Bedroom Ceiling Has To Come Down!

Several months ago, my bedroom had a severe leak due to having an improper roof. I live in a condo and they are going to send a contractor over Monday to take my ceiling down, remove damaged insulation, treat for moisture and put new ceiling and plaster up then paint.

I'm stressed over the delay in repairs, I have a hole in my ceiling with plastic covering it and a board nailed up there to hold ceiling up. The roof has been repaired. They sent one qualified person over but I assume their estimate was too much as they are not using them.

Monday a contractor is coming over to start the work.

Has anyone been thru something like this? Did it cause any issues?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Be certain to not let them use pre mixed plaster if they are going to have to sand it afterward. The pre mix invariably has starch in it which is usually gluten! The dust goes everywhere and his hard to get rid of! Breathing it in is not good I have discovered through experience...

Fortunately the old fashioned plaster of paris is usually safe. Sometimes it has corn in it--though even there its good to check on it to make sure. Alaternatly, you can have them spray the ceiling with texture that they don't have to sand...

I know--I am in charge of repairs for 10 rentals...

Thank you, Yolo!

Do you recommend a certain brand I could ask him to get?

The sprayed ceiling (popcorn-we call it) it not desirable here. Is that what you are referring to?

I am quite concerned about the dust and containment issues.

OMG, OMG, OMG. You just explained my awful asthma attacks after repairing and repainting my kitchen walls! I couldn't figure out why the particular paint I was using was making me so sick when paint is usually fine with good ventilation.

Bah. Nevermind. I just checked and this particular brand has no starch. Wonder if I'm allergic to something else in it though. I never though of the joint compound.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
