So, today I log into facebook and one of the few celiacs I actually know in real life had posted this:

 

http://dailycurrant.com/2014/06/03/gluten-found-in-portlands-water-supply/

 

---- BEFORE YOU READ IT AND TAKE IT SERIOUSLY IT IS A FAKE SPOOF ARTICLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE----

 

She thought it was real, and so did her other gluten-free friends.  I am assuming they only read the headline, because once you read a few sentences in you can see how hilariously redonkulous the satire article is.  Maybe I shouldn't expect others to be as detail oriented as I am, but really???!!

If it is on the Internet.... It must be true!

Everything on the internet is true. We all know that.

 

This is a fun website you can go to to explore the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. My BFF to teaches a course on computer literacy uses this website to teach students about researching things. Simple true/false question on the test. Is diyhydrogen monoxide dangerous to humans?

I suppose also you could say it is depending on what you do with it. lol! I corrected a two inch stack of tests yesterday and probably had half a dozen of the ones with this question. Only one person got it right. I almost wanted to cry. I do make a point though if anyone brings it up to me to point out that I grew up next to a nuclear power plant and that it's the #1 form of waste from them. It's so easy to be alarmist about hahaha.

It's especially dangerous to drunks on boats without a life jacket and people who live next to a river. But it is gluten free!

A toddler who was found chewing on a slug.  After the initial surge of disgust the parent said, "Well, what does it taste like?"  "Worms," was the reply.

The Penguin! definatly  :lol:

 

When I'm sitting in my recliner, my two dogs sit with me on either side.  When I get up to get something they stay in the chair and when I come back I have to scooch into the middle again.  I think the words "Dog Rules" should be "Dogs Rule"  :lol:  :lol:

We had those rules too when we first brought home our fur babies.

They were to be crated at night and we were going to board them for a week every year so we could vacation at our favorite resort that is not pet friendly. They of course sleep in our bed now and we don't board them, but instead find a VRBO that allows pets so they can go on vacation with us. They run the show for sure. I finally figured out how to put their picture in as my profile photo. See, who could say no to those cute little faces? Not me!

They are very cute!  I have a black lab who LOVES little white fluffy dogs.  They are his favorite!  (not to eat, Psillies)  We used to think we were going to have to get him his own little white fluffy but the backyard neighbors got one instead.  That worked great.  My hub made a gate in the wrought iron fence so they can visit each other's yard.

When I went to feed the cat my hub said "Gracie needs her astronaut food."   :D

      Hi @sh00148 I am so glad that your son is going to have a blood test next week.    If the blood test is that soon, and he has been consuming normal levels of gluten up until now, he should have had enough exposure to gluten to test positive should you decide to stop the gluten immediately, as Scott suggest.  However, one thing you may wish to change in the short term instead/as well is to stop him consuming dairy products.  If he is a coeliac, he may have become temporarily dairy intolerant.  The tips of the villi, which line the gut and are damaged in coeliacs, produce lactase, an enzyme essential for the digestion of dairy.  If they are damaged it can contribute to diarrhea and gas.  I had this some months after my own coeliac diagnosis, and it improved no end when I gave up dairy for a while.  Once on a gluten free diet they heal, and most coeliacs can return to consuming dairy. I would have thought that with those bowel issues in a young child what is happening to him is entirely normal.

      It’s understandable to feel frustrated, especially when you’re managing celiac well but still experiencing new, unexplained symptoms. Many people with celiac notice sensations around the neck and jaw area, even without visible swelling. Sometimes, lymph node sensitivity or a tight feeling in the throat can linger as part of the body’s inflammatory response, even if your thyroid and other tests come back normal. It sounds like you’ve been thorough with testing and have seen multiple specialists, which is great. A few things might be worth considering: for some people with celiac, there can be lingering sensitivities to trace gluten, cross-reactive foods, or even certain environmental factors that can cause persistent inflammation. Since you’ve tried antihistamines and a humidifier, you might want to discuss options like different allergy medications or seeing an ENT specialist if you haven’t already. Some find that supplements (like anti-inflammatory options or probiotics) help support overall inflammation reduction, though you should always check with your doctor first. It’s frustrating when you feel the symptoms without an obvious cause, but trust your instincts—hopefully, with persistence, you’ll find answers and some relief soon.

      It sounds like you’re really going through it—accidental gluten exposure can definitely take a toll, and when it happens twice close together, it can feel like it drags on even longer. Many people find that each glutening is a bit unpredictable in terms of recovery, and it could take a little extra time if your body hasn’t fully cleared out the first exposure before the second one hit. Staying hydrated, avoiding other potential irritants (like alcohol and spicy foods), and resting can help ease the symptoms as your gut heals. Hopefully, things start to settle soon! In the meantime, it could be helpful to communicate with friends about specific brands to look out for, even when it’s hard to ask in the moment. Hang in there—hope you’re feeling much better soon! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      @Therockfrog, it sounds like you’ve been through so much, and managing these symptoms must be incredibly challenging. Tingling in your feet and scalp, especially after eating specific foods, can sometimes be related to histamine intolerance or even a sensitivity to certain food proteins, as you’ve suggested. Since you’ve already noticed patterns with gluten, nuts, and dairy, it might be worth looking into a histamine intolerance or mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), where the body has an exaggerated response to histamine and other triggers, which can cause itching, tingling, and even high cortisol levels. This would explain why your symptoms change with seasonal pollen too. If you’re considering eating some of these trigger foods before seeing the allergist, it could help with identifying specific IgE reactions. However, since this can worsen symptoms, you might consider working with your doctor to approach this slowly, maybe introducing one trigger at a time. It’s great you’ve tracked your symptoms so closely—that detailed information will help the allergist a lot. In the meantime, perhaps continue with antihistamines, as sometimes trying different types (H1 and H2 blockers, for example) under guidance can make a difference. Hang in there! It sounds like you’re very close to finding the root of these reactions.
