How Would You Feel?

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. :)

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
