Does It Annoy You?

Need to Rant:

I am feeling really irritated lately. I have been glutened from CC four times in the last month and a half. I'm not sure exactly where it is coming from, but I think it might be my nannying job. So lately I've been really sensitive.

I just need to rant about this as when this came up I was talking about having had a nightmare where I was back staying with my abusive parents (who I will never stay with again) and they refused to have any food that I could eat in the house. Yes in real life I could go and get food, but in the dream I could not and they literally had nothing.

When I was talking about my nightmare someone who compared my celiac to their CHOICE of being vegetarian. I understand that some people have very strong feelings about their need to be vegetarian. Whether it be spiritual, or ethical. However, it is not the same as being vegitarian, where at least in the US you can pretty much be guaranteed in most, if not all places, these days (though may be somewhat limited in fast food restaurants) being able to get something. And not having to worry about the consequences of becoming sick if someone doesn't switch their gloves. I know after a long time some people have trouble digesting meat, but I've never heard of someone getting sick because of cross contamination with meat.

Somehow or other it is much more acceptable to be a choice vegetarian diner than a necessary celiac diner :blink::rolleyes:

If a veg or a vegan accidentally got some chicken broth in the rice, it would not make them sick. If the kitchen made a salad and put chicken on it and the waitress took it off, they would never know and be fine. Restaurants don't have to be as careful. They can cook a veggie burger right where they just toasted a bun.

That said, a lot of veggie restaurants do gluten-free well.

I have a vegetarian mother-in-law. I give the same response to her in that she has a choice whether or not to eat gluten products or stay vegetarian or whatever. She can be a bit oblivious of what she is doing or saying at times. Most of the time for me is when there has been some good looking cinamon rolls, or cookies or something. She will be standing right infront of me telling me how delicious the item is. I just look back at her and tell her how happy I am that she can enjoy it. From time to time she has eaten meat at family events, like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and it does not seem to bother her. The fnniest thing is that now she tries to say that she feels that she should go gluten free beacause the wheat sometimes makes her feel sick. I've never noticed that to be the case. I have told her as I have told others, that they are doing these things out of choice, while I am doing this out of neccesity. If I eat any gluten, I will end up having at least one seizure at any time following that. I drive 35 miles each way to get to work and home. My mother tries to be vegetarian from time to time, but I get the best of her when I cook steaks and chicken or other meats. She is always very concious of my diet restrictions though.

See ya!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
