Don't Give Up---investigate!

I found out that there is actually something I can eat that comes from my HS' Cafeteria. I learned this from a friend that is allergic to numerous things. She got a list of what the school offers and what she could. She got to looking and we figured out that I could actually have the taco salad at school!

I just wanted to let everyone know that you shouldn't give up so easily when it comes finding food you can eat. I went a whole year at HS without knowing that there was something I actually could eat. Investigating pays off!

I know what ya mean. Sometimes, people can get annoyed because you just want to make sure that it is truely safe by asking many questions. I really don't like to investigate either, mainly because how ignorant people are about Celiac Disease, gluten, and so forth.

In the long run, it pays off. It can get ya experience in what to ask and look for when searching for gluten-free food.

If you're interesting in french fries, make sure to ask if they're fried in oil by themselves. Just thought I'd say that :) Good luck, let me know if you find anything.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
