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.)

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?
