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.)

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
