Hubby Can Be So Frustrating

My grandson was coming over to celebrate his birthday and mine. I decided to order a gluten free ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. My husband wasn't even going to try it because it was "gluten-free!" Dairy Queen has a nice long list of sundaes and blizzards that are gluten free. I admit some of the gluten free baked things aren't so great, but ice cream. Give me a break. When I do the cooking it is gluten free and he eats it.

Oh wow, that sounds like my best friend's hubby. He accuses me of trying to rid the world of gluten, and has been refusing gluten-free food on principle. :angry:

Then, a couple weeks ago at a Halloween party, my MOM grabbed a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie (with frosting and sprinkles, no less), stuck it right under his nose, and said, "EAT IT." This was particularly amusing, since bf's hubby is 6'7" and my mom is 5'4", and both were fully costumed! :lol:

Well, apparently it smelled good (or else he was intimidated) because he ate it. He also said it was really good, hehe.

Good for your Mom. My hubby has tried a couple of my baked goods. He also tried some gluten free bread, which I can understand not liking. But the ice cream because it was gluten free. All I did was have them eliminate the crushed oreos in the middle and had them use pecans. I guess maybe he thought that their was actual cake in it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Tell your mom I said she rocks!

I wish things like this were easier for everyone, and that i could share my boyfriend and my Mom. My boyfriend doesn't let any gluten in the house (except his goldfish for work and his box of stroopwafel) and he loves my cooking and encourages me everytime I screw something up. i just don't understand why so many people are so mean about this.

My hubby is exactly the opposite, thankfully.

He is gluten-free-gung-ho!

In fact, he experiences quite a bit of tummy trouble and I noticed since we made our house gluten-free that has decreased significantly. Plus, he has pointed out that when he does eat gluten, his poopies resemble what our daughter's used to be like.

So, he is going to be tested soon (we're waiting to test before we buy a life insurance policy), but until then, eating gluten lite.

He says even w/out a positive diagnosis that he will continue eating gluten-lite because it just feels better. Plus, my gluten-free cooking is really starting to rock (says my hubby with the big belly). :D

Also, if he is dxd w/ Celiac, we explained to our daughter that she basically saved HIS life because we never would have thought that he was having a problem with gluten. The real kicker? Our daughter is not biologically his! I was a single parent when we met and he adopted her when she was 7!

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
