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......

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.

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!!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
