I'm having one of those days where I have an insatiable urge to snack.

Like, serious snacking. Like, go to the grocery store on the way to work to get *A* snack for the work day. I packed my lunch, too, with ample snacks.

My trek through HEB went like this (pretend you're reading my thoughts as I'm shopping)...

Walk in the door, ooooh, those blackberries look good! And they're on sale pick up the natural, healthy blackberries

,

walk down the cereal aisle, check the cocoa puffs box. It looks gluten-free, cool, I'll have to remember that. But some people are getting sick, so maybe not

On to the candy aisle, dammit, all the Lindt chocolate has malt in it, bastards. Oooh! When did HEB start selling endangered species chocolate? (Pick up a dark chocolate raspberry bar.) Wait a minute, I hate dark chocolate. Oh well, I'll get it anyway.

On to the refridgerated aisle I really want some kozy shack tapioca pudding. I didn't know they came in 6 packs! (pick up the 6 pack of pudding) (keep in mind, I'm on my way to work)

OK, I'm going to be late. On to the checkout, hold the phone! They added an organic section! AND THEY HAVE TONS OF ENER-G BREAD! Why isn't this in my HEB near home? I'll remember that, oooh, they have those sesame cruch thingys I like, and they're gluten-free! Awesome! (pick up the package of JoYva sesame crunch)

OK, really need to check out. The line is long, why do they only have two registers open, A kosher section and deli, are you kidding me? The Dell's must shop here, rich bastards. Wow, look at all this stuff! I don't have any more room in my hands.

I finally check out, the guy forgets to give me change, and I arrive to work 10 minutes late.

I'm snarfing the heck out of all of this food at my desk :P I never eat like this, WTF??!?!?!

the cocoa puffs are NOT gluten-free.

but I am LOL at "reading your mind" as you were shopping! I've done that! I have some days where all I wanna do is snack.

Like today... I've pigged out on jelly beans, cheetos, Enjoy Life snack bars, tater tots, banana chips... OMG... somebody STOP ME!

it must be in the air----i was eating dry cocoa pebbles out of a cup----would have had a candy bar if there was one in the house!!

how many of you get the munchies when your not even hungry? i HATE when that happens---which is much too often-----sometimes i chew ice--------so i can think i am eating without getting calories.

      Gluten free beer ?

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would...

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac...

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed...

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife!

There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!
