Last night my husband was drinking a pepsi....(for some reason I am unable to tolorate caramel coloring). He left the room....now mind you I LOVE pepsi, so I reached down, picked it up, and started smelling it....lol. So here I am smelling his soda when he walks in....looks at me (like I have lost my mind) and says "what are you doing?". I reply, "smelling your soda in the hopes that it will trick my mind into thinking I have had it....." LOL (so he is right in looking at me like I am crazy). He then gets this panic in his eyes and says " you didn't drink it did you!!!" Which I hadn't but he was so worried...he is so sweet!!

Anyone else there get caught doing weird things since going gluten free?? I am sure I will get caught sniffing other things.

It's become a ritual on the rare occasion that my husband has a beer - upon opening it (or having it delivered to our table) he automatically passes it to me, so I can get a good whiff! It definitely tricks my mind for a little while.

I admit, I've also secretly sniffed his full-of-gluten sandwich rolls and donuts without his knowledge!

Sniff away!!!!

Wishing everyone a great weekend!

Kiddo came into the kitchen the other day after eating a container of key-lime pie yogurt and unintentionally breathed right in my face. It smelled so good. I told him he could breathe on me anytime after eating it! :lol: And we had a good laugh. Gluteny pizza is a different matter. Somehow the smell is more addictive and I will resist because it makes me so sick but just smelling it is not satisfying. I'm glad that I don't encounter it often.

lol So I'm not nuts! My dad and I went out for lunch at a pub yesterday. He ordered a Guinness, and I asked if I could sniff it. After a long inhale of that rich heavenly scent--nearly fell into the glass--I handed it back to him. He drank it and told me I enjoyed it very much. Aw, sweet dad.

This makes me laugh! I always "Secretly" sniff foods when people aren't looking. I was just sniffing my daughters Valentine Chocolates today, and I always sniff Chick-fil-a because I MISS IT SO MUCH!!!

Food porn! now thats funny

i used to go through the line in a deli or at a buffet and grab a dessert just so could visualize eating it. and i totally smelled it too! i do that all the time. i would bake a loaf of homemade gluten bread just for that scent of a yeast bread baking. mm... :)

and of course those delis with the chicken strips... you know where you can taste it because the scent of fried food is SO strong. i used to ask my hubby to breath in my face after brownie fudge sundaes and the like. no embarassment there. he's seen me at my weirdest.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis o...

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      In Addison’s disease, autoimmmune adrenal cortex disease adrenal glands don't make enough cortisol. At 12, it is usually caused by an autoimmune attack. It has a strong genetic link to the HLA-DQ8 gene. After 12 gluten free and 14 years on prednisone for adrenal insufficiency (symptoms like you describe from 1984 until 2014) I recently removed all c...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Hello @CC90 Can I just ask a question: have you actually been told that your biopsy were normal, or just that your stomach, duodenum and small intestine looked normal? The reason I ask is that when I had my endoscopy, I was told everything looked normal.  My TTG score was completely through the roof at the time, greater than 100 which was then the cut off max. for my local lab.  Yet when my biopsy results came back, I was told I was stage 3 on the Marsh scale.  I've come across the same thing with at least one other person on this forum who was told everything looked normal, but the report was not talking about the actual biopsy samples, which had to be looked at through a microscope and came back abnormal.
