Been a bad news week for us here [ family] amongst other things my 20 year old GD has just been confirmed with CELIAC'S ... THERE IS MANY I COULD WISH THAT ON! I say could! ... life is sometimes very unfair, she had everything going for her, world class dancer with a wall full of trophies and certificates, had alternative plans for work etc and ............ ... and now 2 serious health issues the other still be tested to confirm exactly what it is.
tnx for the thoughts ANGEL.... no it is a condition [ CELIAC ] that is an intolerance to Gluten, funny thing is though the other problem she has [ over 18 month's known? " ] did tag the Celiac it was her "own" doctor going through her files that noted the "tag" had not been acted on... the problem of having appointments with anyold tom dick and Harry purporting to be a Doctor!!!!!! my hip was for over 5 years [ started started feeling in 2009 operated 2019 ] just a keep on taking the tablets as was 5 years since saw my own Doctor!!!!!!!!!! her other condition started off as MS, got refined to something else is now still after 7 month's waiting to see specialist, has had 3 "attacks since!!!!!! " still dont know what it is!
Don’t you mean Coeliac I have that, it’s not as bad the diet compared to what it was when I was diagnosed, late 90’s early 2000’s. Expensive but it’s more catered for now. I do struggle with snacks if I’m out and about. So you need to take stuff with you. ( twix gluten free cookies are lush though) Good luck to your GD, there are plenty of support groups that can help and like I said it’s not that bad nowadays. It was horrible but there are a lot of nice foods. Once she’s fully on the diet fingers crossed she feels a lot better for it.
Yes the spelling was a bit deliberate ... but you are correct and thankyou very much for your comments ....... On my Tuesday night foray, one of the team is /has connections to 2 COELIAC sufferers. One is a doctor who treats his friend. He had a lot of to say about it and some of the problems encountered, but one thing he said was quite enlightening, the diagnosis and days after. GD was told 3 month's ago to continue on normal eating plan when it was first tagged. then test and then Monday got result ... positive ......... apparently the doctor explained tp my friends mate that he should not suddenly just go all gluten free, in fact if I understood it correctly not 100% . Part of the statement was that the body has already [ pre diagnosis ] had a "poor? tolerance to it, and the body has been fighting it. cutting out gluten free 100% means the body looses out on it's ability to "fight it????? " and it becomes a more intense battle????? ! My obvious Q was so does he "ignore" a small amount of gluten product ..daily /weekly/ ???? he said he didnt know but the explantion he was given? / understood? was it might be likely!! but would check with him. GD has yet to the dietician but have already started "apping" products for gluten content!
