Let's Hope I Can Be This Calm If It Ever Really Does Happen

After months of looking for something suitable, I recently found rice pasta (no corn, no soy - hooray!). I was excited to see the same brand had a stall at the Gluten Free Food Expo I attended yesterday, and bought a packet of their spaghetti.

Well, apparently my sub-conscious is as excited about this new find as I am. I had a dream last night about going into my kitchen to find the packet of spaghetti on the bench...EMPTY! And strands left in the sink - wastage! Surprisingly, I didn't scream, 'WHO DARED TO EAT MY SPAGHETTI!!??', but calmly asked if they didn't have any of their regular spaghetti they could have cooked up instead.

I was very impressed at keeping my cool, even though, I know it was only a dream. Still...I decided it would be good to use this to my advantage and told my (gluten eating, but very supportive) partner all about it this morning...I think he is now suitably scared to eat my specialty foods and I won't have to buy a safe to keep it all in afterall :lol:

Lol... I've not had the dream, but did have it happen in real life! My dd and her friend made brownies from MY gluten-free brownie mix! :blink:

Oh no! Did they not realise? I feel very selfish sometimes when I have that initial thought, 'But that's 'MY' food!', but then sometimes you just can't help but think of the cost/lack of convenience in finding suitable foods right away and so on.

(Did you at least get to eat some of the brownies?)

      Any Gluten-free Lipstick At Walgreens, Wal-mart, Etc?

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.
