Hello i am newly diagnosed and have a question. I am worried about every day occurrences. For example i just bumped into someone holding and eating a sausage roll from Greggs. Would this affect me in any way.

Welcome to the forum, Bobby123!

No. Don't overthink this. As a general rule, ingestion of gluten is all you have to worry about. There are some exceptions to that for those who are super sensitive to gluten who may also experience celiac reactions from inhaling the aroma of freshly baked bread in a bakery or from contact with skin from foods, shampoos or lotions. Unless you discover that your are super sensitive, just focus on avoiding ingestion of gluten or putting gluten things on your lips and in your mouth such as could happen with say mouthwash or toothpaste that contain gluten.

Focus on learning how gluten is hidden in foods through terminology and avoiding cross contamination when you eat.

I agree, and if the roll touched your skin a simple wash would remove it. Some celiacs avoid going into wheat bakeries and get symptoms they believe have come from air exposure, but some work at them and haven't had issues.

Thanks for your replies. Also i like with non-celiacs that share a microwave. Am i right in assuming my food would be fine if i use a plate and a plate cover even if they cooked food 2 hours prior.

I think you would be okay there, Bobby. Some or our forum participants report celiac reactions even to the aroma of freshly baked bread but I do not think that is a problem except with the most sensitive celiacs.

I won’t think so….as long as you don’t eat ,inhale or rub it on your skin ….you should be fine….

wishing you a symptom free day…😁

Thank you so much. Also just caught my cat pawing my chocolate bars. I am assuming they are fine if they are all in wrappers. Did not want to throw away food.

Candy can contain wheat, either as an intentional ingredient or through cross contamination (CC) of some of the ingredients that may have been processed on equipment used to process gluten containing grains. Don't take anything for granted.

Forgot to mention they are gluten-free bars.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
