Ice breakers -Share your most awkward gluten-free moment!

 

Certainly! Here’s my gluten-free blooper reel:

Title: “The Great Bagel Incident”

Picture this: A cozy Sunday morning. The sun peeking through the curtains, birds harmonizing outside. I’m at a quaint café, sipping my herbal tea (because chamomile is my spirit herb). The menu beckons, and there it is—the holy grail of gluten-free dreams: a bagel.

Scene 1: The Order

Me: “I’ll have the gluten-free bagel with avocado, please.” Waiter: “Sure thing! One gluten-free bagel coming up.”

Scene 2: The Arrival

The plate arrives. Behold! A bagel—golden, toasted, and… suspiciously fluffy. My gluten radar pings. But hey, maybe it’s a miracle bagel, right? I take a cautious bite.

Scene 3: The Revelation

My taste buds scream, “Gluten alert!” It’s like biting into a cloud made of wheat. Panic sets in. I glance at the waiter, who’s busy juggling coffee cups. Do I interrupt his coffee ballet to announce my bagel betrayal?

Scene 4: The Internal Monologue

“Celia,” I tell myself, “you’ve got this. Be assertive. Channel your inner gluten warrior.”

Scene 5: The Bold Move

I clear my throat. “Excuse me, sir. This bagel… it’s not gluten-free.” Waiter (still mid-coffee-juggle): “Oh, really? Are you sure?” Me (fighting gluten-induced brain fog): “Positive. My intestines just did a somersault.”

Scene 6: The Waiter’s Confusion

He squints at the bagel. “But it’s labeled ‘gluten-free’ on the menu.” Me (internally screaming): “gluten-free stands for ‘Gluten Fiasco,’ apparently.”

Scene 7: The Apology Tango

Waiter: “I apologize. Let me get you a proper gluten-free bagel.” Me: “Thank you. And maybe a side of detective skills?”

Scene 8: The Moral of the Story

Always trust your gluten instincts. If a bagel looks too good to be true, it probably is. And remember, fellow celiacs, we’re the Sherlock Holmes of food labels.

Fade out. Cue gluten-free applause. 🎬🥯

Feel free to share your own gluten-free tales—I’m all ears (and taste buds)! 😄🌾

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
