Nervous...

I'm really nervous. I'm going to my first sleepover as a celiac. We'll be up all night snacking and roleplaying till we drop! What I'm really nervous about is CC. With me so tired, I don't know what will happen!!! I'm going to pack food, though. Does anyone have any suggestions for food and ways to remember not to eat the popcorn without writing on my hands and taping a sticky note to my forehead?

I think if you tell the other girls what you can and cannot eat, they will help you remember and yell "NO!" if you are about to eat the wrong thing.

And make sure you have lots of yummy things to eat for yourself, so you won't be tempted.

About avoiding cc: I would make sure your snacks are not at all near the other kid's snacks, and that you have your own dish for your stuff in front of you. And don't have anybody with gluten on their hands hand you your snacks, get them yourself.

And don't forget to have fun!

thank you! I've been seriously freaking out over this. But I'll have fun, (Julia will see to that...) and try not to get glutened!

It'll be fine--just be sure to keep your snacks near you so there's no confusion. ;)

Let us know how it went!

Make something that is gluten free and share with everyone. That way they will know that you can enjoy some of the same things that other people do. Double Chocolate Brownies would be a good thought. ;)

I agree with making sure you have lots of things you know you can eat. I know when I'm around friends I always make sure I surround myself with foods I know are safe--like for popcorn, make sure you have your own bowl of it to enjoy, and that it's not near the other kids foods.

Ok! I did it! I did an All-nighter with no CC that i could find! I brought my own snacks and a pan of brownies to share, (one of my friends couldn't eat then because it had potato flour in it, she's allergic to potatos...) Potato chips, marshmellows, and coke. (I overpacked...) I don't think I got CC unless some crumbs floated onto my thing or something. Thank you for all your help and support! You don't know how much it means to me.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
