I swear if anybody in myhouse eats my food one more time I am gonna go to the store and buy my own refregerator, nuwave cooktop and nuwave oven. I will fix all my stuff in my room. They just don't care but them eating my food means there is a day I go without supper. I can't just go to a snack machine or just fix a microwave dinner. All my food is budgeted. They know it makes me sick if I eat something else,m they just don't care. I have to work to pay for my food and one day I cave in because I am starving and weak and running on fumes at work, means I spend the next week ill.

Am I the only one who sometimes feels as if the people who are supposed to love you the most don't care if they make you ill? On top of this, one of the very few people in my life who listens and cares about me just died in a car accident and I am beginning to feel that I wish it were me instead. Of her. This suffering seems endless and a lost cause. I am on a rollercoaster of anger, hurt, depression and I don't know how long I can hold onto hope :'(

I am sorry for the loss of your friend :( Some people are very special and make such a difference in our lives. Hang in there, and don't let the grieving get you down too far.

Family can be very thoughtless and inconsiderate. Try to be rational with them rather than angry, if you can. Print our your post here and give it to them, so that they can understand in a moment of reflection what they are doing to you and how bad it makes you feel. Chin up a bit, Razzle, you can do this !!

Awww ((((hugs)))) hang in there! Losing a friend is always a terrible thing, but we're all glad to still have you here. :wub:

You aren't the only one to get mad, or upset about stuff like that. I about blew my top this evening when I found a bunch of my stuff in the "deli" drawer of the fridge. You know... the one everyone else in the house gets into while handling bread. But eating my stuff? I'd lose it. You're right, we don't have options. I try to talk to people about things like this when I'm not mad, that way I don't freak out and make them not listen to me. It is possible that they just don't realize they are being inconsiderate jerks. Of course, you need to be all PC and not actually use those words when you talk to them, no matter how appealing. :P

Thanks to the both of you for your encouragement. Tried to post sooner but had problems with replying so I gave up. My brother is psycho...literally. He has gone crazy and there is no talking to him. It is like talking to a drunk. If i get stern he could fly off the handle and punch a hole in the wall or who knows what. Not being able to assert myself with someone who is very selfish and egocentric leaves me feeling trapped. Yesterday I came home and my coconut milk is completely empty because he drank all their milk then mine. He makes excuses and says he doesnt know whats mine. Really?! when in our entire life has mom ever bougt coconut milk or anything besides dairy? When has she bought brown eggs? When has mom ever made burgers out of turkey meat?

There is absolutely nothing I can do about it but it causes anxiety when I think about him messing with my stuff. I am a CNA and if i get glutened bad enough I dont want to lose my job because my stupid brother got into my crap as if there is not enough food in this house for him to eat. Hhh I am thinking about asking my aunt if I can move in with her because there is also mold all in this house making me ill

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.
