My Husband Is The Best.

He has gone from being totally resistant to even tasting my gluten-free food to agreeing to a gluten free house!!!!!

I think what finally made him decide to go gluten-free at home my most recent glutening. He had been using my cooking utensils, and I got SO sick from using a slotted spatula that must have had a little remnant of gluten stuck in it somewhere. I was vomiting and having D for 3 days straight, and then sick and tired for probably a week afterward.

He felt so bad, and a few days ago he agreed to be gluten-free while at home (he's been eating gluten-free Amy's meals at work, even though I don't care what he eats away from home).

I'm so happy. :wub:

My husband and three kids have done the same. It's a Godsend - I don't know how I'd cook two different meals all the time, anyway!!!

Congrats...on converting him.

my husband is fantastic. i mean, really really fantastic. he is so supportive. i do most of the cooking and there has never been a question of there being anything gluteny involved. he also knows how to check to make sure something is gluten free, so whenever he cooks, i know that it's safe. he only goes to the restaurants that i can eat at (at least with me) and never makes me feel like it's an inconvenience. and he's been this way from the first day of my diagnosis. he's such a gem. a resounding cheer for supportive husbands everywhere. they all deserve big, fat, kisses.

I have to agree! My husband has been really cool, too. Ever since he agreed to get rid of the toaster oven and his sourdough toast... we're not totally gluten free (he still has crackers and cookies) we're about 80% of the way there. And since he stopped drinking over two weeks ago, no worries about beer kisses, either.

It's wonderful having someone supportive like that. Really makes a difference! Oh, and he loves the Seattle Brown EnerG bread - I bought it to try and found once it made it in the door that it has potato in it (not listed on the web site I bought it from) so I can't eat it. But he thinks it's great. So he's been chowing on that... I think I'll have to buy him some more!

Yep, no more beer kisses here either. He has stopped drinking beer at home and now joins me in having a Woodchuck.

He has been so great through all of this. He is always looking out for me when we go places, and if he goes somewhere without me he asks if they have anything that I can eat.

He was being very careful in the kitchen with his gluteny food, but apparently "very careful" isn't always careful enough. Anyway, I think it's so nice that he's willing to do this for me, especially since that means no more gluteny frozen pizzas and bread at home (of course he can eat whatever his little heart desires when he's away from home.)

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
