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)! 😄🌾

Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?
I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young... -

Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?
Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply -

Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?
Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following... -

Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?
Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly...
