Crying Over Chicken!

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.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
