Does It Annoy You?

Need to Rant:

I am feeling really irritated lately. I have been glutened from CC four times in the last month and a half. I'm not sure exactly where it is coming from, but I think it might be my nannying job. So lately I've been really sensitive.

I just need to rant about this as when this came up I was talking about having had a nightmare where I was back staying with my abusive parents (who I will never stay with again) and they refused to have any food that I could eat in the house. Yes in real life I could go and get food, but in the dream I could not and they literally had nothing.

When I was talking about my nightmare someone who compared my celiac to their CHOICE of being vegetarian. I understand that some people have very strong feelings about their need to be vegetarian. Whether it be spiritual, or ethical. However, it is not the same as being vegitarian, where at least in the US you can pretty much be guaranteed in most, if not all places, these days (though may be somewhat limited in fast food restaurants) being able to get something. And not having to worry about the consequences of becoming sick if someone doesn't switch their gloves. I know after a long time some people have trouble digesting meat, but I've never heard of someone getting sick because of cross contamination with meat.

Somehow or other it is much more acceptable to be a choice vegetarian diner than a necessary celiac diner :blink::rolleyes:

If a veg or a vegan accidentally got some chicken broth in the rice, it would not make them sick. If the kitchen made a salad and put chicken on it and the waitress took it off, they would never know and be fine. Restaurants don't have to be as careful. They can cook a veggie burger right where they just toasted a bun.

That said, a lot of veggie restaurants do gluten-free well.

I have a vegetarian mother-in-law. I give the same response to her in that she has a choice whether or not to eat gluten products or stay vegetarian or whatever. She can be a bit oblivious of what she is doing or saying at times. Most of the time for me is when there has been some good looking cinamon rolls, or cookies or something. She will be standing right infront of me telling me how delicious the item is. I just look back at her and tell her how happy I am that she can enjoy it. From time to time she has eaten meat at family events, like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and it does not seem to bother her. The fnniest thing is that now she tries to say that she feels that she should go gluten free beacause the wheat sometimes makes her feel sick. I've never noticed that to be the case. I have told her as I have told others, that they are doing these things out of choice, while I am doing this out of neccesity. If I eat any gluten, I will end up having at least one seizure at any time following that. I drive 35 miles each way to get to work and home. My mother tries to be vegetarian from time to time, but I get the best of her when I cook steaks and chicken or other meats. She is always very concious of my diet restrictions though.

See ya!

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      By trents · Posted

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement?

      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated too. I also have hashimotos but my TSH was good.

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac antibody levels or healing of the villi?
