Lost My Temper

So you all know I'm having a reaction to that dry mustard. So I summon up the courage to go to the market on my way home from work (which I left early from, with permission) to get a bag of chicken breasts.

My pinky and ankle go "numb" when I have a reaction, I get tunnel vision, I swear sweat (turns out I do swear )

it's all I can do to hold myself together to go in that big store.

I'm coming out of one of the aisles and this foolish man boy dude thing came racing around the corner pulling a huge pallet thing behind him, hit my cart with it, hit me with his arm or something and I tumbled into the cookies that I can't freaking EAT!

Before I knew it, I go, "WTF is wrong with your stupid self?" He just kept going! :o I go "HEY! STUPID PERSON! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?" This old man goes, "son, you knocked this lady over, just nearly." Then he turns around, I guess cuz an elder MAN spoke to him.

I go, "Seriously, why why why would you act like that?" He don't say nothing, so I go "Whatever, you're a nasty effin' creep."

I do NOT act and talk and go off like that, so it musta been part of my reaction I don't know, but damn,

wanna know a secret?? it was fun

I'm thinkin of taking it up full time :D :D

You go Connie! I would have huffed up to the service desk and loudly demanded to speak to the manager. The store really doesn't want people like that working there. If you were hurt, they could be sued.

You definately should have gone immediately to the manager. What if you had been an elderly woman with osteoporosis! There was no excuse for his not stopping and at least apologizing. He deserved all you gave him and then some!!!!!

I would have been mad too. There was no excuse for his behavior and not saying he was sorry and making sure you were alright. People just don't use their manners anymore and it is sad. I preach manners to my children. Here is something else to consider. While he may not have had any intention on appoligizing, he may not wanted any further confrontation with you after you started having words with him (I probably would have said something offstandish myself). I think people like this get away with this behavior because people don't report it.

It never occurred to me to tell the manager. We all know each other by name there. The guy was a soft drink vendor, he doesn't work for the store directly which is even worse I suppose. He's new, I haven't seen him before.

All I wanted to do was get back in my car and sit down, that's all I was thinking of. And that old man was givin' it to him pretty good.

I'll go up there tomorrow and tell them what happened. Now, typical me, I'm feeling sorry for the stupid guy... he's young, he's obviously got a new job, he was trying to hustle and do good.....but still, what he did was wrong on a lot of levels.

I once hit a man with my cart, on purpose! This was many years ago before I had a child. I was shopping alone. Going down an aisle and nearing the end when a man with a little boy came blasting around the corner, ramming his cart hard into mine and getting it shoved back into my legs. It hurt! He said nothing. Didn't even look at me and just kept on going. I was flabbergasted!

Not long after, I saw him standing by the dairy case. So I said not a word, just came up behind him and rammed in lightly but quickly in the back of his legs with my cart. Of course he screamed. Said something like, "So you think it's okay to hit a person with a little kid?" And then I replied, "Well, I guess you think it's okay to hit a person without a little kid!" Then I hightailed it to the checkout.

I think I've only been back to that store once since. I really hate it. There is not enough room in the aisles the way it is laid out. But that still didn't give him any excuse to ram me likt that.

That's why pregnant women should travel with wingmen (women) - so when some crazy *itch like that acts up we can take them down for you. Or, you know, tail her out to her car and freakin CALL THE COPS FOR ASSAULT!!!! How can you do that to a pregnant woman?!?!?

I was 23 then. I've grown quite a pair since then! ;) There's no way I'd take that nowadays! I hate Costco anyways. I'm always in defense mode when I go there now--And NEVER on a Sunday after church--that's when all the crazies show up!!

What if we all went shopping together? That would be scary. We would wear matching gang shirts and push our carts next to each other taking up the whole aisle.

In the midst of all this venting, I want to share a good shopping experience.

I was at Costco, and some little boy raced out in front of me. I screeched my cart to a halt, waited for him to return to his parents, and kept going. A few minutes later I realized the boy and his dad were following me. When the finally caught up, the dad looked at his son, raised his eyebrow, and motioned to me. Very contritely, the boy came up and apologized for almost running into me. I told him it was alright, and thanked him for taking the time to come up and say something to me.

Sorta reaffirmed my belief in the human race, and all it was, was a dad taking the time to parent his child. :)

This reminded me of something my husband told me. He is a butcher for a local grocery and is the manager of the department. He is constantly having to throw away meat product because people, especially children, poke holes in the shrink wrap. This costs him money since he can not resell the item. This really makes him mad. On several occasions he has approached the kids/parents that he has caught doing this and gets no response, no boo, sh*t..nothing. One day he saw a kid poke a hole in a package of hamburger. The child's father picks up the package and brings it and the child over to my husband. He has the child appoligize and offers to pay for the meat. Hubby was so impressed that someone took the time to do the right thing that he said that it was not necessary to pay for it and thanked him for appoligizing. So, there is still hope yet!

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
