Hi! I just logged on as a new member, I have had the opprotunity to read through some of the past conversations. Thanks for all of your "celiac-life" experiences. I have been living a gluten free life for approx 1 year. I was sick for almost a year before I was finally diagnosed. I still struggle emotionally but physically I feel so much better. I look forward to chatting with all of you and learning how to cope.

Thanks!

AuntieAdie

Welcome to the board! Feel free to ask questions, even the embarassing ones. We have either been there/done that, or are going through it now, so there is no judgmentalness! celiac disease is hard to cope with at first, but it does get easier with time. You will get so used to reading labels that you will find yourself reading labels for complete strangers in the grocery store!

:lol: Plantime, I just did that very thing yesterday in town. Read a lable for a complete stranger that is. Poor fellow forgot his glasses at home and was checking for MSG. We had a lovely chat afterwards. He was shopping for his wife who has allergies.

Welcome AuntieAdie, the emotional stuff does get better too :P

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
