I Survived!

I hope you all are having a great weekend!

I survived my first gluten-free lock in with my girl scouts! I didn't get glutened!

They all had papa john's pizza, so I brought my own chebe crust & toppings. My co-leader and the parent that were there were good about not making me handle the glutened pizza, or potentially glutened popcorn.

The girls didn't even ask why I had a different pizza :huh:

the funny thing is that when I told the parent I had celiac disease, she looked at me as if my best friend had just died and said, "Oh my God, I am so sorry! That's just awful!"

I was thinking, not so much. You're the one that has to eat the papa john's, and I have my gourmet pesto pizza. Poor me. :rolleyes:;)

I have a feeling the camping trips might prove to be more of a challenge...

How have you guys handled such situations, ie parties, sleepovers with kids, etc?

I haven't had to deal with camping or sleepover situations yet... but last night my daughter went to a Father Daughter dinner dance that was catered, and I talked to the co chair of the event (just so happens she used to work at the daycare my daughter went to, so she's known her since she was a baby) and I got the menu for the dinner and I sent her food with my husband... he delivered her meal to this lady (Sherry) and she made sure that she served my daughter herself, at the appropriate time and put her meal on a pretty plate like everyone elses! My daughter felt so special and no one else noticed that she wasn't having the same thing, because it looked close enough! I love it when a plan comes together like that!

Nini--what a sweet story :) . I'm so happy that she felt 'normal' and you all should be so proud that it all happened the way it did. I'm sure your daughter will remember the Father/Daughter Dance for the rest of her life.

I hope so! I'm just glad she had a good time and that the food was not the focus of the evening, and she didn't have to worry about it! I heard from her daddy that at one point she was dancing with her friends and some other dads were commenting on how they could really dance! (my daughter has taken dance since she was 3...)

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
