Awww. Thanks! We are going to see a movie and the popcorn has been safe to eat! ?

Ennos thank you for your insightful replies. I always stop and think after reading your posts. You have an interesting perspective.

i am sorry you feel so bad Moggy. I totally agree with you. I was just wanting to feel included at Easter. I don't feel comfortable bringing my own food or not eating at all. It's called social anxiety. I have chosen to therefore stay at home and do something fun with my daughter instead.

I am just tired of people being so judgmental in general about what people eat. I bet there are Celiac's here who have brought their own food to a gathering and people look at them cross eyed or think they're rude for not eating their food. I just wanted to feel included....so sorry you think I am such a BAD, RUDE person Squirmy!

Squirming itch: wow, your reply was rude in my opinion. I should have explained that this post is mainly about my anxiety and social isolation regarding eating at other people's homes for holidays. I get the message: bring my own food or don't go, or eat before I go. That also gives me anxiety. Am I the only one here with social anxiety regarding being Celiac...

My mom and sister both got tested for Celiac and the don't have it. I had my kids tested too. I'm just the lucky one.

She has a good relationship with her MIL. I guess I would trust plain steamed rice and steamed veggies, but perhaps I shouldn't. Eating at family gatherings has become very difficult for me. I give up. My sister is recovering from breast cancer and she is saying things like "at least celiac isn't deadly." I think she is feeling sorry for herself. I have tried...

I tried to point out to my sister i care enough about her that if she had celiac i would have no problem asking the host for a few foods she could eat. Having celiac and making food requests is like taboo in my family. This is how i feel anyway. I would also rather feel included instead of sitting there eating my own food or eating beforehand. The whole thing...

Thanks. My sister and I just got into a big fight because it makes me upset that she cant ask about getting food I can eat. I am not going. Our fight was deeper than this though. According to her all I talk about is celiac. Not true. Its an exaggeration. I am tired of feeling like I am a burden about requesting to know what’s in the food they make at holidays e...

Honestly my family has never really been supportive of my celiac. I am tired of having this disease. It is mentally ruining me. I work as an advice nurse listening to people’s medical issues for 8 hrs a day and i feel like nobody wants to hear about my dosease and how it affects me.

I am having an emotional breakdown. I was diagnosed in 2010. Long story short. Today I was invited to my sister’s mother in law’s house for Easter. She told me they are having take out chinese food. I know everything will probably have soy sauce on it thats isnt gluten-free. So I asked my sister if she would mind asking her mother in law if she would min...
