    In my house, we say 'explosive rear-end-itis' if people are rude, and simply 'bathroom issues' if people are being polite. Should have seen the look on my grandmother's face after we said 'explosive rearenditis'

    Sorry, but as the partner of a celiac, I'm saying 'don't do it.' It takes less than a gram to cause a reaction. My wife gets a fever from much, much less than that. My wife got a fever from a smartie. Just. One. Smartie. The risks are not worth it. Cancer, osteoperosis, continual malnourishment... my wife was bordering on scurvy before we were diagnosed...

    Even if cross contamination isn't an issue, "It was just once slice of toast" mentality can be. If you both go gluten-free, it removes all temptation from the house, which can help when the denial phase kicks in.

    The weather sucked? No way! We got snowed on, it was cold. Flippin' fantastic if you ask me! I love the cold weather. I know it gets hot in the summer, but it'd be worth it for the winters. Toronto was fantastic, it really was. Sure, I cried like a little girl going up to the top of the CN tower [she won't let me live it down!] and we got lost on the...

    Things I hate about Celiac- 1: The days my wife comes home from work and mutters 'They offered me cake again.' 2: The mood swings and the 'I'm gonna jump off the harbour if I can't have cake' days, although those have eased now that the glutening is under control. 3: Can you kill gluten by cooking it well? Uhhhh.... no. 4: Signs in stores that...

    My wife gets a fever so bad she gets delerium... she was hallucinating last time that she was one of the X-men! She gets the shakes and palpitations too, can't get warm, photophobia... You're not the only one!

    Someone did that to me, I'd have them out the door on their rear, married or not. I'm not celiac, my wife is, and I guess she's lucky that it was me that did the research and me that bullied her into eating properly and cutting out the gluten, so we don't have to do this. I'm glad that we live far enough away from our families that its been nearly a year...

    Well, we just got back, and it was fantastic! Thank you everyone, so much! We ate at Il Fornello, and it was amazing! Smiles all around! We also ate at Swiss Chalet, which was good, and the Perkin's Restaurant attatched to the hotel were also really happy to substitute the free toast or muffin with the meal for a fruit cup or grilled vegetables. If...

    As a non-celiac, this thread makes me pretty sad. My wife got diagnosed last year, and it was me doing all the pushing- as in 'have you checked the label?' 'Are you sure thats safe?' 'you know you shouldn't eat that'. I cannot understand why when you have a diagnosed medical condition someone can still say 'its all in your head.' Sure, my gStepdad's lukemia...

    St John Wort? I'll write that down. Other people have recomended that we take extra vitamins and such, but I've always been a little resistant to taking any kind of supplemet, especially considering that all our food is cooked fresh and I've read that if you take too many it can cause liver damage.

    My wife is still at the depressed phase. We've been gluten free for the best part of eight months now, and I haven't gone near it for six, but she's still struggling somewhat. Whenever we go past a bakery, or a cafe, or even see an ad with someone eating bread she gets gloomy and irritable. Me cutting out all wheat products as well was a way to remove all...

    I decided when my wife was diagnosed that the best way of doing things was for us both to go entirely gluten-free. That way, we minimise the risk of cross-contamination or fiid mix ups, and we don't end up with me eating things that she wants can can't have... I have toast cravings. I'm so tempted to walk to the nearest shop and get me a loaf of bread...

    If you use pure, natural yougurt there shouldn't be anything nasty in it. Its easy enough to add your own flavouring- Jam, crushed chocolate, honey... you'll find yourself eating things you'd never even have thought to try before long!

    I'm very sorry for your loss. I know how badly a sudden death can hit you. My grandmother moved on a few years back, and none of us were prepared- we hadn't seen it coming at all. Just take it one day at a time. I've lit a candle for your father.

    Sorry if these have been posted before, my Aunt Mel just sent them to me, and I think they're fabulous. Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? ...

    Send me your snow! I'll take it all! I love cold weather.

    Ohhh... dinner on legs. Makes my trigger finger itchy.... Sorry, did I say that? Those pictures are pretty cool. I've never seen so many together at once like that. You'd think they'd blend in better with the snow.

    My wife and I have often been told that everything wrong with us is our own fault- her celiac and skin problems, my diabeties and bad joints, communication issues, all the rest. I've never been one much for faith- I do pray, but usually on a hilltop or on the beach at dawn, or when its raining, places that make me feel the power that faith can have. There...

    My wife was always sickly, overweight and tired and always had bad skin, which looking back on it could well have been DH and other celiac symptoms, but she had glandular fever when she was 18 and things got drastically worse after that. We just assumed that the constant tiredness was from the glandular fever hanging on.... then she had a laporoscopy...

    Nah... ammount of milk cheese and butter we get though there would have been other signs. If eating half a block of cheese doesn't set her off, I'd be surprised if the egg did.
  21. Kyalesyin
    My wife was diagnosed with IBS, an underactive thyroid, clinical depression and had a totally uneccesary laparoscopy to examine the cause of her cramps, which 'could not possibly be a gut problem.' If you go gluten-free and feel better, don't look back.
  22. Kyalesyin
    Accidental cross-contamination somehow? We're wondering today if it could be that, since there is nothing else that could be that cause.
  23. Kyalesyin
    My wife gets pretty cranky and antisocial. She also gets very childlike, and has a habit of either losing her speech entirely [complete with sitting there snapping her fingers trying to find a word] or just stopping mid-sentence and asking 'what was I saying?' For that reason, she stays off work when she's been glutened.
  24. Kyalesyin
    Sorry- Brits and in people from Britan
  25. Kyalesyin
    Thatks! Thats been really helpful. She's back on her feet today, so it was nothing too severe. Guess we'll just have to be careful.
