Rather it be from the wet stuff a co worker lift behind on the table that you tried to clean before siting or smelling something in the microwave,these red spots come up.YThe co workers don't come to ask you questions about why you have the bumbs.Thay go to the boss and complain.How do you explain something that sounds crazy and make him or her see this as an allergey?Some bosses would understand and let it go.But other may see DH and celiac disease as something you made up and''Give you time to''get your act together or your fired''.How do you controll somthing that controlls you?Celiac is just as hard to explain.''Why don't you want to eat this.....''You try to make co workers/bosses think your not hert by the smart things they say and do behind your back.But do you realy want to die or lose a job?

Get a note from your doctor. They will be legally bound to deal with it at that point. (Also try adding some printed out medical documentation on it.)

If you are in the US, and work for a large enough employer, invoke your rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. You may be better off speaking with someone from HR who should be more able to accommodate you.

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein...
