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

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ekelsay · Posted

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

      Very true. I also suffered from candidiasis which had affected my intestines and toes. I think this might have triggered my gluten intolerance/celiac.
