I ttly luv the gluten free chick-fil-a sandwiches. I mean... they rock! But i miss regular chicken nuggets, especially when i am at a friends house spending the night. At sleepovers the options are: pizza, chick-fil-a,pizza

I know i can just say the meal i want, but when the mom says, "Guess what? I am going to buy 2 chicken nugget plates for everyone!!!!!!", what do u do????????????

Hum, yeah...that's pretty tough. I guess you have to be prepared to pull out something wonderful and gluten free. Times like this will pop up from time to time. Ya gotta handle it with class babe! ;):P Then go home and eat 3 plates of Ians Chicken Nuggetts with Ranch dip.

That mom was a little bit thoughtless, but ya can't do anything about that. ( really mean a lot thoughtless)

See if while she's there, she can buy you a large waffle fry and a salad. Those are, to my knowledge, gluten-free. It sucks though, not being able to eat what everyone else is eating :(

Oh, I've run into this problem a lot. I've found that the only solution is to be assertive! Kindly assertive, but assertive. You need to step foreward and say, "Oh, I can't eat the chicken nuggets, is there any way I could get the sandwitch instead?" I know if feels rude, but if the mom knows about celiac, they generally don't mind. I't hard, but the only way, apart from living on Lays for 12 hours.

One option is to have one of your parents call the other parents before the sleepover ask about the food arrangements. That way the food for everyone is not decided on the spur of the moment.

Another option is to pack your own food, you could include your own gluten free pizza and gluten free food from Chick-fil-a and reheat it in the microwave.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
