Now I have 3 major things that are dangerous to me, Gluten, Corn, and Whey from dairy. I can deal with being around my other issues but these I can not.
Now keeping gluten out was pretty much eliminated awhile back after the burrito incident. IE I cater lunch every day and provide snacks to everyone.
BUT the sorry SOB keeps sneaking in corn syrup sodas or milk. I stopped going over there and helping my dad at his shop for fear of these. BUT I snapped yesterday and confronted him. I told him I would buy him cane sugar cokes and for him to stop risking my life bringing that s$#& in there and if he does it again I will have him sent home without pay. He flipped and started making excuses about drinking it for months and me not getting sick.....yeah I do not come over here. I told him the skin contact issue is just a rash, no big deal. BUT IF he opens one of those and it "sprits" and aerosols that corn syrup next to me and I inhale it then I get anaphylaxis. Then he starts up again, I shut him up by asking if he will pay the $1200-1500 for the ambulance ride when my throat swells up....then I go on to every detail of how you start getting the urge to swallow but can't then you have issues taking breath as it feels like your tongue is swelling up and going down your own throat. Your ability to take breath diminishes and gets harder. He then started offering to not drink anymore in the building and for me not to bother...I told him straight that was BS and he would give in and go drink them since he was addicted and he said yes.....so I bought him 2 cases for cane sugar soda and put in the fridge for him.....TIME will tell. 
Dear god between idiots like him and just finishing watching 12 seasons of SVU I am seriously losing hope in humanity. Don't even get me started on the inability to get people to donate to starting my food truck or helping when I was in need of medical services.

Can I assume that you keep an Epipen handy? Also, try to take it more easy on people who don't understand...especially if it's your dad. Acceptance of these issues is often a problem, even among close family members. This article we published in 2005 may be old, but still relevant:

Generic one I got for free, never had to use one.....all 4 reactions I have had before getting it I got through with liquid antihistamines and chewing pills. An odd method that requires a sound mind and control but doing so and letting it slowly work down my throat has opened it back up.  But I always keep shot bottles of liquid antihistamines and a pocket carrier with pills.  What really sucks is even after my throat feels weird, like hours of numb and pain and stays restricted.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.

      Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure out how to each message individually. I saw one with some information on sebaceous hyperplasia but now I can't find it. I appreciate you all so much for all your responses and advice! God bless! Hi everyone, I'm still trying to figure out how to each message individually.
