- Kwinkle posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders0A question - eggs & dairy
Hello everyone. For those of you that I’ve had a sensitivity develop to eggs and dairy (one or both) I am wondering for those who were able to go back to eating these things how did you discover that it was all right? I have a sensitivity to both, but I really miss eggs and I really miss dairy but I’m afraid to try them again so I’m wondering what other... -
- Waterdance posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms0Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac
Hi and thanks for this place to ask questions. I have been diagnosed with a gluten and milk allergy but so far I have no Celiac diagnosis and honestly I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease. I've come here because I'm having problems and you all would be knowledgeable about gluten free diets. An allergist... -

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...- friends

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...- 1

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.- friends

Hi and thanks for this place to ask questions. I have been diagnosed with a gluten and milk allergy but so far I have no Celiac diagnosis and honestly I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease. I've come here because I'm having problems and you all would be knowledgeable about gluten free diets. An allergist diagnosed me with a gluten and milk allergy about 15 years ago but she said "if you eat a lot of it, don't worry about it." This haunted me because I did not eat a lot of it but it was in my diet. Going 100% gluten free was daunting so I struggled with lowering my intake and observing results when adding it back. Due to aging, I think, the problem is worse now. I know ingesting gluten almost immediately causes a hemorrhoid flare up. It's very painful and I have severe chronic issues with it and even one surgery which did not solve much and the problem came back with vengeance. I know from my own experiments that I can build a tolerance to gluten in my diet but overall if I want to avoid chronic pain and discomfort I should just eliminate it entirely. When it comes to my diet, I found not only gluten to be problematic but all grains! This is terrifying to me. Keeping a grain free diet was difficult and left me hungry all the time. My question for you all is do you have any tips to help me live on a grain free diet sustainably long term? And Do any of you know of or heard of hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea being main symptoms to gluten intolerance? -

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.

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.

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