The Evil Vilain Gluten Strikes Again When You Least Expect It!

Have become gluten obsessed to the point where no matter what happens, I seem to blame it on GLUTEN! Like he is a bad guy stalking me and ruining my day...I wish we had a little gluten cartoon character and we could have a little cartoon superhero kick his butt!

Yesterday I got a parking ticket....yup you got it...it was gluten, striking again when I least expected it!

(My first thought was "damn, can't blame it on gluten...but I will anyway!") LOL! It made me laugh, so I thought I would start a thread where we can just blame EVERYTHING on the evil gluten.

By the way, gluten also made me miss the garbage truck yesterday and also made me spill mustard on my favorite pants, and made me forget my running shoes at home last week when I needed them to teach a class.

He he he he :rolleyes:

Now lets see .... It was gluten that made me forget to mend hubby's pants yesterday ... come to think of it, gluten must be the culprit again today, because the pants are still on my sewing machine. :lol:

It definitely must have been gluten that caused it to be 15 degrees colder, windier and rainier than yesterday - spoiling all plans of planting Oleanders in our backyard! :D

Hilarious - yes, let's blame gluten for every bad thing - -

Even during my sleep, gluten haunts me.....the other night ( I do weird things during my sleep folks) I kept feeling that something awful was trying to get into my bedroom (whilst sleeping) and I HAD to keep it out....yup, it was GLUTEN....so I actually got up, walked out into the living room, grabbed a side chair weighing about 40 pounds or so, and wedged it into the doorway of my bedroom (why I didn't just close the door, I do not know :blink: ). All of this while being pretty much asleep...minutes later my dog was whining outside the door, wanting in. I awoke and saw the chair and realized what had happened.....ABSOLUTE MADNESS. :huh:

Yup, gluten all right.....

Okay, I have to admit to this. Gluten and I are cahoots. I send him off to reak havoc on others lives in hopes he will leave me alone. Now Gluten is not that bright, he forgets where he is to go and he comes and causes me grief.

Remember the old saying "The Devil made me do it." Well we have a new one, "Gluten made me do it." When the police stop you and say, "did you know you were speeding?" You can say, "Gluten made me do it."

Excellent, Rusla, maybe this would explain my 17 speeding tickets (all in the past....proud to say I have a clean record now) :ph34r:

I think it's only fair that I start blaming everything on the gluten--after all, look what it's put me through :D . Gluten--consider the tables turned! B)

Gluten is rude, gluten stinks. Gluten is arrogant and self-absorbed. Gluten sets off to make our lives a living torture. Gluten is a terrorist and thinks it is better than everyone else.

Gluten is a bully and makes us drive fast.

So on our t-shirts above;" #5, with added attractions" we should have "Gluten made me do it." On the back, "Gluten Busters"

Yes, now that I am not at work. Gluten messed up the whole day there and worse than that I could smell it, it smells like trouble and I yelled"gluten, you evil beast stay away from me.' Then being possessed by all that is evil it made me spend copious amounts of money on gluten-free food and chocolate.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
