    ARCHIVED So Pissed

    Googles posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am so pissed off. So I am at my brother's house for Christmas. I brought a little food and a two pots and a griddle to be able to cook while I'm here and a wooden spoon and a spatula. They know I'm gluten free because of celiac. They didn't ask me anything about what I needed, and the last time I visited them (2 years ago- for 3 days their wedding) I...

    Hi. I'm visiting famiy in the Urbana/Champaign IL area and I am sure people will want to eat out at least once. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for the area. Thanks.

    Thank you both for your advice. i'm nervous about being gone from home for so long.

    So this is the first year that i am going to be traveling significantly for the holidays. This will be my longest travel yet, before this only overnight and one three day trip for school. I am going to my brother's house for about 5 days. I am going to be doing my own cooking while i am there. I am driving by car so pretty much whatever I want to take with...

    I have these dreams, but they end up more being nightmares with me trying toget the food I've eaten out of my mouth. Then I wake up and have to figure out if I really ate something I shouldn't have. I've been gluten free for 4 years, and the dreams happen about every six months or so.

    I registered with my universitie's students with dissabilities office for protection. My department was insane and I actually had a professor ask me if I should be in our area of study given that I was asking how to bring up my Celiac with my internship. It helped because I had someone to talk to about my trials around dealing with my professors incase anything...

    I had something like this. It drove me nuts. I could never figure it out and what caused it. Finally after a month or two it just stopped. I was never able to figure out what caused it or made it go away. Good luck.

    I had a really good experience at the pharmacy today. Before I was using the school pharmacy and they were great. They checked everything for me. Then I went to one pharmacy after I graduated and they didn't seem to understand my questions about gluten. I have had problems with other pharmacies before. But today was awesome. I was picking up a prescription...

    It took 3 years for my GERD to go away completely. I had to avoid all acidic foods during that time as they would set it off. I still get it sometimes when i get gutened. But mostly I can eat what I want that is acidic, though if I get glutened best to stay away from the acidic stuff. So it can take a lot of time, but worth it to feel better.

    Thank you everyone for your replies. Sorry for takinig so long to get back to your responses. I am working way too much right now and am just exhausted when i get home. I hate the idea of having to give up dairy, but I think I am goinig to have to get up the motivation to try it, but after I eat the cheese and drink the milk in my fridge. Ugh, I hate food...

    So I think i might have a problem with dairy that has developed. But I'm not sure if it is just getting glutened or dairy. If I am lactose intollerant am i susceptible to the same problems that I get with gluten? IE: Bone and joint pain, insomnia, emotioin dysregulatiion with dairy problems that I have with being glutened or would it only be digestive problems...

    Thanks so much. This is a totally new symptom for me. I DO NOT like it. My problem is that if I don't work i don't get paid and i can't afford not to get paid.. So I usually have to deal with meds unless it is a weekend. I did not even know this was possible. I'm sorry that you get it too, but nice to know I wasn't just going totally crazy and it wasn't my...

    I think that I got glutened, or something else got me. I'm having back and forth diarrhea and constipation. The diarrhea is just like muscle spasms not full fledged runny stuff. What do I do? I had two bouts of diarrhea with constipation in between them earlier this week. I had to take imodium for the diarrhea earlier this week because I was 45 minutes from...

    ARCHIVED Jail/prison

    Googles replied to maximoo's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I asked my uncle this question. He worked for a number of years at a prison. He said that they were required to provide gluten free meals for inmates with celiac because of the ADA. If not they could be sued. So they were very careful to attend to dietary needs because of medical disorders. It might vary by state or jurisdiction. I worked with juvinile offenders...

    They know I have celiac and can't eat anything at the party that I don't bring. And it is a required party. It is scheduled durng our staff meeting. I guess I just get pissed about having to provide food for other people who can eat whatever they want when I have to think about every piece of food that goes into my mouth. I'm fne with going and brining my...

    So when I was a kid it was my understanding (and still is) that potlucks work/are fair because people all bring food and then are able to eat what others provide. There are some situations where people may be vegetarian so they wont eat a specific dish. However, overall, everyone brings and everyone partakes. However, with celiac, I don't feel comfrotable...

    ARCHIVED Aroma!

    Googles replied to Coryad's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I make people describe to me what they are eating when they are eating something that would be yummy before I went gluten free. Then I get all specific with questions. I feel I am just helping them be more mindful of their eating. When I first went gluten free I would have cravings for gluten filled goodies when I got glutened. It made going by the bakery...

    Thanks everyone. the ones I found (the only ones I've seen in my area-I will have to look more) were rice based. I didn't even think that there might be corn soft ones as the only corn ones I've seen was hard tacos. Thanks everyone.
  20. Googles
    I was wondering if anyone has found good gluten free taco shells. I found one brand (can't remmeber what it is) but the taco shells are all stiff and break up when you try to heat them up. Has anyone found good ones? I really want to be able to haver caseadillas again. thanks.

    I find my problem is that I tend to have a problem of being on an emotional rollar coaster when I get glutened. It makes it harder for me to deal with things like the physical reaction to getting glutened. When I get glutened I can end up crying at the drop of a hat. It actually hits before the digestsive problems do. It is learning how to deal with the stress...

    Thanks, I hadn't even go to the point of when I need to drink. Hopefully since I will only be there a couple hours tomorrow it wont be a problem. I hope they can keep me out of the office til they are done.

    This wont help with the clarity of diagnosis, but Crohn's can happen anywhere along the digestive system not only in the large intestine. Just a FYI. My brother has it and they tested me for it to make sure I didn't have it when I got diagnosed.

    Thank you both for those suggestions. I was wondering about the face mask idea. They said that the construction is going to last another week. Hopefully I can spend most of the time at the other location. My boss already knows about my issues, so it wasn't a big deal for her today.
  25. Googles
    I just started a new job (YAY!) The thing is that they are expanding into a new unit at my home base work location which means construction is happening as they tear down walls and put up new ones. I feel lucky that I have worked with my supervisor before (at a different place) so she already knows about my celiac and is willing to work around it. I'm wondering...
