Crying Over Chicken!


MegRie

Recommended Posts

MegRie Rookie

Well, I've been out of town for almost a weeks so the food for me at home is pretty scarce. As I was out and about running errands today I got REALLY hungry. So I went to Bk for some tasty gluten free fries. "I'm sorry, we aren't serving fries yet." The drive-thru girl told me. BLAUGH! Well, at least there is a chick-fil-a across the street. I'll go over there get some tasty waffle fries and a plain fillet and eat it when I get home. Well I finally get home, I'm completely starving at this point so I get my tapioca bread spread some of my gluten-free ranch dressing on it. I can already taste that chicken. AGGHHHH what's this- BREADED CHICKEN.... and then I cried. I couldn't believe I was crying because my chicken was breaded. But I was so hungry and I hardly ever look forward to eating anymore, but I really wanted that chicken.

The moral of this story:

If you have celiac disease. Try not to let yourself get that hungry in the first place. Normally I have snacks on hand, but after being out of town I found myself very unprepared in my own home. I've discovered that Lara bars, cheese and fruit, nut thins, and horizon milk cartons are very helpful while out and about.

Well here's to not crying over breaded chicken! :D

and.. thanks for letting me vent!

big virtual hug - been there, done that, and cried about it.

I think you're absolutely right: getting hungry when we're out, and don't have safe snacks on hand, so often leads to disaster. And then when you're still hungry and can't eat, or you eat and get sick, it's just that much worse. We all need a good cry sometimes, anyway, huh? ;)

Oh my, this very thing happened to me today!!

Went to Jason's Deli and ordered everything to go, we were taking it to my grandmother's to eat with her. I was so excited that they had Udi's bread!!! Ordered our meals, raved about

how excited I was, thank everyone for being so nice and drive the 1/2 hour to grandma's. Imagine my total disappointment when I pull everything out of the bag and see that my order didn't make it!!!! :blink: I was crying over an empty bag! :(

Not to mention cranky... I get sooo cranky when I can't get something to eat.

that sucks about not getting your food, but that is exciting that Jason's Deli is offering Gluten-Free options!

I so understand!! We were recently motel-ing it for a week. The motel refrig malfunctioned & froze all my veggies & fruit, the stuff in the freezer all thawed out - the final straw was when I took my loaf of bread out of the the ice chest and it crumbled into a zillion bread crumbs! I sat on the motel floor in front of the refrig and cried. !! I think we all understand being hungry and having no food!!!

Yeah, I can relate. Got the holiday See's catalogue in the mail today. I thought "YIPPIE, See's chocolates." Sat down to read it and remembered I can't eat See's anymore because I'm now horribly allergic to soy.

Yes, I cried. It sucks to know I can never have another See's Thin Mint. And no, I don't want to hear that so and so's is just as good. It's not, it never is; never at any point in the last four years has anything been as good as what I now can't eat.

Had it been me, I would have cried over the breaded chicken too. Heaven knows I've cried over far sillier things since the adventure began four years ago this month . . . .

I've had 2 meals at Jason's Deli and both times I felt great, other than being very full. I come from Toronto where Deli is an art form. Here in Texas, Jason's makes a very decent sandwich and now that it is on Udi bread, I am in heaven. I had a sandwich this past weekend and although I had to eat it with a fork and a knife because the bread didn't hold up, it was delicious. I took half home and toasted it and it held up better. The meat does not contain nitrites, and the chips are delish!

It is a restaurant that I can go with DH or friends and not feel what I order is strange.

I always check my take-out orders before I leave the restaurant to make sure they're correct. There's no way I want to risk getting all the way home with the wrong food.

That is something I need to remember! Lesson learned.

      I have had very mild rosacea on my cheeks for years. I also am celiac abd have recently been diagnosed with rosacea in one eye. I have been prescribed eye drops during the day and a gel at night.

      Although diagnosed with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis, I was curious about the celiac genetics and had that testing done on my own. Unfortunately, the lab does not explain the results and any doctor I have asked said I would need to see someone specializing in genetics. I was hoping someone out there might help me understand. Here is what came back and although I understand the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, I wasn't sure what the variants mean and why they repeat twice. Someone said it was a double marker meaning both of my parents gave me copies. I also read having this combination makes my celiac potentially much worse. HLA DQ2 - Positive | HLA DQ8 - Negative HLA Variants Detected: HLA DQA1*05 and again HLA DQA1*05 HLA DQB1*0201 and again HLA DQB1*0201

      Understanding that normal is <15, I started off with 250+, then using the same lab it took two years to get to 11, the last test was 3. So, it jumped back up for some reason which is why I suspected gluten in my diet somewhere. I do not do dairy, eggs, oats, or soy. I am vegan and gluten free, and take numerous supplements with the help of this forum.

      I just want to post this new study here--it seems that for those who don't recover on a gluten-free diet may be in this group: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.adp6812
    • Scott Adams
      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
