Extended Interview Situation

DH (celiac and casein free) is up for a job opportunity.

 

So far, the application has been handled online and there have been emails and phone calls with the recruiter. 

 

If that goes well, he gets an invite to a week long "orientation." Job offers are handed out (or not) on day 5.  

They put you up at a company owned hotel and breakfast and lunch are catered.   

 

I know he can handle feeding himself. There are fridges, a microwave in a communal kitchen area, a grill and he will have transportation. He's great with a camp stove and can be as paranoid/careful as required in this communal area.  

 

At what point does he mention celiac, if at all?   It IS on his application by way of a required medical checkup.

Personally, I would not disclose that I have celiac disease. It has no impact on my ability to do a job. Let's face it, people hire based on personal preferences (looks, ability to fit in with the team, etc) no matter what company policies are.

It would be great if an HR rep could chime in. HR laws change constantly and I do not keep up as we are self-employed.

Oh, I would use the microwave, but would not use a camp stove on the company grounds.

I don't think I would announce anything to anyone as that sort of labels you as High Maintaince. If he doesn't eat at the meals order extra beverages and if someone asks quietly mention that he has "allergies" and let it go at that for now. Just my take on it.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
