Celiac Humor

I have lived with Celiac Disease for over 37 years. Though not so funny back then, most of my humorous stories would have to be from the "pre-diagnosis through diagnosis" period. However, the other day- during a brief moment of enlightenment- I came up with my first "Celiac" joke. I hope you enjoy it...

***Jeff Ash's Truly Original Celiac Joke***

While ordering dinner the other night, I was going through my usual routine of telling the waitress what I could, and couldn't, eat off of the menu. Somewhat confused, the waitress asked me what happened if I ate foods containing wheat, or gluten.

I told her that it was somewhat embarrassing and that I didn't feel comfortable discussing it in public. She told me that her mother used to be an RN and that she had heard everything. The waitress told me not to be embarrassed and to tell her what my symptoms were.

I told her that gluten gave me an erection that lasted over 4 hours.

She quickly turned away from the table, but in an instant she returned and placed a basket of rolls, and a loaf of french bread on the table.

"I get off at 9 o'clock" she said.

I hope I haven't offended anyone and that you enjoyed this joke as much as my friends and I have.

I got's chuckle on that one! At least the waitress responded to your situation eh? ;) There is a gab chat forum where the more serious, high brow types around here hangout. They even have a funny pages thread for the more erudite discussions of psillyac life. They recently lowered the entry requirements to only 3 phd's so people like me can occasionally visit too. They don't know all mine are E-bay phd's so shhsshh..!

The funny pages (for high brows ornerly)

Along those same lines... sort of.. when I was first talking to my physician about a possible diagnosis he was reading off the notes his assistant had made before he entered the room. He was asking general health questions when he read and re-read my chart and then asked why I was interested in Cialis. I was taken aback for a moment before I realized that even my spell check refuses to recognize the word "celiac." Once we cleared that up we were off and running towards a correct diagnosis. Add brussel sprouts to the mix and there is no need for the bread basket whatsoever.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
