So glad you've made it through the first year. It gets so much easier after that first anniversary. :) So... Now you've made my day and I'm going to walk around with a goofy smile all day. Thanks.

Oh, and have a wonderful (gluten free) holiday!

Thank you for being a part of the board too! While I personally just love to see that little kitty in your avatar the most, I also love the help and advice you give to everyone. And that includes the questions you ask, because I sure know that I learn from answering questions as well as asking them. :)

Hi Tiff :D

Thank you for the lovely sentiment, and a big congratulations on getting through the first year!

I have learned a lot from you, too. Your knowledge of all things pharmacy has been so helpful.

I hope that you are having a nice holiday season--I was just thinking about you and your husband. I pray that he is well, and that possibly (?) he is able to be home for Christmas.

Take care, and don't be a stranger--I've missed you :D

I could have pretty much said the same thing, because I've learned so much this past year. We all learn from each other, it would have been so overwhelming without all you guys, and I would never have figured out all my food intolerances, and the adrenal and thyroid problems without this board.

I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Well thank YOU Tiffany. It's nice to be included in that group of very helpful people. I was just thinking last week that I hadn't seen any posts from you lately.

I'm glad you've passed your anniversary. It's a good feeling. I remember when we passed Ty's one year. It seems like so long ago.

I hope you have a happy holiday and I hope your husband can come home soon (if he hasn't already).

Its great that we can all help each other out in different ways...through our experiences, knowledge, questions, etc.

Tiffany,

Congrats on your first year of being gluten-free! :)

I second that; congratulations! We alll understand what a major deal this is - I've just passed my first year as well. You beat me to the punch by starting this thread...I was thinking of it but wasn't sure what to say! :P

I could have pretty much said the same thing, because I've learned so much this past year. We all learn from each other, it would have been so overwhelming without all you guys, and I would never have figured out all my food intolerances, and the adrenal and thyroid problems without this board.

We do learn from each other, and I am so grateful for you all and for this site. Practically everything I know about this condition and what to expect / be mindful of has come from all of you who have taken the time to share your experiences here. I would've gone crazy with all of the upheavals my body's been going through - especially with all these ' new' food allergies and intolerances - if you hadn't clued me in! Thank you all for being so warm and generous, especially at times where you weren't exactly feeling at your best yourselves. Have a wonderful Chrismas, everyone!

Naj.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
