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.

      Refractory Celiac Disease Caused by Rogue Immune Cells

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to post this new study here--it seems that for those who don't recover on a gluten-free diet may be in this group: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.adp6812

      Additional Food Intolerances

      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.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      It does seem like brushing would be needed, and like anything else, a little daily exposure can lead to serious issues for celiacs.

      Young celiac person looking for advice

      By DanteZaffar · Posted

      Thank you! This is very helpful I’ll start looking over everything and writing down what I may be recent to. I suspect minor gluten or another intolerance. Do you have any advice on how to possibly expedite my healing process? I’ve heard taking different herbs and vitamin supplements but it’s a bit overwhelming for how recent I’ve been trying to keep track of my diet. Doing my best to feel better since I’m heaving so many annoying symptoms 😕
