Cuz I Thought This Was Soo Funny!

Tonight while sitting at home with my nieces, one is 10 (and she would say 10 and 2/4) and the other is 13, we started talking about past memories. I would have almost forgotten about this but I'll share it here...

One night I had to babysit them for my Aunt (who is there Mom but she's almost my age LOL) they got into a fight (literally). I broke it up and asked them what was the matter with them. The eldest apparently called the youngest fat and the lil one threw her stuffy at her older sister. The older one stormed off to her room after screaming "nobody loves me anymore" and slamming the door. I sat downstairs with the youngest to reassure her that she wasnt fat and that her sister didnt mean to hurt her feelings, etc...Well, she ended up cuddling closer and told me she wanted to tell me a secret. So I put my head lower and she whispered to me "Aunty Iya..I know Im not fat. Im just fluffy like you." LMAO

After our lil trip down memory line I got nostalgic and realized how fast they have grown up. I put the 10 yr old to bed (despite protests of 'but im not tired!') and sat up to talk to the eldest about what was going to happen when I moved away again. She come over to my chair, sat down in my lap and told me that she was going to move with me. Then I realized I couldnt feel my darn legs and told her "what are you going to do when you get taller baby girl? I mean, your already 5'4 and your only 13. There is going to come a day where you won't fit in my lap anymore..." Lil brat cut me off and said "Well, thats why God invented the foot stool. Duh?" LOL

Crazy kid.. LOL

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen
