How About A Reward For Avoiding Getting Glutened!

I've decided that I want some sort of reward for avoiding accidental glutenings, like they have chips in AA.

But rather than rewarding years, it would have to be months.

Your returning good health is a reward. :)

 

But I know that's not what you mean. How about choosing a really tasty gluten-free treat ? Something like Udi's double chocolate muffins. They are SOOOOO GOOOOOD! You wouldn't want to eat them all the time because they are high in calories and low in nutrition, but as an occasional treat to reward yourself, hey, why not?

Yeah, Udis products do taste good, though after my initial "buy anything to avoid feeling deprived" phase in the first few months, and then the "buy really extravagant raw ingredients for my own cooking" phase in the next few, I think I've finally settled into a more regular pattern that is low on sweets and less expensive.

I suppose I could do new kitchen gadgets/pans/utensils instead of chips. Next up is a really good cutting board. The bamboo ones aren't so good for the environment if they just fall apart within a year.

GottaSki - You rock!!!

I always thought that not feeling like chit for days was a pretty damn good reward. Maybe I'm not as sensitive to this issue as I thought.

Most days that is the perfect reward...then there are the times we need more -- Cheer! Gadgets! or Sparkly/Shiny things.....

 

then there are those days where we need to have a pity party and stomp our feet...only advice there is Duck and Cover ;)

So how long do I have to be gluten-free to not be considered a newbie?

I'm close to the nine month mark, though only about four months since my last major accidental glutening (learning the hard way that restaurant's gluten-free menus are not gluten-free), and about two since a minute contamination incident (I actually watched them wash everything they used to prepare my salad!!!)

Hmmm...no official promotion timeline that I am aware of....you certainly sound a few clicks past Newbie to me.

 

If we are talking rewards...I'm thinking an appropriate chart might be:

 

one week

one month

three months

six months

one year

each year thereafter....

 

oops and nine months of course ;)

 

guess that means it is time for more than one gadget!

yes, maybe you are not exactly a "newb"  after all. :) my bad for using the phrase" newbie" in this case.

 

I only meant it with mother- hennish affection.

 

Sometimes, I honestly still think of myself as being a newbie when I learn something new about this disease process.

 

in any case, I think you should most def reward yourself in any way you like.!!

 

I mark every milestone and every symptom-resolution with a celebration. Why not?. ;)

I'm kind of liking the reward idea. I'm thinking go the potty training calender route. Get a pack of those teacher stars and start popping them on the calender every day. Then go kitchen shopping at the end of every month for a mini-gadget. Every so often, we can all set our own timelines, get something super cool. ^_^

I agree.....and as you know, I marked 2 years by swimming with dolphins.  :) (hey, what can I say? I have a lot of kitchen gadgies, so.... I thought "bigger"? )

Nine months? What kind of reward are you looking for?

And no, I didn't take you seriously. In fact, I think rewarding oneself is a great idea.

If the wifey makes the week without poisoning herself, maybe I'll get her something shiny.

Daddy wants a new deep fryer. WOOT WOOT!

Deep Fryer sounds good...purrfect for that three year badge you all have going on over there.

Hmmm...after the reminder of the great Dolphin adventure I think I had better come up with something better than the spiralizer I treated myself to this year...oh wow next one will be my 5th SillyBday...

it's like I'm writing this  :) did that buy anything phase already, and now I'm in the extravagant raw phase.  I went to Whole Foods the other week and bought fruits and veggies I've never seen like a purple potato and quince just because.  I'm looking forward to that less expensive phase  :lol:

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      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.
