I just have one big question: why do I get sick almost every time I eat at a restaurant, no matter what I might eat? Last week Red Lobster nearly killed me! lol Looking back, I didn't drown myself in gluten.

Is it mostly a cross-contamination problem?

Makes me want to avoid eating out at all!

I'm no officially dx yet. Just a family history and all the symptoms. After my blood tests next week I am going gluten-free.

It's either going to be cross contamination, or maybe a gluten-containing ingredient that was overlooked (such as a seasoning or something).

Red Lobster is definitely not the most Celiac friendly place... Try eating off the gluten free menu at Outback or PF Changs first and see if you still feel horrible.

I don't know, but I gave up eating out for two months and felt better then I have in a year! Even with stuff that should be safe. Anyway, I tried again without success at Chipotle's. I know it isn't in my head, but it is very frustrating!

      I used Aveeno products for years and had to stop using it because my skin problems got worse.  I do have Dermatitis Herpetiformis.   Not all people with Celiac react to oats.   I use tallow balm.  People have been using it for thousands of years.  Tallow balm is better absorbed that plant fats.  There's also tallow balm soap.  My favorite brand is Vintage Tradition Tallow Balm.

      Yes I have thyroid and have had it for over 30 years and just got diagnosed for cealiac last march.I have been complaining all the years about stomach pain weight lost hair falling out they kept blaming on the thyroid and I am over 70 years old. but what I’ve been reading thyroid,diabetes,should take a closer look,I think autoimmune plays a part.All I know is that I cook strictly gluten-free and also found if restaurants don’t have a designated gluten-free kitchen not going there. Cross contamination is a big thing .

      Celiac Disease is not taken seriously and I want that to change. It affects one in so many ways and not being properly cared for is frustrating and inhumane. On our worst days the last thing we are thinking about is going to the the hospital.Im 54 years old and went through the celiac ringer with incompetent doctors not understanding the disease and gaslighting me when not feeling well.Ive learned so much with the celiac community and had to school my new gi whose actually listening and understanding, now, this year 2025 when i was half told in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy..Pregancy doesn't affect the public but it's a reportable condition. I want to make celiac disease a reportable disease to protect the patients from being medically gaslight as I was.I want awareness, I want to not have another go through what Ive been through. In order for celiac disease to be taken seriously, I truly think it needs to be reportable disease to protect the patients. I did email Adam Gray and also my local representative.

      I use Aveeno for decades and I am dealing with skin issues and didn't think anything of Aveeno being a problem. Is Aveeno ok?I also use Yarrow pom in it which I notice helps.
