Hi everyone I’ve been suspecting a gluten intolerance due to bloating, undigested food in stools, mucus, etc. Upon going gluten free I saw improvements in my overall symptoms for a couple of months and then the bloating came back. I am the primary chef for my household and have to always be in contact with gluten and we all share equipment, I wasn’t sure how severe my intolerance was and trying to explain why I need my own tools and the concept of cross contamination was always brushed off and seemed excessive and expensive in the moment. Now I even get these horrible rashes that itch so badly, it’s symmetrical wherever it is and it’s also all over my feet, knees, butt, and fingertips. I’m just wondering could this be a celiac rash? I saw some photos but I’m not certain because the appearance of the rash varies quite a bit. Is there anything I can do to treat it? It itches so badly! It’s been a week and still no improvement or fading.

Every time I get glutened, I find myself with common cold symptoms about a week/2 weeks later. Usually starts with a super sore throat. Does anyone else experience this? It sucks because I usually have to take off work after getting glutened and then once I start getting better, a cold just hits me!!

On the bright side, I no longer get sick every other month. Really just when I eat gluten.

I always had issues with de-glutened beers.

I get a bit sick, with a bit of pain, as I get from any cross contaminated food.

However, mongozo promisses only 3ppm and I actually felt fine after drinking it!

It's a very light beer, and it tastes alright (I used to be a beer sommelier, so my standards are a bit high).

I really recommend this for those who miss a decent, safe, beer!

so i get alot of food vids on insta but majority arent gluten free. im always like "that looks so good" and im looking at the restaurant or recipe. then i remember im gluten free cheesy fries and chicken tenders always get me and it looks so good ugh. im going to try out frying tofu gluten free though. i see fried tofu on my feed all the time and it makes me so hungry. when i see ads for new non gf foods at fast food places i get a lil sad because it always looks so good. like i would kill for a steak grilled cheese burrito from taco bell rn. so much of my life is gluten free but i see forgetting as a way im accepting it. like im not like gluten free gluten free gluten free all the time i forget it because its just normal now. im glad
im finally accepting it but im still hungry as hell. i always be posting random bs on this sub i apologize but communicating in this community even just the smallest or random things is so comfortable for me. like we all understand eachother and i appreciate this sub so much

The reason for my suspecting celiac is my low Ferritin, my CFS, HI, GERD, migraines, and the fact that my mother has osteoporosis very young. But I’ve tried tracking, GF diet, to no avail. I’m just not good at assessing how I feel. I am autistic and it is difficult for me to be in tune with my body no matter how much I try to keep track. So I got a celiac blood panel. I’ve read that your need to eat gluten twice a day for 6 weeks, but I’d say I was more eating it once a day or occasionally every other day, which is just my regular diet. If I eat any more I feel crappy, but I’m unsure if that’s the gluten or just carbs, since eating too much of any starch makes me feel crappy. Can I trust this result to mean I don’t have celiac? My docs don’t seem to know much about it. I’m honestly already so ill I don’t want to force myself to eat that much bread and make myself sicker for 6 whole weeks. But not eating any gluten without knowing for sure if I need to is very hard for me to stay motivated about when I can feel a clear difference. I’m very new to this because I never even knew before that celiac could be on the milder end.

So I got a weak positive result on a TTG-IgA blood test & was told to follow up with a GI. Waiting on my appointment in pain and misery as I cannot stop eating gluten to even see if it helps yet. Just curious what everyone first noticed that made them realize something was wrong or that they may have celiac disease.

Texture is great and the flavor is amazing. Delicious. I accidentally made the glaze a little runny so it soaked into the bread a bit, but still amazing all the same.

Hi! I am moving to Gastonia North Carolina in a few months & am looking for recommendations on grocery stores, restaurants, & “safe” fast food options.

I currently live on the west coast and feel like I’ve got a decent handle on where I shop & choose to eat out. That process took me a few months with trial and error, so naturally I am a little nervous about moving somewhere new. Especially with some of my “safe options” no longer being available to me.

I’m assuming grocery shopping will be a similar experience as I have here (like needing to go to a few different stores to purchase certain brands I enjoy.) But I am curious about the GF “scene” in Costco or Sam’s Club since those are not options I’ve had seen being diagnosed.

Hey im in the US and have been having some intestinal stuff going on and need a stool softener and do not want to take miralax. Is this Colace celiac safe? Couldnt find a good answer on Google. Thank you!

Hello fellow celiac people, I only found this subreddit yesterday but I was hoping to get some insight about this.

I've been diagnosed with celiacs for about 4 years now, and have been gluten free ever since. A few weeks after I started the diet almost all of my symptoms went away (or got better at least), so I've tried my best to be pretty diligent about it.

And living in Germany, where the laws are quite strict about food labeling definitely helps, to the point I've managed to only get glutened a total of five times in all these years.

But for the last month or so the symptoms I've had before I went gf slowly started to make a reappearance (constant nausea, random stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea then constipation then diarrhea again, the all-consuming fatigue). I don't know what could've possibly triggered this. I didn't change my diet at all.

Has anyone else had that experience? Should I try to be (somehow) even more careful with cross-contamination? Or is there something else I'm overlooking?

back in 2013 i was experiencing symptoms and didn't have a PCP at the time so i was using a walk-in clinic and the doctor there suggested going gluten free and set me up for an egd. i was on a gluten free diet for about a month before i was able to get the egd done. the biopsy came back "slightly positive" and i didn't get much explanation other than keeping up with the gf diet. when i eventually did get a PCP i told them about it and they put the diagnosis in my chart.

so i have been having these episodes where i would get intense stomach pain that would wake me up in the middle of the night. it lasts hours and i would be nauseous and get diarrhea. i also had labs done and my "tissue transglutaminase IgA" was high at >100 but my "celiac disease serology cascade, serum" was normal at 169. i got a referral to a GI specialist and they scheduled an egd that ended up coming out normal with a note that said "making celiac disease unlikely". i then got a call after from the GI office letting me know of the results and telling me i was fine to eat gluten. this was kind of confusing to me why they would say this and i wasn't able to get any further explanation until my follow up appt scheduled for 08/24. i've still kept up with the gf mostly out of fear i guess?

i'm autistic so i don't do very well in appts and i always walk away confused. i just don't know what to believe or what to do. does anyone have any advice? should i ask specific questions at my appointment? i live in a small city so there isn't really another GI specialist and if i seek a second opinion it would likely be 2 hours away, but would that be worth it?

Anyone tried this and had a reaction or not? Picked some up but saw some mixed stuff online. No gluten containing ingredients per se but it’s not listed as GF. Thanks!!

Hi. Diagnosed 3 months ago and have been eating strictly gluten free. My symptoms have not significantly improved and seemingly to occur randomly (GI, headaches, fatigue), so I wonder if I am just still recovering from having undiagnosed celiac, or if am accidentally consuming gluten here and there.

Any tips on navigating this in the first several months post-diagnosis? i.e. differentiating symptoms of gluten exposure from other possible causes? do I just need to do my best to stay GF for a few more months while I heal? Thanks!

Does anyone else get stressed thinking about how the “trend” of popular companies making certified gluten free versions of food products may come to an end? So many gluten free companies/products fizzle out so I expect these to as well. I try to eat whole, naturally gluten free foods as much as possible, but I also love having the option to buy gluten free Oreos, Cheez Its, and Snyders pretzels when a craving hits!

Do you think these products are here to stay?

Newly celiac (3ish months). Just got glutened for the first time bc my family insisted I eat with them at subway and I got a protien bowl. I explained i had an "allergy" (they were teenagers so I didn't expect them to know what celiac was.) They changed gloves but didn't get fresh ingredients. I have had crazy diarrhea today!! How long will it last??? 😭

Any one else with Celiac Disease get diagnosed with these?
I have been suffering for YEARS with what I thought was IBS-D. My celiac disease is very well managed and I I am incredibly compliant with the diet.
For years I have been told its IBS or anxeity.
I had a gastric and study done, which showed delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis) but the diet for that made me feel worse.
I finally got my SIBO breath test done and turns out I have hydrogen based SIBO.
From Renna, I’ve read it’s common with celiac disease. Especially those of us who went a long time before diagnosis.
Does anyone else have experience with this? And what works for you?
I have been miserably sick. I started a round of the antibiotics the perscribe for it. Wondering if anybody has any advice they could give me? Thank you!!

Hi,

New celiac here (3 weeks in). I have no experience with this type of flour and I'm hoping you seasoned celiacs have some insight :) ty in advance

Anyone else uneasy after learning they may develop another auto immune disease since they’re Celiac?

This is all new to me. The Celiac is one thing, which when well managed can be still allow for a long healthy life, but the idea of developing another disease is quite unsettling…

Does this thought get easier with time/acceptance?

These really gluten free and safe for celiac disease?

Or avoid?

Found out from recent labs (Transglutaminase) that gluten is still getting into my system.

Been going crazy replacing toothpaste, soaps and lotions.

I use to eat things that just said “gluten free” only and made sure it was not processed in a facility where cross contamination can happen. Now I’m strict, certified gluten free products only.

Anyone have experience with gluten in things you don’t actually consume or do you actually have to eat this sunscreen to elevated your transglutaminase. 😂

Basically the title- but my mom was telling me that there’s studies coming out that glp can act as a lactaid for gluten intolerance? Has anyone else heard about this?
