I hate them. I have recently come across disrespectfull people though facebook and google :( I just read on facebook how some chef cooked Gluten Free on a BBC tv program in the uk and said he is Celiac but every 3 months he has a 2 week break where he eats as much GLUTEN as possible it's messed up . Why do people do stupid things like this ? The public must think it's not a serious disease hearing things like this.

This isn't just disrespectful, it's total ignorance.. :blink:

OMG!!This guy is killing himself. And his understanding of gluten intolerance is all WRONG!

Another chef with no clue. He needs to get some education before he makes himself really sick.

Wow, did anyone read about the chef who deliberately glutens people requesting gluten free meals because it's "all in their heads"??? Craziness... And the message going out to the general public is that Celiac disease is nothing serious. So very very sad. As it was, I was afraid to eat in restaurants. Now, I'm terrified :(

No, hon....let me clarify what I was laughing at....Karen's comment about HIM cracked me up ...that if he offs himself by foolishly eating gluten, so be it....survival of the fittest.... :lol: :lol:

As for him.... I was stunned by his ignorance of what being a celiac means. I wonder if anyone in the UK--like a doctor maybe?--has seen this clip and told him that he is grossly misinformed.

I think the "old school" thought was that you could "desensitize your system " by exposing yourself to wheat...but celiac disease is not an "allergy". I know that some people on here have said that they were DXed as children, but their parents were told to give them wheat again so they could get used it--which of course set them up for a lifetime of ill health and other autoimmune diseases. That's just criminal :o

This is a common misconception and I get a tad defensive whenever someone says "Oh you just have a wheat allergy" .

I try to explain, but I can see by the second sentence into my explanation that their eyes are glazing over with the "I don't really care, but I am feigning interest" Look....

:lol::angry::blink:

PS Nice chinny hat!! :lol:

I tell them it destroys my intestines. That sounds scary to most people.

I'm taking up a collection to buy that poor abused creature a proper hat. Maybe a nice straw sunbonnet.

I guess from now on, I'll cut to the chase and say that too....I have said to people, no, it's not an ACHOO allergy, it's like slow poison to my gut... And they say....oh :blink: ...and that's the end of the conversation and their interest...

as for the hat...yeah, she really does need something a bit more jaunty :lol: :lol: :lol:

I wouldn't brag that about deliberately glutening customers. He could be sued! Did anyone hear about the man that was sentenced to jail time for selling baked goods that were gluten free at a fair (that was not gluten free) I think it was North Carolina? I saw something on my news tonight about this court case. The word might get around that people will be held responsible criminally for on purpose glutening others.

But I thought it was funny too.. :lol: :lol: you guys crack me up.. I'm such a nerd!!

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
