"I am quite convinced this gluten is coming from exposure whilst eating out. Small levels, that don't make me violently sick, but might give me a mild stomach upset." cristiana, are you saying this is your actual experience or are you speculating here? -

I have tried many Vit D. Solgad is one that did not cause any problems. I take 5000IU. Most of their vitamins are gluten-free certified but this is not. They can be purchased direct from Solgar or Amazon.- 1

What is a Michelin star restaurant?

Hi Colin I share your frustration. My coeliac disease was diagnosed in 2013 and it took some years for my TTG levels to settle to normal levels in blood tests. I had to make a few significant changes at home to make sure our house was as gluten free as possible (I share a house with gluten eaters) but time and time again I found I was glutened (or nearly glutened whilst eating out - like regular bread being served with a gluten-free meal ). Even eating in chains that Coeliac UK were recommending as safe for coeliacs. So I gave up eating in restaurants for a while. My blood tests normalised. But here's the thing: the lowest my TTG readings ever got to were 4.5 (10 and under being my local lab's normal levels) and now that I am eating out again more regularly, they've gone up to 10 again. I am quite convinced this gluten is coming from exposure whilst eating out. Small levels, that don't make me violently sick, but might give me a mild stomach upset. My next coeliac blood review is in September and I mean to give up eating out a few months before to see if that helps my blood results get back on track. It seems to me that there are few restaurants which really 'get it' - and a lot of restaurants that don't 'get it' at all. I've found one restaurant in Somerset and a hotel in East Sussex where they really know what they are doing. The restaurant in Somerset hardly uses flour in any of their dishes; the hotel in East Sussex takes in trainees from the local college, so they are teaching best standards. But it has taken a lot of searching and trial and effort on my part to find these two places. There are certainly others in the UK, but it seems to me the only real way to find them is trial and error, or perhaps from the personal recommendation of other strict coeliacs (Incidentally, my coeliac hairdresser tells me that if a Michelin star restaurant has to have a separate food preparation so she has never been glutened in one - I can't say I've ever eaten in one!) For the rest, I think we just have to accept that gluten may be in the air in kitchens, if not on the surfaces, and there will always be some level of risk wherever one dines, unless the restaurant cooks exclusively gluten free dishes.
