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:

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
