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!

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
