r/Celiac

That’s what my mother in law said after I finished my first helping of homemade soup she brought over. I told her yes it does… why. She replied that she was happy she had pulled out the barley then as she wasn’t sure. That was 14 hours ago… I am so sick and on the bathroom floor. I hope you all have a better day than I am having. Looking forward to resending her all the the things that have gluten and going back to not eating anything she makes

This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving and we’re going to my partner’s moms for dinner but I said I’d bring something for myself to eat since I won’t be eating there. I told him I can’t risk something being prepped on a same cutting board or with the same utensils or one of the kids using a spoon for a gluten-containing dish in something that’s gluten free, thus contaminating it. It’s not for his mom’s lack of concern or ignorance, but rather a culture and language barrier (she still tries to offer me pastries and bread several years in, lol). But he looked genuinely shocked when I told him I’d bring my own food and I don’t want to come across as rude or insulting to his mom (usually I’ve avoided this by going to my parents alone for dinner then swinging by after dinner, but this year they’re doing it on different days). It’s just with a lot of people there that don’t have to think about this, including kids, I can’t trust that there won’t be cross contamination.

So I’m a little blown away. I was diagnosed in May with marsh grade 3 celiac. Little to no gi symptoms just anemic and frequent BMs but nothing terrible. I’ve stayed away from gluten since my endoscopy and thanks to you guys after looking into it, generic adderall xr has gluten in it! Just switched to vyvanse and hopefully I’ll feel better. I’d been having bizarre left sided rib pain and maybe this is why.

Hi friends,

Any good recs in Calgary, AB? I looked at past posts and saw Glitch Gaming Lounge. Any other recs? Maybe closer to the downtown area?

Thanks so much!

What are some essential things to buy/replace?

What are some things you wish you knew when you first transitioned your kitchen and lifestyle?

Any tips for cleaning/organizing/buying things are greatly appreciated! I know this will be hard for him and I want to do what I can to make it safe.

I do the cooking and work full time with a baby coming shortly, so any tips for easy recipes/lunches/dinners/quick on-the-go breakfasts for him that he can take for an early work shift would be much appreciated, too! I know staples like meat, vegetables, quinoa, rice, potatoes are safe given you don't add unsafe condiments or spices, but my husband is a big foodie and I'd love some ideas for variation/for easy breakfasts and lunches he can have that don't require a ton of prep. He also typically takes dinner leftovers for lunch at work, but this might need to change because I don't know how creative I can get/how much time I will have to be creative to mix up what we have for dinner every night so he isn't having the same food for lunch and dinner every day. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and my heart breaks that he has to give up his favorite foods, so truly, I will take any advice, tips, or resources to look at. Thank you so, so much 💓

Just found a noodle in my plain white rice and steamed chicken…. With 2 bites left. I’ve never had an issue doing this from my local place and now I am so anxious about what’s to come. I even bought enough for leftovers 😫 I just needed to come commiserate with people who understand. Wish me luck, everybody.

Does anyone experience this after eating gluten? Every time I get expose to anything containing gluten, my face looks so puffy as if I slept for 24 hours straight. It’s so strange because my blood panels are celiac negative. Just want to know if other people deal with this.

Hi, I found a recipe I want to try online but it needs a can of Salsa Verde. Can you tell me what you use or know to be safe? I am currently unable to make my own Salsa Verde and need suggestions, please!
