My Husband A.k.a. "turd For Brains"

I got home from picking up the girls from music classes and dropping my mom off. Terry had gotten home by this point (he wasn't home yet when we left). Anyway, the kitchen was a disaster!!! Today is Pancake Tuesday, and he was making pancakes for his class, and there was pancake mix powder EVERYWHERE! All over the counter. the stove, the sink, the fridge, all the mixing dishes with gluteny, dried on pancake mix all over them lying all over the place, the griddle on the counter RIGHT NEXT TO MY GLUTEN FREE CONTAINERS!!!!

I could have screamed! DUH! WHEN WILL HE EVER LEARN THE SEVERITY OF THIS DISEASE??????

Okay, feel a bit better after that rant......

Tell him he needs to make it up to you. ;) Maybe it's his turn to eat the Altoids. :lol::P

Wow. Just... wow. How can someone even do that? My husband doesn't even make gluten-filled pancakes any more because the dust was too annoying to deal with. That really sucks.

Good Grief! I don't suppose he cleaned it up. <_<

That is really insensitive - especially coming right after your Rolos accident.

Ooh, just the thought makes me shudder. Have you thought about banning wheat flour from your home? I had to do that, even with 4 kids, even when it was just me needing to eat gluten-free. I'll never regret that decision.

Like Liz, we don't keep wheat flour--or actually any dry gluten-containing baking mixes in the house. I don't want all the flour flying around, landing on everything <_<

Sorry your husband was thoughtless, hope it was just a one-time lapse :) I would have been beyond upset, too ;)

I certainly hope that you don't have to clean that mess up. That's really horrible of him.

Hhhmmm, what makes this better?

Dinner out every weekend for a month?

Spa day with the girls...nails, facials, everything?

Luxury weekend for two somewhere away from the kids? Nah, that's like rewarding him.

He takes the kids for a weekend and you get the house to yourself?

Housekeeper for a year!!

In my dreams! Yah, right...... This is the guy who totally forgot our anniversary, then for Christmas, gave me a card saying it was good for a day at the spa, but that seems to have been forgotten, and for Valentine's Day, I actually got a card this year, usually he doesn't acknowledge it at all......

Hence him being in the doghouse now for months.......

Oh wow! How frustrating can that be :o in the dog house for sure Terry!

I'm one of those that doesn't allow gluten flour or mixes in the house. Cleaning that mess up would have had me fuming for a month :angry:

Karen, you seriously need to ban all gluten flour and mixes from your house. I did a while ago. He might have to make gluten-free pancakes next time, or take his cooking elsewhere. As if you aren't sick enough already! :angry:

Sorry your DH is such a dog! I don't allow any gluten in my house with one exception. I let them have gluten containing cereal. But I told them if they dont rinse their own dish, clean the sink and put the dish in the dishwasher they will be eating cornmeal mush and nutty rice with me!

I am sorry you came home to this mess. As understanding as John is he still offers me pretzels.... sometimes I think they just don't think.

This is why I'm single :lol:

But seriously, I've had similar problems with roommates. I definitely don't think it's malicious, just temporary lack of sanity and consideration.

I'm not nearly as nice as all of you! :P I would have left the house, gone shopping or something and told him I would come home when the mess was clean. If cleaning up dried up pancake mess didn't teach him, the MasterCard bill would!! :lol::lol::lol:

My hubby was out of town once for Mother's Day. I bought myself a Coach purse ... it never happened again! ;)

OOh heck - Terry has surpassed himself there in the thoughtlessness stakes there :(

Will he ever get out the doghouse now?

Dangerous stuff pancake mix (we don't even bother with the whole 'pancake day' thing anymore with one of the boys being dx with celiac disease now -- no non gluten-free flour allowed in the kitchen!!)

Anyhow..I like Carla's suggestion with a spell of silent treatment added!!

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      I recently reviewed a patient with a positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody but negative endomysial antibodies (EMA). The patient is asymptomatic, and duodenal biopsies—taken while on a normal gluten-containing diet—were reported as normal.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of...

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done...

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for...

      I recently reviewed a patient with a positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody but negative endomysial antibodies (EMA). The patient is asymptomatic, and duodenal biopsies—taken while on a normal gluten-containing diet—were reported as normal. Given the discordant serology and absence of histological changes, I understand that the probability of coeliac disease is low. However, I would appreciate your guidance on the following: Is routine follow-up required in such a case? What is the risk of progression to overt coeliac disease in the future? Would HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing be useful here to help guide long-term management or exclude the diagnosis confidently? I would be...

If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification
