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 :)

Gluten is Satan. Well that explains a lot doesn't it.

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.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
