Re: Celiac disease--you knew it: a LINK!/ and now an account

[Guest guest]

Way back in the 1990s--I can no longer find the article on the web--there was a fascinating story of a Scotland Yard Investigation of a series of break-ins and thefts, no finger prints. Finally, local police.near London, caught the guy in the act. Scotland Yard tried to fingerprint him--no prints. The guy was pathetically skinny, obviously ill,and claimed that he could no longer eat. He was first put into a medicalfacility, and then diagnosed with celiac disease that was so bad thathe could no longer tolerate the lactose in most dairy products. (This is common with untreated celiac disease.) After he had gained 70+pounds, was all rosy and healthy looking, he was imprisoned forthree years, then re-hospitalized again as he

had relapsed. Hissentence was reduced, and it took him nearly a year in hospitalto (for the first time in his relatively young life) feel really well.He was then placed in a special residential home, took classes,and eventually became employed full time as an accountant.So far. . . so good; then it was discovered that three of his fivesiblings were also ill with the same condition, celiac disease,and they were treated as well.I think if the choice between lactose/dairy and a much shortened life, I would make my peace with perhaps Almond Milk(maybe vanilla), soy cheese products, and just get on withlife.Many cannot imagine how we wMS manage, but we do,and we do what it takes to survive.Kind of glad that I do not have celiac disease to contend with, though.This does not sound like what Sharon has either--fortunately.Love to you, Cait and to Sharon and all

Gave me an idea for a murder mystery n. I agree I had no bowel problems during my months of GF but it's expensive especially when nothing tastes very good. Btw many celiacs also go cassein free and/or dairy free. I couldn't get to that point ... hugs, Cait

low back pain back

It's baaaack! The low back pain I was having a month ago is back. At that time I discovered the couch I sit on was crooked and when it was fixed the low back pain went away. Now the pain is back but the couch is still fixed. So what the heck is it this time? I'm still have the full bladder feeling and I do have to urinate a lot and often. But my bladder feels full almost all the time. I also am having some bloating. The bloating seems to go along with eating wheat but I'm not positive about that.To compound all of this I still haven't made a decision on what doc to see. I am so darned indecisive on this! What is wrong with me? lol The deal is that I feel good. By that I mean I don't feel sick. No fevers...nothing like that. Tell me what to do! rofl

That's really interesting n. And I agree it would be disease I'd rather not have either. I especially feel sorry for the little kids who have such restricted diets seeing all the crap advertised on tv and their friends eating them as well. I had joined a few GF egroups back when and there were some amazing claims how GFCFDF has helped so many diseases among them autism and ADD ... hugs, Cait

I don't have celiac disease. Thankfully! But I am lactose intolerant, and I can tell you that the soy products are not half bad. Especially the vanilla or chocolate flavored soy milk (especially in coffee...). Although, mostly I use the lactose free (regular) milk products.love/Reb>> Way back in the 1990s--I can no longer find the article on the web--> there was a fascinating story of a Scotland Yard Investigation of a > series of break-ins and thefts, no finger prints.
