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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
