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?)

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
