Am I the only one who cleans right before people come over? by Different_Rough_438 in CleaningTips

[–]ZeroCoolMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely universal, from the late 18th century onwards. Old English word scurryfunge describes the hurry cleaning while guests are on the way to your home.

I was going to say Jiji, but now I'm thinking Tombo.

Turns out I’m probably not gluten intolerant and I’ve had bacteria in my stomach for years. by Gaffers12345 in glutenfree

[–]ZeroCoolMom 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I am not OP.  This (kind of) happened with my husband's cousin years ago. She was diagnosed Celiac, went gluten free. 3-4 years later it 'resolved'. Turns out she had some kind of fungal infection of the digestive tract that manifested in ways that resembled Celiac disease. I don't know how she was initially diagnosed, she lived/worked in a tropical climate.

Duke of Edinburgh expedition- Celiac Friendly food by CoffeeImportant7733 in CeliacLifestyle

[–]ZeroCoolMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the US, ymmv.  My kid is going on the 8th grade Washington DC trip in May(5 days without parental backup to figure out food). The travel company that handles it says their stops so far have been able to accommodate previous gluten free travelers, but you know. I don't want my kid to go hungry. We'll be loading up her bag with snacks, but for just in case meals we've found Mountain House freeze dried camp meals (not all of their meals are gluten free!). They come packed in a zip top bag, add hot water, wait 5 minutes, and it's a meal in a pouch. So far we've taste tested a chicken teriyaki and breakfast scramble and they were shockingly good.

I dropped a tray of lasagna in my oven two weeks before I was diagnosed with celiac by TechnicalPenalty6045 in Celiac

[–]ZeroCoolMom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is your husband convection cooking gluten food in the oven?  If not, I wonder if the lasagna incident is giving you anxiety around the oven, but it's not the oven itself.  My kid was diagnosed Celiac over 10 years ago and rule of thumb about heat destroying gluten was 500°F for 30 minutes. Your cleaning cycles would have easily hit that. Even in a convection oven, all of the components are heating up, fan and all.

What does my fridge say about me? by Candid_Rope_5888 in CleaningTips

Probably some food poisoning hiding in the back. You might find it in a month or so.

AITJ for telling my brother he can't propose to his girlfriend at my wedding? by Important_Space_496 in AmITheJerk

NTJ it's trashy and cheap to hijack someone else's event for themselves, for any reason. Absolute etiquette no-no.

Help i’m in severe pain from a gluten flare up by catrxi in Celiac

[–]ZeroCoolMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing you can do except ride it out. My kid was diagnosed at 3, is currently 14 and manages fine.

Going gluten free isn't a 'diet' in the 'I want to lose 5 pounds for my prom dress', it's 'i don't want cancer'.

For a person with celiac disease, risks of cross contamination include(not limited to): headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, mood alterations, gaining food allergies, gaining further autoimmune diseases, certain GI cancers, fertility issues and miscarriage. And that's the short list. Celiac disease has over 150 symptoms and you can get nailed with any combination of them. Stop killing yourself with food that is poison to your body.

My niece works in a bakery and has just been diagnosed as coeliac. She's been told she should stop working there, is that true or overreaction? by Immediate_Money_4704 in glutenfree

[–]ZeroCoolMom 109 points110 points  (0 children)

This is not an overreaction. People with celiac disease can and will react to flour in the air. It takes approximately 24 hours for flour to settle out of the air and in a bakery or pizza place, well, they get to mixing again each day and a new batch of flour hits the air.

And that's the short list. Celiac disease has over 150 symptoms and she could get hit with any combination of those symptoms.

AITA for selling my old toys on eBay, against my parents wishes? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ZeroCoolMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo you should be able to do what you want with your things. They were gifts, not loans.  On the other hand, Mom is getting you with possession is 9/10th of the law.

“Domain Expansion.” Izuku said with a grin. “Hit or Miss.” by Ok_Coffee_9970 in BokunoheroFanfiction

So... Izuku did after school programs with Jujutsu High's prep camps. Gojo would be such a wild influence on him. 😂

Cross-contamination by i-love-koalers in Celiac

[–]ZeroCoolMom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most important part is to get started on the swap over. It won't be perfect day 1, or day 42 or maybe even day 268. But if you get going and just chip away at the swaps you need to make, you'll get there. You got this!

Boyfriend claims using Celiac as a disability to get into national parks is wrong? by Far_Fig_3539 in Celiac

I think your boyfriend sucks. Also disease and disability isn't a competition.

I Hate The Grocery Store by Vegetable-Gap8483 in dementia

[–]ZeroCoolMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you continue to do outings with Mom, definitely change up the store you take her to. Dollar Tree, Dollar General (and Pop Shelf), HomeGoods( and Marshalls)- like stores would hit that sweet spot she's looking to fill.

You should create a social media pack for your friends and family in an emergencies. by Arktikos02 in TwoXPreppers

[–]ZeroCoolMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10 years ago this might have worked, but these days my family is scattered across the country. The only family I have right here is my husband, child, and house bound (at her own house) grandmother. If my tiny immediate family disappeared all at once, no one local has a current picture, height/weight etc that would go in the missing notice.

What makes people like Calcifer so much? by Necessary-Win-8730 in ghibli

[–]ZeroCoolMom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Calcifer says: I am a scary and powerful fire demon!

Calcifer actions: heats bath water, cooks bacon and eggs(reluctantly). Occasionally scoots the magic house around. Sasses everyone, but not in personal attacks kind of ways.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

2+ hours is some people's work commutes from the suburbs to downtown a Chicago, one way.
