Last night we had a tball game at 6 and i hadnt even thought about dinner. So after the game hubby is like lets have hamburger and fries, so I was like Ok, but make sure you get ore ida fries. He is like dont worry i know what to get. Well he grabbed the zesty fries. So i started to eat and ate like 7 fries and asked him well what kind did you get and he is like zesty but they look fine. Well about an hour later I was like my stomach hurts, so of course i go to the ore ida list and sure enough the fries are not on the gluten free list. I slept with the heating pad on all last night in 90 degree weather, not fun. I woke up so tired and kinda out of it. I have to go help out for 3 hours this morning for an rockies baseball challenge, I so dont know what I am going to do. My stomach is cramping so bad while i sit here and type this out. I was feeling so good and now i have to suffer for days cause of carelessness. Last ngiht i kept telling hubby to feel my stomach cause it was so hard, he felt so bad. He said from now on we make our own fries, but that doesnt make me feel better now lol

I'm so sorry Paula. Of course, he meant well. My husband made a few silly mistakes like that too in the beginning. He even switched up my children's plates one time. I cried when I saw my son eating the sandwhich and said "what did you do!!!!" And he felt like dirt. And there was little we could do except wait through it.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks gina,. well i made it threw the 2 hours at the rockies challenge, but now i am home and in complete pain. I even caught myself being cranky at the baseball thing. I feel so bad when i get like this and the kids just look at me like im some freak. I think i can handle the digestive problems alot better then i can the neurological affects.

I hear ya'. I feel awful afterwards (from the snapping at my own kids). But it just feels so out of control at the time.

I don't know how to soothe the stomachache. I just double up and wait it out. I hear some folks like pudding and other soothing treats.

Sorry about the glutening, Paula. Be sure to read EVERY label, EVERY time! Sometimes a product will be gluten-free, then they'll change the recipe. :) In this case, it wasn't gluten-free to begin with ... I'm sure hubby will be reading from now on, too.

I mostly do carla, but last night he came in and cooked dinner while i had an drink and smoked an cigarette and played with the kids, i didnt even think to look at what he bought, i trusted him lol. And i was so tired. But that will be the last time i trust him lol. But he feels really bad and he sees how it has affected me today and i know he dont want me going back to his sick wife that hardly ever left her house lol.

and people think we're crazy when we want to read every label, every time. :P

I'm sorry you got so sick. but until you are *CONFIDENT* that he's trained (and being sorry is NOT the same as being trained), you're going to have to read up on the labels after him, BEFORE eating the food.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: 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/
