So true.

I go to work, eat, and live coeliac.

A highlight is coming home and checking up on celia.com.

But is has been awesome, and I have learnedso much from you all.

At last I have something (other than hubby) to feel passionate about.

What is housework?

I get on the message board when I'm pumping and realized the other day that if I give up pumping, I'll probably be giving up Celiac.com too, at least partially!!! :( I just don't have this much time otherwise. I guess pumping is a good excuse! :P

Ha ha! Well, the word in my house is that I am huge techny internet dork :lol: So...I can relate... Dh makes fun of me being on the forum--but not in a serious manner. I mean, he belongs to a ferrari forum--so I can make fun of him too (although he visits a few times a week--vs multiple times a day!) Anywho...can't tell what your husband's tone was from your post...but after the initial learning curve wears off you may want to make sure you have some "celiac-free" space carved out in your home where you can talk to your husband about topics not relating to celiac....if that is even a problem for you guys.

Way to go on the pumping, though! :)

DW bugs me as well, but she also has 2 forums she checks a LOT more than I am/can be on here.

I apprecaite all the advice I get, and help when I can.

I do agree that it can be very all consuming, but what else is there. I live in a small town where the nearest support group/local chapter is 65 km (40 miles) away. Even my doctor had to make phone calls to help interpret my blood work.

Thank you all for your support.

Time on this forum is time well spent. It's like taking a college course in gluten-intollerance - and it's free! Can't beat that.

And, yes, I'm spending a lot of time here reading everything I can. I'm sure that after a few months I'll get on with my life and won't need the support here as much - but for now, this place is worth its weight in gold! (uhh, :huh: how much does an internet site weigh??

My husband is retired, but is writing a novel, so he's on the computer all day long. We both have our own computer in our rooms (he in his study and me in my studio on the other end of this very small house) and we have our own email address. Sometimes we email each other :D

TOO FUNNY!!!!

My husband complains of the same thing with me being constantly looking at gluten-free related stuff. I joke that he's just jealous of me. Then I found him the shirt mentioned in my sig below, which he thought was a hoot. But I must say he does fit the 'honorary' category because he pretty well eats what I do (but I cook, so maybe he's just lazy!).

[My hubby teases too. One of our daughters called recently and he told her that I was on the COMPUTER again. He is very supportive, told me not to worry about buying special foods (the higher costs). He was very concerned when I was very sick, could not stop losing weight just a few months ago. Yes, he is a kepper too. I am taking care of him now, he is taking meds for a sinus infection, first one he ever had!!

I would like to get him to go gluten free too, he is eating less now anmd does most of his own cooking. I have not yet baked a cake but maybe i will bake him a glten free BD cake in august. Might start something!!

take care all, evie :):);)

It is addictive. Today I came on here just to ask a question about a supplement and then I had to stop to read the new posts. Then I had to check up on the threads that I've participated in or started and reply. Before I know it way too much time has gone by! But I agree that it is time well spent.

It's the place I go to when I want to make sure that we're not "nuts." Everyone here has had our experiences and fears and anxiety so we don't feel like the outsiders (as we normally do with non celiac people). Although I am not celiac, I experience it with my DH. Hopefully celiacs will eventually be large in number and rule the world! ;)

I feel I've joined your club by default!(as I'm not the coeliac-hubbie is)

I suppose I'm an honoury coeliac (I want that t-shirt) but like Debmidge I am affected by all that having celiac disease entails.

I don't think my hubbie minds me 'dropping in' daily-as I've become his eyes and ears for the G.F diet,and over time,by regularily chatting about any concerns and worries regarding celiac disease,I feel I've built up 'cyber' relationships with people.I can bang on about celiac disease without boring the pants off you guys! :blink: as I know you all understand in a way that my 'real' (as in the flesh)friends don't. :rolleyes:

This board is addictive though :o -For instance the first thread I always read (but haven't posted on) is Rachel-24's OMG,just to see how they are!!! :lol:

My husband can't complain about how much time I spend on here. I only get on the computer once every day or two, maybe an hour at a time. It could become all consuming, but when you're the one being ignored because your spouse is on the computer all the time, and even your kids start rolling their eyes when you ask where dad is ("on the computer of course"), you quickly realize that life is too short to get involved in every single discussion on every single site to the point where it is sucking up all of your free time. It's not fair to the other people in your life.

Sorry, sensitive subject for me! :unsure:

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
