Good day,

Please can you help me by referring me to a reliable source of well experienced gastroenterologists who specialize in celiac disease and associated symptoms? 

 

Kind regards,

Where do you live?  Most gastroenterologists are pretty familiar with diagnosing and treating celiac disease nowadays. (but I'm in NY City area-- may not be the same everywhere).

Thank you for your response,

I was hoping see a specialist who can assist with the diagnosing the plethora of symptoms that I am experiencing (may or may not be associatedwith Celiac). I will be travelling to LA in the end of July. I live in South Africa. 

Kind regards,

Just to clarify so that you get the information you need: is that LA meaning Los Angeles?  Because LA is also the state code for Louisiana.

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      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. 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’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. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?
