Hi There


Howard the Celeriac

Howard the Celeriac Newbie

Hello everybody,

My name is Howard and I have been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease for 7 years now.

I am from the UK where we spell Coeliac in a funny way, and I work in IT for my day job and draw cartoons about my disease in my spare time.

I have taken an interest in a lot of news articles from the US lately where the diet seems to be becoming a popular fad for those without the medical condition, which on the positive side seems to be creating a boom in gluten free product development.

Catch you around,

Howard the Celeriac

Welcome Howard, I am glad you found us! You know that's not the only thing you all spell funny though. Actually I think the forum spell checker doesn't like either the US or the English spelling. Colour me confused. :) Good to see another artist join the ranks too. :)

Pretty funny stuff. You should be our Celeriac sales rep.

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
