I Have The Best Hubby!

My daughter has several issues that we suspected were related to gluten insensitivity... she has been gluten free now 8 weeks. After focusing on her needs and learning alot I finally connected the dots and realized that my chronic rash had many characteristics of DH... so I went gluten free 5 weeks ago.

While its not been an instant miracle cure for either of us, both of us have experienced enough relief that we are motivated to stay on track. And I don't have to nag my daughter either - she is being very responsible. that's a lot to say for a 17 year old!

Both of us have been totally ok with other family members eating stuff we can't eat. (We're still working out the "divided kitchen" issues.) But our first breakthrough was a really great pizza crust mix - it was so good my husband liked it better than the crusts he had been buying! Then it was on to brown rice pasta - I had been given a sample and he really liked it.

Well my husband has been the chief cook and grocery shopper, but since the beginning of our gluten free experience, I had been making my own separate trip for gluten free items, and I was the preparer of any special gluten free items.

That's not the case any more.... Yesterday hubby was on his weekly grocery shopping trip and he's in the organic foods section and he calls me (I'm still at work mind you! ) and he's reading labels and asking questions... Well he came home with another batch of pizza mix, some Tinkayada pasta, some gluten free bread crumbs (I had been making my own) and a loaf of gluten free bread to try (EnerG brand). He made the pizza last night.... and tonight is preparing a scallop casserole with the bread crumbs. (Ok I know the iodine content of shellfish is not great for DH, but I am not going to rain on this wonderful parade!! Plus being deprived of seafood is worse than being deprived of bread for me, cuz we live where its plentiful and not so expensive!!!)

My hubby is Italian... and he has "converted" to gluten free pizza,pasta and is willing to alter his cooking habits..... how very cool is that????

Last weekend he bought icecream sandwiches, thinking I could eat those... I did not give in to temptation, but simply explained the compents that were bad for me..

Guess what else he bought yesterday..... Gluten Free Ice Cream!!! at last, a Saturday nite treat we both can enjoy!! :D

Yes, he does deserve special treatment!

It is truly wonderful to have such a supportive husband. I was diagnosed last October and spent the holidays learning what I could and could not eat. My husband went out of his way to organic grocery stores near his job to buy gluten free baking mixes, and he spent hours baking pies and cheesecakes that I could eat. He has tweaked some of his favorite recipes to make them gluten free. I do a lot of the cooking in our house, but he's a bit of a foodie and loves to cook big fancy meals on the weekends.

We're so lucky!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
