Someone Did Something Nice For Me Today.

I was in my stats class today, and one of my classmates brought in cookies for a birthday (not even hers, someone else in the class).

She knows that I have celiac disease, I sat with her at this reception that we had to go to and I couldn't eat anything they had.

Anyway, she brought in a couple dozen cookies for the whole class, and after she had given those out she came over to me, handed me an orange and said "I know that you can't have the cookies so I brought you this instead."

I thought that was SO nice! I couldn't even believe it, what a thoughtful thing to do. I almost got teary-eyed over it!

That is great! And keep an eye on that classmate. With that ability to grasp the pertinent information and actually apply it, she should do well in her career. I know, I'm always looking for someone willing to actually take the information she's given and use it.

That is super nice! I can top it though! I have a coworker who made a pasta dish for a company potluck and she went to Trader Joe's and got gluten-free pasta to make it with.. and then went out of her way to find gluten-free soy sauce..and then okay'd all of the ingredients w/ me before making it!

Wow, thats really sweet!!

Last year, my friend was bringing in some type of fudge that she makes at home. I mentioned that I had celiac disease before, and she was really nice about it. She told me all of the ingredients and made sure she was really careful about making it. I was so happy and touched that she would do that for me. :D

I almost forgot about the time that my daughter and I were invited to a friends sons birthday party... Because she really wanted us to be able to enjoy the party, she MADE Pamela's gluten-free brownie mix into animal shapes and was very careful about making it, she also had veggie trays and other gluten-free snacks! We were so touched that she made the effort! Friends like that are hard to come by!

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
