- trents replied to Tanya177's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease3Worried about being isolated
I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination.

I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options.

How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?- feeling anxious

Worried about being isolated
I am a teacher in a primary school diagnosed with celiac disease 7 months ago. I eat my lunch in my classroom and pop into the staff room for a drink and a chat with colleagues after. I have worked at the school for 14years. I have been told that next year I am moving year groups and will be in another building where I don’t really know any of the other s...- feeling anxious

You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

I have worked at the school for 14years. I have been told that next year I am moving year groups and will be in another building where I don’t really know any of the other staff members. The staff room in that building is tiny and there is really nowhere to sit. I am worried I am going to be isolated as by the time I’ve had my lunch gone over to the other building it will be time to go back and get ready for the afternoon. Am I being over anxious? or is there something that I can ask for at work to help the...
