Do you wear an N-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour?

Do you eat out in restaurants?

Do you take vitamins?

No mask

Do not eat out

My vitamins are gluten free

You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

Do you eat processed gluten free foods?

I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

 mcg Vit. B12Hi dlaino  - You mentioned that you are now feeling sick all the time. If this is making you miserable you might want to go to your health provider, describe what you are feeling and your symptoms so that theySome of the people here can give you useful advice about taking supp;ements and the amounts you could take to improve your overall health. I have increased my Vit. B12  can help you figure out what is happening. Just because you have gluten intolerance does not mean that your current problems are related to that. Some of the people here can give you useful advice about supplements and how much to take for improved health. I recently upped my Vit. D3 from 50 mcg to 150 mcg and now take either 500 mcg or 1000 mcg of vit. B12 sublingual daily instead of once a week.                                   

Take care

Hi im from northern europe are blood type 0+ have celiac with code K900 on the paper from doctor, have low vitamin D and b12 and folate, zinc, manganese and high copper it say in test. The best food i have eaten for now is LCHF, i tried paleo but i was missing the dairy. And i love the cream in sauces. LCHF is good choice there is no grains in the dishes. It's completly gluten free lifestyle i say. Because i feel good to eat it.

Low carb high fat , this diet is good fo diabetes patients and those who want to get down in weight and have their bloodsugar on good levels. They don't eat carbs they eat high fat products as high fat is not dangerous. It's a myth. Your get more gallstones without fat. When i start eat more fat my gallstones have went off. They not eat grains and sugar. They eat whole fat products and feel better then ever. When i did not eat so much fat before i had problems with my gallbladder and stones. When i started LCHF my doctor said all of my stones have dissapear from gallbladder from last screening of my bladder. I feel better and not tired as i had eat a lot of carbs then my bloodsugar should go up and down like a carousel. Carbs will turn my body to sugar and store as fat. Many doctors now have changed their minds that high fat was so dangerous. But now it have better respond to protect our body. I eat it and i have not feel so good ever. Its a lifestyle for me. I had diabetes 2 before now i don't need to take my insulin anymore.

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
