Hi,

I just made brown belt... Took me just over 2 years, probably averaged 7 hours a week in the dojo.

I would love to connect with other celiacs with this interest.

HI Virginiabeach!

My name is Amy, I live in Alaska. I am 41. What martial art are you taking? I did Shorin Ryu karate for 2 years and a weapons class for 1 when I lived in CA. Now I am taking Seibukan Jujutsu, just got my sankyu on Thursday. (2nd green belt, the belts are different than in Karate). I am also taking Battojutsu which is a sword class.

I really love the weapons stuff btw. In Kobudo we used traditional okinawan weapons, I did bo, sai and just started on nunchaku when I had to move. In Seibukan we use tanto, bokken, jo (a short staff), a small piece of rope that I can't remember the name of and an even smaller tiny piece of wood.

In Battojutsu you use a wooden sword called a bokken also an unsharpened katana. When you get higher up in ranks you actually get to cut mats and need a shinken (sharp katana). Oh I could go on and on. Here is a photo of me at a workshop I was lucky enough to be able to attend. I actually had only been in batto for 2 months and the Shihon came to visit. I was allowed to cut some mats, which was extraordinary! Here is a photo. Open Original Shared Link

I just found out Friday afternoon that I most likely have celiacs, I have been having problems for over 1 year, maybe 2. There were times when I would be driving to class and feel like crap but somehow almost always I would feel better just in time. Maybe it was a mental thing where I wasn't focusing on what hurt any longer, I don't know. One of my symptoms was I always seemed to have gas so I was worried about that but thankfully no embarressing moments. Besides the guys always blame the mats anyway, LOL.

I will be going for an endoscopy and biopsy (soon I hope). : )

Nice to meet you, if you want to talk more on martials arts just let me know. I can talk and talk. : )

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
