Who's going to look up a letter in a file if a patient ends up on the emergency table???

i think the medic-alert bracelet/necklace is what you want. If your list is too long to fit, you can list the most important and then add a special call-in number for a medicalert center that will list all your stuff. Personally, I wouldn't worry about intolerances. If you're worried about those, you'd be conscious or have family at your side. i think it's more a matter of what can you NOT survive if they administer something to you in an emergency....

Since you have seizures, I would DEFINITELY do a medical alert bracelet. Even if family is there with you, most likely they won't know all the specifics like you do. My stepmom has really severe hypoglycemia, and most likely wouldn't even survive being given a basic IV in the case of an accident. Her blood sugar dipped down into the high 30's when she did the fasting glucose test. At 30 you fall into a coma. My dad MADE her get a medical alert bracelet. You'd be surprised to see how many different types of medical alert jewlery there is.

I found a few items that allow additional space or other options.

This one, I think is the best idea of them all. So cool! You could put this on any bracelet or necklace -- 25 lines of info!!! It's a little thing the size of a nickel that when you look into it, you can see all that information - Open Original Shared Link

So there are a lot of options other than the basic ones we've all seen.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
