When you politely disagree with someone, in return they call it an "attack".

I left politics for a reason. :D

I'm here to peeve! Celiac's disease or celiacs disease. AUUUUGHH! IT'S NOT PLURAL AND IT'S NOT POSSESSIVE!

Thank you. I feel much better. :ph34r:

I think this one comes from the following:

We talk about celiac disease. We also talk about things that affect celiacs (the people) So people get the two confused and call celiacs the disease instead of the people who have the disease :P

Yes!! For some, any disagreement is an argument or an attack, not a discussion. :unsure:

Threads that start with the declaration "fill in the blank" is NOT gluton free, with no more justification than "it had to be because everything else I ate yesterday was safe". And the product clearly contains no gluten ingredients.

Another one. "The person on the phone wouldn't confirm it was gluten-free". So it must have gluten, right?

best regards, lm

Tied in with that is another of my pet peeves - the assumption that every single time someone feels weird, they must have gotten into gluten. It can't be a virus, another intolerance, food poisoning, or simply a bad day.

I have a bigger pet peeve though that drove me off the board once in frustration. It probably will again eventually. There is a collective refusal to accept new ideas about celiac disease and gluten intolerance, to the point of persecuting people who suggest something new or different. There are people on the board who think they know a lot more than the real experts who are publishing peer-reviewed research, but they generally don't. It gets quite tedious and frustrating, coping with the "board think."

Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)

I am cursed with a proofreader's eyes and grammar and spelling errors almost "light up". UGH!

I stop myself all the time from correcting people because I am a RETIRED English professor and no one likes a pain-in-the-arse grammar phobe with a red pen. :lol: :lol: :lol:

(Not that I haven't made a few errors myself. :lol: When I am passionately presenting my case, I get carried away...)

And finally, people who start new topics about the fries at McDonalds. As if the hundred or so we already have had since 2006 haven't addressed all the questions. :(:angry: :angry:

:lol:

Peter, I have often wondered...wouldn't a FAQ section with these kinds of queries stop those repetitive questions? I know when I first joined the forum, I used the search mode for threads, but I also probably asked questions you guys answered many times as well. (And thank you all for your unlimited patience :) )

Amen to this. It makes me very uncomfortable when someone feels an opinion is a judgement of some kind and lashes out at others on a thread. I thought the purpose of a forum was to discuss. I always say IMHO so as not to offend, but sometimes it is like walking on eggshells. :unsure: I am not here to argue; I am here to learn and help if I can. Maybe some people are still healing and gluten is still affecting their moods? IMHO :lol:

As far as a FAQ section is concerned, I think it's a great idea. Only problem: If someone can't even be bothered to take the time to read the Board Rules, would they really read a FAQ section?

Some people will want to fight about the FAQs.

So true!

And I do wish people would learn to use that Google button at the top right hand corner of the screen. So many questions being asked have been asked before and answered in great detail. Very helpful.

But please....don't pull up a post from 2004 and expect the info to be accurate!

Or the OP to answer back with her recipe!

I have had people PM me to ask why people are so rude and don't respond back. I have to explain that the person hasn't been on in 5 years.

Er... guilty? I've been on the board depressed, brain-fogged, and grumpy and have made posts I shouldn't have. :huh: I do always try to apologize.

I'd rather than than a thread hijack! Yet another pet peeve. Find a vaguely relevant thread, put your lab results in the middle, then get petulant when nobody answers your question because they didn't notice it and were focused on the original poster.

Many message boards automatically lock threads after there have been no replies for a certain period of time. We would benefit immensely from that. There is hardly ever a situation where an old thread is dug up that doesn't lead to confusion and hurt feelings. Even worse, many of the old threads contain out-of-date product information.

How about extremely long posts, with no paragraphs. I do tend to skip those. My old tired eyes can't handle those. B)

      How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went. Fatigue can be due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, particularly iron, vitamin D and B12.  Were these levels tested?  If not, I would suggest you get them done. If your daughter is deficient in these, do if will be worth addressing them and getting the tests redone in a few months, particularly the iron, because too much can be dangerous.

      Inhaler problem

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic acid accumulation caused by the inhalers: Shoshin beriberi provoked by the inhalation of salbutamol https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12951730/    Significant Lactic Acidosis from Albuterol https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5965110/ Albuterol-Induced Type B Lactic Acidosis: Not an Uncommon Finding https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7263006/ Lessons of the month 1: Salbutamol induced lactic acidosis: clinically recognised but often forgotten https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6964186/ An Overview of Type B Lactic Acidosis Due to Thiamine (B1) Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10731935/   Thiamine has antifungal and antibacterial properties.  Thiamine helps keep Candida in check.  Thiamine helps keep SIBO in check.  Thiamine helps with black mold, Aspergillis infection.  Riboflavin helps fight Candida infection in the mouth. Riboflavin Targets the Cellular Metabolic and Ribosomal Pathways of Candida albicans In Vitro and Exhibits Efficacy against Oropharyngeal Candidiasis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36625571/   Thiamine deficiency can make ones voice hoarse and can cause localized edema.  Niacin deficiency can make ones voice hoarse.  (Niacin deficiency and Thiamine deficiency can each cause irritability, agitation, and lability.) Hoarseness in pellagra https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21507655/ Hidden Hunger: A Pellagra Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8152714/   Anesthesia can cause B12 deficiency.  B12 deficiency can show up as mouth sores and geographic tongue, diarrhea, and dementia. Vitamin deficiency, a neglected risk factor for post-anesthesia complications: a systematic review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11823251/ Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/ Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia: A systematic review of cases https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144777/ The Effect of Vitamin B12 Infusion on Prevention of Nitrous Oxide-induced Homocysteine Increase: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4052402/     Eating a diet that is heavy in carbohydrates can precipitate a thiamine deficiency.  As the amount of carbohydrates consumed increases, additional thiamine is needed, otherwise the carbs will be stored as fat.   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/   The deficiency symptoms of some of the B vitamins cause gastrointestinal symptoms that resemble the same symptoms as when being glutened.   Thiamine deficiency can present as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain (Gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Niacin deficiency can present as diarrhea (Pellagra = diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, then death ).  B12 deficiency can present as diarrhea or dementia.  Not everything is caused by hidden gluten.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing foods are. Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels, but do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with the eight B vitamins, Vitamin C, the four fat soluble vitamins and minerals like magnesium.  Your physician can give you a shot of B12 before anesthesia administration.   By the way, Celiac Disease genes have been traced back to having originated in Neanderthals.  I'm not a singing teacher on the net.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins are doing inside the body.  I've experienced nutritional deficiencies myself. Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jnstefan! She should start feeling better within a week or two if she is truly avoiding gluten and if she isn't also showing intolerance to other foods. It is quite common for celiacs to be dairy intolerant (not just the lactose but the protein casein in dairy) and to oats (protein is avenin). Casein and avenin have structures similar to gluten. We call this cross reactivity (not to be confused with cross contamination). So, you might look at pulling these two food items from her diet to see if there is improvement. But achieving a gluten free state is more challenging than people realize when the first start in. It is hidden in so many foods you would never expect to find it in like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, just to site two examples. This might help:

      My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac 2 weeks ago. We've been on gluten free diet now for 2 weeks. She still experiences abdominal pain at times , and is struggling with fatigue. What is everyone's experience with how long it takes for the body to heal and stabilize after starting the gluten free diet? Thanks for any feedback!

      thank you for the insight  Thank a small elevation can be due to this or is it more likely to be cross contamination ?
