Traveling... Ugh

So we are in the middle of the elimination diet and have to rush 500 miles from home, driving overnight last Sunday for a funeral. :(

So anyways, we think we are making progress with eliminating foods (see sig) and Timothy (our son) seems to be getting better, but BOOM middle of this week symptoms return. Fatigue, GI issues, etc. Using paper plates, actually brought his cup from home even. :) We are staying with family that is understanding and supportive, but the house is full of stuff we have eliminated from his diet.

We packed all our own food, even have a fridge for our truck where we bring his Coconut milk, oj, meats, and other safe cold products. So the question is... is it more likely that he got CC'd up here, or that we have more foods to eliminate?

Is it possible he just needs some time to heal? Any chance he could have caught a bug from all those people?

I guess anything is possible? Maybe we just have to ignore this week and start over next week (well still keep him off things)

It seems to me that recovery is often 2 steps forward, one step back. There isn't anyway of knowing if it is a cc issue...and you have done all you can to prevent it. Or could be withdrawal. Or a virus. Or another food issue. :)

Frustrating, I know! Just keep at it, and you will start to havee fewer and fewer bad days, and eventually be able to see more of a pattern.

Oh, there are so many different ways to cross contaminate by relatives, I won't list them or I would be contributing to generalized paranoia.

Watch this. This is at my house by my otherwise sainted spouse. I just found out he's been using the kitchen sponge scrubbie on the dish he eats out of, with the ONE THING we still have in the house, that I react to, because he's been hand washing it instead of putting it in the dishwasher. (to avoid cooties from getting IN the dishwasher.) Same sponge scrubbie I use to hand wash my baking dishes and mixing bowls and colanders/graters. I have very, very sensitive skin.

I've heard that paper plates some kinds can have gluten but we use them with no issues.

There are many things that could cause those feeling, like simply being in a new place. I never sleep well, do I get fatigued and nauseous, it actually mimics glutening,but I know that it's because I'm out of my element. That could be your issue. Either way, paddle on! Don't let a minor setback ruin your flow because you're bound to run into those from time to time. :)

He didn't know hehe it's kind of cute though that he was going out of his way to do it by hand as to not contaminate the dishwasher! I give him snaps for that, you'll have to get your own scrubbies and hide them from him!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
