Hello From Sweden

Hi!

Just to begin with, you have to be patience with my english. It's not the very best.

I just found this forum. My name is Nina, I'm 34 years old. I live in the northern part of Sweden in a town called Skelleftea with my husband and our son.

It is me in our family that cant eat gluten. I've been eating gluten-free food for 10 years now.

I love to bake and always looking for new recipies. It was when I was looking for that on the internet I found this side :) I almost never buy bread or cookies and things like that. It's better to bake, it's become more tastier then.

I hope I will learn something from you and the other way around.

Best regards

Nina

Hi Nina,

I'm an American, but all of my ancestors are from Sweden. My mother's parents spoke Swedish at home, and both my parents grew up in Swedish immigrant communities, so I still feel somewhat tied to that background. (MorFar was from Orebro, but that's all I know.) I live in Minnesota, now, which also has lots of Swedish immigrants and history.

Welcome to the group!

Hi Nina,

I'm glad you found this board.

I agree with you on the baked goods. The gluten free breads, cookies, etc. in the stores are so expensive and not that tasty.

My family is from Stockholm. And my husband wants to move to Malmo. He is even trying to learn a little Swedish. :)

Anyway, welcome!

Gina

Ah! Stockholm and Malmoe. It's a bit from here. Stockholm is about 750 km and Malmoe is about, hmmm... well I think 1500 km from Skelleftea. A daytrip ;)

Hope you know the metric system, I'm not sure how long it's in miles.

I like the southern part of Sweden. It's not that cold there. Here in Skelleftea we can have like -40 celcius during wintertime. Not fun..... I like it when it's +35 celcius.

Well, I've got relatives in USA:) My Granddads (MorFar) cousine lives in Latrobe, Pensylvania. And I think one lives in LA. Last time I heard they lived there :) But I have never been overseas. I really would like to. It's a dream I have. You guys got soooo yummy chocolate..... :wub: I just looove those with peanutbutter. Peanutbutter is my weaknes. And to combine that with chocolate..... oh my! Then I'm in heaven lol.

I think it's good that we can't buy Goobers grape and peanutbutter here in Sweden. I would look like a ballon then......

Well, now I'm gonna look for some yummy recipies. Hmm.. maby something with chocolate ;)

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
