My dh went to get dd up from her nap while I was busy doing something else. I walk into the living room and he had a bowl of goldfish that he was sharing with our dd! She has been gluten-free for a few days! I can't believe he did that! He says he thought they were gluten-free. I picked up the box and the VERY 1ST ingredient is flour!

I hope one day he gets the hang of this diet! I will go crazy if he doesn't!

And just for the record, our house will soon be completely gluten-free, but it isn't yet. It is taking us a while to "convert"!! :D

Just had to share my frustrations!

If it makes you feel any less homicidal....my dh was famous for doing the same thing! lol! (Yes, I CAN laugh about it now as dd has been gluten-free for 2 years now and dh hasn't poisoned her in quite a while) I had to clean the house of all things gluten....minus his beer. That pretty much made the diet a no-brainer from that point on. lol! But Lord help us on the days he has to pick up food at the grocery store.. :ph34r:

How frustrating! lol my dh sometimes thinks he's being very helpful by bringing home taco bell...oh yeah, i forgot you can't eat this....

I had an annoying experience today at the movie theater. Went to see the new bond movie w/ dh, and was sitting next to this woman who downed 2 hot dogs in about 5 minutes, then went through a bag of popcorn and 2 drinks! first of all, it was kinda gross, and it made me hungry. Second of all, it's been so long since i ate a hot dog, and it smelled so good!!! third of all, she kept touching my arm, cuz our elbows were bumping, and she was apologizing. All i could think of though was the crumbs getting on me, and i didn't finish my own popcorn for fear of CC. I was so annoyed! Aaaah! Sorry, had to vent! People can be so inconsiderate sometimes :(

You know, sometimes I think about just this.

As we struggle to find foods that will keep up health, maintain a home, or a business and working shop and cook, guard celiac disease children, it can be all so consuming.

At least for me, sometimes I don't address the food needs of my no-gluten free husband. But he is really good about eating everything that I cook, and says that the meals are much better than before. Better than any restaurant that we can go to. Before dx's, I would always ask him what he would like for dinner (board with the same and asking for suggestions) and he would always say "spaghetti". Lucky for me, I never did like pasta, but I made him spaghetti and good homemade sauce. Now the poor man never gets any. I hate the gluten free pasta (as never liked the real ones) and I can't taste to check if el donte (sp).

We need to give our un-celiac spouses a pat on the back, at least mine, for support. Remind me to do that. :ph34r:

Celiac has to be a quick learning process, sometimes it's hard to lead the charge, and sometimes you look back and no one is following. :ph34r:

Oops! Celiac is a steep learning curve, and although he ought to know that goldfish contain flour, he probably just didn't think about the ingredients. I know I never used to think about what had wheat flour in before dx. It takes a while to adjust your thinking to analyze every ingredient label. Maybe you need to label all the food in the house with gluten-free or not gluten-free. Maybe you and your husband could go through your kitchen together and pull out all the gluten food. When I was first diagnosed, I went around putting those Mr. Yuck poison stickers on all the gluten food so I could remember what things I had check the ingredients of. Then I put all the gluten food on one shelf so I didn't have to deal with it. My dad still eats gluten so there was no need to throw it away - I just didn't want to dig through it looking for my stuff. And as your daughter is gluten-free for longer, you'll probably start having less and less gluten-food in the house. Good luck!

Even though this was no joke for you, you made me laugh. You were saying that your husband had a bowl of goldfish he was sharing with your daughter. And I envisioned a goldfish bowl, with life goldfish swimming in it, and didn't get it, I was confused. And when finally it dawned on me that you were talking about a bowlful of CRACKER goldfish, I had to laugh.

Sorry that your daughter has been glutened like that. I am sure you gave your hubby a piece of your mind about that one, and he won't do it again. Just make sure he understands that the cracker bears, and other animals are baked with flour, too, not just the goldfish. :blink:

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
