Finally A Fun Work Event

Every month on the last Thursday we have a staff meeting where they provide water and Subway Cookies. The last one I went to I brought some Whole Foods Pecan cookies, which were ok, but kinda dry and I was sad. This time I have Kinnikinick chocoalte chip cookies.

I have this engineer guy that I work with who I joke with alot, I'm just one of the guys, etc. I've been talking to him ( and everyone else) incessantly about Celiac.

I go into the meeting and go to sit down next to him. He is sitting there eating a cookie and starts making num num noises and eating it very ostentatiously ( nobody get mad, its the kind of relationship we have) . I take out my little ziplock baggie of chocolate chip cookies and start eating them in big bites and going mmmmmmmm oooooohhhh mmmmmmmhmmmmm.

He looks at my cookies for a minute and says "oh man those look really good, can I have one?"

Hehehehehehehe. I said no, and finished them, then licked the crumbs out of the bag.

He asked me where I got them when we left.

<maniacal giggle>

I thought it was hysterical, and since every single other work event has sucked, I thought I'd share the fun.

Those cookies are so good its all I can do to keep from eating the whole box.

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
