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.

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It is gluten and dairy free also.

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
