Hey there!

I went to a friends place that is super out of the way to make music, I am still healing and can barely walk and have a ton of body pain, but thought "who cares, lets jam" I was all proud to come armed with my lunch and while we ate outside I turned my head to look at the gorgeous fall leaves rustling in the sun. I turned back to eat my vegan/low fodmap/soy,lactose & gluten free (bloody specific) lunch only to discover my friends cat not only eating my food with his gluten tongue, but one paw inside my tupperware and other paw on my fork, it was really hilarious. Yeah it really sucked, but it was funny. 

CC in this case was Cat Contamination.

Although I don't find the stupid gluten jokes that comedians tell funny at all, I was thinking hearing funny stories from each other could be fun! Any others?

Hope you are all well!

When my daughter started preschool 15 years ago, she had already been Gluten-free Casein-free for 2+ years. We patiently explained the whole story to the teacher: she can't eat anything not provided by us without Mom's prior approval (which was seldom granted), etc.

Mom visited the classroom on day 2 as a once-a-week volunteer. She discovered the entire class enjoying a sensory experimentation day: touching and feeling lots of different household materials to experience and understand them. Our daughter was covered from hair to pants with...wheat flour. Play-Doh was at the next station.

After a short panic, Mom washed her off with a washcloth and changed her clothes. Daughter had not ingested anything because she was well trained, although it was miraculous she didn't breath enough in, or just lick her lips. We learned that day that her sensitivity did not extend to skin contact.

We laugh about it now...

davemill,

OMG the poor dear! Thankfully your daughter has great parents.

I am happy to hear you laugh about this now :) I am also glad your daughter was diagnosed early.

Thanks for your story. If I don't laugh at some celiac related things I am afraid that I will become a curmudgeon ! It is such a frustrating disease to have, always explaining, educating, not being taken seriously, being in pain, so many symptoms etc etc. 

Have a great evening/day depending where you are!

I'm sorry for your pain. Regarding the rest, the physicist Richard Feynman wrote a great book, "Open Original Shared LinkIt's very much in the spirit of your topic here, actually.

      Does this mean those could raise IgA and TTG IgA in celiacs?   
    • thejayland10
      One lab said normal range for IgA is 45-325 and TTG IgA anything above 15 means positive for Anitbody    For this one my IGA was 415 and TTG IgA 16.3    The other lab 3 months later said IgA range is 75-425 and TTG IgA anything below 20 is negative, 20-30 weak positive, 30+ positive.  For this one my IGA was 456 and TTG IgA 30.2 CU

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten...

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me.  So frustrating!!
