I think you & Lisa just misunderstood each other. That's all I was trying to clear up.

Yes, thank you Karen, apparently I misunderstood the statement. A lesson learned not to skim a post before commenting :D

I think we did too. Sorry Lisa. I am in a foul mood today too because I've been nauseous for weeks. I posted a thread about it.

Let's get back to the original subject. How do you cope in general? I could use some more ideas because this nausea is obviously making me a grouch. LOL

Well...good girls! I remember SSG to be a reasonable person, so I knew she didn't think the evil gluten had sharp teeth and was burrowing into her hands in order to attack her gut. ( might make a good horror movie?)

SSG - you have extra to handle. I suppose you can be grouchy if you want. I'm actually quite grouchy about my family & Thanksgiving. I'm wondering if it's to late to go to Disney.

I do try to find something funny when I'm grouchy or depressed. I have subscribed to a few things on Facebook just to get pics of silly animals or things like that. Some days I don't even look at them but they are there if I can't find anything else.

Yeah it's been a rough time that's for sure. Glad we cleared that up!

Are you talking So Cal Disney or Florida? We have passes and we go a lot.... when I'm well that is.

Don't really care! Both are good! Just want to run away! Somewhere where someone else can make me food!

I'd have to have a xanax to deal with Disney World. :D (Remembering when some chick with a stroller knocked my mom's walker out from under when rushing to the fireworks.) I wanted to throttle her!

LOL! :P We never go near the place Thanksgiving weekend though. It's the busiest weekend of the year and black Friday is the very busiest day of the year there. I think they usually get to capacity. Craziness!

While I don't agree with everything in the above post, YES gluten from shampoo can get into your mouth while in the shower. It's easy to remove that aspect, so it's no longer a possibility when you get ill from other sources. :)

lol have you ever tasted shampoo? haha that stuff is nasty :P last thing i would do is swallow it

about 6-8 months i went a little nuts, thinking i was "all better" AND i overdid it with stuff that bothers me less and less as time goes by: nightshades, soy, dairy, etc. also thinking that just because they SAID it was safe doesn't mean it is: my blood pressure meds - called the manufacturer and they said the drug was safe so i took them. ran out for a week (i know, bad arlene) and my guts calmed down. turns out the capsule the drug is in is made of some kind of starch nobody could tell me what it was made of. so now i take the drug out of the capsule (called pharmacy and they said this was ok to do) and i'm fine with it. annnd the hand sanitizer/lysol wipes thing: went camping, was miserable - now i make sure i wash my hands with (gluten-free) soap and rinse with h2O if we camp. also separate my gluten free food in my own cooler :)

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
