How Is Your Valentine Coping?

My dd has a great new bf! He is taking CNA classes and asked his instructor about gluten.

He told my dd...YOU ARE NEVER HAVING GLUTEN AGAIN! Then said he wanted to be gluten-free for 2 weeks to see what it was like. And said they would cook at home instead of eating out so often. He wants to learn how to cook gluten-free. (He used to be a chef and he is only 22). My dd hates to cook! Then he bought groceries. All this before Valentines day. I am sure he took her out for dinner tonight...haven't heard what he "cooked" up yet ;)

So how is your bf/ girl friend/ spouse coping?

Hope you all had a sweet Valentine's Day...I made chocolate cupcakes...mmm.

Wow-he sounds like a keeper! It is so great to have the love and support of our family and friends. My mother-in-law has been especially kind during our transition, and has helped our daughter (her only grandchild) cope by learning how to make very delicious gluten-free baked goods--pies and cookies, etc. Prior to my daughters diagnosis, they would spend lots of quality time together baking and rolling out sugar cookies. Now, the tradition continues and I am happy to report the results are even more tasty! Best of all, they have their special time together, which I'm sure my daughter will remember always. It makes me sad to read stories here of resentful or indifferent family members, who make a difficult situation even harder. So, hooray for the loving boyfriend!!

p.s. I made a yummy batch of Pamela's gluten-free brownies for my valentines--chocolate is proof that we are meant to enjoy life :)

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done recently?

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.

      It's not uncommon to experience some bleeding with hemorrhoids but I doubt enough to materially effect your iron levels. About your constipation. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber. A serving of oatmeal will have 3-4 g. Just to give you an idea. It's harder than you think to get 25-30 g of fiber. You have to plan for it and work at it. Getting plenty of hydration is important as well.

      Someone said this could be due to my hemorrhoids. On March 17, 2024 my ferritin level was 23.
