First Date Since Celiac...

It went so well! We went to the fair, and, even though the smell of the bloomin' onions (oh god...) about got me, I wasn't really attempted to eating anything that I shouldn't. My boyfriend is caring and worries about me. It was really nice. One of the few social events were gluten wasn't a major presense.

Congrats! I know my first time eating out after dx was scary :P

Just make sure if your bf eats gluten, that he cleans his mouth before you kiss him :)

My husband will usually chew a piece of gum after he eats and we're not at home. He'll brush sometimes, cuz I'm still not sure how well gum removes food. But that was a weird conversation to have. Just let him know you don't want to get sick from something he ate :)

Good luck on many more gluten-free dates!

That is a very good point! I never even thought about cc that way.....

There is so much to this, I'm finding I learn something new every day.

I lucked out...the first guy I started seeing after going gluten free (who i am still seeing) doesnt have celiac's but has serious stomach problems so he completely understands everything!

Isn't the smell at the fairs awful?!?! I totally agree!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
