"you Might Be A Celiac If....."

I actually had this happen.

81. You've rolled your eyes when a non-celiac has said to you in a health food store, "I've (voluntarily) tried the gluten free diet before, I felt great"

When I was first diagnosed right before Christmas, the girl at the local health food store said....ok, yes, I can show you around. I am gluten free as well - have been for a couple of years. We have chosen a gluten free lifestyle in our family - much healthier. I don't have to but I like it better that way.

I'm standing there with my mouth open (had to remind myself to close it...) thinking who, in their right mind, would "choose" gluten free....I think I've told everyone I know that one and they agreed with me...

Still makes me laugh. I'm glad you guys brought this thread back to life. Well worth the read just for the laugh and the realization that everyone is in the same boat!

:rolleyes:

I've got one -

You go gluten-free, and suddenly the pile of unread magazines in your bathroom starts getting out of control, and you seriously consider cutting back on subscriptions.

Staying virus free is an excellent by product of this necessity! :D

For me, working with dogs all day, every day, I'm handling urine, feces, animal by-products (pig ears, cow parts etc.), and GLUTEN in the dog food!

I don't scratch my nose without first washing! My hands are red and raw up to my elbows! :unsure:

Oh well, it beats the heck out of a lot of jobs! :D

Yes, there's wheat filling mixed into the filling in some boxing gloves, too. No joke!

You might be a celiac, if...

you're embarrased at a buffet, because someone announced, nobody would be allowed to get food, before you did.

your significant other bursts out with "I swear something's wrong with you! Go to the doctor!" after you farted and he accidentaly smelled it. (true story)

a friend gives you some gluten-snacks as a christmas gift, even though you told them 100 times, you're glutenfree and what that is. (true story as well)

you get excited, because your favorite fun park offers a glutenfree day with lunch in a pavillon especially made glutenfree for celiacs.

The thing with the gluten-snack at christmas happened to me. Actually one of my students gave me a mug filled with pretzels in there with hershey kissed attached to them. I said "thanks for the mug, I can sure use it for my hot chocolate" and gave the pretzels to my husband...

Hugs, Stef

Angel,

This happens to me all the time, I go out, come home, and hey, I'm still hungry. Never ever seem to get as full as I did in a previous life, I have just lost my capacity to eat too much.

You must be coeliac if ......

the day the plumber arrives you have stomach problems and need the loo a bit more frequently That happened to me this morning, plumber arrives and I had to go up the road to use the public loos!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium. A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake. With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.

I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.
