Has Anyone Else Went Into Debt With Celiac?

Before I realized I had Celiac I was living on my own, started getting sick to the point of going to the ER and missed a lot of work. I went into debt and now I'm paying it off. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Now I'm paying back credit cards and still paying medical bills. It would be nice to know I'm not the only one!

I never really had too many credit card problems but I've been through lay-offs, firings, evictions, sued by a landlord for past rent, lived at times with no medical insurance, no gas, etc. My dental bills alone could have put several of the dentists' children through medical school.

Just hang in there, you'll be OK - at least they don't have debtors' prison, for the time being.

Financial poverty seems to be one of the many "blessing" of Celiac... now a crappy economy/World agenda!! I've been unable to work steady for yrs, which doesn't help getting a job now that my health is somewhat better. But I have avoided debt, living as a "hillbilly" sure has helped!! One thing that would be really nice is; if employers would take into account Celiac and other health conditions, but we know how that goes. Anyone know of any orgs that help people find work, people with these health problems??

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
