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... -

gluten-free girl 67 replied to gluten-free girl 67's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED Deleting a post??
gluten-free girl 67 replied to gluten-free girl 67's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
Ok. Thanks everyone. I am just too sensitive about celiac. My sister understands how to be sure food is gluten free but she didnt want to take the time to do it and double check. Thats what upsets me. Good thing I am careful and responsible for what I eat. I have learned not to trust anyone else but myself. -

Ok. I will let it go. I am very sensitive and seeing so few responded with over 700 views bothers me. But there were other reasons as well. -
ARCHIVED A Christmas Story about GLUTEN
gluten-free girl 67 replied to gluten-free girl 67's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
How can I delete this post? Very few responses for 768 views. Plus other reasons I am upset about posting this. Thought I started a new topic but cant find it. -
I have some paranoia setting in. Is there anyway to delete a post? I posted about my Christmas story, and I have a few reasons why I want to delete that I won't get into. Is there any way to delete it? Or do I just need to deal with the fact I put a big private story on the internet??

Hi and welcome. So sorry to hear about your feelings. These days, going gluten free is really easy. Just try to eat mostly at home, you will feel so much better mentally and physically going gluten free! Trust me. I was diagnosed 6 years ago. Changing the way you eat can be hard, but remember how much better you will feel!!

ARCHIVED A Christmas Story about GLUTEN
gluten-free girl 67 replied to gluten-free girl 67's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ennis that's terrible. My family hasn't alienated me. But they really don't seem to care as much as I would like them to. From now on I will have to ask detailed questions about ingredients. I have an aunt who gets it. She cooks stuffing just for me on Thanksgiving. So it isnt all bad. I dont understand how people can be so weird about food. And IHOP puts... -
ARCHIVED A Christmas Story about GLUTEN
gluten-free girl 67 replied to gluten-free girl 67's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I just thought I could trust my own sister to check on the dish for me when he was making it. She apologized. So did he. I guess people just don't understand checking ingredients. Or they don't care. Just makes me sad. He is a great cook. -

gluten-free girl 67 replied to OzFam815's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Oz. So glad to hear you felt good after eating at Red Robin. Just keep in mind you have to be really careful when eating out, people don't understand Celiac disease the majority of the time. See my post about being glutened on Christmas. The best thing about finding out is now you will feel better. I feel best when I eat at home and cook my own food, it... -
ARCHIVED Mother recently diagnosed
gluten-free girl 67 replied to CasselsNonnie's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
This can be very hard with a person being diagnosed at this age. When I found out I had Celiac 6 years ago, I told my mom she should get tested. She refused, saying she couldn't LIVE without bread. I was shocked. My sister and my kids got tested and they are all negative. Sometimes people will just refuse to change eating habits. Maybe if she eats gluten... -
Yes, I have a lot of fillings. Bad tooth enamel. Not fun.

ARCHIVED A Christmas Story about GLUTEN
gluten-free girl 67 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am trying to let this go, but it's hard. I was diagnosed 6 years ago. Some of my family still doesn't get it, or they just don't care much. My brother in law was cooking a stuffed roast for Christmas. I asked my sister to please double check his ingredients. She said she would. He tells me it's gluten-free when he puts it out to eat. I take a slice and... -
ARCHIVED How quickly can you feel "glutened" \ all in the mind?
gluten-free girl 67 replied to egs1707's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think that would be too quick. I was diagnosed 6 yrs ago. The longer I am gluten free, the worse I react now. I have it timed at 2 hours after being accidentally glutened. I have had 3 episodes in the past 9 months where I started vomiting in 2 hours. Then diarrhea, body aches and misery. -

gluten-free girl 67 replied to gluten-free girl 67's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you Amber. I need to just bring my own food when eating out. I am drinking peppermint tea now to recover. I am just so tired of being the odd one. Thats how I feel anyway. Depressed. -
