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!

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/
