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!!!!

It is good to know that I am not crazy!! LOL I was really enjoying the smelling of his pepsi and will continue to do so whenever he has it..... :)

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.

I caught myself doing it yesterday when my husband and I walked into Walmart. The smell of the pizza and chicken.mmmm. I bought some gluten free pizza crust mix and mak my own pizza. :D

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.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
