Having A Rough Day....

I am in a very lousy mood and I feel like crying. It is no ones fault, I just am not having a good day. It kind of started yesterday when I went to a birthday party after work and we all met at a pizza place. Of couse they had nothing I could eat, salad bar was terrible. Then someone brings in this huge cake. I litteraly had tears in my eyes. I wanted that "stuff' so bad, but not in a million years. Long story short, I watched every one eat pizza and cake while I did nothing. I did call to see if I could bring in my own pizza, know a place where I can get awsome gluten free pizza, but they said no.So... I guess I won't do the right thing by asking and just wrap it in a bag a put it in my purse next time. How terribble is that?? This is usually why I don't go out. I am really good about eating before I leave, but usually I pick a place where I know I can eat. This obviously didn't happen last night, since this was for someone else. Oh ya.. work sucks today to. Everything seems to ge annoying me today. Just needed to vent. Wish I could go for a long walk by myself, guess I have to wait till tonight. <_<

Uggghhh. So sorry you had to go through that...we've all been there (or at least I have). Pizza and cake together is such a temptation, but I'm glad you avoided it. Your mood probably stinks today because you felt so left-out yesterday. Sometimes I put a candy stash in my purse so that when everyone else is eating cake, I can also satisfy my sweet-tooth too. :)

Hope your day improves!

I know where you are coming from, I don't see a problem with bringing your own in your purse. I have had days like that though.

Kimberly,

We've all had days like this. I am the only one in my household with Celiac's. I can't count the amount of times I have fed my children all thing's filled with gluten! :rolleyes: And, not to mention the many restaurants where I can't eat a thing. I can feel for you. My suggestion to you is to bring anything that can fit into your purse, even if it's an emergency candy bar. No need for embarrasment because no one is going to say a thing about it. I hope you feel better!

Toward the end of the school year there was some type of celebration at work in the lounge. I like to go to the lounge and relax and grade papers during my plan time, so on that particular day I sat and stared at the cakes and baked goods and just felt really badly. I also was mopey on International Day, because I remembered all the years past when I had been able to sample a lot of the foods. We're going to New York City soon, and it will be my first time there since having to go gluten free. We will hit the restaurants with gluten free menu items, but I also want my son and husband to be able to visit some restaurants that we used to go to as a family. I don't know if I'll eat before I go there or just go to the park and read and skip those restaurants altogether.

It's weird, though, because sometimes when I'm at the store or in a restaurant I just look at all of the things I used to be able to eat, and I think, "Jeez. It's just food. It looks so harmless. How bizarre that my body has such a reaction to it." :(

I know what you mean!! Thanks everyone for all the support. I hope I have a better day tomorrow. :unsure:

I am sorry, that is a bummer. Next time I would sneak it in my purse, heck maybe just sneak in some cake!! I feel like maybe I should sneak something in everywhere I go. I had my first gluten free pizza the other day and it really lifted my spirits :D except for it was gluten free AND dairy free <_< . Hang in there!

Call me antisocial, but there are days when it's just not worth putting yourself through something like that. If the function revolves around people eating stuff I can't eat and there are NO options for me, I'm probably not going to go. It's no fun watching everyone else enjoy themselves and stuff their faces, smell the delicious smells, and have to answer the constant questions about why you aren't joining in and eating like everyone else.

      Ibuprofen

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. 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/
