Ha Ha!!! Too funny! :lol:

My hubby was hospitalized with the Norwalk virus two years ago, so I can't really call him a "wuss", but that's about the only exception! :D

I had to laugh when I was in the grocery check out last Friday, I thought of this thread as I restrained myself from picking up a grocery item from the lady behind me to check the ingredients! :blink::lol:

The cart in front of me had THREE birthday cakes, packages of cookies, crackers etc.... I'm standing there saying to myself, "Poison, poison, that's poison, oh, more poison!"

I am so thankful for this board, that I can giggle through a situation like that!

:rolleyes:

Have a great day all!

PS, Kaiti, you'll have to campaign in that hat and scarf, I won't recognize you otherwise! :D

Yesterday at the grocery store I saw someone with a cart loaded with nothing but wheat based food. I thought to myself "Wow, I'd be dead before I hit the ground if I ate that."

I love this soooo mcuh! I was wondering if anyone minded if I would put some of these sayings on T-shirts and use them to raise money for celiac research at stanford. I would of course tell everyone where this came from! Just some thoughts, I really like them a lot and it would be good for raising money!

What percentage of the profit would go to research?

I would sell them on cafe press, and make them myself so over 80% of the profits would go to the Celiac Sprue Research Foundation

2. If you're ever said that wheat is a product of satan.

Okay I'm late getting to this post but I just wanted to make sure you all know something that I was reminded of when I read, "You know....if #2"

Here's something I think you will all appreciate:

Gluten is the name of the insoluble protein in wheat, probably most familiar as stuff that makes bread dough elastic. When raw gluten (wheat dough with the starch washed away) has been cooked in a broth of shoyu, ginger, and kombu, it's called "seitan".

And, FYI, "seitan" is pronounced "satan" (Something I learned many years ago in macrobiotics - kind of stuck with me, now I know why!!)

Gluten is Seitan!! Satan? :blink:

I love you guys :)

I thought of one!

You might be a Celiac if suddenly you realize that your obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) could be a *good* thing!

We need Celiacs to run for political posts. The undiagnosed Celiacs need it too, they just don't know it yet.

Start small/local and go from there.

Love you guys,

Laura

Would that be possible for me as a german living in the USA, too? I mean, I'll stay here forever (unless I'm not getting divorced one day) and I have the green card.

You could only do certain things. I think you have to be a citizen of the U.S though. Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of CA, was born in Austria.

Ha, Kaiti, you're right. I forgot that completely. My alien status is called "perminent resident" now. And in about 2.5 years I can apply for the american citizenship...

Yea...if you become a citizen, you could become governor, but not President.

I know, he never will, but I'm just curious, if this would be possible. Could my husband become president with me as his wife? Just curious...

If he was born a US citizen and is over 35 years, then he is eligible.

I recently found myself doing this one:

if you plan a get together and question the guests about any allergies or special dietary needs...and they know you will actually try to feed them.

You can use your loaf of bread in place of weights when excersizing.

That is awesome! Hilarious.

You might be a celiac if:

You're at a party offering food/drinks and you find yourself examining product packages in the garbage :lol:

Donna, I do that all that time! I always have, but even more so now, and I don't think people are expecting it. Sometimes I've gotten a response that makes me feel the person being asked thought it was awfully personal, but still appreciated it.

And it's funny - scary almost - that people trust me so much to know what they can and can't eat. A diabetic at work asked if he could have the brownies I brought in (the raw brownies I keep trying to get everyone on here to make ;-) )and I told him the ingredients and specifically mentioned the no added sugar bit and said "as long as the dates are ok for you" (because I know that some diabetics can handle small amounts of dried fruit, some can't), and it was scary how much he both trusted me, and knew to ask if they might be safe in the first place. ;-) (He was very happy that they were safe and asked for the recipe later too.)

That is so funny...I thought all night long whether that was a dumb post or not and you guys liked it! Here's another one:

You go house hunting and find yourself wondering what they cooked in the kitchen and assessing whether the bathroom has space for a TV and bookshelf.

You might be Celiac if....

~You have your own pantry in your house.

~If you jokingly tell your friends, "Wheat makes you fat."

~If you ever wanted to buy that "Wheat Sucks" T-Shirt.

~If you're upset when your rice bread crumbles.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
