    I don't know about your cat's food, but I could see it being a problem if it has gluten. The transmission would be: cat eats food, (containing gluten), cat cleans himself with his tongue (or licks you), you pet cat, you eat food. So it isn't just about getting the food on you when you put the food out. I would also suggest another elimination diet as it could...

    Thanks everyone for letting me vent. I do take my own food. When I was there for the interview it ended up lasting four hours. They ended up taking me to lunch, but luckily they let me decide if I wanted to eat. As there would have been no comfortable way to explain why I couldn't eat their mass produced food. I know the kitchen staff went to the dietician...

    I am annoyed by people who think they know more than I do about MY celiac disease than I do. I work at a place (residential facility) where I have to eat with the youth I work with. The kitchen people tried to convince me that they could provide me with gluten free food seeing as we had a youth who is gluten free. Apparently he went from gluten light to gluten...

    Thanks everyone for your advice. This is really helpful. I hope things will get a little better once I'm used to things at work. But I know some days wont be calm.

    Hi Everyone. I have started a new job with very long hours and no breaks(literally)-my state does not have a state law that requires breaks for employees. I need to find a protein powder that I can add to drinks, (preferably water, but don't know if these exist) that is relatively inexpensive and tastes good. Does anyone know of one. I would search myself...

    I had this discussion with someone at my new work today. They once again asked why I wasn't eating the lunch provided. I said it was because of food allergies. He asked what foods. I listed them. One co-worker put it together and said "gluten?" I said yes. He had been an EMT so that might have been his background. The other individual asked me if I only couldn...

    ARCHIVED Need Advice

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

    Hi everyone. Thanks for your advice. On my second day of training I ended up getting sick and getting sent home early. Luckily not missing any required training. So I had a brief discussion with my boss as he was the one who sent me home. I think I will need to clarify tomorrow as I was somewhat out of it. I think I got through: autoimmune disease, GI...

    ARCHIVED Need Advice

    Googles posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    So I had my first day of training today. When I interviewed they had me sit in on a lunch because (I assumed) they wanted to meet the clients I would be working with (a residential program) and that was what they were doing when I interviewed. Well today, training started at noon and the first thing they had us do was go to lunch. When they were talking about...

    I'm glad to hear that camp went so well!

    And even when they have a dedicated fryer as advertised by fries on their gluten free menu. You should still check and make sure. I went to one restaurant (can't remember which right now) and I found that when they get busy they start putting everything in all the friers so after that the french fries are no longer gluten free. I was glad I asked and had...

    I haven't heard yet. But I am waiting to hear: "I got that gluten free pizza from Domino's for you so you can eat with us." My dad is trying to convince me that my new work which makes food for a residential program will be able to feed me gluten free without making me sick. After I let him know that my boss stated that one of the benefits of working...

    ARCHIVED Opinions?

    Googles posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    A friend of mine posted the link to this on their facebook page. I went to read the article and it didn't seem to make sense that because this wheat is really old, it would be able to be eaten by people with celiac disease. However, since you are the smart people who know more about all this than I do. I figured I would post this here and get an educated...

    This is exactly what my Dr. said when I was diagnosed. And it was over the phone no less. Then she was like, we'll send you to a nutritionist. Who was only able to give me list of foods (an outdated list) and said there was nothing else she could do for me. I left that appointment and cried before I had to go back to work. (When there really wasn't a break...

    Thanks both of you. I found out that Advil is okay. I think part of the benefit too was him seeing how hard it can be to find out this information as we checked another med first and couldn't find anything on their website about it one way or the other (can't remember which one).

    My dad was so wonderful today. I played kickball last week, tripped on a base, and felt a little sore afterwards and by Monday was fine. Then went again today and my legs were in severe pain feeling like my muscles were tearing and I needed NSAIDS to deal with the swelling. So I had to stop by the drug store on my way home as I didn't think I would be able...

    Are you drinking lots of fluids (water and other clear liquids)? Are you eating lots of foods with fiber? Removing other foods that you might be reacting to and going to very basic foods might help too. I hope you get this figured out.

    I am going to be looking for a new pharmacy. I have graduated from school so I wont keep using my school pharmacy (which has be so awesome) when I move. I have heard horror stories on here from people having trouble with pharmacies that aren't helpful or are down right disrespectful. How have people found good pharmacies that they trust? I don't have internet...

    I can't stand swallowing pills if I don't have to, so I take chewables (I didn't even know they made chewable vitamins for adults before I found these). I take vitafusion vitamins, they have multivitamins and specific vitamins by themselves. You can buy them on line. The only ones that I have found that taste bad are the fish oil. But for some reason I...

    I agree with the previous poster. You don't want to depend on the the camp to be able to keep his food gluten free if he is eating what they are serving. Having been a camp counselor (before diagnosis), there are so many ways that things can go wrong. I would suggest that you send all food for meals and snacks (we had the opportunity for children to buy snacks...

    I hadn't thought of another intolerance. However, it does seem to have the same gluten symptoms, but sometimes one or so different and in different orders. For example last Fridady I was really really depressed, but I didn't have GI issues (and they were very mild) until Monday. That left me thinking I was entering a really bad depressive episode really quickly...

    I am sorry you are having such a hard time. I went through this when I was first diagnosed. I was so angry and felt like my body betrayed me. It does take time to adjust. Realize that in getting this diagnosis you go through a period of grief. Anger is one of the parts of grief. You will find foods that you enjoy cooking and like. I thought I would never...

    That is good to know. The last time I checked the minis included gluten. Another peanut butter treat I can eat.
  23. Googles
    The mini Reeses peanut butter cups contain gluten. So watch out for those (the regular size does not). My new favorite ice cream is moose tracks.

    I have two questions in relation to reactions. 1) It seems like my reaction to gluten is changing every time I get glutened. This makes it very hard to figure out when I am glutened until I get enough different symptoms to put 2 and 2 together. The reaction time also seems to vary. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. I have not knowingly eaten...

    Gluten is not alive so using a Clorox wipe versus a towel wouldn't change the cleaning in the sense of killing bacteria/viruses. However, if the towel may not have picked up all the gluten depending on how well your sister cleaned. It may be that because you are the one with the Celiac, you are more careful about cleaning than she is to make sure you get...
