Dumb Family, Doctor Gone...

*sighs grumpy sighs*.

Some of my family just never learns, and never cares!

I went over to my auntie and uncle's place today, and me and my Baba made some gluten-free pyrogies, so I was there all afternoon.

As soon as I got there I showed Auntie my marks from college, and she said they were good, but jumped straight to giving me a huge lecture about how I should be working. She pretty much said that my stomach is do excuse, and scoffed at me because I said I'm trying to run around with doctors. She doesnt even believe that I have anything wrong with me, that I dont need to be talking to specialists or nothing, I should be getting a summer job instead.

And then before we started the pyrogies I was wiping the cupboard, and seriously, 3 times today she actually MADE FUN OF ME because mom told her the one time I got sick from some bread comes coming in contact with me food. Not just joke about it, MADE FUN OF. She said "oh dont worry, these are just mushrooms, they are breadcrumbs, they wont kill you" in such a sarcastic voice.

GAH!!!

OH and I found out today that my family doctor has left town for good...I'm completely screwed now. I'm not kidding you. Since he was the one who referred me to the specialist, he was the only one who could send more letters (I tried to get other docs to do it before). I had gone in there before asking about the letters and none of the other docs knew anything about it...When I talked to that government Representative, she wrote down he was my doctor (because she need to discuss with who referred me)...now I dont know WHAT I WILL DO!

I'm sorry. Please ignore your annoying family members. They sound ignorant, and just because they are family does NOT mean that they are right. (You know that, of course!)

As for doctors, maybe you'll get lucky, though you might need to drive a bit farther. :-( I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Sorry to hear about your doc leaving, its hard to find one that really understands. And for your Auntie, she should feel awful about her actions. You should have said to her " Dear auntie, do you truly love me? If so then I do have an illness that makes me very sick. I know you may not understand it fully but please try to understand that I do know what will happen if I get glutened.You wouldn't want to be the one who causes me pain now would you!!" Maybe a guilt trip might soften her thought process a bit.

Now to the best part of your story!!!!!!! Can you please please send me your recipe for pierogi's. My family is wanting them sooooo bad.....And we will love you forever.............

If you are willing to share the recipe please pm to me.

I'm sorry you had this happen. I was worried my family would do that too, but so far they have been accomodating.... give it a few months and I may be in your shoes.

Now, what I want to know is about a gluten free pierogies recipe! My daughter is Russian, and I have a box of gluten filled ones in my freezer. I'd love to be able to make them where I could eat them, or even make pelmeni with it. Can you pass it on?

Honestly, if I had a recipe for the pyrogies, I'd give you them. Someone here in Saskatchewan (the company is called KayBee) makes a pre-mix for them, so I just buy those premixes and add eggs/oil/water to make a cup of liquid to each packag,e and then make them like you would normal pyrogies..

Wish I could help you more with that!

So that Client Representative called me this morning.

She talked to the receptionist of the GIs office, and they HAVE looked at my files there.

She said the problem is, my referral letters are not specific enough to give the GI reason to see me sooner.

I told her that the blood didnt start until after the last letter was already sent.

I explained that my family doctor who referred me in the first place is gone for good...

Her suggestion is have the ultrasound (next week), and when the results come back go and see my other family doctor, get HIM to send another letter to the GI or actually phone the GI to discuss my results and explain how I am getting worse and include the fact about blood.

She said I could always call her again if I have anymore questions...

Theres my update!

Oh Lisa, I am sorry you are still having such a hard time with this and getting the run around from Dr.s, hopefully you can persuade whoever needs to be persuaded to get you the care that you need. I'm so sorry about your auntie's insensitive comments, believe me, I get them from my family all the time. EVEN THOUGH they can see the obvious improvements in my health off of gluten. I have aunts and uncles and even my mom, sister, cousins, and nieces and nephews that I am convinced all have problems with gluten, but they don't take me seriously. My sister tries really hard to make gluten-free things for me and my daughter, but inevitably she conveniently forgets to check one critical ingredient and thinks it won't matter. (It usually does matter)... oh well. All I can offer you is cyber {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}} and hope that this gets better for you.

Thanks Lisa & gabby & Patti for helping me !!!!!!

To Lisa:

I heard back from KayBee and they do ship to the USA so I,m almost ready to order. Do you use any other mixes from them and how are they? I don't know if the other stuff is good or not so your input would be appreciated. It's ten bucks to ship so I might as well get other stuff to if it is good....

thanks all

Here you go, Rachel.

Lisa, I am awfully sorry for your troubles with your family and doctors. But it looks like at least your doctor trouble can be solved now, and that is good. Fortunately, my family is not too bad, and especially extended families, like aunts and cousins etc. are really good about my celiac disease. But I know it must hurt, when your aunt is so insensitive.

Pierogi's can be of polish, russian,ukranian origins plus there are probably others too. They are a dough that has a potato,cheese, onion, or sauerkraut filling in them , the dough is a circle shape and once filled it is folded over to make a half moon shape and the ends sealed.they can be boiled or fried and I serve mine with grilled onions and sour cream.some people also filled them with a prune mixture. thay can often be found at ethnic festivals doing the summer months.

hope you get to taste some one day......

Those sound really "yummy".

I hope I get well enough to try them someday.

Thanks for the explanation. :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
