Don't Give Up---investigate!

I found out that there is actually something I can eat that comes from my HS' Cafeteria. I learned this from a friend that is allergic to numerous things. She got a list of what the school offers and what she could. She got to looking and we figured out that I could actually have the taco salad at school!

I just wanted to let everyone know that you shouldn't give up so easily when it comes finding food you can eat. I went a whole year at HS without knowing that there was something I actually could eat. Investigating pays off!

I know what ya mean. Sometimes, people can get annoyed because you just want to make sure that it is truely safe by asking many questions. I really don't like to investigate either, mainly because how ignorant people are about Celiac Disease, gluten, and so forth.

In the long run, it pays off. It can get ya experience in what to ask and look for when searching for gluten-free food.

If you're interesting in french fries, make sure to ask if they're fried in oil by themselves. Just thought I'd say that :) Good luck, let me know if you find anything.

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I hate to cook!

      By bold-95 · Posted

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
