Had An Interesting Morning...donuts In My Math Class

So one of the guys in my class works at a bakery and brought in several boxes of pastries...everyone was saying how good they were...and I said I couldn't eat them. Then everyone wanted to know why. I said I was gluten intolerant, then had to explain. I said, basically whenever I eat any gluten, it inflames my small intestines, then causes them to stop working, and I get really sick for days. Simple explanation, but a couple of people said, "Whoa, I wouldn't even WANT to touch anything w/ gluten if I were you!" and it made me think of all the people who just don't understand how severe this disorder really is. Obviously most of us know this, I just thought if anyone was looking for a better way to get the point across, this could do it :)

Anyway, just thought I'd share! Have a good day everyone!!

Sounds great, Sweetfudge--short and to the point :D

Reminds me of Tuesday when I went to vote. I don't know if it was just me being super sensitive about it, but I swear that everyone in the room was eating some sort of baked good! There were cookies and pastries on every table. The man who asked me to sign the register was eating a donut, and I cringed as I took the pen from off the table. (I didn't have one in my purse).

I made a mental note to keep my hands away from my face until I got home and was able to wash them :P

That is great sweetfudge, good explaining. I usually just go "I will get violently ill" that is enough for anyone.. no more questions have ever been asked.

When I am at a family party and cakes and cookies are there.. or any party for that matter... I just say.. you evil evil gluten eaters! I am not bothered by the glutenous food at all.. I just like to pick on them for eating all that gluten.. I usually get a good laugh from them at that!

Lol! I like to tease my husband about being a glutenivore :) Or if he wants toast, I'll tell him to get his own gluten!

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Welcome Connie Smitj,  Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful?  It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner.  When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      By Connie Smitj · Posted

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I  had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?

      Help Understanding Test Results

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, am I missing something? For the TTG-IGA normal is anything 3 or less and his score less than 2. I think that one is in normal range. @Brown42186, if the GI doc is not interested in doing an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining based on the elevated TTG-IGG I would request a repeat on the bloodwork now that you have resumed gluten consumption again.

      Interesting for sure. Have you heard of potential cross reactivity to casein (dairy), corn, milket, iats, rice, and yeast?
