Prayers Needed

he did have an feeding tube a few days ago, i dont think he still has one. What the dr wants it the most possible calories possible and that he needs to do it on his own. With an feeding tube its more like life supports and i guess he dont want that. But like i told hubby he needs to at least stay hudrateed and get something.

I asked the drs across the street about it and they never heard about it, but they printed out some stuff from their medical program and that was very informative but so scary to.

We couldnt get an hold of the caseoworker when hubby came home for break so we will try again when he gets home. My poor hubby looks terrible and an jerk at work did help at all. he was mad at hubby for something and huby was like i have been gone for 2 weeks and its not fair im getting in trouble and they guy kept it up and dan yelled at him ans said u know what its not fair my brother is in a hospital dying either. So the guy shut up.

My poor 6 yr old would not go to school today cause he is so afraid that my hubby is going to die with his uncle. And my 7 yr is afraid my hubby will leave and not come back. It weird how kids think the way they do.

I am just at lost what i can do to make things better for everyone.

But coming here to write makes things easier on me, mentally.

Dear Paula,

Your poor husband! :( I am so sorry to hear he had to deal with that creep at work. Some people are just hateful. They could not care less what others deal with. They believe the entire universe revolves around them.

I really cannot wait to read about Valley Fever. I have never known it existed. If I can find anything that is useful, I will be sure to post it. Meanwhile, I hope they can get your BIL to eat. As you said, just keeping him hydrated is a great help.

Feel free to pour your heart out. We all go through things like this. If it were not for the support of everyone on this forum, many of us likely would have given up ourselves due to Celiac alone, nevermind the rest of the issues we must deal with on a daily basis. It is almost like an online journal. I love to write poems and songs to deal with my feelings.

Children get terrified in these situations. They do not always understand how these things go. Perhaps if you talk to them about their uncle being sick, they will understand better. Tell them something like "I know you are scared your father/stepfather is going to die because your uncle is sick. Your uncle has something called Valley Fever." Explain to them that Dan is healthy, and does not have Valley Fever, and is okay. Give them a hug, and tell them you love them.

Sincerely,

Jin

So the fungus-killing medications aren't helping? If not, I'm so sorry.

      @MegRCxx, it is common for people with celiac disease to have other food intolerances as well. Most common offenders are oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy. Soy, eggs and corn are less common but not rare. So, factor into your consideration.

      Thank you @Scott Adams!! I will definitely have a read through these! If anyone is curious to what i had eaten and am worried about it was the tescos finest frozen bourginoun and creamy mash, only allergen stated was milk but it does contain yeast extract which i am aware can be a bit of an odd one. Once again thank you 🙏🏻

      The short answer is that it would be good for you to learn more about how to read labels, but sticking to looking for "gluten-free" on packaged foods is a great place to start. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    If you have some time for a good read, here is chapter 1 of a full book published on Celiac.com that deals with the social aspects of celiac disease:

      I have recently started a gluten free diet (waiting for confirmation via endoscope biopsies) I had started to reduce after the biopsy and then had a McDonald’s which confirmed to me my suspicions so decided to go full gluten whilst on holiday as i wanted to enjoy myself, since being back i have noticed that i have got increasingly more anxious due to feeling sick when i had accidentally eaten some on holiday. And not im reading labels worrying if everything doesnt state is gluten free but the ingredients look like they check out may still have gluten in.  Im panicking myself making myself feel worse and seem to be at a bit of a loss, i dont know anyone else with coeliac disease and am finding it all quite overwhelming. any advice is greatly appreciated:)

      We've done some articles on this over the years: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=colleges&quick=1&type=cms_records2 You might also check College Confidential or Reddit’s r/Celiac for firsthand student experiences. Some schools, like the University of Arizona and Oregon State, are known for their allergy-friendly dining halls—calling their nutrition services directly can give you specifics. If you’re touring campuses, ask about dedicated prep spaces, ingredient labeling, and student support groups. A guide focused solely on this would be so useful—maybe someone here has found one?
