Are there any of you out there that get frustrated and tired of dealing with food all the time and having to think about what you can and cannot fix and eat. I've had Celiac for about 9 years six years undiagnosed with anemia and then with capsular endoscopy viola Celiac.. Simply there are time that I just hate food-and subsequently I go for the easy stuff that has sugar and I drink alot of coffee. Would appreciate some input..

My heart goes out to you! I am new to this forum with Fibro/undiagnosed celiac..

however testing foods.

I get so SICK of rotating foods, trying this..not that..bending over in pain...

exhaustion...

etc...Now, I am trying to do rotation diet for my son with milk.

All i can say is..."AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

I am with you!!!!!!!!!!!

I SERIOUSLY could go raw food easily. Smoothies, salads/DONE! However, I have

a child and a hubby to think of and it complicates it.

I have no clue yet if mine is gluten/dairy...both....neither...or something

odd like apples! LOL...but something is KILLING me, and has been for years.

So, you are not alone! As I try to make lunches for my son with no dairy..

and then add things back in. I don't know what works, and what is not.

It is one huge pot of CONFUSION soup!

So, I feel your pain and I am exhausted from it all too.

BTW, how did the pill cam work? was it easy to swallow?

May need to do that.

Hang in there!!!!

I've been at this for over five years. I know what you mean, although for me it's frustrated about eating out. I hate having to think about where there is a place with a gluten-free menu or feeling like a scene from When Harry Met Sally.

Eating at home and shopping is just habit at this point. If I'm tired/lazy I grab produce, cheese, peanut butter, potatoes, that kind of thing. I never have to bother with labels in the produce section and can shop "normally", whatever that means. Sugar is bad news for me, so I tend to avoid it.

Yes, I do get frustrated. Like today when I saw a new (to me anyway) frozen food that looked safe. But a scan of the ingredients showed that it contained wheat.

Or when the other mothers tell me to send my daughter to Subway or McDonalds or the teriyaki place for dinner when she is at the dance studio. I wish! Would make it sooo much easier.

I also worry about what's going to happen when she moved out on her own. Some of the gluten-free foods are soooo expensive!

I've only been gluten-free since August, and most of it is getting to be 2nd nature for me, but some days I do get frustrated. I love the Food Network cooking shows. On bad days I sit there and think, "can't eat that, or that, or that...". Or, if I smell something someone made at work that smells sooo good, but I know I can't eat. Most days are not bad days and I have found ways around most of my favorite foods and gotten used to gluten-free breads, so usually "Life is Good"....but there are days! :(:rolleyes:

You could always strive to be the person at work who causes envy with their lunch...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      Fusilli Pizzeria, Miller Place, NY

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious...

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      By nancydrewandtheceliacclue · Posted

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.
