If You Could Eat Whatever You Wanted And

I'm watching the Food Network the other night and they were doing a show all about Donuts. Boy, talk about hitting below the belt! it was real hard to sit there and watch all those Krispy Kreme Donuts and think I may never enjoy them again :(

So it got me to thinking (Can you smell the smoke?).......What if you were granted a wish and could eat whatever you wanted for one day with no side effects? What would your top three choices be?

Here's mine:

(1) Little Debbie Nutty Bars (Sniffle, Sniffle)

(2) Giradanno's Deep Deep Pizza from Chicago (And Don't Forget The Beer!)

(3) Double Stuff Oreo's & A Glass of Ice-Cold Whole Milk to dunk them into.

Let's hope this miracle gluten-free pill that is rumored to be in the works become a reality so we can go back to enjoying some old favorites.

Thanks For Playing!

P.S. GO TRIBE!!!!!!!!

Awww ((hugs)), I know just how you feel. I think sugar cookie dough is the best cookie dough on the planet! I will probably have to make sugar cookies at Christmas cuz my kids love them. It will be torture! If I'm gonna have a weak moment and cheat, the sugar cookie dough will do me in! The fish fry I can live without, lol, never did like fish!

I wonder if my mom can make some kind of decent gluten-free sugar cookie dough. She made a really good gluten-free poppyseed cake for me (tasted just like the real thing), maybe she can do it.

I am kinda the strange one here. I have NEVER likes pasta, beer nor bread so going gluten free for me is not so bad (other than the weird ingred. you have to read at the grocery store) I guess my body was telling me something all along.

I do crave a McD's Double Cheeseburger and Fried Chicken (which I have not tried with gluten-free Flour yet).

Necco's carry me through the "pitty parties".

Well, I've been gluten-free since I was two years old so I don't even know what gluten and "regular" food tastes like. I guess that's good because I don't get cravings for gluten food.

But, I would try:

1) A big, fat doughy bagel like the ones that my family eats every weekend that smell SOOOO GOOD

2) Mr. Noodles Soup

3) A real hamburger

Just because I'm curious about what these things taste like.

I believe Smarties are gluten free...they are a Nestle product aren't they? That's one of those brands that won't hide anything on labels and I think they are safe...I need to check the label again to make sure.

Smarties in Canada are not gluten-free. It states wheat flour clearly right on the box. Smarteis are a totally different candy here, candy coated chocolates similar to M&M's only better, lol.

That makes sense then....I was wondering what you were talking about because Smarties here are gluten free to my knowledge. Just comes to show how different countries are so different.

1) veggie pizza ('cause I can't have the cheese either)

2) sourdough bread

3) oatmeal

But I wouldn't rely on a pill anyway, so those are all in the "permenantly delete" pile. :-(

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
