I just had to share a great moment with everyone.

Today is my birthday, & I'd been feeling pretty low because I just went back on the gluten free diet 2 weeks ago. I know it's what I need for my health, but there's still that "mourning" period too.

Anyway, my office celebrates everyone's birthdays as a group, with a homemade treat.

I told my boss "not to worry about it" & to just bring fruit or something.

She said "no way!" to that, & did a bunch of research online. She bought a gluten free brownie

mix from Whole Foods (which was AWESOME!), & she also made a "Popcorn Cake" that had

plain popcorn, chocolate, peanut butter, & a few other (sinfully rich) things in it. :D

People at work said "if gluten free food is good enough for you, then it's sure good enough for us!"

Isn't that awesome?? It's good to feel supported, & I wanted to share this with you all.

That is awesome Martha. It should be interesting to see what happens for my birthday where I work. I put 2.00 in every 2 weeks to a fund. I think I'm getting ripped off because I can't eat what any of them choose when it's their birthday. We do get to choose what we want, but now we have a new employee that shares my birthday. I was thinking about maybe the wonderful gluten free donuts from Celiac Specialities. I'm sure they will want to celebrate our birthdays together, so I don't know that I'll get my choice. I figure I put money in and don't get to share in anyone elses birthday so I should get what I want. It is great that they went to that effort for you. Wendy

Martha,

Aren't supportive co-workers wonderful? So many of us spend more time with them than we do with our own families and I know how you're feeling.

Happy Birthday!

Margaret

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
