- JA917 replied to Art Maltman's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms6My 5 months of Struggle
I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend doctors? But I am in Manhattan and see Dr. Lauren Schwartz at Manhattan Gastroenterology. I am still in the process of (potentially) being diagnosed and she has been wonderful. She has experience in Celiac and has a very calming bedside manner. I feel confident I'll get the right diagnosis with... -

Not knowing how long I have to wait for a hospital appointment for the intestine and biopsy seems to make things worse. The thing is if you have headaches you take pain killers, isn’t there anything that I can do?. -

- Scott Adams replied to PixieSticks's topic in Super Sensitive People1Working in a kitchen with gluten?
Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten... -
- PixieSticks posted a topic in Super Sensitive People1Working in a kitchen with gluten?
I used to work in a kitchen where gluten was very prevalent. Cookies, sandwiches, etc. I noticed I started having joint pain, and my hands would flared up in hives while working there. I would sometimes bake cookies during my shift and open the oven having the air from the oven go directly into my face. Even at home my roommates sometimes...

I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend doctors? But I am in Manhattan and see Dr. Lauren Schwartz at Manhattan Gastroenterology. I am still in the process of (potentially) being diagnosed and she has been wonderful. She has experience in Celiac and has a very calming bedside manner. I feel confident I'll get the right diagnosis with her. Give her a try if she takes your insurance. Good luck! -

Welcome to the forum. Can we assume that you've been diagnosed with celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while? If so, it sounds like you may be in the super sensitive group, as others here have reported similar issues when working in bakeries, pizzerias, etc. Until you find other work, and perhaps don't have roommates who cook gluten foods, you may need to consider wearing an N95 mask to avoid breathing in any particles. -

I used to work in a kitchen where gluten was very prevalent. Cookies, sandwiches, etc. I noticed I started having joint pain, and my hands would flared up in hives while working there. I would sometimes bake cookies during my shift and open the oven having the air from the oven go directly into my face. Even at home my roommates sometimes fry things with regular flour and my joints start to hurt, brain fog, it was hard to move for a week, I just genuinely felt weak my legs like jelly and painful. I never put two and two together before. I’m not eating the food I feel like it’s causing issues. My roommates don’t think there’s a correlation as I’m not eating any of the food they’re preparing. I’m trying to find another job now, I got one coming up at a restaurant that serves gluten food and I’ll be working in the kitchen. I’m thinking I should try to find a non food job. Anyone else worked food service and have flare ups?
