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!

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
