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

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
