Yesterday, I let DS (3) have some of my pasta for his lunch as he's always wanting whatever I've got instead of what he's got. I said: you've got some of mummy's special pasta. DS said: but I don't like it. I asked him why and he replied: cos it's got gluten-free in it :lol::D He also said later to DH: mummy's gluten free....to eat!! he's now making sure everything I eat is gluten-free. :) I'm so proud of him. Unfortunately, though, when I sneaked some chocolate later in the day, he came upstairs and found me, gave me a big hug and observed that I smelled of chocolate. Can't have chocolate on the sly anymore..

When I first started this I was sitting down to dinner one day and my 8 year old saw me drinking a glass of water and said "can you have that? Is it gluten-free?" :lol:

Thats so cute. My 9 year old son is always making sure my food gluten free. He eats a lot of my food and likes most of it.

I should have added that DS ate every last bit of the pasta. He loves my gluten-free free stuff :D

I love kids!!

My daughters 5 and 3 always ask if this or that is gluten free! It makes me feel good that they want to "take care" of mommy! They have both agreed that their birthday cakes (coming this summer) should be gluten free- so mommy can have some! Like I said I Love Them!!!!!!

Isn't it so wonderful, that our kids care so much!?! My teenagers help me read labels in the grocery store.

Isn't it amazing what our kids absorb from us? My nine year-old has diagnosed more unknowing celiacs than I have, I think, including his teacher, who he heard complaining of tiredness and abdominal pain, and a boy on his baseball team who was also complaining of the classic symptoms. What extraordinary kids we have!

Kids are way smarter than educated grown ups! :)

They haven't had time to get dumb ideas in their heads yet...

ChelsE- You are so funny.

Mine is my 76 year old Dad- who getss it as best as he can. One day at lunch the waitress brought over a loaf of bread and he looked at her in complete horror and said, 'she can't have that- she's gluten-free," The waitress replied, "Yes, sir, but you can." :P he was like oh yeah, right.

That is sooo cute! :lol:

My daughter Eileen, who is 12, thinks anything and everything that is gluten free just sucks.

Well, for Easter dinner, when my Mom was making the gravy, I gave her my gluten free flour mix and my gluten free stock to put in the gravy as Mom had forgotten to bring the stuff to make the gravy (It's made from the juice in the turkey pan and since the turkey has stuffing in it, I never have the turkey or gravy anyway.......)

Well, we are all sitting down eating and there were three different compliments on how this is the best gravy Mom had made to date. Even Eileen chimed in that it tasted delicious! Mom and I were chuckling the whole time! I couldn't keep it in any longer and told everyone that it my gluten free stuff that created such a wonderful tasting gravy. Eileen's jaw dropped onto her plate! :lol:

Hugs.

Karen

My son is too young yet to have those little idiosyncrasies. But for a laugh, my family exchanges colored Easter eggs on Easter. We write the persons name on it.. and color it and just give it to them.. I got 2 eggs this year, one was a pink one with my name on it. The other was not colored with Gluten Free written on it. I got quite a chuckle out of that.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
