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....

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
