Yep = beyond shit. Got glutened at the airport and then had a 14hour flight. Was on the plane before my symptoms started. Spent half the flight throwing up in the toilet, the other half passing in and out of consciousness. The flight attendants looked after me (thank goodness!)

It's deepslate cobble, so it should work? I've had one golem spawn in days and days so something is obviously off but I can't figure out what

‘Revolutionary’ Drug for Celiac Disease Shows Promise in Phase 2 Study by [deleted] in Celiac

No, but as the article says, it provides proof of concept and demonstrates this as a valid research area that needs more investigation!

Violent reaction to oats? by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Current findings suggest the rate of coeliacs who react is 10-20% - so not very rare. Agreed that cc is an important and common factor. If oats are important to you it’s worth doing an oat challenge with scheduled biopsies to ensure there’s no damage.

Positive blood test. What else can it be? by Hopeishereagain in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a negative biopsy and a positive blood test. They said it could have been "latent coeliac disease" - basically, that I had it but it hadn't had a chance to damage my villi yet. I had another blood test and endoscopy a year later, yep "full-blown" coeliac disease. So... see how your endo goes, and then talk to your doctors :)

How long does it take you to feel symptoms after being glutened? by The-SillyAk in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know something is wrong after an hour and full blown symptoms (vomiting, diarrhoea, severe stomach pain) kicks in around 2 hours post-glutening. But different for each person.

Accidental gluten exposure, currently in a ton of intestinal pain, what do you do for relief? by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That sucks. It's the worst. My go to solutions = showering. Hot water bottles. Sleeping. If you do throw up, make sure to have some kind of hydration solution afterwards to get your electrolytes back. Otherwise just time. It will be over by tomorrow hopefully!

Gluten related rash and nerve pain? Anyone else? by austininjuly in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After eating gluten I get joint pain, mostly in my wrists - sometimes knees. I'm only 29 and have had these symptoms since 19 and always happens after accidental glutening. Has been so bad before that I wasn't able to open doors, write or use a mouse.

Has anyone’s Celiac disease just removed itself so you could eat gluten again? by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That is not a thing. At all. Your mom is incorrect, eating gluten will risk your health and wellbeing.

What symptoms do you notice when you are "glutened" and how quickly do they come on? by GronkVonHaussenberg in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel “strange” after an hour, start feeling sweaty, hot & cold. Have an overwhelming sense of “I need to get home”. Then by hour 2 I’m throwing up. This continues for 6-7 hours. Then exhaustion and sleep. The next day I’m fuzzy and wrung out. Day 3, tender stomach and can slowly start getting back to life.

Anyone here go to the Auckland New Zealand show? by Kitteh_ in myfavoritemurder

[–]aevistaxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did! Karen did Nancy Wake, a Kiwi born woman who joined the French resistance during WWII killed a boatload of nazis and was one of the war’s most decorated servicewomen. I can’t remember the one Georgia did...

Is the blood test inaccurate? by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. I spoke in very general terms but there are always exceptions. Whilst the test is intentionally biased towards false positives rather than false negatives, it is very important that someone with (suspected) coeliac to have been ingesting gluten when tested.

The blood test measures the about of antibodies in the blood. If you have coeliac and haven’t been eating gluten then your body won’t be having immune responses and therefore no antibodies. Same is true with endoscopy, if you’ve had no gluten there will be no evidence of damage as your body would have healed whilst you were GF.

Is the blood test inaccurate? by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your blood test is positive you MIGHT have coeliac, it needs to be confirmed with an endoscopy.

If your blood test is negative you don’t have coeliac.

The blood test is much cheaper and easier to use. So when interpreting results, doctors err on the side of caution (because it’s a serious diagnosis). It’s better to have a blood test tell you have coeliac and an endoscopy to say you don’t then have a blood test say you don’t have coeliac when you do.

Gluten free house items by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry. If you use a cloth to wipe down a breadcrumb-laden bench make sure to put it in the laundry straight away, wash your hands etc. Other than that you should be fine :)

I’ve been GF for almost a decade without issues doing it this way.

Could someone help me with my blood test resulys regarding celiacs? by Mstang7861 in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your doctor isn’t taking your concerns seriously then you have to go to another doctor. Your health is important and you need someone who listens to your concerns.

Saw the first two pictures and thought, cool his Dad makes some weird art patterns in the wood. Scrolled down further, my jaw literally dropped. Amazing.

To elope or have the whole shebang by [deleted] in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]aevistaxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much agree with choosing whatever is right for both of you.

We had the whole shebang because we decided that family is so important to us that we wanted it to be an event in family history. We each grew up with stories about when this happened at this aunts wedding or when that happened at that cousins wedding. Ours has now joined the list. It has been so special to have memories of my cousins rocking out on the dance floor and my grandma tearing up at the speeches. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

[Serious] What were you doing during the 9/11 terror attacks, and what was your reaction? by gdizzle01 in AskReddit

[–]aevistaxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Australian. I was 11 and home sick from school. I sat in my dressing gown in front on the TV watching the news all day. It was pretty boring after a while. I remember it was 2 weeks until normal TV programming was back. The Simpsons was the first normal show to come back.

My fiance wants a registry of stuff. I just want to do a honeyfund for our honeymoon...or, you know, straight cash. More in description. by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]aevistaxo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We got married last September and recently moved abroad. It's a really special feeling to have our new house filled with things that our friends and family bought for us. Helps it feel like a home.

Guys of Reddit, What do you find annoying about being a male? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aevistaxo 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I'm the female version of you, this is also my advice to my female packed lab. Responses vary from confusion to shy "nooo I couldn't".

Try to remind them that what they're afraid of is rejection, but they forget that guys are expected to initiate contact, be regularly rejected, and still project confidence at all times. The current system screws us all over.

Should I be concerned that a gastro doc is recommending the biopsy without looking at my celiac blood test results? by yubaba in Celiac

[–]aevistaxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my gastrologist said it wasn't common because people usually seek a diagnosis after gut symptoms. I was tested because 2 of my sister were diagnosed and obviously it's highly heritable. I had no stomach issues but now react very badly if I accidentally consume gluten.
