I have some paranoia setting in. Is there anyway to delete a post? I posted about my Christmas story, and I have a few reasons why I want to delete that I won't get into. Is there any way to delete it? Or do I just need to deal with the fact I put a big private story on the internet??

I am  not seeing anything that identifies you.  This could be a lot of people's story.   Only Admin can delete posts and threads,  but he rarely does.  People took time to read it and answer you.  It is a good cautionary tale for others.

Ok. I will let it go. I am very sensitive and seeing so few responded with over 700 views bothers me. But there were other reasons as well.

Lots of people view and never respond for many reasons (like they are not knowledgeable enough or what another member said would be identical information).  Remember, you posted while being sick.  It was just a rant.  Plus, you are anonymous here.  It is one reason why this forum is strong.  It is one reason why I do not belong to a Facebook group (even a private group).    I do not really want EVERYONE to know I have Celiac Disease.  What if I was applying for a job?  

Soon, you will feel better!  Do something positive today!

Ok. Thanks everyone. I am just too sensitive about celiac. My sister understands how to be sure food is gluten free but she didnt want to take the time to do it and double check. Thats what upsets me. Good thing I am careful and responsible for what I eat. I have learned not to trust anyone else but myself.

Good for you.  Honestly, my parents are great but I do not trust them to cook safely for me and my husband.  Ask them about low carb foods (Dad has diabetes), and they are walking encyclopedias.  I stay with them for weeks at a time.  I keep a bin of my gluten-free cooking tools at their house.  I read all labels and supervise all preparation.  But to show up and eat?  Never.  I would get glutened for sure.  It is just not on their radar.

There are a few gluten-free ladies in my orchestra.  They offer me gluten-free goodies.  But I never take them.  They reside in shared households and I do not know if their cookware is clean and gluten-free.  One lady is offended and the other gets that I have celiac disease and my reaction is brutal and long to heal.  

I trust only one other person and that is a girlfriend who has celiac disease.  She gets it!  Heck, I do not even trust my hubby who has been gluten-free for 15 years.  That is because since my diagnosis, I have been handling all the food.  If it is in the house, it is gluten free.  If eating out, he knows to go to only a few select restaurants.  For the most part, I pack him a lunch.  He takes more risks, but he just gets sick for a week.  Me it's about three months (as documented by my GI).  He has become less vigilant because he knows I am the gluten police.  

What I can say, is that your family seems to be supporting your diet.  For many, their families do not care or even make an attempt (I am not talking about cooking).  My Mom buys me lactose free milk (though I do not need it anymore), gluten-free chips and other pre-packaged foods for me prior to our arrival.  The rest of the family knows that hubby and I get the first pass on the buffet line (that I oversaw the food preparation).  The kids know not to double dip and everyone buys squeeze bottle for condiments.  An open bag of chips?  We do not eat them.  Who knows if the kids washed up.  Beside Gluten, they could contain germs!

So, be glad that your sister cares. Just the mental support is priceless! ?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
