Hubs likes mayo on fries.

Aioli on fries would be even better. :)

Great! just what I need! another "treat" to add to my repertoire --my pants are tight now and SORA is late in delivering the moo moos we ordered.

Sora, Sora. Tsk, tsk. What on earth are we to do with her? :lol:

Don't forget to order a mu mu for me as well. By then I'll probably be about 396 lb, especially if I indulge in more aioli and frites! :D Maybe I'll just use a tent instead.

My son puts mustard on his fries.

My apologies to anyone waiting for a MuuMuu. Canada Post has failed to deliver :o so I am passing this on as compensation.

Wow, who is that singing? Oh, never mind, I see that his name is revealed at the end. Nice guitar work. I'll be going over to Youtube to check out the rest of his stuff. THANKS!

IrishHeart, I hope whatever it is that has you wanting to cry is over with soon. Good people like you should only be happy! Here's a cyber-((((((HUG)))))), and if there's anything any of us can do to help, I'm sure we will all be falling over each other to get there first.

You are one of the best people I've (n)ever met, and that's the truth.

oh boy, that sounds good to me. I'd ask you to make one for me right now...if we lived near each other!

Come on out if you can stand the smoke. I am near the fire you may have read about - the one where a C130 air tanker crashed last night. The smoke is so thick they are telling everyone to stay indoors. I have a touch of asthma and wood smoke is one of my triggers so I am staying indoors for sure.

Got my "go bag" ready (important papers, medications, etc.) and the cat carrier by the door. I have all but one of my guitars cased up and ready to grab, and tonight I'm going to box up all of the family pictures and a few of the things that my Mom and Dad made, as well as the mustard pot that belonged to my great great grandmother, plus all of the papers detailing my family history.

But first I have to clean my CAR because it is so full of junk there's no room for anything! Is clutter a symptom of celiac?

IrishHeart Veteran

! Is clutter a symptom of celiac?

No, I hate clutter!! :lol:

Be careful, please!!

squirmingitch Veteran

Good wishes for you bartful. And hey, watch out cleaning that car out as you will be out in that smoke!

Awww IH, great big hugs (((IH))) & a kiss from me too!

Okay, weird combos ---

The only ones I can think of like Ravenwoodglass the french fries in mayo. And cold leftover meat, either pork or beef generously slathered with mayo, salted & sprinkled (but I usually douse) with lemon juice.

All in all, I'm pretty normal.laugh.gif

And you guys are weird!

Me ducks & runs for cover.......

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!

      It's interesting how a single, clear moment—like struggling during a game—can suddenly connect all the dots and reveal the hidden impact of gluten exposure. Your experience with short-term memory fog is a very real and documented symptom for many individuals with gluten sensitivity, often occurring alongside the other issues you mentioned like mood disturbances, sleep disruption, and digestive irregularity. It's a frustrating and often invisible effect that can make you feel unlike yourself, so that moment of clarity, though born from a tough dominoes match, is actually a powerful piece of self-knowledge. Identifying a specific culprit like that steak strip is a huge win, as it arms you with the information needed to avoid similar pitfalls in the future and protect your cognitive clarity. You are definitely not alone in experiencing this particular set of neurological and physical symptoms; it's a strong reminder of gluten's profound impact on the entire body, not just the digestive system. Supplementation may help you as well.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. What you're describing is a very common and frustrating experience when reintroducing gluten after a period of avoidance, and your timeline is perfectly consistent with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. While a celiac reaction can be more immediate, a sensitivity reaction is often delayed, sometimes taking several days to manifest as your body's inflammatory response builds up; the fact that your symptoms returned a few days after reintroduction is a strong indicator that gluten is indeed the culprit, not a coincidence. Your doctor's advice to reintroduce it was necessary to confirm the diagnosis, as the initial negative celiac test and subsequent improvement on a gluten-free diet pointed strongly towards sensitivity. Many in this community have gone through this exact same process of elimination and challenging, and it's wise to reintroduce gently as you did. Given your clear reaction, the best course of action is likely to resume a strict gluten-free diet, as managing a sensitivity is the primary way to control those debilitating symptoms and allow your body to heal fully.

      Your suspicion is almost certainly correct, and you are wise to be cautious. Draft cider is a very common and often overlooked source of cross-contact because the same tap lines are frequently used for both beer and cider; unless a bar has a dedicated line for gluten-free beverages, which is rare, the cider will run through tubing that has previously contained gluten-containing beer, contaminating your drink. The fact that you didn't react at a clean brewery suggests they may have had more meticulous practices or separate lines, but this is the exception, not the rule. Many in the community have had identical experiences, leading them to strictly avoid draft cider and opt for bottled or canned versions, which are poured directly from their sealed container and bypass the contaminated tap system entirely. Switching to bottles or cans is the safest strategy, and your plan to do so is a smart move to protect your health. PS - here are some articles on the topic:

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.
