If....

you can button your pants in the morning, but they no longer fasten after breakfast

If....

"gas prices" makes you think of your grocery bill instead of your car tank ;)

You might be Celiac if:

There is a 10-fold chance of your kids saying: "She's in the bathroom" when someone calls...... (even though you drill it through their heads over and over again not to say that!!!! How embarrassing!) ;)

the pant buttoning thing is classic.

The family just doesnt understand why you buy your pants a size bigger and look like a clown in the morning.

Haven't seen this one yet...

You might be a Celiac if.... you wash your hands AT LEAST 100 times a day! :blink:

Yea...true. I did that even before diagnosis, though. I thought maybe my immune system was terrible, so I'd wash my hands all the time to try to avoid getting sick.

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

It will be quite a while before Katie and celiac3270 can run for president but in a few years they could at least run for the House of Representatives. :)

LOL... :lol: how old do you need to be to become a member of the house? Wouldn't it be hysterical if I actually ran for some political position someday? :P

Stranger things have happened. :lol:

18 for the House, 30 for the Senate and 35 for president along with being a natural born citizen. You don't have to be a natural born citizen for the House and Senate but I don't remeber how many years you have to be a naturalized citizen before you can run. Those are the only restrictions so Celiacs can run for office. :)

That gives you a good 18 months to get your campaign going before the 2006 elections. :)

you may be a celiac if:

when you go on vacation, you have two bags...one for your clothes and one for your food.

the one for your food is bigger.

seeing the words "gluten free" on a mainstream item has ever caused you to dance a jig in the middle of the canned food aisle in the grocery store.

and you are not in the least embarrassed by that.

you've ever listened to someone complaining about the awful stomach virus they had over the weekend and thought, "wuss".

True, true, and true :lol: ...no jig, but a constrained jumping up and down session. :D:P:lol:

You might be a celiac if:

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

You are a regular at Outback, PF Changs and the local sushi restaurant.

The people at TCBY know you and immediately go get your topping from its original container in the back of the store.

You always have a packet of salad dressing/soy sauce in your bag at all times.

You bring your own sauce when you go out to eat.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
