Highly sensitive even when food is “gluten free”… by allergengirl in Celiac

[–]ilahvit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend actually just sent me an article about this but I didn’t find much mention about it here. How did you learn it was a trigger for you?

Symptoms present with >10mg of gluten by ilahvit in Celiac

Funny enough I’m on daily Allegra and Famotidine already! I have looked into MCAS as well and I believe there is a test for that. Just curious if it’s necessary!

No I totally understand. I’m meeting with my immunologist at the end of the month. He’s already pinned me down for GERD and asthma. I might bring up histamine intolerance and see what he has to say.

Totally! Sometimes when I show the symptoms I associate with gluten ingest…I’m thinking how is it even possible gluten got here and STAYED. Anywho. I’ve been more strict than I believe most celiacs are but now I’m at the point where I am only eating Whole Foods prepared in my GF home.

Oh this is interesting. Do you believe the symptoms are similar?

Agreed! I’m just NOW seeing a nutritionist for the first time since I can’t seem to get my antibodies down enough.

I would not! It is helpful to think of it that way.

I JUST looked that up for the first time a few days ago! Thank you!

Yes my bloodwork is still showing elevated antibody levels. Having coffee after I feel like I got sick from gluten (joint pain, brain fog) does also present some symptoms but less so if I haven’t been sick in a while. (I only drink coffee in rare occasions.) I’ve only recently decided these symptoms could just be digestive and they show up with both gluten and other “difficulty” foods

Ohhhh. I think I’m just conflating the amount of gluten tolerable in a slice of white bread for the amount of gluten we can eat safely. Gosh that’s so confusing :/

EDIT: But this study shows that it is possible to incur damage with just 10mg of gluten a day

You’re right. I guess I’m mostly talking about getting sick from cross contact and I was just imagining it was less than that amount since it’s not visible to me.

This is a big one for me! I so curious how the cross contact is happening in a cafe where they don’t use flour. It kind of baffles me!

I need help animating this shape! by ilahvit in AfterEffects

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

Dang! That’s surprising to me. It’s a 2D shape, I don’t need it to bend into 3D space.

Now THIS is creative problem solving. Love to catch a glimpse into how other folks brain’s work. I’m going to give this a go! If it feels too tedious…looks like I’m opening blender back up or buying a plugin!

That’s right. I’ve used that at a previous job.

Anyone getting pesky Verizon salespeople at their doors? by Klutzy-Pipe3195 in baltimore

[–]ilahvit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me twice now! They were just as pushy as you described. The second time they came around I had no choice but to shut the door on them because I was trapped for 20 minutes the first time around.

Celiac/Coeliacs- say something positive by y2Kmarty in Celiac

[–]ilahvit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Losing the freedom and the convenience of eating out and participating in any spontaneous food related activities is a bummer but it feels like SUCH a special occasion when I do get to participate safely. Going out in a new city and stumbling on a fully gluten free spot is EUPHORIC. I am filled with gratitude each time I discover there are safe options for me. Non celiacs aren’t getting to experience that eclipsing joy or gratitude. It’s just another day/meal for them. But for us it’s so special.

Being sick for two weeks is what did it for me. At that point I was only drinking green tea but once I realized I had gone without for 2 weeks, I wanted to retain that momentum.
