What the hell am I supposed to do when dating non celiacs.. Take them to a gluten free restaurant? I know theyres many gluten free options at nice restaurants where we can both be satisfied. But what if a girl wants to go to a cheap pizza joint. This sucks.

For one, if you are dating someone they need to be informed of your Celiac and explained in detail just what it does to your body.  Many people have been glutened by their significant others from eating gluten and forgetting to brush their teeth.

For two, if you explain your condition to a girl and they still want to go to a pizza joint are they even worth dating?

Just my thoughts.

Hi Aidan,

I understand that there is going to be a level of suck involved, but there are tactful ways around awkward interactions you can deploy.  First, get your solid diagnosis and with a little time you will become more comfortable with what to do dining on your own... then you can extend those skills to the dating world when it comes up.  Most girls are not going to object if you pull the romantic thing and offer to take care of dinner plans and surprise them... it can be at a gluten-free friendly restaurant, a home cooked meal and a movie at your place, or a nicely packed romantic picnic by you that happens to be gluten-free.

 

There is another recent discussion on this, check out this thread:

Summer time is easier than winter.

• Movies: Can sneak in your own food.

• Hiking/canoeing/kayaking: Active dates are supposed to make for good dates - something about the physical activity translating to enjoyment, making them like you more than if you were just sitting in a restaurant.

• Picnics: Bring your own food. I often bring hand-made salami, cheese, and crackers to gatherings to share with everyone, then make sure I get enough before it is gone.

• Have them come to you? Cook at home?

• Ice Skating in winter. 

If you bring food, that also means that they didn't eat any gluten and you can move in for a kiss at will.

Also, if the dates that you take them on are different than the standard fair, then they'll probably end up being more impressed. I agree that gluten free will likely do more to weed out the people who aren't worth dating than it will affect the relationship ... once you find a keeper.

Yep....this sucks.....yet?

I am not being preachy....this comes from years of teen and young adult kid experience...

dude! Turn it to your advantage.....girls....for better or worse are interested in what the gluten free diet can do for them.

Arm yourself with knowledge..........need help, then ask. We will always help.

      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!
