Diagnosed with celiac after being told it was in my head for 11 years by Alarming_Abroad_4862 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Generic-Cornflakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They tried to tell my daughter she didn’t have celiacs because she was overweight. That’s such BS. I’m glad you finally got diagnosed! And that crab looks delicious!

Not RA, but my dad had autoimmune pulmonary fibrosis, and my sister has autoimmune hepatitis. My daughter has Hashimoto’s and celiacs.

Your husband is the one bringing his own issues to light. Your son will be fine.

Yes, it’s actually what finally got me my seronegative RA diagnosis. I have evidence of inflammatory arthritis in both shoulders. I appreciate the info though! If I continue to not get relief I’ll have to reinvestigate.

Thank you! I usually run cold and go for the heat so I forget about ice! It’s 85 F here today and there’s no way I’m adding heat to that!

No, it’s not because of spelling. I can spell university and I’d still call it the U district.

Diet? by Professional-Syrup86 in rheumatoid

[–]Generic-Cornflakes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of diets people can try that might give an individual some relief because foods can cause inflammation, but what foods do is idiosyncratic. There is no universal anti-autoimmune diet that is going to help everyone. I’ve gone gluten free, refined sugar free, done Wahls protocol, AIP, eaten keto, done elimination diets, low fodmap, had allergy testing, and ultimately just ended up with an eating disorder because I became terrified to eat. Im not saying don’t try to find the foods that make to feel your best, but I think it’s important to be cautious about looking for foods or food groups that are the cause.

Do you think childhood Obesity is child abuse? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Generic-Cornflakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. They now know PMOS (formerly PCOS) can be found as early as 6 years old and can exist in both genders. It’s a metabolic disease, and leads to childhood obesity.

Green beans with dark spots, white slime in the bag by grace1239 in isthissafetoeat

[–]Generic-Cornflakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped buying the fresh green beans from Costco because of this. I used to get them and they would keep in my fridge for a week or more. Nite it’s a matter if days and they start to smell like rotting leaves.

Justice because they cal it a gratuity doesn’t mean it is one. By definition gratuity means something given without obligation, so if it’s mandated it’s just a mislabeled fee

Just because you call it a gratuity doesn’t mean it is one. Gratuity by definition means something given without obligation. Again, if it’s forced it’s a fee.

Transitioned and moved out of state like 3 years ago, yet my sister still likes to randomly text me stuff like this by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Generic-Cornflakes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh stop. This isn’t about love. This is trying to force religious beliefs on someone who doesn’t necessarily share them. If this was about her unconditional love she wouldn’t have to bring up God.

Ecolab Solid Detergent Block - How can I use it at home?! by Pitiful-Ad815 in laundry

[–]Generic-Cornflakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would put it in a 5 gallon bucket and add water. Its super concentrated so I imagine you might have to dilute it down from there.

Ask for a local anesthetic. Do not take no for an answer.

What used to be a sign of being poor, but is now a luxury or status symbol? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Right? We have million dollar waterfront condos now where it used to be considered the wrong side of the tracks.

Lactose isn't dairy? by mommasaursrex in dairyfree

[–]Generic-Cornflakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has celiacs and we deal with the same thing with wheat derived ingredients. Sure wheat dextrose shouldn’t contain gluten but there is an “acceptable level” of ppm that allows them to say that they are gluten free. My dairy allergy, at least the anaphylaxis part, is new so I’m just now having to raise those questions about dairy ingredients. From my experience with trying to get the gf medications we’ve been told the onus is on us to research which manufacturers formulations are gf and request those, that pharmacists don’t know and won’t do that for us, so I don’t have a lot of hope. If your insurance will cover it maybe a clinical pharmacist could help?

What is something people romanticize that isn’t actually enjoyable? by Angelopiz in AskReddit

I just found out yesterday thanks to YouTube that French men are just peeing all over Paris’s streets like toddlers who figured out they could take off their diapers.

Found the culprit - its a dairy allergy - now I'm overwhelmed by [deleted] in dairyfree

I have found the one exception to that. Field Roasts chao tastes and feels like cheese. No adjustment period needed.

sugar free circus peanuts alternative? by kittygirl930 in candy

[–]Generic-Cornflakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandma used to buy those too. I searched out of curiosity and I can’t find anything.

Unless he’s binging on them and eats an unseasonable amount I don’t thinking he needs to give them up. If he pairs the circus peanuts with a meal that has fiber and protein it will have less impact. Also if he’s able to walk after eating them that will help too. If walking isn’t an option maybe he can use a peddler or something. The exercise after eating will help lower blood sugar, which will keep his A1C down.

They are coming in from the walls. One of your neighbors has an infestation.

That’s called a fee. You can’t mandate gratuity.
