I've been gluten-free for nearly five months now. Except for just the other day I had a DING! moment and realized I haven't ever actually been gluten-free. <_<

I'm a bartender and especially when it gets busy, there is beer flying all over the place. Spilling on my hands when I pour from the taps, and spraying on my hands when I open bottles...combine that with my newest favorite snacky treat, pumpkin seeds, and it's no wonder I've been feeling so crappy!

It's funny becasue the same month that I decided to try the gluten-free diet, I was also taking a food safety course which is when I realized just how disgusting people are. So I became very aware of what I was doing while in the kitchen and where my hands had been, etc...Unfortunately my brain-fogged mind just happened to miss the other connection. :unsure:

-- So to all the newbies out there, this is exactly the sort of thing people are talking about when referring to 'the learning curve.' --

So, I suppose that now I will begin some sort of OCD hand-washing campaign. As if my hands aren't dry enough already!

Can you wear surgical gloves at work?

Can you wear surgical gloves at work?

Nah, then I'd really look crazy! :P I am constantly spilling beer all over my hands and forearms. So I just either need to pick a time to sit and eat dinner while I'm there, or becoming overbearingly consciencious (sp?!) about the last time I've washed my hands.

At least that gives me a reason for why I've been feeling kinda bleh.

I feel for you. I always thought that if I had to make extra money I could wait tables or bartend like I did in college. It would be so much harder to do now for several reasons.

At least you figured out what was going on!

Were the pumpkin seeds bad because you were eating them with contaminated hands or for another reason? I like pumpkin seeds...please don't tell me now that I can't eat those too.

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.
