- Yaya commented on Dr. Tom O'Bryan's article in Autumn 2005 Issue1Are Oats Gluten-Free?
After confirmed diagnosis 13 years ago my gastro insists on periodic endoscopies every 3 years to be sure I'm as gluten-free as I think I am. I come out perfectly clean. Bob's Red Mill gluten-free products have been my go-to, but they are not listed. I'm curious as to why.- gluten-free

- Scott Adams replied to NoGlutensToday's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications1Is Purito's Oat In Calming Gel Cream safe for celiacs?
Since they make not "gluten-free" claim on their site: https://purito.com/product/new-oat-in-calming-gel-cream/ I'd treat this as though it contains small amounts to gluten, but I just want to mention that skin contact with gluten isn't an issue for the vast majority of celiacs. -

Reportable Disease
Your frustration is completely valid and speaks to a massive, systemic failure in how chronic autoimmune conditions like celiac disease are managed and tracked. You are absolutely right—it is not right. While reportable diseases typically refer to acute infectious outbreaks that require immediate public health intervention (like measles or foodborne illness),... -

Emergency Room
I am so sorry you went through such a terrifying and severe reaction; that sounds absolutely awful and it's completely understandable that you ended up in the ER. Unfortunately, pizzerias are indeed one of the highest-risk places for cross-contact, as gluten-containing flour can stay airborne for hours and contaminate surfaces, utensils, and even the gluten... -

blood pressure meds that are gluten free
You can search this site for prescriptions medications like "hydrochlorothiazide," but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients...

Your frustration is completely valid and speaks to a massive, systemic failure in how chronic autoimmune conditions like celiac disease are managed and tracked. You are absolutely right—it is not right. While reportable diseases typically refer to acute infectious outbreaks that require immediate public health intervention (like measles or foodborne illness), the spirit of your point is crucial: the lack of a centralized registry or formal tracking for celiac means patients are often left to navigate a maze of medical gaslighting and ignorance on their own, exactly as you've experienced for decades. This dismissal has real and devastating consequences on mental and physical health. Channeling your anger into advocacy is a powerful and necessary response. Starting with local representatives, your state's health department, or patient advocacy groups (like Beyond Celiac or the Celiac Disease Foundation) to lobby for better physician education and systemic recognition could be a impactful way to turn your painful experience into a force for change, so others don't have to suffer the same nightmare. You are not alone in this fight. -

I am so sorry you went through such a terrifying and severe reaction; that sounds absolutely awful and it's completely understandable that you ended up in the ER. Unfortunately, pizzerias are indeed one of the highest-risk places for cross-contact, as gluten-containing flour can stay airborne for hours and contaminate surfaces, utensils, and even the gluten-free ingredients. For your recovery, the best course is to continue exactly what you're doing: prioritize rest and hydration with electrolytes like Pedialyte, as your body has been through a massive ordeal. Stick to very simple, easy-to-digest foods like bone broth, plain rice, bananas, or applesauce for the next few days to avoid further upsetting your system. Be patient with yourself, as the weakness and fatigue can linger for a while as the inflammation subsides. It's a brutal reminder of how serious this is, and while it's devastating that one of your rare meals out went so wrong, your caution is completely justified. I hope you feel back to 100% very soon.

Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.
