Quick Thank You

I thought I should just write a quick thank you to all of you out there on this board. Over the past 4 months of utter confusion about the diet...and not exactly complete understanding from my family (who's actually very wonderful, but just a bit clueless - a friend said to me on the phone yesterday "Hey, it'll be great when you grow out of this and can eat normal again in a few years")....I've learned more on this board than I've been able to anywhere else.

Anyway - to your health - AmandaD

Amanda, I agree with you wholeheartedly! My doctor handed me a pamplet when I was diagnosed, and that was the guidance I had - I didn't understand about cross contamination at all, and was still being glutened often. Thanks to this board, I feel like I'm becoming a pro, slowly but surely.

I want to thank some of you new Celiacs as well, you are bringing up things that I haven't thought of in years. Like 17 years ago I was told not to drink root-beer because it has malt, so I never bothered checking into the new products. So, just this morning from a new Celiac I learn that I can have A&W root beer. :lol: A&W ... here I come. I think I'll bring a bottle home and make a float. gluten-free ice-cream of course.

I agree, you guys are the best! I love when someone asks a question that i know the answer to, b/c it makes me so happy to be able to give back to those that have gotten me through the past 7 months! I have no idea how hard this would have been w/o this board, but thankfully, ill never have to know. You all rock! :D

I think I learn something new EVERY DAY on this site. It is the best for dealing with all the issues that surround the confusion of having to live this gluten free life in a gluten filled world.

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
