Here We Go Again, Stupid Duh Moment.

Well, had another of my duh moments. Felt like knocking my head against the wall. For you newbies out there I've been gluten free since April of last year. Had all differnt kinds of symptoms which thankfully have just about all gone away.

Anyway, I am a truck driver and there for a while I teamed with my sweetie and well long story short we split up. We were still together just not driving together. Anyway, have been gluten free since then and was doing great. Then last October Sweetie talked me into teaming with him again. Well, he's not gluten free and he gets that food has gluten in it and I can't eat it but he still dosen't quite understand the cross contamination thingy as he calls it. Well, ever since we got back together i've slowly gone downhill. I realized today why i've been regressing. Last night, I got up in the middle of the night to do some business, talked with sweetie who was driving, for a few minutes and then went back to bed.

During the times h'e driving I will make him a sandwich or 2 or he will stop somewhere to get something to eat on the go. Last night while I was talking to him he was eating a cheeseburger.

Fast forward to this morning. Here I am driving reaching into my sack of grapes and eating them when I thought back to last night.

Sweetie eating his cheeseburger WITHOUT THE WRAPPER! Thinking back to all those sandwiches he ate WITHOUT A NAPKIN! The steering wheel is CONTAMINATED! The shifter, the radio, etc. I started crying. First upset because why didn't I see this and then happy because I can hopefully get to feeling better now.

Then to top it off, when sweetie got up and I happily explained I now know what is wrong. He accuses me of just trying to GET RID OF HIM! I can't win for losing.

So everyone make sure your significant other isn't contaminating your vehicle.

I'm gonna go lay down for awhile and chill, everyone have a good evening

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
