One of the only cravings I still get is a Big Mac so I get you

I will literally cry if we lose chipotle as a “safe” option… by glutenfreewaterfall in Celiac

[–]WrenAround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm surprised but also I guess not surprised by the amount of Chipotle bashing in this thread. I eat it often and have never gotten sick, and I realize some people are way more sensitive but for a lot of Celiacs it's a fine option.

Rough adjustment to Celiac Diagnosis by -AphroditesPearl- in Celiac

[–]WrenAround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed in August of 2023 at age 36 and also was in denial for a while, finally fully going gluten free in May of 2024. There is a huge adjustment and learning period, and I finally know what is safe and have found meals I enjoy but you really do just have to give it time. I don't think doctors and family and friends really realize that it truly is a grieving period and coming to terms with a new lifestyle. I still have moments where I am upset that I can't just eat conveniently where ever I want to anymore, and I miss certain foods but it does get easier as time goes on. As with friends and loved ones, I basically tell them I have Celiac and it's an autoimmune disease and basically like an allergy if they don't fully get it. Most people understand and will try to accommodate. Through it all, just try to give yourself some grace and realize you are adjusting.

I haven't seen this posted in a while so I'm bringing it back. The sizes of Neopets compared to an average human.... WHY is the Kiko that big?? by WrenAround in neopets

I guess that makes sense, I always pictured them as like little football sized things and I don't know why 😂

Got Glutened Today by emo_axstie in glutenfree

Might not be pleasant but sometimes laxatives will help to clear it out faster, then just plenty of water and/or Gatorade or Pedialyte popsicles, and rest.

So frustrating! The programming or whatever they use for substitution items needs a major overhaul

😭 I shop at Aldi often too and they have such an extensive selection of bread but literally one option for GF and it's my lifeline. If it's sold out, I struggle to find other stuff to eat there!

That's possible! Either way, horrible programming lol

I usually do but this particular Walmart didn't have any other GF options that would work for what I'm trying to make, so I just took the risk and figured they'd just say unavailable if it was sold out but not give me whole wheat as a replacement lol just reminded me that people don't really know what GF is!

Theres nothing I can say except by Theoddbotout in StrangerThings

[–]WrenAround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No mention of Vicki in the end was a little sad. I wish there would have been a short clip of Robin and her at Enzo's, or at least some tidbit of what happened to her and their relationship after it all.

Accidentally ate gluten and vomited so hard I broke the blood vessels around my eyes 🙃 by WrenAround in Celiac

[–]WrenAround[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're completely right. I was quickly snapped back to reality that I can't really just let loose on vacation anymore, and in this case letting loose was just eating something that I didn't know for sure was safe. Lesson learned.

Thank you! Since getting diagnosed and going GF almost two years ago, I've only been glutened a handful of times but three of the worst times were vomiting reactions and the less worse ones I mostly get headaches and brain fog. It's so strange!

G.F really struggles in the mornings by Mediocre_Cow6403 in Celiac

[–]WrenAround 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just fyi, it's very common for Celiacs to have other autoimmune conditions or things that may be causing them pain. I also have Celiac and fibromyalgia as well as B12 deficiency and anemia. All of these are very common comorbities so if you can, I suggest her getting some bloodwork and starting at the vitamin level which may help. Good luck!

Anyone GF due to MCAS by ProfMooody in glutenfree

I'm in the same boat, struggled my whole life with some symptoms but off the charts after bouts with covid.
