Torture!

Recommended Posts

GeoffCJ Enthusiast

So I've been making a real effort to be glutten free for a few weeks now, was gluten "lite" before that for a couple of months. I work, and I'm a full time graduate student, so I'm pretty busy.

Today I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy (looked ok, don't know what the biopsies will show) so yesterday was liquids only. By my 6 pm class I was STARVING!!!! Ugh.

Went to class (1st night of a new quarter). Taking this class at a different "campus" of my school. I was unaware that they bring PIZZA in. So I was stuck sitting in class, starving, with 80-90 people around me eating FREE PIZZA.

I love pizza.

It was torture.

I kind of think the real torture would be what comes after eating the pizza. Sorry for your agony!

Yikes! And I was just complaining to my hubby that they ordered pizza for everyone at work for lunch today and I had to sit and eat my chicken and rice . . . and you couldn't eat at all - that IS torture!! :( Hang in there!

Aye, it's torture. But I guess self-control is good for the soul. ;) (Not that that's a huge comfort when you're drooling over delicious pizza, but you know what I mean). Hang in there!

Stupid Pizza...its seems to get so many of us. It is the one thing that will just about bring me to my gluten free knees. I feel your pain, but good for you for resisting it!

Pizza is the one thing that gets me, too. At first it was torturous. Now it doesn't bother me so much because it's so ingrained that pizza is evil that I don't even want it anymore. Hopefully it will get easier for you, too.

If you know ahead of time you can bring yourself some pizza and not feel so out of place.

There are many frozen pizza crusts you can get ... Glutino and Kinnikinnick for sure. Just pile on what you want. It's pretty good if I do say so myself :P

I know that every year when we set up for our big dog show, the club buys pizza for everyone setting up, I bring my own and use the micro in one of the motor homes to heat it up. You feel like you belong, and my fellow club members aren't uncomfortable feeling sorry for me just sitting there. It work great.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
