When I started my new job 2 yrs ago, I was one of 4 new people who started in the office. I got close with one of the other new women. We would eat lunch together and then other two new people started to join us. (everyone takes lunch at different times and does different things at lunch) After awhile everyone started to go their seperate ways. By last fall it was just her and I and John and one of his coworkers. After the new year, she joined the gym at work and her and the girl next to me go there on the lunch hour.

By spring I noticed my once really good friend was getting distant. At first I figured it was because we didn't eat lunch anymore so we weren't really getting to talk and visit. Well, lately she has been making strange comments. She gets upset when I take a day off. She makes comments like someone has time to burn. I used to shrug it off. On Friday I had emailed her about John's sisters baby. It was a general email, there was nothing else in it. The girl next me (the gym buddy) who is also a good friend asked me to answer her phone while she ran down to the bathroom. I was sitting at her desk when her screen flashed with an incoming message. It was the message I had sent to the other woman. She had fowarded it on to this girl. This girl knew about John's sister and all so it wasn't information she didn't know. I just can't imagine why she would send it on.

Now I spent the whole weekend just plain dreading work tomorrow. Of course no one knows I saw that message because I don't want people to know I saw it. Would you trust them? The girl next to me didn't ask to receive the email. I am just not sure what to do. I feel like crap. It bothers me. What would you guys do?

Wow, that really sucks. It does hurt when people change like that. There is nothing you can really do but try to be normal. Just be nice to her like always and try not to worry about it too much because you'll just feel awful all day. Just keep going and as time passes you'll be fine. Good luck, BlueEyedManda.

Just go on being nice and remember not to tell her any secrets ... but if there's something you want everyone to know, tell it to her, she'll spread the news :D.

It makes me glad I hadn't said anything about work since it got passed on. :)

      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/
