A few years after DX

you'll see it's all just BS

it's no big deal to be us...

You're just a celiac.

 

 

Just stay the course and eat well

You'll heal and all will be well

it's not the be-all/ end-all

To be a celiac.

 

 

Okay...listen to me, now  I can't come up with any rhymes when I know you're hurtin.  So I am going to speak honestly.

 

It's not who you are, hon. It's just something we live with. It doesn't define you, confine you or make you "different" unless you let it.

 

Why are you blue today? Something causes that. Tell us. Maybe we can help.

Thanks Irish - just tired of talking about it, thinking about it, explaining it, shopping for it, planning around it, etc. etc.  It's become the usual topic of idle conversation with people... kinda like talking about the weather used to be.

I'll shake it.  It actually helped just to add it to the ongoing "Ode".  :)

Then, stop talking about it with people. Even us, if it is too much. It's okay.

 

We all take vacations from it.

 

In my "real life", I never talk about celiac. :D  I just live.

 

I talk about it on here because I am helping. Otherwise, it's just "normal" life.

 

Time. Heals. All.

Yes.. sometimes you need a break from talking about it. Just live. I needed this reminder, too. Thanks Irish.

I think because it is so new for people that know me they're still thinking about it a lot... which is actually pretty sweet.  I've already gotten 3 gluten-free cookbooks for XMas and my boyfriend keeps spotting gluten-free options on various menus, etc. that he never noticed before.  It's just part of me is like...  Enough.  Already.  I took it in stride... why can't you?  (How about those Green Bay Packers??)  :)

(And if my mother leaves me one more voicemail about food, or nutrition, or Celiac, or symptoms... I'm gonna scream.  Either that or the phone is getting launched out the window...)

Hi GC,

 

It sounds like you have  some people in your life who want to help in some way.  That's pretty neat really.  No need to shut them down right away IMHO.  Maybe you can get some free gluten-free cookies out of the deal! :)

 

I hope you don't mind some additions to your ode of love...

 

The newbies are confus-ed
They don't know what whole foods is
They feed their gut bugs sugar
and call it gas attack!

The oldsters try and tell 'em
Don't feed those nasty villians
Stick to the plain and simple
Food for us celiacs.

and you're right... they're only trying to be supportive and helpful... just needed to vent - better to vent to you guys than tear someone's head off for trying to be nice  :ph34r:

There are more celiacs and NGCSers who get NO support than those who have family and friends who give a shyte enough to

take it seriously and want to show support, so

yes, consider yourself blessed. :) My best peep gets it and there's no gluten being served during her 4 course dinner tomorrow.

I helped making some of the dishes and all the desserts and none of the guests even care it's all G F.

 

Some family members make this very, very difficult for celiacs and Christmas is going be a pain in the butt for those poor peeps.

 

(Thank the heavens booze is gluten free).

 

Merry Christmas and God Bless Us, Everyone. ;)

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Toothpaste question.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.
