You Eat What You Want When You Want To!

This is exactly what my mother said to me the other day when I turned down an egg containing candy, telling her that I could not eat it.  Oh how I wanted to throttle her!  I got angry and said that I most certainly do not.

 

Now...  I do have diabetes and there have been times when I have eaten more carbs than I know I should have.  Or just eaten period when I shouldn't have.  But...  You will never catch me eating something that I know will make me sick!  Even if there is a modicum of uncertainty about some food, I will decline it.  I do not like being sick.  And many were the times when I had to suffer through a meal with people all around me munching on things that would make me ill.  And sometimes I wanted those things.  But I would not eat them.  *sniff*

 

She just kept right on arguing with me about it and then yelling at me that she was not going to argue.  I was sorely tempted to say, "Then why are you doing it?"  But I have said that once before and it didn't bode well for me. 

 

But what really gets me is that she has food issues herself.  Over the years she has told us that she has allergies or sensetivities or intolerances or whatever she wants to call them at the moment.  And yet she will eat those same foods.  She tells us she can not have tomato.  So she orders food in a Mexican restaurant and tells them to leave off the sauce and the tomatoes.  And then she will go dipping her chips into my pico de gallo, or the salsa and she almost always has a side of gaucamole.  Now perhaps guacamole doesn't always have tomato in it but you can tell by looking at it that this does!  Or she will announce that she won't be eating any eggs and then orders waffles!  She doesn't cook so I think she doesn't really know what ingredients are in what food and just doesn't care. 

 

But for her to say that I eat something just because I want it?  Oh...  Grrrr!

 

Foo birds!

      @lizzie42, I have dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks when I am exposed to foods high in iodine.  Iodine can cause dermatitis herpetiformis to flair up badly.  So I avoid high iodine foods like dairy products, crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster, shellfish), Eggs, and iodized table salt.  Spinach,  potatoes, kale, and kelp are high in iodine, too. The antibodies that cause dermatitis herpetiformis are tTg 3 IgA.  The tests for Celiac Disease measure tTg 2 IgA antibodies.  The dermatitis herpetiformis tTg3 antibodies can hang around for two years or more and become more active when exposed to iodine without having gluten present.  Dermatitis Herpetiformis is pressure sensitive and are apt to form under tight clothing like belts, bras and underwear, seams on tight clothing, etc.   I find tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite gluten free brand) eases the itching and helps heal the blisters without scaring.  Niacin Vitamin B 3 helps the body rid itself of the dermatitis herpetiformis antibodies.  Niacin is one of eight essential B vitamins which should all be supplemented together because they all work together in concert.  Niacin is instrumental in the body's production of Serotonin, the feel good neurotransmitter.  The body turns Niacin into Tryptophan, which is used to make Serotonin.  So when I have dermatitis herpetiformis flairs, I also take Tryptophan at bedtime, and Niacin and a B Complex during the day.   Hope this helps!  I know how miserable dermatitis herpetiformis can be.

      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.

      hi Ya Trent, I really like my gastroenterologist; he mentioned it casually. maybe he thought I knew it. These tele appointments are good for getting to the point. I think he used the marker word. I will ask. PTL.

      @MegRCxx, it is common for people with celiac disease to have other food intolerances as well. Most common offenders are oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy. Soy, eggs and corn are less common but not rare. So, factor into your consideration.

      Thank you @Scott Adams!! I will definitely have a read through these! If anyone is curious to what i had eaten and am worried about it was the tescos finest frozen bourginoun and creamy mash, only allergen stated was milk but it does contain yeast extract which i am aware can be a bit of an odd one. Once again thank you 🙏🏻
