Roommate Rant #2, Enough Is Enough..!

Hey guys. I'm sure you remember my post about my roommate making me sick and causing me panic/asthma attacks by leaving crumbs everyone or trying to get me to touch garbage bags, etc that had some form of gluten on/near them??? Well I gave her heck about that, but nowwww I've had enough. I'm officially searching for someone else. <_<

She always checks the mail before me because she leaves sooner than I do. Well I didn't even know that a TV/internet bill came in. Know where she hid it?? under my microwave...didn't tell me it came or nothing. So today our internet/TV was cut off from not being paid and she had a hissy fit that it's all my fault and it's under my name so it's my job to open it/read it. Yeah sure because when it's hidden that's really possible, right? :rolleyes: . ALSO it was her idea "Oh we'll just pay one month at a time, not the 2 like they want"...her fault there too.

My mom is angrier than me. You've probably already learned how she is from my rants about the family. She's not afraid to tell you anything and usually means it too. Well mom said to me, and was being VERY serious about it "Come spring time, if you don't tell her to get out I will!!!". And I know she would too.

SOOO for now, I'm going to call the stupid tv/internet company and say figure out my share for whatever I owe (i think it'll be up til january?) and i'll charge it to credit card...AND apparently our damage deposit isn't paid yet so what I'm going to do is pay it all myself, then I can rightfully claim the apartment to myself and it should be less hassle to give her the boot.

if you have any suggestions PLEASE help me out here!!

Are both of your names on the lease, or is it your place and she's renting room? Do you have the option of living alone? Most people with roommates have these types of issues, unfortunately....

I'm sorry this is so much trouble for you. My bit of advice would be NOT to have your name on the lease/phone/cable whatever. That way you aren't responsible for irresponsible roommates.

OK so she just started freaking out on me that I don't do my s*** and it has to stop. She then threatened me...and said she's going to call my mom. HA i wonder if she did, my mom would have snapped...then she says if things don't improve NOW shes out of here. WOW would that be a blessing...So enough is enough. I'm definitely phoning landlord this weekend and saying: either she goes or i do.

PS: the lease in this place is month-by-month..

I'm sorry you have to deal with all this. Seriously - hiding a bill so she can blame you??? That's messed up. And the month-to-month lease is fantastic for you. I'd consider moving out at the end of November if I were you :) I've had really bad roommates in the past before and they added so much additional stress to my life and made it so that home wasn't at all a relaxing place. I now live alone and will never go back. Good luck.

O-M-G i can't take this...

My mom just phoned me yelling at me. My roommate did call her and instead of mom sticking up for me, she believed what my roommate said that I do nothing, never empty trash or take or garbage, anything. Now mom is blaming ME that things are bad and says I'm not allowed to move out???

Is ANYBODY on my side??? :( *CRIES*

Do you need your mom's permission to move out? If you're on a month to month lease, you can easily leave whenever you want, so.....I'd recommend getting out of there :) Not to sound cheesy....but you need to be on your own side...empower yourself to take action and find a better situation for yourself.

Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry that this is so hard for you. Someday soon you'll be done with school and done with needing support from your parents. Hang on till then and remember that everyone here is on your side.

Oh, I didn't know that part. I'd still work on getting out of there though. I've had my share of roommate drama and it's never worth it. Everything gets really blown out of proportion when you're in the middle of a situation like that. It's best to move out or just find a way to distance yourself from the drama.

So last night she gave me this huge apology, saying her mom made her mad and she took it out on me and she won't do it again blah blah. I don't completely buy it though. If it was just taking anger out of me she wouldn't go calling my mom and yelling at her. I trust her just as little...

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
