesn't even say gluten free but works for me just rinse well. Make big soups with sweet potatoes, cauliflower,  brocoli,  cucumbers, and add lentils or cook lentils separate taste better. If you can do potatoes add those inn huge plus. If you can do dairy yogurt try Noosa or a certified gluten free one. Don't smoke I had to quit creates heat and acid in your stomach which lowers your vitamins to break food down. Your reactions are in your chest . Do smoothies everymorning with apple.  🥒 cucumbers, arugula , oranges or add what you can tolerate with water. Try a peppermint tea certified gluten free that works for you. Watch out for spices like turmeric they add flour fillers to prevent caring. I got hit hard by that.  If you have a huge attack get the pin or eat oranges quick. If quinoa works for you get certified huge plus. I could go on and on . Just nibble first wait and see then continue eating it.  It's hard to find nuts that work for you. Maybe try nuts.com..... enter with caution

      I haven't been on the site for a while and I have some update info.   Genetic tests show I have the Celiac markers and high risk for Celiacs's  (10X it shows).  Immoglobulin A and G are low - just below the 'green' range; immoglobulin M is in the 'green'.  Zinc, Iron, magnesium, ferritin, and b12 are all in the 'green' range. I've been off the PPI for two weeks now and no real problems...minor heart burn and OTC antacids fix that.  So that's good to be off of that for good. I switched to a b complex sub lingual vitamin. I was surprised about the genetic results on Celiac markers. To my knowledge no one in my family had it or were diagnosed with it.  But they could have had and never been diagnosed.  And at 76 this has come up for me. Gluten free diet is going well and I do feel better on it - nothing major in changes - just better. I appreciate all the advice I've gotten on this site - lots of experience knowledge to draw on here. So thank you, all.
