So my office decided on having a pot-luck lunch for our 3 nurses. There are 7 of contributing different items for our lunch today. My coworkers begged for me to make brownies. They love the Gluten Free Pantry truffle brownies. I don't even think they realize they are gluten free. When it seemed as if we didn't have a lot of warm dishes, I decided on making a pasta dish. So I made tinkyada penne pasta, Tomato and Basil sauce Wegmans brand, and I brought cheese to sprinkle on top. Let's hope they like it.

I am a nurse and I work in a large rehab center. The nurse managers are providing B/L/D tomorrow for nurses day. They asked why I didn't sign up when the other nurses in my office did. I explained, "I have Celiac." Since they are nurses, I didn't have to go any further. Some of these already knew. Their response was, "Well, you can come watch everyone else eat." I said, "I'm not thinking so."

One of my close coworkers offers something with gluten to me everyday. Be it MacDonald's or like today, some cookies. I said "no, I can't." Her response usally is "I didn't know if you wanted to cheat."

And these are nurses.

It hurts my feelings a little.

Sorry for the rant.

Suzanne,

You are welcome at our Nurses Lunch. I don't know how the rest of the hospital is celebrating the nurses. We got ours nice plants and then we had the lunch. It is hard to get ours in the same place at the same time. The lunch was a hit. There are only a few brownies left and there is pasta salad but a good portion is gone. Makes me more comfortable to cook food food for them.

Yikes! I am sorry you have to deal with that. It's hard to tell if people or clueless or cruel. I think that saying just come watch is pretty harsh as well. A little education seems in order....

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!
