AAAARGHH i'm sooooo bad at the college right now. I have finals all this week, so I came in earlier to study and just eat lunch here...

I get to the staff room, open up the freezer in the fridge ..... theres a HUGE BAG OF BUNS on top of my bread bag (which ended up not being completely sealed--for some reason the tag wasnt closing it all). So I had to move the bag myself, and discovered was was HOLES in the bag of EVIL BUNS. So I went and washed my hands as good as I could but I not sure if enough

And THEN I get to the lunch room, and the whole area around the microwaves is EVIL CRUMBS...

that was like 2 1/2 hours ago, and NOW I just feel like absolutely CRAP. PAIN PAIN PAIN and MORE pain. Went to the bathroom, and felt even more pain now.

I totally think i'm contaminated *cries*. And I write my final in 10 mins, the last thing I need is the short-term memory loss and poor concentration...

I wanna scream and cry right now :(

Lisa - I'm sorry you're having such an awful day. I'm praying that your final goes well. Lord knows you've worked so hard to stay in college during all of this.

No doubt about it, Lisa--you're having a lousy day :angry: These things happen, and all you can do is wait for the reaction to ease up, and go from there.

I know it just dosen't seem fair sometimes :( I'm sure by the time you read this, your final will be over--you can only do the best you can. Get some rest tonight, keep warm and I hope tomorrow is a better day for you :)

I'm so sorry. {{{HUGS}}} You're still going to do the best you can on that final inspite of everything that's happened.

Is there a way you can get your own mini-fridge in the staff room? I'm way too scared to put my food in a communal fridge. I like it on my desk where it's nice and safe and I can supervise it.

thanks guys *hugs you all*. makes me feel better to see your replies when i got home. I'm so out of it :( I should have been studying tonight for my final tomorrow but too much of a headache(which feels more like a migraine right now), too much brainfog, too much pain, too much itchyness!!

Everyone seems to have the idea that its my own fault i got contaminated :o (i dont see how--i'm not the one who buried my bread under a bag of evil buns!)

And just my luck, my principal will be away probably this whole week, so I dont know why I can talk to about it. I know its their staffroom and their fridge and their freezer, but I dont have a choice. You all know what its like---its either freeze it til you need it, or starve!

I'm going to bed earlier than my normal bedtime, i have a feeling i'll need it. I'll keep you updated...

P.S.: I did good on the final, but i know not as good as I could have done--forgot a LOT of the easy stuff! :/

You might try double-bagging your bread bag, or using a well-labeled, well-sealed plastic container.

Lisa,

I was going to suggest the same thing. Get a container large enough for what you would normally keep in their fridge, so all of your foods can stay together and separate. :) These are very inexpensive at discount department stores--and could save you a lot of problems.

As we all know, there's not much we can do about those around us, it's up to us to keep ourselves safe. :);)

      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.

      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.
