How Strict Do We Need To Be?

Capt'n Morgan seems like a manly choice. Put a parrot on your shoulder and you'd be all set!

You could always try to find the ever elusive gluten-free beers. I have no idea how they taste but I am definitely interested in trying them. I miss beer.

Well, another gluten free day comes to an end.

Almost gluten free i should say. I took a bite of my daughter's baked potato soup, quickly realized it probably contained flour, but didn't feel like spitting it out at the restaurant. Other than this though I'm clean for another day.

I did have to throw away my midday snack before eating it. What idiot decided to put wheat flour in nacho cheese Doritos?

And despite these little missteps, I continue to have such pleasantly normal bowel habits. I am sure only you kindred spirits can fully appreciate the beauty of this.

And enough talk of IQ's. I mean, people with really high IQ's don't hang around celiac message boards talking about manly gluten free alcohol and altoids and bowel movements like we do. But then again, maybe it's just the brain fog.

I will now curl up with my new must read bedtime book "Celiac Disease:A Hidden Epidemic". I'm sure it'll be a best seller. Thanks to LauraJ for the tip.

Google Altoids and you will soon learn the answer to the question.

Karen -Can I just say YOU ROCK! I may have to give up having desert with my friends when we go out (am from french canada, and every social occasion happens around restaurants...am so SICK of watching other people eat decadent foods) but at least I can get LOADED! Wow, great list! That is going straight to the printer.

I have to say, I hate beer (am Canadian, please don't report me, think its a jailable offence here) it has always made me incredibly sick...could it be that the alcohol in the beer speeds the gluten absorption in the gut ???

Anyhoo - my boyfriend LOVES beer and is trying to convince me to try japanese beers (like saporo) he claims that they are made from rice, not wheat.

And for radman (welcome! I am a newbie too and am learning a lot here am hoping you stay as am sure you have lots of info you can share with us. This board is addictive though!)

And for those who wanted to get Radman dancing on the table, maybe we should all chip in a few bucks and buy him one of these:

Open Original Shared Link

And for the record, I love vodka. And I think a man drinking straight vodka is hardcore - beer drinkers look wimpy next to a straight vodka drinker! (patato based of course!)

I think that pole would be great for him but we must keep his knuckle dragging buddies away from it.

Robix - Saporo, which is brewed using rice, is not safe. Do a search to get a lot of info on the product.

Maybe we can get them to donate it for the convention. That is for sure, metal can be hot or cold. PVC not so bad.

We could always spraypaint it chrome...

Nothing says "classy" like a spraypainted PVC pipe in the middle of your living room, eh?

I'm going to have to get black leather couches, black laquered furniture, and lots of faux leapord to go with it! B)

Then not only will you be featured on Jerry Springer but possibly in "Best Livingroom Designs for Trailer Park Homes." :lol:

Although I really do like leather couches. Actually your couches have to be faux leather then that would be better.

Ironed out - can I say a big fat THANK GAWD i can claim the gluten thing to keep my boyfriend from making me drink saporo?! Can I say it again, I hate beer!!! Wooohooo - now I don't have to get nagged about "drinking the right beer".

And as for the PVC pipe - the whole idea is that if you are using it right - no one should be looking at the POLE...ahem. Perhpaps some pasties and well placed tassels on your person will distract them from the spray painted pvc and the leopard print couches? -_-

After all, nothing says classy like tassels! He he he.

Oh, and I recommend covering your couches with plastic for a final touch of pazazz, and practicality.

My mom's landlord actually just bought leopard print couches. Not kidding. She bought them, on purpose, to go with her 70's nasty rust colored shag carpeting. Where does one go to find leopard print couches?!

She doesn't have a pole though...yet :P

It must be strategically placed away from the window not only for privacy but can't have the sun beating down on it and then sit down (OUCH!)! :o

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned the chandalier to swing on and ostrich feathers..... :P

Well,

nothing like reading the, um, interesting posts on the celiac board to get your mind off another day of misery and pain at the shop.

Now, what I had in mind regarding dancing on tables was more of a Greek-type stomp after heavy indulgence with tequila, certainly not something that would require a Little Mynx dance pole. Remember, we've been talking about how a man can be a celiac without losing face with his cretin buddies. I can say with relative certainty that pole dancing will not be compatible with that goal. I mean, we can be observers of pole dancing, but definitely not participators.

At the suggestion of psawyer, I did, in fact, google altoids. Quite eye opening. Intriguing, yes, but I'm not sure what the full moon association may be.

It was during a full moon that the thread in question that brought up the subject of Altoids and their "unique" use, came about. So now, whenever it is a full moon, there are a few of us who put on a "straightjacket" to make sure we behave...... :rolleyes:;)

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
