People Do Care!

Last week, Kal, the doctor I work for, asked me what do I get to eat for Thanksgiving. He says, "Can you have pumpkin pie?" I told him that we can but that I have to make it myself, I cant have regular pie crust and that yes, we can have most turkeys, and yes, mashed potatoes and on and on. Well, come to find out, they buy all of us pies for Thanksgiving dinner and he was trying to figure out what to get for me. He hadnt been through this with me cause I started working there on Jan 3rd last year. Anyways, they bought me a turkey breast and right under the ingreds it states--gluten free. His wife Stacey was so proud of herself for finding it. There are good people out there, just give them the chance. This was so nice of them to do something extra for me. Deb

That's so nice! I've had a few nice things happen to me lately. My mother-in-law, who has taken a serious interest in my diet, gave me the Gourmet magazine with the gluten free recipes in it along with all the necessary flours/ingredients for my birthday.

Then yesterday, a student in my freshman English class gave me a copy of the same recipes. She said she had seen them and thought of me.

Two weeks ago, i was talking to a professor I have had for a series of classes while all this has been going on and I told her that I thought my last memo was not that great because I had been glutened. She told me that she couldn't believe the progress I had made in a year. She said last year that I had to ask for an extension on every project and this year I had asked for none. Also, last year, I missed about 25% of the classes and this year, I had only missed one. I walked away amazed because much of the time I feel like I'm not making much progress. Sometimes you lose sight of the big picture in the day to day!

That's a great thing for your boss & his wife to do. It really shows that they care and listen. The first year my husband was diagnosed with celiac disease (not me) my immediate team leader knew the diagnosis; it was October 2003 and that christmas she gave me a gift box containing (wheat) cookie mixes with cookie cutters. I appreciated the thought, but again, she sits right next to me and doesn't listen, unless the conversation is about how wonderful she is, etc.

      Does anybody know of a guide that ranks reevaluates universities and colleges in terms of their accommodation of celiac disease or food allergies?   Thanks in advance for any leads! Valerie

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely? 
    • Scott Adams
      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
