Cross contamination

I am new to the gluten free world and have just been diagnosed with celiac disease. I am struggling to find safe choices when ordering out for food. Co workers at my job are always ordering pizza. I was wondering if it is ok or would it be considered contamination if I peeled the cheese and/or toppings off the pizza and ate it but threw the dough away?

Not a good idea.  It would be safer and healthier food for you if brought your lunch to work.  It is much better to make your own food when starting the gluten-free diet so you know what is in it.  Trusting other people to make food safe for celiacs is risky since many don't understand the issue of cross contamination.

Try eating whole foods like meats, eggs, nuts, fruits, and veggies.  You may find dairy is hard to digest for a few months.

      Thank you! This is very helpful I’ll start looking over everything and writing down what I may be recent to. I suspect minor gluten or another intolerance. Do you have any advice on how to possibly expedite my healing process? I’ve heard taking different herbs and vitamin supplements but it’s a bit overwhelming for how recent I’ve been trying to keep track of my diet. Doing my best to feel better since I’m heaving so many annoying symptoms 😕

      Based on the amount of gluten in typical US diet, our bodies have a really high tolerance for gluten. While it  makes us sick, from inflammation, poor digestion/limited absorption of basic nutrients, & specific vitamin  & mineral deficiencies, it doesn’t kill quickly.  By this time celiac is dx-ed, our immune system are usually over worked & under fed.    Once dx -ed & on GFD, gut starts to heal & immune system function improves both in its ability to find gluten & to response to it. Basically, immune system is on high alert & fully armed so traces of gluten  can set off reactions that are as bad or worse than  those pre-dx.       You’ve reached that point so it’s time to go through products you’re...

      How to Find a Celiac-Savvy Doctor – Tips & Resources

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Finding a doctor who truly understands celiac disease can be challenging—many still rely on outdated info or dismiss lingering symptoms. Here's what's worked for me and others in the celiac community: 1. Start with a Gastroenterologist (GI) Specializing in Celiac Look for GIs affiliated with celiac research centers (e.g., Columbia University, Mayo Clinic, University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center). Ask if they follow updated guidelines (e.g., repeat endoscopy/biopsy when needed, monitor for refractory celiac, nutrient deficiencies). 2.
