Great Experience

Hi all,

Just wanted to share a lovely experience. Started a new job in an institution of higher ed (Harvard School of Public Health) and e-mailed the chef in the cafe that serves that area of the campus about lunches. She met me today to discuss what I need to avoid and worries about contamination since about everything is served on a salad bar or hot bars. If there's ever nothing that I want to eat, she'll even whip up something that I CAN eat. I just have to call her before I drop downstairs!

excellent resource, since there's not too much else around that seems like a good option, other than grocery store'ing it.

The chefs on my campus (University of Texas at Austin) are also more than happy to accommodate my dietary restriction. Most of them handed me their personal cellphone numbers, so I could call before I head down for my meal. I'm glad you have access to "safe" food while on campus, and I'm happy to hear that the people in your area are so understanding.

Also, congratulations on your new job. At Harvard! Wow!

That's great news. I'm back in college and these posts make me wonder if maybe there is something I can eat on those long days at campus. I'll have to check things out as it would be so nice to not have to cook on the days I have late classes. Congrats on the new job and I hope everything continues to go well.

      Follow up endoscopy and biopsy 14 years post celiac diagnosis

      By RMJ · Posted

      Not only is the doctor being ridiculous, having her make herself ill so he can re-diagnose her already diagnosed celiac disease, but one week of gluten, while able to cause GI symptoms, might not be enough to cause new damage visible with a biopsy. So if she follows his advice he might say she doesn’t have celiac disease! She needs a different doctor.

      Ibuprofen

      Welcome to the forum, @Colleen H! NSAIDs can damage small bowel villi like celiac disease does and can also cause peptic ulcers. It would be safer to use a prescription COX 2 inhibitor like celecoxcib which are easier on the gut. But even they should be used as sparingly as possible.

      Apparently, the new GI doc is not buying the previous diagnosis of celiac disease and feels the need to confirm it for himself/herself. I would look for another doctor.

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all !! Just curious because I am reading opposite information when I try to research. I'm fairly new.  I have all the strange symptoms including horrible jaw pain  Are we " allowed"  to take ibuprofen for jaw and back pain ?  If not any suggestions? I noticed with this pain also comes the nausea.  I find myself eating unsweetened applesauce.  Then having to take something for pain.😞. However, im wondering if I'm just creating a larger mess for myself if I should not be taking ibuprofen. I am open to suggestions and thank you so much !!

      My college age daughter has been having pain. She has had reflux and ulcers, as well as celiac.  She has been gluten-free for 14 years.  She found a new gastro in her college town and he scheduled an endoscopy with biopsies.  He told her she must eat gluten every day for a week prior to biopsy. I am stumped by this.  We know she has celiac.  She had a biopsy and it was positive. She has all the genes, etc.  Why is he saying she needs to eat gluten?  She will be so sick? Is normal?  We have never had this before.
