Chicken Barbecue

I am on Day 2 of being diagnosed with silent celiac disease.  I have no physical symptoms.  My body does not absorb iron and calcium.  My question, I am committed to a fund raiser chicken barbecue and am wondering if the chicken will be okay if I don't eat the skin.

If the chicken is coated in gluten, like fried chicken - no,  you will never get it all off.  You might check - often BBQ chicken is gluten-free.

In your case, because you have only been trying to be gluten-free for 2 days, it probably doesn't matter.  But, in my opinion, you may want to read up a bit about being gluten free.  Here is a good starting place  -

Me?  There is no WAY I would eat at a BBQ fundraiser.  Like our high school band or water polo banquets, we purchased our tickets, ate beforehand and ordered a soda or coffee.  The goal was to have fun,  socialize and support our kid.   Sometimes, I order tickets and tell them not to tell the caterer and to pocket the cash for the booster clubs since we do not eat the food.    A win win for the booster non-profit clubs.

By the way.....I just had anemia and osteoporosis.  No gut issues.  Now, with a gluten exposure, I get super sick with GI issues.  Odd, but true.    Just a heads up.  

The good news?  My anemia resolved within a few months, but I was pretty much a gluten free diet expert because my hubby has been gluten free for 12 years prior to my diagnosis.

I am the same.  Anemia and osteoporosis.  Good to hear the anemia improved.  How about the osteoporosis?  Did you ever take any medicine?  I tried evista for 4 months and had a bad reaction.  Next I tried Boniva for 4 mo this and had a reaction.  I then stopped and haven't taken anything.  I am curious if the malabsorption would have prevented the osteoporosis mess from absorbing.

I was diagnosed 4 months after I went through the "window of menopause".  Yep, went for an "over 50" colonoscopy and during my GI consult,  he recommended celiac testing.  I was anemic (my entire life), but that was blamed on a genetic anemia and 30 day periods during perimenopause ....lovely.  I had no gut issues.  

Three months later, I fractured a few vertebrae doing nothing.  So, because I just went through menopause, I opted for Hormone Replacement for a year.  Two years later, my bone scan revealed no changes.  Not better, not worse.  I do exercise a lot for a person my age.  I do not take any supplements.  I prefer to obtain all my nutrients through my diet, but I eat really well.  Probably better than most.  

Everyone is different in terms of celiac damage.  They heal differently and have other issues than need to be taken into consideration.  

It has been four years since my fracture and I am doing well.  Gave up roller skating though.  Still ride my road bike.  Still running on a trail.  Still lifting those boring weights.

      Reportable Disease

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I am actively dealing with a ray of issues, my skin, eyes and digestive even though not eating wheat.Menopuase has activated so much right now, considering its getting worse with my health. I have learned so much thanks to this website.I wasn't properly told of my celiac disease which was confirmed by colonoscopy and endoscopy in 1994 the same year I gave birth to my first son, my tolerance level was horrible. After being diagnosed and staying away from wheat continued problems. My chiropractor at the time in 2007 had my blood work sent off and turns out I have more food allergies. I told my primary of my celiac disease in 2000 and continued to see that doctor up until May if this year 2025 considering my celiac disease was ignored, disregarded and what Im currently going through and been through. I assumed my celiac disease was " registered " at the time in 1994 just as pregnancy and other ailments are reported. I was shocked to learn that its not a mandated reportable disease not documented by the state from hospitals which I for one think it should be considering all the medical gaslighting im dealing with which is causing depression. Im told not worry about other, well I am and its NOT right.It needs to be documented so others don't suffer and go through this nightmare. Im seriously ready to go down to the mayors office and make some noise. Thoughts?

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      With all the bloodwork, have they checked your vitamin D?  What is it?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption, so vitamin deficiencies are common.  Doctors rarely mention this. B1 Gastrointestinal beriberi, a severe thiamine deficiency, is characterized by symptoms including anorexia (loss of appetite), abdominal discomfort and pain, nausea, and vomiting. Other potential symptoms like abdominal fullness, indigestion, and constipation can also occur. These gastrointestinal issues may resist standard treatments, signaling a need to consider thiamine deficiency.  It is commonly believed that thiamine deficiency is not an issue in the western cultures, so rarely address by doctors. Doses of thiamine above 100 mg several times a day will quickly show improvement.  Borderline deficiency will come and go depending on what your eat.  Carbs use it up faster, so for example if you eat a lot of carbs today, tomorrow you may have symptoms.  Thiamine (Benfothiamine is a synthetic fat soluable thiamine) is water soluable, we only store maybe a weeks worth, and there is no upper limit on how much you consume.  Excess is stored or peed away.   For them it isn't a oroblem.  LOL.  They just say some people are like that and see the next patient.

      I used the cream for 4 days as prescribed 3 years ago. While I cannot be sure it triggered these problems, the timing is very suspicious. Yes, the oats are gluten free, and while I knew some celiacs have a problem with oats, I only just thought to eliminate them.  I just read about corn on this website, which I do eat plenty of. I do eat dairy, and would be so terrible sad to give it up, but..... Thank you for the diary suggestions. I'll start one today. Thanks for responding!

      Welcome to the forum, @sillyac58! Are you still using this topical medication for this precancerous spot on your lip? If not, are you saying you used it for a limited time and believe it triggered additional ongoing immune system reactions with unpleasant symptoms? I'm not clear on this. Are the oats you use certified gluten free? You may know this already, but even if they are certified gluten free, the oat protein avenin is similar enough to gluten to cause reactions in some celiacs. The development of other food intolerances is also common in the celiac community. Common offenders in addition to oats are dairy, eggs corn and soy. Dairy and oats are the most common, however. You might do well to keep a food diary and check for patterns.
