Hi i'm new to this, my girlfriend has been diagnosed for 2 years now with celiac disease and with me being a  non celiac. I try my hardest to still keep eating gluten but also try to not get her sick.I'd rather have her happy and healthy than eat gluten though.  It's hard because i hate seeing her sick and miserable. Any suggestions would be great.  Along with the celiac disease my girlfriend is also allergic to yeast (cross reactive or it acts the same as gluten) and is also allergic to dairy,soy,peanuts,eggs.

IMHO the best way to handle this is for you to only eat gluten when you're away from home. Brush your teeth very well before kissing her after you've eaten any gluten or any of her allergens.

It's wonderful that you are supporting her so! 

Read the Newbie 101 in the Coping section & that will give you a lot of tips. Be sure to follow & read the links contained in that.

Yes, even a tiny exposure to gluten can cause a flare-up.  I understand that this spice is usually diluted with wheat flour.  It is best to contact the manufacturer or find a certified gluten free source.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
